Crystal Reports 2013 Suppress Blank Page at beginning of each Group - crystal-reports-2013

In the Group Header I placed all the fields names below the Group name/field (BIN ID). In the Paging section under Select Expert, I selected New Page After. In my results I do in fact get a page break when the BIN ID changes, which is what I wanted. The problem is I am getting a blank page (with Groups Headers on it) at the beginning of each new group and I do not want that. EG, the very first page of the output is a blank except for the first BIN ID with field names and the next page has exactly the same Group Header data plus all the rows of details in it. That pattern repeats through the whole results. How do I make it stop?
Thanks!

"In the Paging section under Select Expert, I selected New Page After." When I removed that selection I still got my page breaks and it stopped adding in the blank pages. Problem solved.

Add the page break in the report which the report is the form letter

I'm beginner to design the SSRS which my experience come from Crystal report.
Today, I use report builder to create letter form
and I have add one Tablix and add many row inside under the single group (Just like make form in excel).
But I don't how to add page break on special row (Just like add page break on special row. I try many time but still not work and want to show the picture to you
and I have also try to one more new Tablix and in the new Tablix Page Break Options check "Add a page break before" and keep together on one page if possible, The final result is the new Tablix content appear at the last page.
(Let say we have 20 records, the new tablix place on Page21)
Can anyone advise how to do it ?
Thank you
Insert a rectangle where you want the page break, then in the rectangle properties select "Add a page break after".

Suppress Duplicate Rows only in the Same Page

I am using Suppress Duplicate function to prevent the same item code to be displayed more than once.
I have just one question:
Is it possible to hide the duplicates only in the same page?
For example, Item Code "1111" is displayed in Page-1, no duplication is shown under it. But in case "1111" has a long list in other columns and continues to Page-2, is it possible to display the item code in the first row of Page-2 and then suppressed again? So if it has an even longer list and extends to Page-3, the item code can be displayed again in the top row?
You could add a group by on the item code and place the information about in the group header. That way there are no duplicates, but you have the option to repeat the header with information on each new page.
Thank you for the comment.
It is already grouped by the item code. But I cannot use the table header to display the code because one item code is not always repeated. So one page might have 2 item codes only, but the next page might have 50 different codes. In the latter case, using the table header can be tricky(probably need to iterate the table for 50 times?). Also it is tricky because my report layout has to be consistent with the excel layout sample prepared by my client.
Thank you for your input anyway.

Multiple detail rows and page breaks on report

I have a problem with a rdlc page breaking and table with multiple detail rows. Tried everything that crossed my mind, none works.
As you can see on the picture below, the table has 7 detail rows.
Now, when report is rendered, the page gets spitted between, for example, rows 2 and 3 which is bad.
I wish to keep all of detail rows (that belong to one record) on the same page. How can I accomplish this?
I think you should create a group based on whatever joins the one record together, let's call it PlaceID. So right click, Add Group, choose what to group by.
Then, under the row groups you should have a group by PlaceID, and underneath that, a row marked "Details". Highlight Details in the lower section, which should highlight in the report the rows involved. Set the KeepTogether property of that section to True, should keep details on the same page.
If you don't want to use the Group option mentioned by Jerry, this option in the Table Properties may help...

Different layout for 1st and rest pages of report

I currently have a detailed report to design:
A report which has different header-footer-detail for the first and rest of the pages. I tried to overcome the challange by using 2 Master Pages (not quite achieved anything yet) but I am stuck at the point which row count of 1st and rest of the pages... 1st page has 20 rest of the pages have 35 rows. Namely the question is:
"How can I set different pagebreak intervals for the table for each page?"
PS: BIRT version: 3.7
Edit: I've tried to create a group on row number and put a filter on row number to maintain flow between 2 different tables but no luck. (It didnt make real sense to put row filter but tried anyway :))
What you may need to do in the body section of your report is create a grid of one column and two rows. In the advanced properties for the upper cell, look under the section property for the Master Page setting, set that value equal to the name of your first master page. Place your report contents in that cell and set the master page references to your first master page as well. Repeat this for the second cell and references to the second page. Your table(s) have an advanced property for page break interval that you can adjust to control how many rows go on a page.
However if you want your table data to flow continuously from the first page into the second page and onward, I am not sure if this is possible but will update my answer if I find a way.

suppress page footer in crystal report

I want to display the address(6 lines) in first page only. i am applying suppress formula in page footer. The problem is the 6 line space are repeated in remaining pages.
thank u,
There is no way around this limitation. Page headers and footers always take up a fixed amount of space. Without knowing any details about your report, the best suggestion I can make is to try putting your fields in a group footer or detail section that is set to print at the bottom of the page.
You have an option called Suppress blank section in the Section Expert screen. If you select that then the section will be automatically suppressed if nothing is there, anyway you are conditionally suppressing it and I assume that you are suppressing it if the pagenumber is not equal to 1. So from page 2 the section will come as empty and enabling this flag will the suppress this space
