Matrix won't collapse

I have a Matrix displaying my OLAP based dataset. The dataset looks correct
and the MAtrix displays properly with all rows and columns expanded.
I don't have the ability to collapse or expand any of the rows or columns.
No + - icon displays either.
I have tried changing settings for the initial display of columns as
collapsed and expanded.
Any ideas on the problem?
JimOK... I got it.
The visibility needs to be set on the groups.

matrix showing wrong totals

Going bonkers here. I have a matrix that displays total referrals by month
for the year. Two months, Feb and April are off by 1 when I view the matrix,
but other months show correct amt. when just doing a simple query with same
criteria, the dataset is correct. I've looked at the data countless times
but cannot deterine where the issue is. Possible matrix problem? anyone seem
results llike this?
HELP!more food for thought. I changed the query a bit. rather than selecting all
companies who referred to us, I selected just one. Results were accurate with
just one referrer. I'm still perplexed though...

sounds like a standard olap situation where you need to write some

Matrix Reports Subtotals

Hi,
I have a two parter based on matrix reports
I am trying to develop a report which displays data for weekdays as columns
and Servers as rows. The range of the dates is selectable by the user so is
not fixed. We track start / end times for each server as it starts / ends
backups and the report is displayed somewhat similarly to below.
S M T W T F
S
SQL Server 09:00 15:00 18:00 19:00 19:00 21:00 22:00
11:45 19:45 18:05 etc
IIS Server 1 09:00 15:00 18:00 19:00 19:00 21:00 22:00
11:45 19:45 18:05 etc
The data looks something like this
ServerName varchar(100),
StartTime datetime,
EndTime datetime,
SuccessTF bit
Part 1
--
What i want to do is have subtotals that are for the number of records in
each column; so we can see successfull backups.
Part 2
--
The (first or final) column would be to determine the success of the backups
overall; i have this as a value against every row in sql server but only want
to display it once at the end.I think you want the CountRows function.
CountRows("Department")http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156330.aspxOn
the second part, I think the First() function is what you are after.Steve

I agree, only a subtotal row puts a value out for every column and doesnt
seem to let me edit the contents of it. They are all greyed out and display a
strange calculation based on the dates / times in the columns above.

I am looking for the same type of answer and have a similar issue. When
at the subtotal level I want to do something different. In my example I have
several detail cells (they refer to as "static" or mutiple data fields
because they are all meant to be grouped by the same row/column constraints).
Anyway ... one of these fields is a flag that is either a 1 or 0 depending on
whether a field value (threshold) is one that matches a parameter value
entered to run the report. So in the subtotal I want to SUM all the values
and get a count of how many thresholds are tracking. I cant figure out how
to SUM this value when the detail cell expression is not a SUM it is an IIF
statement. In other words, like you , I want to do something different on
the subtotal but there isnt an option to alter the expression.

In the end I gave up and wrote some asp to write the report out to excel.
We looked and using a sub report to do the totaling but the sql became overly
complex (and getting things to line up was a total pain)

Matrix report not setting the pagewidth properly

Hi,
I have a matrix report that displays offices down the page and all the
days in a month across the page, with a subreport in each cell
displaying other data.
The problem i am having is when i load the page the first time it will
only display half the days, when i press refresh or change the zoom
level it correctly displays all the data.
I have tried setting the zoom level on the url and setting the actual
and interactive page size to A2 (594mm x 420mm) and it has made no
difference.
Any suggestions on how i can get this to display correctly?
Thanks

Usually, when including subreports in a table, etc of another report,
the format tends to be a little hard to control (at least, at the
granular level). If there is a way to avoid using the subreport(s) in
this way, I would suggest it. I would check the complexity of the
queries/stored procedures used for the subreports and maybe use the
Database Engine Tuning Advisor to improve the performance of the
queries/stored procedures. It seems like there might be a bottleneck
with the queries. Hope this helps.

Matrix hide zeros

Hi,
I have built a matrix report that counts the number of orders in a day by
customer and displays all dates regardless of whether any orders were placed
then. I would like to hide the zeros for customers without orders, but I
cannot figure out how to filter those out or alternately make the zeros
display as white on a white background.
I want it to look like this:
1/1/07 1/2/07 1/3/07 1/4/07 1/5/07 Totals
Acme 1 1 4
7
Bernett 2 1 3 2
7
Chapmen 5 1 2
8
Totals 3 6 5 0 8
22
Any help is greatly appreciated!
KathyI can think of three options.
1. Alter the query to return NULL where the value is 0
2. Place a filter expression on the Dataset in Reporting Services. This is
accessed from the Data tab
3. Place an expression on the cell in the Matrix layout to test for 0 and
return nothing or a blank space

Matix Grouping error need advice fast

SQLServer 2000 SP4 with RS SP2:
I have a matrix that displays URLs and Dates. The grouping is by URL
within Date. The URL is being formatted through custom code that strips
of everything after the first '/' ignoring 'http://' as below:
<Code>
Public Function FormatUrl(ByRef url As String) As String
Dim r As New
System.Text.RegularExpressions.Regex("[^http://].*/|[^http://].*\?",
System.Text.RegularExpressions.RegexOptions.IgnoreCase)
Dim m As System.Text.RegularExpressions.Match = r.Match(url)
return m.ToString()
End Function
</Code>
When I display the URL as in
<Textbox Name="Address">
<Style>
<PaddingLeft>2pt</PaddingLeft>
<BorderStyle>
<Default>Solid</Default>
</BorderStyle>
<FontSize>9pt</FontSize>
<PaddingBottom>2pt</PaddingBottom>
<PaddingTop>2pt</PaddingTop>
<PaddingRight>2pt</PaddingRight>
</Style>
<ZIndex>2</ZIndex>
<rd:DefaultName>Address</rd:DefaultName>
<CanGrow>true</CanGrow>
<Value>=Code.FormatUrl(Fields!HttpReferrer.Value)</Value>
</Textbox>
It works as I hoped but when I try to group the matrix of off
'=Code.FormatUrl(Fields!HttpReferrer.Value)' as:
<Grouping Name="matrix1_DateRow">
<GroupExpressions>
<GroupExpression>=Code.FormatUrl(Fields!HttpReferrer.Value)</GroupExpression>
</GroupExpressions>
</Grouping>
the report compiles, but throughs an exception at runtime as below:
--
Processing Errors
--
An error has occurred during report processing.
Exception of type
Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.ReportProcessingException
was thrown.
--
OK
--
Can someone explain why I am getting this exception? Can you group off
of this type of expression?
Thanks for any helpI'm not sure, I'd call MS Support. The help doesn't offer a whole lot...
