Hi! I need to group by parent row above column row as you can see in picture 

 

Here this matrix would be first grouped by Project Name , then in column cell it would be grouped by date then in left rows section it would be grouped by Business Name then Phase then Activity Name. Please guide me as soon as possible. 

Hi Emad,

According to your description, you want to create a matrix to show detail information of each Business grouping on Project field, right?

In the scenario, you could create business child row group and project as parent row group. Then you could insert rows in the Business group and add the fields into their corresponding groups. You need to delete invalid parent group column and some other header rows and columns. We have tested in our local environment. Please refer to steps below:

1. Create a matrix and drag the Phase and Activity field (Business child field) into the matrix row.
2. Add a row group (Group by Business field) and Right-click the Phase and Activity field and select Insert Row (Outside Group-Above), then drag Business field into the text box.
3. Add a row group (Group by Project field) and Right-click the Business field and select Insert Row (Outside Group-Above), then drag Project field into the text box. Delete the project column and business column (Select Delete group only).
4. Right-click the Business field and select Insert Row (Outside Group-Above), then drag ProjectAddress field into the text box. The other fields are the same operation.
5. Drag the Day field into the text box to the right of the Business field. Right-click the Day field and add a parent column group. Then delete the day column (Select Delete group only).
6. Now the matrix layout is almost finished. Repeat the Step 4, add the other child field into their parent group and delete invalid columns and rows. The matrix is like below:
   

The result is like below:

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

I am lost. I cannot understand what you have done. Your description is too hard to understand. Can you send me the sample rdlc report ? or a .gif file of the procedure you have done ?

Hi Emad,

Could you give us an e-mail address? We will send the .rdl file to you.

Thanks Shrek Li ,

I received your email. But still there are few misconceptions between us. Actually you are repeating all the phase and activities of a business under one roof like this :

While i am concerned about this :

In above image you can see that in project A business name is also repeated with its other phase and activities. All phases and activities of a specific business are not under one roof.

Hi Emad,

Do you want to all pahses and activities under each bussiness group? In my sample report, we create a business group based on "Phase And Activity" field, then create a project group based on "Business" group. Is this how you do it?

Hi Shrek,take an example from this image. In this image to can see that meet 1 though is one business but it is repeated again in a particular project because it has more than one phase and activity. Therefore business name is repeating. I would not like to bunch all phase and activity of a specific business under one group

Hi Emad,

You only need to delete the "Business" Group, then right-click "Phase and Activity" field and select Insert Row (Inside Group Above). Drag "Business" field into the text box.
