Now preview the report again and you will notice the additional formatting we just applied. =IIF(Count(Fields!FullName.Value, “Details”, Recursive) > 1, “Bold”, “Normal”) This expression will count the number of rows returned for each group, if it’s greater than 1 it will have bold font. Next we will set the font style of the parent values in the hierarchy using the following SSRS expression. As you can see this expression is using the same Level function like we did earlier to dynamically set the padding based on what level in the hierarchy it lands. Locate the Left Padding property and use the following expression. Right click on the FullName column in the detail row group and go to Text Box properties -> Alignment. The first one will add some additional padding so that it looks more like a natural hierarchy. Let’s clean it up a bit by using some additional SSRS expressions.
Notice the third column we created earlier with the Level function. However, if you look closer it’s still less than desirable to look at because it’s still somewhat challenging to see the parent child relationship. Go ahead and preview the report and you will notice that the report will work. In this section we need to select the ParentEmployeeKey as shown below. On the Advanced tab of the group properties you will notice a section labeled as Recursive Parent. On the general tab of the group properties we need to add a grouping on EmployeeKey as shown below. Next we then need to navigate to the to the group properties of our Detail Group. What your report should look like up to this point The Level function will return a zero-based integer representing the current depth level of a recursive hierarchy. The label of this new column probably gave it away but we will be using the Level function within the SSRS expression. To further show you what’s happening here we will use an SSRS expression for a third column. Insert a table into the design tab and then drag over the FullName and Title fields into the table/report. The first thing that we need to do is to build out a table. You can use the following query to return the columns that we need. We will be working with the data from the DimEmployee table. In this example I will be using the Adventure Works sample data warehouse (AWDW) so that you can follow along step by step. Let’s assume that we already have a blank report created and that we also have a shared data source that’s connected back to the AWDW. We will be working with HR data and we want to see the CEO at the top of hierarchy and then see who reports to who after that.
In our example below we want to display the data within a multi-level hierarchy. If you have a self referencing table or even a Parent-Child hierarchy setup in an SSAS multidimensional cube you could find these techniques useful.
#SSRS 2014 REPORT BUILDER HOW TO#
In this blog I will walk you through an example of how to use SSRS to report on recursive data.
#SSRS 2014 REPORT BUILDER INSTALL#
The link below will also go over some other install options as well.Īlso here’s a good link covering most if not all of the new SSRS 2016 features. Just keep in mind that most of the new fancy dash boarding, KPI and mobile dashboards features will still require you to install SSRS 2016 and setup the web portal.
Try downloading the new report builder RC3 which is now available. Want to experiment with some of the new 2016 SSRS features without having to install another instance? Well you’re in luck.
