Tablix: Adjacent column group multiplies amounts for other groups
I have a tablix with one row group, displaying departments, and initially no column groups but a couple of columns with turnover and cost figures. Therefore it's basically a table, and until so far it works as expected.
Now I add an adjacent column group to the table, and in this group I want to show the turnover by product group, so I group this column group on the field "product group". This is displayed correctly, but the problem is that the original columns (that should
not have a specific grouping) are multiplied by the number of columns of the group that I added. For example, there are 8 product groups, that means that the turnover in the first column has been multiplied by 8.
Basically what I want to accomplish is a tablix with a few general figures not grouped by anything, and adjacent to this a matrix of product groups against the departments. Since the department list is the same, I preferrably don't like to separate this
into a table and a matrix.
Any help is much appreciated!
Thanks.-

Hi,
Do you mean you need to accomplish the report as the following table shows?
Department
Turnover
Cost
ProductA
ProductB
ProductC
…
DeptA
123
456
12
23
34
DeptB
789
123
45
56
78
DeptC
456
789
89
12
23
…
If so, please refer to the steps below:
1.
Add a matrix to the report.
2.
Specify the Department field to the cell which labeled
Rows, ProductGroup field to the cell which labeled
Columns, Turnover field to the cell which labeled Data.
After that, we can preview the report and the turnover is displayed by Department in rows and by product group in columns.
3.
In order to add a column without grouped, please right click the handle of the ProductGroup column, and select
Insert Column -> Outside group – Left.
Then a new static column will be added
4.
We can specify the field to the cell in the new static column, and also repeat step 3 and 4 to add another static column.
