We have developed RDL with several tables. One of the tables has 75 columns. And the said table is created in the following manner in order to achieve our goal (see details below for your reference).
1) Open the Visual Studio 2010 and Created a Report Server Project
2) Added shared data source and embedded dataset and then added a new blank RDL
3) Open the RDL and inserted a new table through the Design pane.
4) Assign the newly created dataset to the newly created table.
5) From the Row Groups, I added a Parent Group and then assign the first column from the dataset in the Group By.
6) A new column will be added at the left-most of the table.
7) From the newly created column, do the right-click and select the following: (1) Insert COlumn (2) Inside Group - Right. DO this until you created 75 columns at the left side of the table.
The Observation...
From the Visual Studio 2010, this RDL is loading and exporting to Excel successfully. BUT... when the same RDL is deployed to the higher environment, we are getting error. Error is encountered when we tried to change the data source, or just by clicking the RDL to load.
The higher environment I am referring to isSQL Server 2012 Reporting Services Integrated to SharePoint 2010.
Is there a way to fix this?
On the other hand, please don't hesitate to tell us if this is not the right way to achieve our goal. Hence, please let us know what to do.
THE GOAL
1) the RDL should be displaying the table in such a way that the first column is the parent of the next (right) column (so on and so forth) and
2) several rows will be merged for the parent columns if the values are similar for example...
Columns: Country ~ Employee ~ Products
Records:
(row 1) Philippines Robert Bike
(row 2) Headset
(row 3) Albert Bike
(row 4) Headset
(row 5) Japan Eugene Bike
(row 6) China Jackie Headset
(row 7) Tonee Bike
