SSRS implement Paging for tabular reports - sql-server

I am using a Tablix in one of my SQL Reporting services report. Default view shows up all records. I want to implement Paging like show up first 50 records in page 1 and next 50 records in page 2 and so on. Can someone help me with this?

In some reports, you may want to place a page break at the end of a specified number of rows instead of, or in addition to, on groups or report items. To do this, create a group in a data region (typically a group immediately outside the detail), add a page break to the group, and then add a group expression to group by a specified number of rows.
The following expression, when placed in the group expression, assigns a number to each set of 25 rows. When a page break is defined for the group, this expression results in a page break every 25 rows.
=Int((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/25)

SSRS Selective Page Break

I'm having some formatting issues in SSRS with a current report I'm working on concerning property records. My report is built with 6 tablixes aligned in a landscape view meant to remain in a specific layout for potential printing of the report.
The first Tablix contains general information about the property in question and the owner. This information will be completely static and should remain the same.
The second Tablix is the problem. This Tablix is formatted to pull data from a stored procedure concerning parcels of land and generate up to 13 rows, filling in NULL values if less than 13 rows of data exist. The issue is if MORE than 13 rows of data exist. Currently, the result I have stretches the report and messes up the formatting entirely with 14 or more rows.
There are 4 other tablixes below this Tablix that contain additional details about the property, including buildings, outbuildings, and general appraisal summaries for the property. These will remain the same, as well. Each of these tablixes pulls from its own data set and has a stored procedure to generate the rows as needed.
My goal is to generate a report that contains up to 13 rows of land data on the first page and with any additional rows, keep the same exact page layout, but with the land data Tablix filled with rows 14-26 on a second page. That is, the layout from the first page of the report is repeated but with the remaining rows of data within the land data Tablix.
I've included the layout of the form for reference and I'm currently using Report Builder 2012 with MSSQL. The Land Section Detail is the Tablix in question.

Honestly, I'm not sure that this is possible, but I'm open to any suggestions on how to make this work.

Best sample I can offer considering the size of the data set
I once had the same problem to limit the row numbers of a tablix. This description was the solution:
Display a fixed number of rows
I was able to solve this issue with a somewhat complex method, but a method that worked perfectly for the report. The basic idea was to use a temporary table to keep all of the data aligned with a row count and page number in each dataset. With that row count, I was able to determine a cut-off point for each page. For example, if a Tablix had room for 9 rows of data, each of the first 9 rows of data were assigned the page number 1. Rows 10-18 would be assigned page number 2. In this way, I was able to group the report based on the page number.
If no data was assigned to a given page, I had an additional dataset that generated the correct number of blank rows to fill the same gap and maintain the correct page layout.

SQL Server Report Builder (2016) - disabling page breaking within row group instance

I am working with SQL Server Report Builder 2016 to create a report and then export its contents to PDF. I have the following problem:
Tablix that forms a row group is filled with data from the dataset. There is a group property enabling setting page breaks between each instance of a group. What I want to achieve is - "do not set page breaks within an instance of a group", so that each page contains the maximum number of complete group instances.
At the moment page breaks are inserted in such a way that group instance can be split across two pages. Setting page break after each instance of a group is not the resolution of my issue as then, I would have just one group instance per page and I want to have as many groups as possible per page.
Could you please advise how to achieve that?
Maybe it would be possible to change the report structure, so that each group instance is exported as a separate table. Then, setting 'Keep together' option would give the desired outcome. At the moment all group instances are exported as one big table (multiple pages) and thus, 'Keep together' option does not make sense.
Thanks in advance!

SSRS: Dynamically Creating New Matrix

I have the following format in my dataset (see Dataset Layout screenshot).
I need this report to show like the following (see Report Layout screenshot) with a bit of a difference, but first let me explain.
This report is a "monthly" report that shows the data for each day of a given month. What I have shown in the Report Layout screen shot is how the report displays if the user only selects one available value for column "Level!2!Sample". So in other words, instead of seeing multiple values in that column as shown in the screen print, it would only contain one distinct value. This report works when only one item is available, but I need to allow for multiple options.
What I need to do is be able to display data like this for multiple values of "Level!2!Sample", and each time a new "Level!2!Sample" is encountered, it would create a new matrix as shown in the screen print. So if there are four distinct items for this column, I would have four different tables shown on the report, each displaying the data for the given distinct value of the "Level!2!Sample" column.
I assume I would need to use an "Order By" clause to get my data looking correctly:
Order By
Level!2!Sample,
name!3!Title,
month!4!ReportMonth
But I am not sure how to get SSRS to create a new matrix when the new level!2!sample record is encountered.
I hope my explanation makes sense as to what I am trying to do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
You can't create a new matrix like that but there are other options.
Simple option: Create one big matrix grouped by Level!2!Sample and have page break between groups. This would obviously mean you would end up with 4 pages in your sample scenario which may not be ideal.
Slightly less simple option:
Create a new report
Include your parameter as you did for the current report.
Add a dataset (let's call it dsLoop) that returns a single column and 1 record per selected parameter entry. This might look something like SELECT DISTINCT Level!2!Sample FROM myTable WHERE Level!2!Sample IN(#myParameter).
Add a table with a single column and a single row and set it's width to the width of your report/page.
Set the dataset for the table to be dsLoop
In the table's cell insert a subreport and set the subreport properties to point to your original report
Set the subreport parameter to Level!2!Sample from your dataset.
Notes:
a. You can get rid of the available values and related datasets from your original report as these are no longer needed (optional)
b. You can add rows before or after the cell with the subreport if you want to add gaps between each tablix.
Basically your new report acts as a loop and creates one row per selected item in the parameter list, each row contains an entire subreport with the parameter for the current row passed to it.
The net result is that you will get a 'new' table for each selected entry.
Hope that makes sense.

SSRS - How to fit the content of a table into a single page for each table and not have part of the table spread between 2 pages

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.

SSRS 2005 unwanted page breaks between subreports

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
