  • Is one can suggest how to display distinct reocrds in SSRS 2008

  • Change your selection query to eradicate the duplicates at source.

  • thanx for your reply but i have to do changes in SSRS only not in Data base.

    when we compare all the fields of result set it is unique

    from there i am showing few fields in the report . due these looks data populated multiple times to the end user

    i have avoid that

    example

    actual data from query is like this

    c1 c2 c3 c4

    1 2 3 1

    1 2 3 2

    but i am showng c1,c2,c3 fields only in report

    C1 c2 c3

    1 2 3

    1 2 3

    so it seems multiple times data populating .

    I was not suggesting that you modify your database. All you have to do is modify the query which pulls the data into the report.This is part of your report definition and will not modify your database.

    Select distinct c1, c2, c3

    should suffice in this case. If you look in the 'Data' tab for your report, you should be able to modify things in there.

  • You might be able to add a group to your report, and not show any detail. But, Phil is right, the best approach is to alter your dataset query with a DISTINCT.

  • Group on the field with the duplicated value? The only issue this raises is that SUMs etc work out different to what you might expect; but that's almost all the case.
