I have a main report calling three subreports. The subreports are being grouped together by the CourseID field. Page 1 shows course 1 for the first two reports. The third subpreport is for comments. If course 1 has comments, they will show up on page 2. If there were no comments, page 2 will be first two subreports for course 2.
The problem is that a blank page is showing up on page 2 when there are no comments for the course.
I have a tried grouping the three subreports in two different ways, as shown in the attached image. The attempt 1 is the one displaying the issue I just described. Attempt 2 does not insert a blank page, but it does not page break on the comments subreport either. It adds the comments to the bottom of the 2nd report.
I removed the page break between each group instance in the group properties and tablix properties of the 3rd report because it was not making a difference whether or not I had them anyway.
I also have ConsumeWhitespaceContainer enabled on the main report properties. It adds several more empty pages if set to false.
The width margins on all four reports are calculated with the tablix width figured in. The subreport widths in the main report are wider than the actual subreport width as well. subreport groupings in the main report
Is there a setting I am missing in the design view?

I have a main report which contains a subreport only, Sub report is showing some records,
Problem is i am taking print on both side of pages. so i want a page break if subreport is having odd number of pages.
In Reporting Services, page break can only be added between tablix, rectangles and groups within tablix. It's not support to have the page break occurs based on number of records and the current page number.
I've a SSRS page which has header, two charts with different datasets and a subreport below charts.
When I run the page and drill down (I click on one of the bars of chart, it calls itself) and data populates in subreport which spans multiple pages.
My problem is I want to repeat those charts on each page. I've searched and tried a lot However nothing worked forme.
How can I repeat charts in multiple pages of subreport? Please note that I've got charts with different data sets and that subreport is used at multiple places.
Thanks for the reply mike.
I believe it can not be achieved using subreports. hence, i embedded that subreport tablix into report and did as suggested by mike(charts went into header row).
Since tablix accepts only single dataset, i created a big dataset that has all the fields for two charts and data and applied required settings to get the job done.
It worked for me(at least to get the job done.).
I had a report that after each record (customer), I put a page break so that each record got its own numbers in one page. I also wanted to add a graph specific to only that customer. So i added the graphs into a table. In the table where my graphs were place, I added a parent group group - the same group as my data and I checked that the table also had the page break on the same group. This separated each record into a page each and also added the graphs to its corresponding record.
I would try to wrap the two charts and subreport inside a tablix. The dataset for the tablix would be one that returns a single row.
The two charts would go into the header row(s). The subreport would go in the Detail row.
Row and Column sizes need to be expanded to fit the chart and subreport sizes. There may be only one or two Columns depending on your layout.
Then I would use the dreaded "Advanced Mode" technique to get the header row(s) to repeat on each page, e.g.
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2008/10/13/repeat-header-and-visible-fixed-header-table.aspx
I'm writting a SSRS 2008 report using 1 tablix and 2 Row groups, I've flagged the page break options for the parent group and Rows headers options in the tablix properties.
The page break is working fine, but I can't show the header en each page. I was tried to many ways with unsucessfully result.
If you want a page header to appear on every page, there is an option to add page header sections in SSRS: on the design surface, right-click the report, point to Insert, and then click Header or Footer.
More information about page headers and footers in SSRS can be found here.
There's two sets of properties and both have to be set... one on the tablix itself (repeat on new page), then just above the group list there's a button on the right to go into advanced mode. That shows you some hidden (Static) groups, and once you select those they also have properties to repeat on new page that have to be set.
Reporting Services 2005
My layout is like this:
I have the mainreport which contains a table
This table has 3 groups it runs by, GrpLevel1, GrpLevel2, GrpLevel3
Sub-Reports are added to one of 3 groups and are executed passing that group key to the sub-report
So, a particular sub-report will run at GrpLevel1 and for every level2 it contains, the sub-reports under GrpLevel2 will run.
The problems I'm having are that the sub-reports want to jump to the next page leaving a gapping hole of white-space in the report.
If a sub-report contains a table with a bunch of data and it can not fit on 3/4s of a page (first page on report has report header on top 1/4), it will jump the whole thing to the next page leaving only a header, rather than printing what it can on the first page.
On the table I have "Keep Together" turned off.
I'm at a loss and about ready to set my cube on fire. Insight in to this would be greatly appreciated.
UPDATE ****************THIS HAS BEEN FIXED IN SSRS 2008 R2***********************
It has been fixed with (SQL Server) Reporting Services 2008 R2. You can now toggle the KeepTogether on Sub-Reports. Pagination looks a lot better.
Looks like there is no solution to this problem. The bug is aknowleged by microsoft, but its still not fixed in SSRS2008.
From the KB article (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938943)
This behavior occurs because the
Subreport control has an implicit
KeepTogether property. By design, the
KeepTogether property tries to keep
content of a subreport on one page.
Because of this behavior, the report
engine creates blank space on the main
report if the subreport does not fit
on the same page as the main report.
Then, the report engine creates the
subreport on a new page.
The work around that they list is essentially 'don't use subreports'
I am not sure about the earlier version of SSRS, but I faced this same issue in SSRS 2008.
The solution is to change the Subreport property in Code.
Go to the solution explorer, right click on your report and click on "View Code".
Search for your Subreport.
Inside subreport tag you'll find "<KeepTogether>", which would be set to "true", change it to "false"
This property is not avaiable from designer and has to be changed from the actual report xml code.
right click of subreport and chose format subreport, then uncheck keep object together
Another way I got around this was to place the subreport in the report header. Of course that is very dependent on the report content and elminates any of the usefulness of subsequent sections but it did solve my problem of having a huge chunk of whitespace on the first page.
It took me a week to solve this one! But I did find a solution and happy to share it with you.
I had the exact same problem. In my main report, there is a Table that has 3 groups and 2 different subreports in each group. And these subreports had matrices. I believe regardless of matrices, subreports being placed inside group/detail bands within a table caused alot of unnecessary blank pages to be printed before, in between and after the sections. It was a pain the neck and I was thinking of removing the subreports but then it defeats the whole purpose of the report.
So finally, what fixed it was instead of placing the subreport in DETAIL bands of the groups in the table, place them in the Footer of the groups. Now I know this may change/affect the format of the report and may not fit in with your report purposes. But this fixed the issue for me. Another way of getting around the blank page issue was leaving the subreports wherever they are (detail or group bands), and moving OTHER detail bands into one Footer band. Essentially what needs to be kept in mind, is to reduce the number of detail/group bands inside the table. Limit the groupings and have minimum number of subreports within a table if you can manage that.
Hope this helps someone out there.
For SSRS 2008
If your subreports are in any group, you should go to group properties and switch the keep together property for that group(s) to false. This worked for me.
I have few subreports in a sql main report(.rdl file) using VS/SSRS 2008.
The subreports start approximately on the middle of the page in the main report detail section. I have one group in main report, shows header information and pass one parameter - ReportID to each subreport.
I also have checked both:
Row Headers – “Repeat header rows on each page” and
Column Headers – “Repeat header columns on each page”
on General tab of Tablix properties of the main report.
If I have few detail lines in the subreport, so that all can be rendered on page one, everything is ok.
If I have more detail lines in the subreport so that it's not possible to print all on one page, the subreport renders from the fist page and moves on to page two, three and so on.
When I have more than one page of data in the subreport, it is also started on page one, and continues renders on second page and so on...
However, it doesn't show the main report's column/row headers on subsequent pages of the subreports?
I've noticed that when next item/ReportID starts in my main report group, it prints column header only on the first page but not any subsequent page and so on...
I also tried to check only ONE, either
Row Headers – “Repeat header rows on each page” OR
Column Headers – “Repeat header columns on each page”
on general tab of Tablix properties of the main report BUT didn’t work?
Any ideas how to print header info on each page when subreport has more than one page data?
Pagination is always fun in SSRS.
Have you looked at the page size/interactive of the subreport? This may stop the subreport paging, but I don't know if it's what you want.
An older article on pagination
And a newer one
Presently I am encountering the same problem. In a previous SSRS report we got it to work by putting our tablix inside a single-cell list item so that the headers were repeated. Now I am working on a different report, and when I try the same thing I'm getting this error:
[rsInvalidDetailDataGrouping] The tablix ‘tablixOpportunitySummary’ has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members.
I've searched extensively, but this is the only link which indicates an known problem in SSRS. At the time of this post it contained 4 workarounds:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/337720/katmai-reporting-services-2008-tablix-control-repeat-column-headers-does-not-work#
A little late, but I think this is what you are looking for:
You need to go to tablix properties > General and check the option Keep header visible while scrolling. Then go to column/row groups in the advanced mode, chose your static row and set the Fixed Data mode to True, Repeat on new page to True and Keep with group to After.
Here is probably the best reference: Here
