Why not use LAG() to get the previous ship date for a tracking number?  This is ugly, but I think it'll work:

CREATE TABLE #tblB (

Why can't you use a function?
I'd use DelimitedSplit8K and be done... Why the arbitrary requirement? Is this a class assignment or something?.

Not sure how you would end up with only one record in your subreport.  Are you using a parameterized stored procedure as the source for your subreport's dataset? Does the...

You probably have to shrink it, but then you'll have to rebuild all the indexes... Good thing it's Friday... might be done by Monday.

Did you try using a CASE statement?

If you don't use a date in tabular model, you can't mark the column as a date, so you can't use a lot of the built in time intelligence functions......
