I don't see repeater kind of insert-able object where I can create directory kind of report in SSRS. Any input on how to achieve this kind of reporting in SSRS?
Similar to a telephone directory like shown in figure
I've taken this sample data from the Adventure works sample database customer table.
I simply added a table and aded placeholders in the first cell for each of the customer elements I wants to display and formatted them as required.
Then in the report properties, I set the columns to 3.
The design looks like this...
Note that multi column layouts only work with certain renderers such as PDF so if I view it on screen I get this
If I export the report to a PDF I get this.
There are ways to get round doing it on screen to but that's more complicated. Let me know if you need to do this on screen too.

When export excel in ssrs, it is showing the exact report downloaded in excel. But I need some customisation to add additional rows and text above the downloaded excel, not in original report. Please guide me.
Not sure this is feasible or not.
This site having some kind of code, but not sure it can work for my need or not. https://reportsyouneed.com/export-excel-without-making-mess/
Add all the elements you need to your report, the hide the ones you only want showing in Excel by setting the hidden property based on the render format.
So you can do things like
=Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive
If the above was used as the Hidden property expression it would hide an the item if you were viewing in an interactive session.
You can also do this...
=NOT(Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "Excel")
This would show and element only if the report was rendered as Excel.
I am building a label report that requires the user to input a Bulk Order Number that will generate multiple labels. When viewed in preview mode and on the report server, images on the report for postage and company logo appear on every instance of a label (report page).
However when exported to PDF, these images only render on the first label (page)
I considered this may not be an issue, as the user could print from the report server when accessing the report. This isn't the case, as when trying to print, report server creates a PDF for you to print from. There are no other options regarding printing other than page size and orientation, a PDF seems to be the only method from which you can print from.
The images I use have the visibility controlled by parameters, so you can select 1st or 2nd class postage, and choose to have the logo visible.
Each image also has the RepeatWith property set to the Tablix that contains order and address details.
When exported to word, the labels all appear as desired with postage and/or logo images on each instance. This is a step I would like to avoid, as it would be much nicer to have the user print directly from the report server, even if this still requires a printer friendly PDF to be created.
I have attached am image to show PDF output.
Any ideas how I can get these images to render on each label (page)?
EDIT
Image of design page
Based on the design view image you posted, it looks like the only thing repeating is your tablix containing the address information. The SSRS RepeatWith property doesn't seem to work well with .pdf exports so the workaround for this would be to drop everything into a single cell on a list object and grouping using the Order_No to repeat everything. This should remove the need to mess with RepeatWith and give you the desired results.
We have several RDL's that that are designed using textbox's to display data as a document to be converted to PDF or printed directly. There is no table involved in the RDL's. I am trying to get one of the RDL's to display multiple documents by passing a dataset of multiple DocumentId but it only appears to display the first document. I figure there must be a setting to force a page break on the actual dataset or page itself but I have not found one yet. Does anyone know of such a feature of SSRS 2008?
I would recommend putting the textbox in lists and have the list group on Documentid. This should fix your issue. If you want it to be shown on a separate page you should be able to select page break between groups.
I would like to know how to organize my report to be able to display few charts coming from different datasets depending on a specific field for the page.
So I would like to have 5 pages containing each 3 charts from different datasets based on the same parameter.
It is something like the wizzard generates but I am not able to add a chart coming from other datasets and if I create another area with the parameter as header, it is splitted in 5*3 pages.
Any suggestion is welcome, thanks in advance.
Try inserting 5 Rectangle items into your report and add a page break after each one. You can then insert Charts into the Rectangle items, making sure they are sized appropriately. Also make sure the SSRS parameter points to the parameter used in the charts' Datasets.
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.
Preview (Should get a result pretty close to what you want)
