SSRS tablix split report into two sets of columns

Question

I have a report that lists some basic data about a company for all (possibly) 52 weeks of the year. The report takes in parameters of year and UptoWeek. So for example i can

Answer 1

You could set up a column group based on an expression like:

=IIf(Fields!Week.Value <= 26, 1, 0)

Note that this is set to 26, as 26 really should be on the left side, I think.

Your row group expression will need to be something like:

=(Fields!Week.Value - 1) Mod 26

So say I have data like this:

(snip)

And a tablix like this, grouped as above:

With the above grouping, this works for me:

(snip)

This will split your data into two groups based and week and as such will meet your requirements. Since you're only interested in two groups and have a ready-made row number in Week, you can keep the expression simple.

Side-by-side tablixes would most likely be fine, too, but SSRS is notoriously temperamental with adjacent objects. Using grouping as above keeps this as one item at the designer level.
