Bless you! I’m just learning SSRS and TOTALLY did not know and would never have guessed that subtotals can only SUM. You helped me get the quarterly averages that were required on a report (that, incidently was supposed to have been written by a contractor, but forgotton/lost….) Thanks to you this report is now ready! And, thanks a lot for explaining the format codes! Your article is the best–extrememly well written, documented and thorough.

Thanks for the solution!

Just one reminder:

As Code.MatrixCellValue() is a custom code you need to add the following script in the code property of the report.

Report Property -> code add the following script:

[code] Public Function MatrixCellValue(ByVal sumValue As Object, ByVal avgValue As Object, ByVal InScope As Boolean, ByVal sumFormat As String, ByVal avgFormat As String) As Object
If InScope Then
Return sumValue
Else
If Not avgValue Is Nothing Then
Return String.Format(sumFormat, CDbl(sumValue)) + vbCrLf + String.Format(avgFormat, CDbl(avgValue))
Else
Return Nothing
End If
End If
End Function
[/code]
Othervise you will recieve this error:
[b][BC30451] Name ‘code’ is not declared.[/b]

Cheers,
Amir

Hi
I really hope you can help me get this working.. at the moment i’m struggling to get the custom code section right.
I’m assuming i need to change parts of the code you’ve put in above to reflect my data/matrix? and in the piece you past into the field code i need to change the groups and the field i’m summing?

but i’m not sure exactly how (Sorry.. I’m new to reporting and VB code)

The matrix i have looks a little like this –
=Fields!WeeksStartDate.Value
=Fields!Team.Value =Fields!Technician.Value ***
=”Sum” + vbcrlf + “Avg”

*** is the field where i’ve put the following code in
=Code.MatrixCellValue(
Sum(Fields!Closed.Value),
Avg(Fields!Closed.Value),
InScope(“”matrix1_RowGroup2″”) and InScope(“”matrix1_WeekStartDate”"),
“”{0,6:N0}”",
“”{0,6:N1}”")”

Does that look right?
How do i change the custom code to work with my matrix?

Sorry to be a pain.. and thanks for your time in advance

I have a situation where I want to subtract the results of a column group from each other. For instance, each row of the matrix is a different calculation of different fields and the column group is comprised of two dates the user enters as parameters (firstdate, seconddate).

So, it looks something like this:

Jan 1 2010 Jan 1 2011
#of Employers with medical participants 58 66 (a countdistinct)
# of Medical participants 250702 423960 (a count)
Average EE Premium $164.86 $186.69 (an average)

How can I make a total row that subtacts the values in the column groups, for instance 66-58 = 8 as the #Difference. I also need a percentage calculation, so 66-58/58. Also, since each row is a different calculation based on a different field in the dataset, this isn’t a “one expression fits all” type of scenario for the total row. Is there any way to do this in SSRS 2005? Or, does it get any easier to add total rows in 2008 where they use a tablix structure instead of having only the option of a table or a matrix?

Any help would be most appreciated. I’ve been driving myself nuts with this.

Hi! That’s a good tip! But I need help about a similar problem:

Let’s think that you have some Categories and you are displaying the sales percentage in columns determinated by the month of the sale:

Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun
Category 1 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%
Category 2 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%
Category 3 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35%

So, now you need to show a new column with the average of the Past 3 months sales percentage of each category, just like this:

Jan | Feb | Mar | Apr | May | Jun | P3M
Category 1 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%
Category 2 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%
Category 3 10% 15% 20% 25% 30% 35% 30%

With the tip of this article, I have an idea to do this, but only to show the average of all the months and not only the last 3 months.

Any sugestion will be helpful.

Best regards!

Sure, since it is a string that is displayed in the cells, you could add as many values as needed. Just add them as arguments to the “MatrixCellValue” function and in that function concatenate the values seperated by vbCrLf’s.
