Keeping tables together on one page - Report Builder - sql-server

stumped on this one. I know there has to be a logical reason or solution to this but it has left me scratching my head. I am using Report Builder 3.0 to build a report that will display information for a particular individual on each page. Meaning new page for each individual.
Anyway, I currently have 4 small tables across the top of the page until I reach the right margin. For an additional table, I place it underneath the first table on the left in the top row. Even though there is enough room vertically to contain the information from the tables in the first row and the table in the second row, it wont display that second row table until it returns a page for each individual, then it will put that data on a page of its own.
Example, if I have say 20 individuals returned, it will show the top row of tables on the first 20 pages, then starting on page 21 it will finally show the data from the table in the second row and so on.
I hope this makes sense! Any feedback or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
Table 1
Table 2
Table 3
Table 4
First
First
First
First
Second
Second
Second
Second
Table 5
First
Second
This is the layout as it looks like in design mode. When I render the report, tables 1-4 will display on first page, but table 5 will not display on that page, but a second page. As far as I have been able to tell, all table data should fall within the body of the page when taking page size and margins into account.
EDIT: Each of these tables do have a Group based on the individuals name column. Also, if I were to slightly overlap the top of table 5 with the bottom of table 1, it will display the tables on the same page.

How to manipulate dataset to get information from different tables?

Currently my data is set up as a union of two tables. The red rows are Table 1 and the blue rows are Table 2. I am doing my union in SQL Server and am connecting this into Tableau. I am using Excel right now to depict what I am seeing (left pivot table) more easily and what I want to see (right made-up pivot table).
The current pivot table is showing when filtered on a particular Plant/Project/Product, those are the components that go into the Product and those are the months in which the Products are due to the customer. The values in the bottom row are the quantity of the Product that is due to the customer. For example- in June, a quantity of 1 of the 150-100020-1000 product is due to the customer. The quantities are showing up under a null component because that field isn’t in Table 2, as you can see in the blue rows.
I want those bottom row values to appear under literally any one of those components that are listed. In this case, it’s only showing one set of Plant/Project/Product, but I would want the formula/code to pick up on that too when it’s evaluating what to output. In the example on the right side made-up pivot table, I have the quantities showing up under the component #100, but it can be under any of them as long as the Plant/Project/Product is equal in both tables. I also don't want the blank/null dates from Table 1 to show up, but they are tied to the components so I can't filter them out easily.
I've tried several types of joins and temporarily tables to get this working and keep coming up blank. How can I set up my dataset to get the view I want to see in Tableau?
Dataset and Current View + View I Want
Your problem is you don't have a Component against a Qty. Hence for what you want somehow you need to create a Component. Perhaps this is possible using a FIXED calc, which would create this field across all records. If the value of Component doesn't matter create this calculation:
{MIN([Component])}
This should put 100 against each record.
If you also need to keep the existing Component value, when it exists, try a formula such as:
IFNULL([Component],{MIN([Component])})
Note I haven't tested any of this.

Render multiple pages in SSRS report into single page

I have a SSRS report to show values from a stored procedure in SQL Server Business Intelligence Studio. The stored procedure will return 120 rows, each row will be displayed as a table format in my report.
So now I have 120 pages, each page having one table equivalent to a row in the stored procedure. I want 4 tables on every single page, so that there should be 30 pages in the SSRS report, with each page having 4 tables that is 4 rows from the stored procedure.
I have added grouping and page breaks but it did not help. Can you please help me.?
Currently I have
Actually I want like this
Add this to the code of your report. Inside <Page></Page>.
It should be like this:
<Page>
<InteractiveHeight>0in</InteractiveHeight>
<InteractiveWidth>8.5in</InteractiveWidth>
</Page>
Change the InteractiveHeight value. You can notice that I just put 0in on it. That means, there will be no height limit. The report will just always show in just 1 page. Measure/Estimate the report's Height by inches to show only 4 tables per page of your report.
In case you're not familiar how to view the code of you report, Just follow the below steps.
1. Go to Solution Explorer.
2. Right Click the report.
3. Click View Code
you can change your proc to add a grouping column, and a table column, something like this
*group, table,row columns*
group1, table1,row1
group1, table2,row2
group1, table3,row3
group1, table4,row4
group2, table1,row5
group2, table2,row6
group2, table3,row7
group2, table4,row8
..
you will need some manipulating the sql to achieve this, but doable.
Then in your ssrs report, put a list object, the list will group on the group column defined above. Add 4 tables in 2 x 2 format into a rectangle object (rectangle is to keep the tables together), each table will have a filter (in properties) (table 1: table = table, table 2: table = table etc), then add the rectangle into the list. In the group properties of the list, check break between groups. Now your page will be based on the groups you defined. And each table in the same group(page) will only show data based on the filter.

SSRS. Page break between tables (tablix) issue

I have SSRS report with few tables (tablix control) inside. Tables are independent (but uses the same datasouce with different filters) and goes one after another in the report:
Report header
Table1
Table2
Table3
...
TableN
In case some table contains 0 rows I hide it.
What i need to do is to show each table on separate page.
For this I set page break to "End" for each table except last one. So each table is show on separate page.
Here is an issue:
In case last table contains no data it's hidden but previous table inserts page break and I get report with last page blank.
Please let me know how can I fix the issue so I don't have blank pages and each tablix is located on separate page (tables with no rows should be hidden).
Thanks beforehand,
-Petro
Simply set the PageBreak -> BreakLocation property of each Tablix to Start except for the first Tablix.

How to create a push segue from an existing tableview (not the initial view controller) to a TabBarController?

I have 4 tables organized hierarchically, from least detailed to most detailed: Table1 (higher level than 2) > Table2 (higher level than 3) > Table3 (higher level than 4) > Table4. Table1-3 are fully static. They do not change in components at all, so they were all hard coded through the storyboard. Now at table 4, the components may change, so I have managed through research and outside help to create and populate it programmatically.
Table4 has 2 sections with different number of rows. Say 2 rows in section 1 and 3 rows in 2. Now what I want to do is everytime the user click one of the cells in any rows, irrespective of sections, he/she is taken to the tabbarcontroller I currently designed on the storyboard. This tab bar has 2 tabs. The 1st tab when pushed should show general information about the component at the row just clicked on. The 2nd should show a bunch of statistics on that same component which row was clicked.
That is it. That is what I the end product should be able to do. I am currently stuck at how to create the segue from this table that is created programmatically (table4). In sort, this segue should be dynamic in the sense that irrespective of the row clicked, you are always taken to the same view (the tab bar).
I am happy to to work through this on my own if I can find some a good book or source on the internet that shows how to set this up from where I am today in the project. But I have searched and have failed to come up with anything.

Component to dynamically Reshuffle the table contents in Adf

Is there any ADF Component that will let me to dynamically reshuffle the records in a table?
That is, if there are 50 records in a table and I want to re-order the first record with 20th record in a user interface way?
That is, 20th record will be displayed in the top order followed by the first record.
There is no out of the box feature, but you can do this by retrieving the iterator behind this table, and start messing around with the rows and do whatever you want, this and this can be helpful to show you a way to do it.
