Report breakout by group
Hi all,
I'm trying to run a report that displays a page break crosstab grouped on a specific field. I have a field called "car make" and I'm trying to run a crosstab which houses info on that "make", but I want the report to break out a crosstab for each "car make".
So, for example, the report runs a crosstab for honda, chevy, and ford, breaks it out for each "make". I haven't been able to find anything online for sql report builder that does that.
Thanks.

Hi vba123,
Thanks for your question. Base on your description, my understanding is that you have
a tablix grouped by a special field “car make”, you want to break out these groups into multiple different tablixes, finally every "car make" is in one tablix, right? If I misunderstand your question, please let me know.
If so, I suggest you drag the tablix into a list, and then add a group
(“car make”)
to the list. I will give you an example, for the detail steps, please follow below:
1. From the Toolbox window, drag a list
control onto the design surface of your report.
2. Click anywhere inside your
tablix, using the crosshair, drag the tablix
into the list.
3. Click anywhere inside the list, point to
Select, select the
list’s name and press
F4 button to open the property window.
4. In the properties window, locate to the
DatasetName property, in the drop-down list, select the same DatasetName of your tablix.
5.
In the
Row Groups section of
Grouping Pane, right-click the
detail of the list, select
Group Properties,
click
Add
button,
select the field “car make”, click
OK.
Please preview your report, you will see multiple tablixes instead of one tablix with all
the items. If you want to display different tablixes on different pages, you can add a page break to the group of the list control. For more information

Sorry for the late reply. I followed your steps to break out by car make. That worked! Thanks for you help.
