Hi All,

In the Report Builder Reports, In the DSV i have changed the table query by selecting the primarykey twice with different aliases and i have made the alias as LOGICAL PRIMARY KEY.

I did this because i need to take COUNT on this Primary key column in my report.
But now after deploying i am not able to see either of them in the report builder.

Without this i cant proceed with my report.

Can anyone please suggest how can i overcome this?

Any help/suggestion in this regard is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hi All,

I could solve this. No w am getting my matrix report correctly.

I would like to share this with you all so that it may help some....

I did the following:

1. My requirement was to show the count of PK of a table against different status.

So in that table in DSV, i selected the "Replace Table with New named Query" option.
There i changed the query by selecting the primary key of the table twice by giving alias to one of them.

(Ex: Select empid, empid as ID , ....(other columns) from employees)
and set that ID as LOGICAL PRIMARY KEY.

Then i deployed the project.

2. I could now see the ID column in the Report Builder column list.
3. I used that column according to my requirement.

Now i am getting totals based on this ID column!!!!

Hope this helps someone...

Also, experts, please guide me if there is a better way of achiving this.

Your suggestions are always welcome.

After this i have one more issue....
I need to create a drill down report for this report now. This is a matrix report. I am using Report Builder 1.0

Is it possible ? Please guide me

Thanks,
Malavika.
