Question

The values I have in the row group are not First, Sum or anything else that would summarize a row. All records should be returned as simply the Fields!FieldName.Value of the dataset. Consider the following dataset:

 SerlNmbr     ItemNmbr    Qty 
 ABC123       34562334     2
 ABC123       23314454     1
 ABC123       09878976     3

So if in my table I set up row group “Serial” to group by field SerlNmbr to display the ItemNmbr and Qty, I should see:

SerlNmbr     ItemNmbr     Qty
ABC123 
             34562334      2
             23314454      1
             09878976      3

But instead, I only get the first row of the dataset. But then when I go back in the Serial group and take out the grouping by SerlNmbr, I get:

SerlNmbr    ItemNmbr      Qty
ABC123
            34562334       2
ABC123 
            23314454       1
ABC123
            09878976       3

So I know that my dataset is returning all 3 rows. Why is my grouping removing all but the first?

Answer 1

So it may not be the most proper way, but I got what I needed by leaving it grouped the way it is in my third example and simply hiding the SerlNmbr rows that are duplicates by doing

=IIF(Previous(Fields!SerlNmbr.Value) = Fields!SerlNmbr.Value, True, False)

in row visibility.
