I have an SSRS report with multiple subreports, around 12. All subreports contain tables. Whenever a table starts at the bottom of a page, it will continue at the next page, splitting the table in half.
How do I put the entire table on the next page if these cases happen? Is there any way?
if you put the table in a rectangle, there's a setting on the rectangle that says "keep on one page if possible." you could also just repeat the headers on the next page, though: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/reporting-services/report-design/display-row-and-column-headers-on-multiple-pages-report-builder-and-ssrs?view=sql-server-2017

I am using SSRS 2014, aka Report Builder 3, to develop reports at work. The one I'm currently working on requires a "user-level view" and a "supervisor-level view". The difference between the views is that non-supervisory users don't need to see the first three columns and should only see data related to themselves, not other users. Supervisors do need to see everything, but also want to be able to limit what's on-screen at any given time.
I can read the user's role and set visibility based on that. The problem is that I can't hide the columns because the option is not available for them. The option IS available for the columns I'm not grouping on, so I assume that this is because the rows are being grouped on those first three columns. Is there a way around this?
As far as I know there is no nice way of doing this. You can actually hide columns that are not on the details rowgroup even though the right-click context menu does not show the option.
If you left click on the column head to select the entire row, then use the properties panel you can set the Hidden property to an expression.
In fact, what you are actually doing is setting all the textbox's hidden properties.
Unfortunately this literally just hides the textboxes so it just leaves a blank area. This might not be too bad if its at the start or end column but if it was in the middle there would be a gap.
In my sample report with the column not hidden
and then with it hidden
Sometimes you just have to rethink how you present the data. In my example, for instance, I could move the data I want to hide (Year) to the next column across but still in the same row group, then delete the first column. Like this...
Now when I run the report with everything visible it looks like this.
Now, I set the ROW visibility of the row with the [Year] field and when I run the report I get this...
I am trying to replace our outdated shipping label program with a SQL Server report, and I am very green when it comes to doing this. I am testing using an ODBC connection with some sample data. I have created a DataSource which is a simple "SELECT * FROM LABELLIST" statement. Each row in this table contains ONE label.
In the DataSet I have each column that is needed (To, From, Carrier, PO, etc) listed. I have dragged the fields onto a blank report and in the expression it is set to "=Fields!FROMADDRESS.Value". As mentioned earlier, each ROW is a new label, but when previewing, I only get the first record as a label. What do I have to use (tablix, matrix, list, grouping?) to accomplish this and how?. I'm not sure how to search for this answer online and was hoping to get a reference page to read on how to do it. Everything I've found pertaining to labels or "row to page mapping" is showing how to print multiple labels/rows to one page and not each row to a single page.
EdIt: to clarify, each label is being sent to a zebra thermal printer and follows a similar format to a UPS or FedEx shipping label. Each row in the table will be one shipping label.
The key for you to understand is how SSRS handles Page Breaks. I have a similar answer here.
Whatever formatting you have for your labels should be placed inside a Rectangle.
Place this rectangle into a table with one cell that is grouped by label ID.
Set the group to page break between instances.
This makes the report repeat one instance of the label on each page. It can be a little tricky to understand at first, but it is a very useful trick. I have used this for reports like invoices where we needed one on each page.
I have designed simple SSRS report, the thing is like I have data which is splitted into master details using sub-reports, and I have kept these into a Row Group control in body part of main report.
Here the header which I placed in main report is getting repeated only as per row and it is not visible if a details of specific records is gets spilled over next page.
How can I show the header on each and every page irrespective of the row (record)?
Please find below screen shot for details.
Please see link to answer below:
You'll want to select the the Advanced Mode where you can select row detail. Here, you should be able to select the Static row columns. On the right in the Properties, you'll want to set "RepeatOnNewPage" to True
SSRS How to repeat the table header on each page in print preview
I have the following table (see the table below). It is querying into a table in my database, which has around 10 000 lines.
It starts well as you can (also below)
Issue is when going to the second page and after, the table is spreading around.
updated version after my wrong description: What I want actually is to have several tables in one page , with the last table complete with the 8 rows at the end of the page and have the next table start on another page.
I tried to set the tablix and the rectangle ,with the following properties:
General
KeepTogether = True
PageBreak
BreakLocation = End
Disabled = False
ResetPageNumber = False
However, it is still not giving me the desired results.
Any tips are more than welcomed
Put your table inside a List Item, and deactivate the Add a page break after in the List.
Or if you want to fit as many tables as possible on a page, but keep the page break from splitting them, here is how I have done this in the past:
Create a sub-report that contains a single tablix for a single data entry.
Put a single-celled tablix on your main report that gets the list of data entries for the full report.
Put a rectangle inside the single cell.
Put the sub-report inside the rectangle, and pass it the ID of the data entry.
I have a report that has one table with two rows. The first row is just a header, the second is a subreport. The subreport consists of a single table. I want to pass one parameter into the subreport (Fields!patient_id.Value) and have the subreport repeat for every patient id. I have that working, but for some reason it inserts a pagebreak after every instance of the subreport when I look at the print preview, even though it could easily fit four of them on one page. I haven't set anything to insert a pagebreak at any place in the report or the subreport. I do want the page to break, but only when there is not enough room on the page to fit an entire subreport.
I've done enough troubleshooting to be able to say for certain that it is the subreport control or the subreport itself that is causing the problem, not the table. Any help would be appreciated.
Edit: It's also important to note that when I preview my subreport, there are no page breaks.
I found a solution. Instead of putting the subreport into the table, I put it into a list with a grouping expression of "=Fields!patient_id.Value".
set the ConsumeContainerWhitespace = True on the Report Properties
default is set to false and it attempts to preserve the blank space next to your table
