Hello All,
I was hoping someone someone might be able to provide some guidance. I am attempting to get to grips with SSRS reporting for Dynamics CRM 2011 online, but have already elapsed my limited knowledge.
Situation:
I started by building a report that shows a break down of all orders a client has, the order products in each order and the value of these products.
| Customer | Order | Product | Value | Total Value |
| Customer A | Order A | Product A | 10 | |
| Product B | 20 | |||
| Product C | 30 | |||
| 60 | ||||
| Order B | Product D | 15 | ||
| Product E | 20 | |||
| Product F | 25 | |||
| 60 | ||||
This I can do no problem
However I want to add another level of detail to this report. My employer has a business model where customers subscribe to particular products in an order. I would like to be show these in the report like so:
| Customer | Order | Product | Subscriber | Value | Total Value |
| Customer A | Order A | Product A | 10 | ||
| Subscriber A | |||||
| Subscriber B | |||||
| Product B | 20 | ||||
| Subscriber C | |||||
| Subscriber D | |||||
| Product C | 30 | ||||
| Subscriber E | |||||
| 60 |
It is at this stage I am getting confused......
1) If I try and return all the data I would require in a single FetchXML query, I get multiple duplicate rows that then distort the true value of the order (a duplicate of each order product for every subscription attached to the order).
2) If I have two FetchXML datasets, I do not know how I would combine them to replicate the structure above. The unique identifier would be a Concatenation of Order Name and Product, but I don't know if this helps me.
Can anyone provide some guidance about what would be best practice here:
- Is such a report easily possible? (It doesn't seem a particularly uncommon request)
- Should I be trying to work with one or two datasets?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated because, at the moment, I am really just going round in circles.
Thanks for any help!
