Need to count records in rdl with page breaks - reporting-services

I have a report that uses page breaks to show 1 record per page. I need to get a count of the records (outside of looking at the page number) and show it at the bottom of my table on each page. The page break is seperating my data groupings making the count always return 1.
The page break is on a group using the expression =Ceiling(Rownumber(Nothing)/1)
I am attempting to get the count of records by counting the occurences of the identifier field.
Is this even possible or am I just going about the solution wrong?

You can set a placeholder with the following expression =CountRows("YourDataSet")
This will count all of the rows that your data set returns.

SSRS Report only returns a single row of output instead of multiple pages of output

I am looking to build a report in SSRS that has 3 columns, similar to the data below.
The query behind the report returns a single row for every field in the 3 columns.
The report returns 20 rows for example, with 50 fields each pertaining to the elements outlined below.
However when I view the report I only see the first rows output. I need to create the elements in very particular positions and don't want to use tables and concatenate fields. I need a flat report 8.5 x 11 with elements in specific positions.
How do I fix the grouping so the report returns every row sent from the query.
There is no table, no groups. Only a single page with elements on it.
Please advise.

[SSRS][SharePoint] How to avoid display the elements when counting on a group by tablix?

New to SSRS, we asked me to create a simple report on SSRS, linked to a Sharepoint List.
The Report consists of a tablix with two columns: Client and the number of orders they passed.
The first column is only containing the sharepoint field "Client Name", and the report generate automatically a list of Clients based on the content of the Sharepoint List. The Column is also used as a group by to the Tablix, to group the results by Client Name.
My second column is an expression :
=Count(Fields!ID.Value, "Client")
The column is working nearly accordingly to my willing : the report displays the number of orders by client in the list, but... When a client has more than one order, the count is displayed the same number of times.
How can i prevent that? I tried a Running Value solution, or only count.. But if the results are not the right one, the same problem is occuring : The report tablix have as much rows than elements list.
Picture for helping, because my english is far for perfect.

You can set client column in group expression in Details section. Check below screen shot, It will help you.

SSRS 2014. Show RunningValue Before Page Break

So I have this ssrs 2014 report, with a table in the body that has a LineAmount column
Say my report has 300 lines, and each page fits about 50.
Is there any way I can insert the SUM RunningValue of LineAmount at the bottom of each page? Ideally this Running value will not be in the last page.
So I know the formula es
=RunningValue(LineAmount,SUM,MyDataSet)
But I can't figure out, how to make the Page Break a trigger to display this amount
In short, you will need to add a row group and add a simple SUM() there. The row gorup will also force the page break.
Assuming you currently only have a 'details' row group (if not then you will have to decide at what level the row group needs to be)
You need to do the following....
First determine how many rows you can fit on a page, for this exmaple we will use 50 although you may have to reduce that to take account of the addiotnal row.
Right-clck the 'details' row group and choose "Add Group => Parent Group".
In the Tablix group dialog box click the 'fx' button next to the Group By drop down.
Set the expression to
=Ceiling((RowNumber(Nothing)) / 50)
Check the "Add group foter" option then click "OK"
Right-Click the new group you created and choose "Group properties". Click the "Page Breaks" tab and check the "Between each instance of a group" option.
Click the sorting tab and delete the sort. If you find data is not sorting correctly then sort by the same sort as your "details" group.
Click OK
You will now have a new row in your tablix. In this new row, in the LineAmount column set the expression to
=SUM(Fields!LineAmount.Value)
This will give you the total for that group and as each group is now a p[age full of data the group total shoudl give you what you want.
This is not the solution I was looking for, but if following the row counting approach, I think there is an easier way.
Just add a new row to the affected tablix
Set the row visibility to something like:
=IF(RowNumber("Table_Lines_Group2") MOD 20 ,TRUE,FALSE)
Here 20 is the number of rows that can fit the page
"Table_Lines_Group2" is the DataSet group you are counting rows on
In this new row, add the running total in one of the columns, Expr like for example:
=RunningValue(Fields!LineAmt_SalesInvoiceLine.Value,SUM, Nothing)
So basically, each 20 rows, you will get a running total

Repeat entire Table data on multiple pages - SSRS

I currently building one report in which the same data has to be repeated on multiple pages.
- So, I have a field (Quantity) based on which I have to decide the times' data has to be displayed. For example, if the quantity is 5, the report has to print 5 pages with each page printing the same data. This is usually used when we print Shipment labels.
Is it possible to achive this in SSRS. Grouping would have solved my issue but since the value that I have is a scalar, I am not sure if it is possible.
Any inputs/Suggestions.
You can repeat contents on multiple pages by placing it all inside a grouped cell. See my answer here for more detailed instructions on that. For this particular case, you would want to have a column in your dataset that has the desired quantity.
One way to do this would be to cross join your query with a subquery that has your desired quantity. Then you can group by the new column and get the same data within every instance of it.

Report Builder (Digital Metaphors) add empty rows in details band until the end of page

I am using ReportBuilder 10 in Delphi 2006 with an Access 2000 database. I am trying to create a report using a filtered query.
Telerik Report : Starch line in Detail band or Add Empty rows
Repeat a vertical line on every page in Report Builder / SSRS
Similar to the questions above, I am trying to add empty rows (or records) in the ReportBuilder's details band after the filtered query records. Until it fills the page. My details band is like an excel table and it can take 25 rows per page. If I have 30 records, the first page is good. But the second page will have 5 records. Then, a huge gap will appear between the details and footer bands. That looks bad.
I tried to search for this, but nothing comes up. Only the second link above. But no solution I can use was posted.
I hope I properly explained my problem to you guys. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know ReportBuilder well enough to give specifics, but I suggest
Adding 25 blank rows to the report's query result. You should be able to do this using a series of UNION commands. Make sure any sorting actions place these at the end of the results.
Create a boolean variable isBlankLine that is updated for each line of the details as it is being evaluated for layout. This variable simply is set to true if the record is a blank line (one of the lines added in step 1.)
Create another boolean variable isReportEnd that is evaluated on the page footer. This is set to true if isBlankLine is true, otherwise it is set to false.
Finally, for each detail line, suppress the line if isReportEnd is true.
This will allow the page to fill in with blank lines and suppress any additional pages. The only catch I can think of is that if the report ends with exactly 25 records, such that the first line of the next page will be a blank line, then your last page will be blank.
