I need to insert a tablix at the bottom of a page and then "grow" upwards, depending on the number of rows returned. Looks like SSRS assumes you only want a tablix to grow downwards, with the location options being TOP and LEFT, instead of including a BOTTOM option.
Is it possible to create an Expression for the location? The only workaround I have thought of so far is to create some kind of blank object above the tablix whose size would change depending on the tablix result set, and "push" the tablix down.

I have a SSRS report which use a background image. I need data appears in a fixed position box in image. There are 2 boxes that need to insert table to.
I put data in a tablix with row group, tablix1 in box1, tablix2 in box2.
Data will be listed in row in box1. the more row added, the tablix2 will be push down and won't fit the box2's possition.
Any solution, please?
I have a static Tablix that is of a fixed size and doesn't grow.It needs to be placed exactly 3.5 inches from the bottom of the page.Above this static tablix is a Dynamic Tablix that can grow.Irrespective of the Number of records in the Dynamic Tablix I need the Static Tablix to be displayed at the exact position Always.
For Example: The Dynamic Tablix when having (number of rows>n) or (number of rows<n),The Static Tablix moves out of the required spot...Even when the Dynamic table grows and spills over to the next page,the Static Table moves out of spot. What can be done to keep the Dynamic table in the required Location always
Put both tablixes into rectangles and assuming that your dynamic one doesn't grow larger than the page, your static one should stay where it is.
Fixed this by adding an Empty Tablix and calculating the Number of rows it should need to have such that the Static Tablix comes to the required spot.Kept the Calculate Number of Rows in a ReportVariable and added that many blank rows to the new Empty Tablix
In the SSRS report, I've a tablix which has a single row and a single column (single cell). That row has a single rectangle that contains other rectangles containing other elements. The visiblity expression is set at the tablix level (both tablix visibility and row visibility), but not at the contained rectangles etc. The tablix has a visibility expression set as:
=Fields!ShipmentType.Value<>"Sales
The tablix row also has its row visibility set as:
=IsNothing(Fields!Calc_ShipToAddress.Value)
I've checked the values of these fields and per the values the tablix must be hidden which it is, however, it is still taking whitespace on the PDF.
There are three other tablixes; all three have just the tablix visiblity set, but not the row visibility. Interestingly, these tablixes don't take the whitespace when hidden.
I've searched online various solutions including various posts on SO too, but none has worked for me so far. I've even set the visibility of the column for that tablix, but still it takes the whitespace.
I'm putting this as an answer for any future searches in the hope that it might help someone with a similar situation.
In my case, the reason for the top tablix to be always visible as white space (although all the text in it was hidden) was the height of the top tablix. That tablix was overlapping the next tablix by a small notch and hence was visible as a white space on the report. I zoomed to 400% for something else and accidentally found this overlap.
Once I fixed tablix's height, the report functioned as expected and the tablix was hidden completely (no white space).
I have a report that is laid out as two columns. The column on the left has a number of fields, stacked. These fields will not need to grow in height (maybe in width) The second column has three fields, stacked on top of each other. These will grow in height. The problem is that when they grow, they also push down the fields in the left column. I would like to keep all the fields on the left anchored in place, even if the ones on the right grow in height.
Also, when I say I have them arranged in columns, I just have them in close proximity. Not grouped using any sub reports or anything.
Is there a way to do this?
thanks

You will need to put one group (left or right) into a subreport, so that the other group can grow independently.
I would probably put the static fields (left) into the subreport, so that the others can grow beyond the page break, if necessary.
If you already have a query that returns the one record to print, you can base both reports on it. Otherwise, if the report shows multiple records, use the master/child linking between main and subreport.
I am in a mid of creating a SSRS report, the report consists of a tablix and a chart, both depicts same data i.e. same database query.
The actual number of columns of the Tablix is dynamically decided by the number of rows returns by the query. We are displaying records in a COLUMN-WISE manner.
Example:
If 5 records are returned by the query then 5 columns will be displayed in Tablix...
If 8 records are returned by the query then 8 columns will be displayed in Tablix...
The number of records returned by the query is dynamic, hence the width of Tablix is dynamic.
Now about the chart, the width of chart always remains fixed, but we want that it should be same as the width of tablix, that means we require the bars of the Bar-chart should be aligned with the columns of the Tablix as each bar of chart depicts data in each column of Tablix.
We can manually change the width of chart, but it doesn't always gets aligned with the width of Tablix.
What we have tried which didn't worked
Placing the chart inside 1st row of Tablix. This didn't aligned it properly.
We have read that we can use DynamicWidth and DynamicHeight property of chart, but we don't know how to use it.
Anyone knows how do we align chart with dynamic width Tablix?
The number of columns is dynamic, but you know the width of each column as all the dynamic columns will be the same width. You also know the number of rows in your Dataset, so you can use an expression in DynamicWidth to make the chart width equal to the sum of the column widths.
For example if your dynamic columns are 2.5cm width and you have a dataset called Dataset1 then the expression for DynamicWidth property of the chart would be:
=2.5*CountRows("DataSet1") & "cm"
If you have any static columns in the table then you'll also need to add the width of those to the expression.
Having said all that, you mention aligning the bars of the bar chart with each column. If you want a single bar associated with the value in each column then alternatively you can look at adding a column oriented Data Bar inside a cell in your dynamic column, instead of the separate chart.
