Visual Studio SSRS Calendar Report Details Not Grouping

Question

I am trying to build a calendar report in Visual Studio Reporting Services. The issue I am having is that the IDs aren't grouping together in the same cell. I'm sure this has to do with how I am bringing in the data but is there a way to render it correctly? Essentially I want one row per week with all the applicable IDs in the applicable cell.

Here's what I've done in this situation.

1. Add a ROW_NUMBER() with a partition on the ID
2. Group on the ROW_NUMBER() rather than the ID.

So, in your SQL query, add another column that might look something like this:

,ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY ID, Date ORDER BY ID, Date) RowNum

If that doesn't work, or you're not familiar with the window functions, post your query.
