Hi,
I am coming back to SSRS after a very long time and I need some advice on the best approach to convert an Excel report with lots of formula into Excel.
I have attached a partial image of the Excel report together with a partial image of the Excel template that is used to generate the report.
The cells which contain value rely on the Excel SUMIFS function. E.g for the first Cash cell:
=SUMIFS(shDailyBal!$F:$F, shDailyBal!$C:$C, $C6, shDailyBal!$E:$E, "demand", shDailyBal!$A:$A, ReportDate)
My question is this: should I supply the raw data to the SSRS report (just like the Excel report) and then replicate the SUMIF using expressions (in a Tablix)? Or should I create the data in a SQL view and use SSRS to simply do the formatting?
Please note:
- the report is quite large (many rows)
- there are sub-totals e.g. the bold Field Saleswithin the report lines
As I say, it has been a few years since I did SSRS reports so any advice would be appreciated. Thanks in advance...
