I have a report requirement (SSRS 2012) that produces a summary of the same information gathered from different source systems. These have individual connection strings and include several third party products.
At this time, the information is being manually input into an Excel worksheet that shows a summary row for each account, with all of the disparate systems on one worksheet.
I've already explained to the user group that I cannot incorporate the different sources into one worksheet. The question I need to answer is whether or not I could create separate datasets and place different tablixes (same layout, different datasource) after one another with a page break and then export to Excel. The end goal would be to display each source system on a worksheet within a common workbook. Is this a possibility?
If I can overcome this hurdle the only issue is getting the user to understand that 38 columns wide is not going to translate well into one printed page (per his request). For that, I think I'll let a visual do the work of explaining the problem and let him print out the too-wide report and try to read it without a magnifying glass. :-)
