Data arrangement in Layout, is my query okay?

  • Hi guys,

    I have the following results from an SQL query:

    Campaign | Cost | Description

    C1 | 0.35 | Postage

    C1 | 0.10 | Packaging

    C1 | 0.03 | Datacapture

    C1 | 0.07 | Processing

    C2 | 0.28 | Postage

    C2 | 0.03 | Packaging

    C2 | 0.09 | Datacapture

    C2 | 0.10 | Processing

    C3 | 0.80 | Postage

    C3 | 0.10 | Packaging

    C3 | 0.15 | Datacapture

    C3 | 0.09 | Processing

    I'd like to produce a report that looks like:

    Campaign | Postage | Packaging | Datacapture | Processing

    C1 | 0.35 | 0.10 | 0.03 | 0.07

    C2 | 0.28 | 0.03 | 0.09 | 0.10

    C3 | 0.80 | 0.10 | 0.15 | 0.09

    Have I gone about the query the wrong way, or is there something in the Layout section that I can do?

    Thanks for your time,

    Chris

  • No it's perfect.

    In you SSRS report add a matrix.

    The row group will be the campain.

    The column group will be the Description

    The data group will the the cost.

  • Ooo.. so it is. Never used the Matrix table. Very easy to use. Thank you.

  • HTH, come back anytime!

  • On the same topic, how do I set the order of the columns that the matrix creates? As not all the same Campaigns have the same charges...

  • Right click on the group, modify group, sort.

  • Thank you, that kind of helps. However, is there a way to set the actual order placement for each individual column? As there are about 30 columns with some that I would liked grouped together in the same matrix.

    If not I will just name them with a through to z before the actual title.

    Thanks

  • Well the details column you sort then manually when you insert them

    The Grouped columns can be sorted on all levels. So I don't know where you are getting stuck on this. Maybe a screenshot would help me out (data view & design view)
