I have a rectangle and a tablix inside. Is it possible to expand the rectangle along with the tablix height? If yes, how? I would like the rectangle to grow its height with the tablix without the tablix going over the rectangle border.
Click on the tablix and look in properties. If the Parent shows anything other than the name of the rectangle, then drag the tablix out and back again until it does.

I have a report with multiple tables and one chart of type Stacked Column.
The thing I'm trying to achieve is to set background and border for some of the Stacked Columns in the chart based on some data column. Just to be clear, the border and the background i want to be not to the stacked column itself, but the background "rectangle" where the column is drawn.
I found options to set background of the column itself and border ... but that is not what I need.
Any suggestions?
I'm using SQL 2016 Reporting service
The background of a chart is controlled by the Chart Area properties. You should be able to select the Chart Area by clicking on white space within the chart's axis, and adjust it's BackgroundColor properties from there.
If you want to have varying colours on different parts of a single chart area, you can achieve this with StripLines. These can be set on the X and/or Y chart axis properties, depending on if you want horizontal or vertical variance.
How can I have fixed rectangle inside the report body for every page ? I am placing a tablix, after that a matrix inside that rectangle.
I have attached pictures of my ddl design view, pdf view and desired result layout.
So far, I have tried to use fixed tablix size by using sql insert empty row. But this way, I wasn't able to put my matrix inside it.
By simply using rectangle, since the rectangle is fixed sized and I am getting problem when my tablix has more data and it is pushing down the rectangle if I have some space below my tablix and matrix.
Any insight will be greatly appreciated.
In your Report Properties, set the ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace setting to true and make your Rectangle as large as it need to be on a page. In doing this, the tables will grow into the white space with each row and not push the bottom of the rectangle until the table is too large to fit.
Below image shows spacing issue while using sub report on main report.
Red rectangle - Tablix of Main Report.
Green rectangle - First Cell of Tablix on Main Report.
Blue rectangle - Second Cell of Tablix on Main Report.
Black rectangle - Sub Report Tablix
Can anyone please help me to solve this. I want to show the sub report as very next to first Textbox.
Without knowing what you've tried thus far, there are several issues:
Have you positioned them closely enough that the distance between the two items in the designer is set to between 0 and 5 pts?
If you have positioned them between 0 and 5 pts apart, then look for objects on the report where the top of the object is below the top of the subreport but above the top of the tablix. During rendering, objects cannot overlap, so if one object, even if it is seemingly unrelated to the tablix and subreport, were to expand vertically it would push down the tablix leaving the excess white space. It looks like the object in the upper-right-hand corner of your image may be doing this.
It doesn't look like this solution will work in this case, but to prevent one object from pushing other objects, you can group objects inside a rectangle. In that case, SSRS will move the Rectangle if needed, but will not disturb the spatial relationships of the contents of the rectangle.
If this doesn't help, you can tell me more about your specific situation via a comment and I'll do my best to help.
I'm working on SSRS Report.
How to make footer appear at the bottom of Report page, when there is no data to show in tablix?
Currently all reports footer is appearing immediate next to the Tablix Last Row. It should always appear at the bottom of every page whether data is present or not.
Please help me!
Put an empty Rectangle item to the right of your data tablix, with it's height as the minimum height you want the report body to take up. Even if the tablix has no data, the Rectangle will act as a minimum height.
In my screenshots the rectangle is blue and the footer is yellow to highlight what happens. You can make your rectangle whatever colour and width you want. From my testing in SSRS 2008 R2, this still works even if the rectangle has no colour and the report's ConsumeContainerWhitespace property is True.
If you're printing the report or exporting it to PDF etc., you shouldn't have to worry about this. The page size of the print/export will automatically put the footer at the very bottom of each page, regardless of the body contents.
I have a tablix with another tablix beneath it with 0 space between the bottom of the first tablix and the top of the second. When I change the Hidden property of the first tablix to true, it hides the tablix with empty space but doesn't move the second tablix up.
Is is possible to hide the first tablix and move the second tablix up?
Ah, just figured it out. Have to add both tablixes to the same rectangle. Then hiding the first tablix moves the second one up.
