Row Headings in Matrix

Hi

I have designed a Matrix in SSRS and I cannot seem to find any way in which
to insert row headings.  Column headings are fine and have been added
automatically, but for some reason Row headings are not inserted by
default - which is odd, since matric reports designed by Report Builder, via
Report Models seem to have row headings.

Is there someone out there who can advise how this can be done, since I have
looked for hours on the internet and cannot find anything.

Kind regards

Ricky

Hello RickyP,

I did this before, but sadly enough cannot really remember how, but this might
help you along:

- Right-click on your matrix and select "Properties" from the menu
- Open the "Groups" tab

There you should be able to insert your required data.

Greets,

I tried looking in this area, but there is nothing there that is relevant to
adding in row headings....
Could you elaborate any further?

I am not too sure what it is you really want. Do you just want to add a
header, add a dynamic row or add static content?

Could you maybe give an example of what you want your matrix to look like?

Hi Stitch

Thanks for getting back to me.

Essentially I am after a matrix that has column and row headings.  the
Column headings are okay, but for some reason I cannot get Row headings up.

E.g
                           Salary
Name        Age
Paul            21        100
Richard      30         200

As seen in the example above I can get the "Salary" title to appear on the
Martix, but not the "Name" and "Age" headings to appear.

Kind regards

Ricky

Hey RockyP,

You are going about this the wrong way if I understand you correctly. The
matrix is not suitable for what you need to do because it dynamically loads
the rows AND the columns from the data you put into it. In other words, you
can't create static column titles.

For your case I would suggest using a table. You can then add the headers
(columns) you need and load the rows with the information dynamically. This
will give you the headers/columns (Name, Age, Salary) with the data
automatically loaded in the rows below them.

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Stitch10925

Hey Stitch

Thanks for your reply, but this works in Report Builder reports, based off
Report Models, I don't see why Report Designer can't do this?

Hello RickyP,

After finally having to work with Matrixes again I now finally understand
what you were trying to tell me! (Sorry for that).

So, I am actually trying to find a solution for the same problem you are
having, if I find something I will let you know.

Hey Stitch

Thanks for your reply, I have kinda got around it, although it's kind of
crude in the approach.

One way is to create a Matrix in report builder and then open it in Report
Designer and then strip out all references to the model and replace with
your own data set.  The other alternative is to create a container and embed
multiple text boxes in the matrix, with each corresponding column, although
lining up the columns headings to their respective data columns is very time
consuming.

kind regards
