I have a form output I am creating for a SSRS report. It looks the same as the form webpage but just has the answers inserted dynamically according to the user. The report is not a table listing but is just a list of questions and multiple choice checkboxes listed under each question in the report.
I need to insert a page break after questions 3, 6 and 9.
A screenshot of your current design would have helped a lot but assuming it's very simple you can just add a thin rectangle between questions 3 & 4. Right-click the rectangle and show it's properties, then set the pagebreak property to whatever you want. Copy and paste the rectangle between questions 6 & 7 and 7 & 8.

I may have an interesting conundrum and would appreciate your guidance.
So as you can see in my report image, I am creating a report that has multiple tabs (See 1). Each tab in area denoted by 1, is linked to a grouping rectangle denoted by 2 and 3.
Each rectangle may have 1 to 5 datasets and when we click the corresponding button up top, it navigates to the respect page by the rectangle definition, essentially I did this:
For Rectange,
Visibility expression: iff(parameter!.Tab=X, False, True) **Replace X with the Tab name up there)
For button, I assigned the tab value as the corresponding number.
When viewing the report in the standard view on a webpage, everything works as expected. By when I export the same report to excel, I get one tab, with all the data in one page.
So I attempted to follow the design instructions as described here:
How to get named excel sheets while exporting from SSRS
and here:

but I don't get the same results. I get one page with all the results at the same time.
What I asking for help with is the following:
When exporting the report to excel, can we:
Assign a rectangle to its own excel tab
Name the respective excel tab
I would sincerely appreciate your help with this.
I have a report is ssrs, it consist of a main report which has a header containing the page number and 2 sub reports (report page 1 and report page 2) within a tablix. Report page one comes first, then report page 2 displays on the next page after the end of report page 1. The subreports can be anywhere from 1-3 pages. The page numbering is reset between each set of report page 1 and 2 (so if page 1 is 3 pages and page 2 is 2 pages, it goes from page 1-5, then resets). These are called for each record (with grouping) from the main reports' query. The report is around 1000 pages total. It renders perfectly on screen, but when I try to export to PDF, it will sometimes (like 1 time in the 1000 pages) display part of report page 2 on a page (as expected, the page number matches with it), then it will start printing report page 1 of the next group on the same page.
Here is the layout of the main report:
Here is the document outline for better understanding:
And here is the page that is wrong...
This is what it should look like (the last page of sub-report page 2 even has just the total record like the broken one!
I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried (i think) every combination of page breaks on the rectangles and groups, I have tried making a tablix with 2 rows using the same group and again tried every combination of page breaks. I have tried changing the number of records on a page. I have tried changing the consume whitespace option on both sub and main reports. I have tried adding both calculated and random amounts of white space. I have recreated the report from scratch a couple times. I'm sure there's more, but it would be like going through a full feature list of SSRS... Basically, I tried everything I could think of, then everything suggested in the links on the first page of about 10 different google searches. I just have no idea what is going on with this, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more info, screenshots, or whatever and I will try to provide. It may be highly "redacted", but I will provide anything I can.
Thanks, Kevin
Try check the setting "Between each instance of a group" in group properties of tablix.
Try checking your XML for empty TablixRows (which will not show up in the Document Outline). I found with my report that empty tablix rows screw up page breaks in subsequent rows / sub reports when exported to PDF. Where possible hide the TablixRows or insert and empty text box.
This appears to be a bug with SSRS when editing the XML by hand. The Visual Studio GUI seems to not let you delete the last element in a row - perhaps this is a work around. An error or schema validation message would have been nice for us hand coders!
Hope this helps.
I need to float a list (if anyone is familiar with HTML / CSS they will understand). I'll try to elaborate.
I am using a report to create labels to specific dimensions. I need an 8 x 2 list.
I've created my list but the list does not appear on the left and right hand side of the page, it simply renders 8 lists down the left of the page and goes onto the next page.
This can be achieved within Access 2010, you change the page layout to have two columns, this is what I need.
I have created an image to try and explain what I mean.
Using HTML/CSS in reporting services is a little more difficult than you might expect. Based on what you are trying to do, I'd recommend a simpler method using Report Builder's built in tools.
Put two tablixes next to each other horizontally (Lists might work the best, since the labels appear to be the same size) and link them to the same dataset. Then under Row Groups view the Group Properties and set the Visibility expression of the left tablix to only show odd row numbers: =IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, True, False). Use the same expression for Visibility on the right tablix but switch true and false around to only show even rows.
I was wondering if there was a way to create a directory listing report in ssrs and if so, how would i go about creating it.
I'm mostly familiar with creating tabular and some somewhat complex reports, but nothing like this; so any help would be extremely useful.
Here's a sample of how the report might look.
Thanks!
Addendum: The content on each page needs to be grouped by Department & Sub-Department.
I made a mistake on the sample report; where it says Department Subtitle it should say sub-department.
Here's one way I've seen it done.
For a 3 column look, create 3 tables/list with the same dataset and set visibility for details group to:
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=1,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table1
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=2,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table2
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=0,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table3
I think your problem is an addition to this question here.
I did a simple test that imitates your situation. Here is how to do it:
Set the report to 3 columns via Report properties. Adjusted the width of each column so that they fit in 1 page of paper.
Add a List control to the first column. Put Text Box controls inside with the required data fields. The List control will repeat for each Listing record.
Create groups for Department and Sub-Department via Row Groups pane. Rearrange the groups so that they will appear above the List control.
Right-click on Department group (or Sub-Department group) and add Page Breaks.

This is not a developer question, it's a novice question from someone that has used Access as a front-end for a SQL database for years with no problems. I've now created a standalone Access database that I've created for various staff to fill out different pages of a three page form. The form has control tabs for pages 1, 2 and 3. Each page has the social security (SS) number of an individual on it. Pages 2 and 3 are just memo fields except for the SS number. I have created 4 records for individuals. When I try to print or do a print preview from the form, it shows just the first page for each individual. If I save it as a report, it does the same thing.
How can I get three pages to print for each individual, or just print three pages on one individual?
Personally, I would separate your reports from your user interface. That way your report can be exactly what you need rather than making a duel purpose form.
If you don't want to use the report wizards to build a custom report, then how about removing the tab control and building a long (vertical) form with all the fields in it in three sections, with a vertical scrollbar. Then the print should work.
