we have report with repeating headers but this time we want the top level group which contains data to repeat on top of each page.
I have set the row group properties: KeepWithGroup = After and RepeatOnNewPage = True
The tablix properties Repeat Header Rows On Each Page and Repeat Header Columns On Each Page are both checked as well.
The table header does repeat but that top level group does not.
In the image below we are trying to get the Office [Oname] row to repeat at the top of each new page.
Report Layout
The only way I have been able to consistently make this work is to add a page number column using a modulo of the row_number to the source dataset, and then grouping on that. This obviously requires that you make sure the number of data rows returned within each page number group will always fit on a page, which isn't always possible.

I have a SSRS report, which I need the table to extend till the end of the page. I have 2 tables next to each other and I am using the left table border to serve as a vertical line between them. It is an invoice table and the values are set dynamically.
The problem:
I want to extend the table till the end of the page or better yet set a vertical line till the end of the page, regardless of the values.
What I have tried so far:
Extending the table till the footer, leaving no space in between.
This works perfectly when I Preview it. But when I save it as PDF the
this change is not reflected.
Drawing a line till the footer. This only reflects on first page.
Setting a line image as background, again this reflects only on first page.
Ideas:
To insert blank rows in the table. Compute total number of rows, subtract from a fixed number per page and insert the resultant blank rows.
I have looked mostly everywhere in the MSDN forum, nothing seems to suggest to resolve this issue. Please suggest a solution.
MyTables
Create a rectangle for the area you want to cover (I guess this would be the whole space between your header and footer.
Then add your tables INSIDE the rectangle and add a simple vertical line between them, the full height of the rectangle.
Set the Report property ConsumeContainerWhitespace to True
I'm using SSRS to build reports. The design is being done using VS2015 and the database server is SQl Server2014.
Here is my issue:
The report I'm building uses a tablix control to display records hold in a dataset. There will be only a max of 5 lines displayed in the tablix. However if the dataset has 3 records in it I would like to add 2 blank lines in the bottom of the tablix in order to always display 5 lines.
I could this at a database level by adding blank records but I would like to do it at a report level using properties/ expressions of the tablix control.
Any help?
Thanks

You will have to add 5 blank rows in the tablix outside the details group, since you won't know how many rows are supposed to be in the dataset initially. You will then want to change the Visibility property of each blank row to an expression. The first row will have an expression that looks at the count of the dataset and if its = 1, then False. That code looks like =IIF(CountRows() = 1, False, True). You will put that as the expression in each of the blank rows, but increasing the number for the subsequent row.
The Problem
I'm building an SSRS report which requires regular group headings on certain rows. The data returned from the database query includes a column with a bit flag indicating which rows need to be treated as group subheadings.
Here's a snippet of the source data:
Note the IsGroupHeading column, where the flag is set to 1 on the first row ("0401").
I want to produce output which looks like this Excel mockup:
So every time the report encounters a row where IsGroupHeading equals 1, it generates a bold group heading row followed by a row with column headings.
What's Happening
I've tried creating a row group in SSRS with the expression =Fields!IsGroupHeading.Value = 1 but I get unexpected results: (1) Only the first group heading is treated specially, and (2) the group heading row is repeated underneath the heading. The result looks like this:
Notice that the "0401" row is repeated under the group heading. In addition, only the first group heading ever gets this special treatment. The report simply ignores subsequent group headings and renders them as normal data rows.
The Question
I've spent hours trying to get this right and this is the closest I've been able to get it and my googling on row groups turns up pages mostly about creating subtotals, so I'm throwing this one out to the community hoping some SSRS experts can help me with this.
I'm going to assume that you're doing this in SQL and that all tariff numbers start with the group header tariff number (in this case, 0401).
Let's say your SQL currently looks like this:
SELECT TariffNumber, RowDescription, TariffRate, IsGroupHeading
FROM Tariffs
What we want to do is join this table on itself to give the group TariffNumber and RowDescription columns on each row to enable us to group on it. We also want to exclude the GroupHeader Tariff from the Details rows. So we get something like this:
SELECT TariffGroup.TariffNumber AS GroupNumber, TariffGroup.RowDescription AS GroupDescription,
TariffDetail.TariffNumber, TariffDetail.RowDescription, TariffDetail.TariffRate
FROM Tariffs AS TariffDetail
INNER JOIN Tariffs AS TariffGroup ON TariffGroup.TariffNumber = Left(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, CharIndex(TariffDetail.TariffNumber, '.')-1) AND TariffDetail.IsGroupHeader = 0
Now you just need to group on GroupNumber and you're done.
I'm just starting with Reporting Services so please take that into consideration.
I'm trying to make a report that groups by Nominee. I also want to group by Nominator i.e. so that if a Nominee has the same Nominator twice then it displays only ONE row instead for two and it increments field Number of Nominations (I get I need to use COUNT() here) and adds the total points of both (which I suspect I need to use SUM() on).
This is my table (on top) and the one I want to display on the bottom.

Notice on the top table that Janine and Rose have 2 different nominations with the same Nominator, therefore on the bottom table they display counts 2 on number of nominations and the sum of the points for both of the nominations.
So far I've tried this:
http://i.imgur.com/LPyiY.png
How can I make it so I can include name, Dept, points and number of nominations in between groups? I've tried inserting text boxes but it doesn't work. Is there a better way to do this?
Also I'm using a Tablix
Just create one group by option that takes the Nominee Name / ID, and display the name.
Within the details section add each nominator name. In the footer of the Nominee Name group just add =COUNT(Fields!NominatorID.Value)
It would end up with something like this:
I am trying to insert a conditional page break, actually i had a report of 50 pages with invoices each invoice is 3 pages long so i need a paghebreak for the 2nd invoice t printon the next page as i need the whole report ot print back to back,so i inserted one page break,so this starts the next invoice to start on 4th page but i want next invoice to start on 5th page which is a new page and i inserted another pagebreak there if the 3rd page of previous report is not filled, but if the 3rd page is filled and the invoice goes on to 4th page then i dont need this additional page break
I tried doign this by taking two rectangles
--first with inert page break at the end
--second with conditional visibility of the rectangle2 and with page break at the start.
and the condition for the rectangle2 to be visible is like
Visibility---hidden and expression is
--iif(count(id field of the table in third page)>=24,true,false)
i.e 3rd page accomodates atmost of 24 records and if the records are more than 24 i dont need another pagebreak and i am hiding the rectangle2 only if records are less than 24 i need another page break and i am not hiding the rectanlge2
BUT THE VISIBILITY IS NOT WORKING AND THE RECTANGLE2 IS NOT WORKING.
Please help me with this..
You should be able to add a column to the data source, such as InvoiceNumber, that you could define as a page-breaking group. Then the page should break before a new Invoice and at the end of each of your rectangles.
This is a known problem with SSRS 2005. It's very unfortunate actually. Have a look at my question here.
