I'm having difficulty getting a tablix to page break appropriately. This is, currently, set as a subreport within a main report page. The problem child is a childgroup within a parent group. The parent group of the tablix is too small to reach page borders, and is grouped by client / document ID. The child group of the same tablix contains data of client's properties grouped by property ID. This child group exceeds page boarders, and gets truncated mid-row (Horizontal formatting is all under control).
I've already set all cells within the table to "KeepTogether = False" in advanced mode. I tried using a parallel group to the child group, grouping by a row count (if I insert a page break every 24 or 30 rows from the child group, it'll fix it). But VS says I cannot use an aggregate within a group. And I've tried playing with replacing the child group with another subreport. And ran into another batch of trouble there. I hope this is a sufficiently detailed question. Thanks for your time!!!!

I have a report in SSRS that uses a matrix with static columns.
Here are the static columns:
After generating the report, the rows with same values end up being grouped together:
Is there any way to get rid of these groups? I'd rather the values be repeated for each row, so it looks more like an excel sheet.
Here is a better picture of my report design plus the row and column groups. These groups were created when I added them to the matrix and are not needed as far as what I can tell for my report:
As you are not doing any calcuations on hte row gorups, there is no need for them.
Delete all but one of the row groups by right-clicking the rowgroup in the Row Groups pane at the bottom of the screen and choosing Delete Group. If prompted, choose Delete Group Only, otherwise it will delete the associated columns too.
When you noly have one group left, right-click it and choose Group Properties and delete the group expression, this will change it to be a details style group.
Make sure the Hide Duplicate expression is back to default (blank or None) in case you changed it earlier.
That should work. I replicated a similar scenario to your and the above step did the trick.
You will probably also need to go back to your group properties and set the sorting options to ensure data is sorted correctly.
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...
I'm trying to create a report with some controls "anchored" to the very end. The difficulty is that I can't add this to the page footer because the report could span multiple pages leaving a giant white space at the end of each report if I decide to toggle visibility. The items I have should only appear on the very last page and be positioned just above the footer.
For example, in this scenario, I need the letter's closing signature, titles, etc. positioned at the very end of the last page the report spans.
As an alternative to adding a sub report you could try the suggestion below.
It all depends on how you data is laid out in your report whether it could work for you.
If all the data required to populate the controls exists in the report dataset why not add an outer lever of grouping that encompasses the entire dataset. You could do this using a dummy column containing 1 for example.
Just add a footer to this group and put your data in the group footer.
You can additional rows as necessary to the group footer.
This footer will always appear as the last row(s) in the tablix
In VS2010 I have a report, with a table of data that can cause the report to span multiple pages.
Also on this report I have a rectangle that has some contact information for the company the report is for, that I need it to repeat on every page, to the side of the previous table. However this rectangle is not, and cannot be in the header or footer. Is there a way to make an element of a report repeat on every page?
I'm afraid there isn't. You'll have to mimic this by splitting your report into pieces and forcing page breaks after which you display the header again. You can use the List component to do this and group your data to a fixed row height to break to a next page.
Currently, my report is set up with a Child table placed in a row of a Parent table. Each row of the child table has a Grid element that allows me to have more control over the format of the report. There are several fields in the child report with varying field lengths so a Field per Column of the report won't work. Note that I am only setting the data source of the Tables, not of the grid elements.
This works when rendering to HTML, however, when rendering to a PDF file a page break appears just before the row containing the child page.
Things I have tried to resolve the issue with:
Setting page breaks to "Avoid"
Setting the page break interval to something high
Tested with 2.6.2 and 3.7.2. 4.2 currently will not run on my machine.
When you using a column for each field in the table instead of a Grid element in a single cell, the problem goes away but this is undesirable as there are multiple fields with varying field lengths. Merging multiple cells to make room for the different lengths does work, but it can become unruly when you need to change the report format.
The size of the grid/table does not matter - this happens even when I am only using a couple fields from the data set.
After some more experimentation, I found out that if I remove all Detail Rows of the Parent table that are before the Child Table row, the report is created properly. Unfortunately I need to have rows of information ahead of the Child Table so this does not solve the issue.
Does anyone have a solution?
