I have an SSRS report with many columns that needs to span multiple lines on the detail section to all appear on pdf report in landscape view.
Is there a way to adjust the column widths of each of the lines independently of one another?
Thanks

I have designed a SSRS report as shown below. If I preview the report without adjusting the column width I can see the data. But If I expand the column width of first column, few columns data is not showing. Need your input. Thanks
I am trying to build a "quadrant" report, where there are four aligned, equal-sized tablixes (tablices?) on a page. Here's the issue I'm running into on the two quadrants that should be on the left side of the page:
The "top" tablix starts with a basic table, with the caveat that columns that sum to 0 are hidden. Below the table is a row with two pie charts, and each pie chart should be the size of roughly 2-4 of the table columns.
The "bottom" tablix has two side-by-side basic tables, each followed by side-by-side bar charts.
The problem is that they want the two tablixes to exactly align vertically. That is, they want both the left and right edges of the two tablixes perfectly aligned. But with the top tablix, columns sometimes show and sometimes don't, and when the pie charts span multiple columns including one or more that are hidden, SSRS likes to force one column to expand to the full width of the chart which is not what I want. This happens even if I have the top tablix having exactly 2N columns, where N is the number of actual data columns, and then any one of the data columns that is hidden has a "mirror universe" blank column that shows to try to fix the number of columns.
I am too new to post pictures, but I believe I'm able to link to a mock-up I made:
Link to mock-up of report
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 need to shrink dynamically height of header on ssrs
I have found answer on: How to dynamically increase the page Header height in SSRS 2008 , but still I have problems as follows.
I have SSRS with several text boxes, (10 lines), and I want to show only one line for page 2 and after, and for page 1 - all of the lines.
I cannot shrink the size, because minimum size of header by default is the maximum element bottom position.
Can I control the size of height of the header dynamically?
Thanks :)
Page header and footers can not be dynamically sized. This allows support for more output devices but limits its use for many situations. A common work around is to use a Parent group above all others in your dataset that has a sql command that returns 1 row such as SELECT OneRow=1. You could place your header logic in this print once groups header and optionally show or hide the header based on first page last page etc.
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.
