Joining two datasets
Hi All,
I have the following two datasets:
Folders:
1) FolderId
2) FolderName
3) FolderPath
4) ParentFolderID
5) Depth
Files:
1) FolderId
2) FolderPath
3) FileName
Currently I am displaying the folder structure as a tree representation in SSRS (using Table and Group properties). I want to enhance the report by displaying the total number of files in that folder and all its sub folders against a folder row. As both
datasets contains a folderpath - For every row in Folder Dataset I want to count the number of rows in Files Dataset where the Files.FolderPath starts with Folder.FolderPath.
Any thoughts on how to implement the join between two datasets - Lookup function doesn;t work in this case as we need to do a FolderPath% match instead of the directly mapping the FolderPath column.

You can use a table and group by the folderid = in the details, put a subreport and link on the folderid. You can have it all clean looking by having the details collapsed on initial view.
