Not getting SSRS report output in desired format

Question

I am designing SSRS 2005 report which has four subreports within a main report. The report has a group header containing "name" dataset field .Each subreport is grouped on the same "name" field.This name field is also one of the column for the dataset of each subreport.

A rough format of the report is as shown below(For each name field of the main report dataset we have four sub reports)

I tried adding header with image as a group header of a table and subreports as table rows with all rows grouped by name field but i am getting the same data in each report. Can someone please guide me how to go about to get the desired output.

Answer 1

In order for subreports to filter the data from the parent report, you'll need to match a field from your main report (NAME?) with the field in your subreport using the Subreport Properties' Parameters tab.

You should have a Parameter in your subreport and a Filter on the subreports data that uses the parameter. This way, each record in the main report will have each subreport filtered by your grouping field.

Answer 2

You need to wrap the whole thing (header and subreports) in a List, and populate the List from your "Main" dataset. Then pass values from the List's dataset to the subreports and header.
