SSRS-使用不同日期的数据集（表）

Question

I'm creating a report with all of the sales made from each product category. I added a table that contains on the column side: Months and for Rows I have the Product Category (ie Chairs, Tables, etc.).

So it should be looking something like this:

Product | January | February | March | April
---------------------------------------------
Chairs  | value   | value    | value | value

Tables  | value   | value    | value | value

So the thing is that I need to calculate the total amount of chairs sold each month.

I created the query:

SELECT SUM(Quantity)
FROM Sales
WHERE PurchaseDate BETWEEN '2015-01-01' AND '2015-01-31'

That query is inside a Dataset, but I'm looking for a way to use this same Dataset but pass it or change the PurchaseDate range in order to calculate the rest of the sales per month.

Answer 1

Add a Matrix with the following fields and groups settings:

In Row Groups add Category field and in Column group add a Parent Group , use the following expression:

=MONTHNAME(MONTH(Fields!PurchaseDate.Value))

Use the above expression in the column at the right side of Category column.

It will preview the following matrix:

Note my example only include dates in January and February, in your case it should show every all months returned by your dataset.

Let me know if this helps.
