SSRS: Drill down

Let’s make the report at little more readable and interactive.

We are going to do a drill down on the names in our report. This mean when the report first opens, you will only see one row for each name. If you want to see the details of that person, you can click on a + by their name and the details for that person will pop down like an accordion.

Below your report design window, you should see another window called Row Groups

Go to the area marked Details (green arrow) and right click – Group Properties…

Click Visibility > Hide > Display can be toggled.

(Note I am selecting Name1 not Name. If you remember Name was the column we hid. Name1 is the column created when we created the Parent Group)

Now when you open your report, you will see it is in drill down format.
