My question is similar to SSRS: Horizontal alignment on a group, however I still am unable to display the required result. I have a tabular report in which I need some columns to expand horizontally rather than vertically. It seems this is possible by using a column group. However as shown in my screenshots, I cannot seem to get the data represented by each group instances to line up. They seem to be offset by the height of the group. Is there any way to fix this?
I have tried manipulating the properties based on what was posted in the referenced link on SO
Here is a screenshot of my designer:
Here is the problematic output:
And lastly, here is my desired result.

I have created an SSRS table element where we have multiple grouped items like below generated in a Portrait mode.
Problem:
Whenever there are many items in a single group, some items in the group get spilled over to the next page. That is, a page break is applied.
Example,
If there are 3 groups in a table, and 2nd group contains 50 items, 30 are displayed on the first page, page breaks and then the remaining 20 are displayed on the second page and so on until all the remaining groups are displayed. This is a normal scenario which happens by default.
Expected Solution:
What is expected is, if the data region of any of the group spills over to the next page, then the whole group along with the group header needs to be shifted to the next page. The idea is to have the whole data region of the group stay together.
This is like a smart table (group split).
This is dynamic in nature in the sense, where if for a group with less rows, it fits and stays together on a single page, then page break doesn't happen.
I tried multiple options like below but none of them worked.
- Change the Keep Together flag of the Grouped rows and the Data Region to True.
- Add a page break after each row group using the Group properties.
Can someone please let me know if there is at all a way to achieve the smart page break like the one expected above?
You can't do that but there are two ways that you can do.
You can remove paging of SSRS report. to remove Paging by opening property window of report and set InteractiveSize's Height value to 0. it will remove paging of the report
You can repeat your Group header if there to another page as well so that user have idea about this data belongs to which group.
I have a report with a tablix on the right side and several textboxes arranged in rows and columns on the left. While previewing the report, the tablix gets expanded with the separate values in them and because of which some of the text boxes are also getting pushed down leaving blanks spaces and making the report look unformatted.
I have attached the report format. Please let me know if you have any solution to this issue.
You need to place your report items in rectangles to stop them interacting with each other. Put your items on the left all into the same one and the table on the right into it's own.
Have you tried setting the Can Grow attribute to False or did you need it to expand? If so I would actually increase your Tablix size to the max it can to not push the text boxes and then set the property to Can Grow to false.
I think I know why rectangles didn't work for you. I have a similar report I am trying to create with the same format. I had the same problem you mentioned where white space appeared above my report objects, and the objects on the left still did not appear in the correct places.
What I found was that you need to create the rectangle first and then add objects into it. It appears that the above problem occurs when you try to place a rectangle on top of your report objects.
I know this is 4 years late, but I thought this might hopefully save someone some time.
Go to Report Properties to select columns number from 1 to 2 to see information side by side instead of going to next page.
Report Properties
Why is it that a control that appears in the property list in a BIDS project is not represented in the corresponding .rdl file?
Let me step back a bit; I'm having a heck of a time trying to figure out how to add items to an existing report, either via the XML (.rdl viewed as code) or on the design surface. I can click on a rectangle on the design surface and see a column row above it:
And if I click on the "pipe"-separated segements on that column heading row, I see "MatrixColumn4", "MatrixColumn3", "MatrixColumn2", and "MatrixColumn1" in the designer; for example, here's MatrixColumn3:
However, only one of these columns appears at a time in the Property list - if I select MatrixColumn3 on the design surface, MatrixColumn1, MatrixColumn2, and MatrixColumn4 are not there. The same holds true for selecting any of the others - it turns up temporarily in the Properties list but "hides" all the others:
Stranger yet, when I search the .rdl file (viewed as XML) for "MatrixColumn1" (or "2" or "3" or "4") they do not exist there. In fact, the only reference to "MatrixColumn" in the entire file is this:
<Matrix Name="matrix1">
<MatrixColumns>
<MatrixColumn>
<Width>1.67609in</Width>
</MatrixColumn>
</MatrixColumns>
. . .
This seems exceedingly bizarre - shouldn't there be four sets of <MatrixColumn></MatrixColumn> there?
I want to add another column heading, with a Textbox-as-label and a Textbox below that to display dynamic content, but how can I do it without adding another column heading?, or at least making room for this new column?
I can increase the width of the matrix ("matrix1") by dragging it or by increasing its Size.Width value, but its existing contents expand with it, giving me no room to add TextBoxes inside of it.
Maybe I'm approaching SSRS from a completely wrong mental angle, as I don't see much of a connection between what the report generates and what I see on the design surface and in the XML.
To add another column to a matrix right click the column header and Select Insert column. Then choose either inside group (left or right), or outside group (left or right).
A column created inside the group will repeat for every item in the column group
A column created outside the group will only appear the once to the left or right of the grouped columns.
Are you sure you are referring to a matrix (dynamic columns and rows) and not a tablix (dynamic number of rows only)?
The process for tablixes is the same as for matrixes as described above, just without the inside/outside group option.
Either method described above will include a new column with a single text box to label the column with, and another text box underneath to put the detail in.
You can also do this process by dragging a field from your dataset in the Report Data panel to the appropriate location in your existing table.
Please let me know if this helps, or if I've misunderstood your question and you require a different solution.
I am creating an SSRS report in SSRS report builder 3.0. I currently have a table where the rows have a Data Bar inside of the cells. I cant figure out how to get the data label to center on the row. I tried selecting center under the Data Bar "Custom Attributes for "bar label style" and also under the Data Label under "position". Both seem to just center the label on the Data Bar itself not on the row.
I'm under the reputation limit or i would post an image of what I'm talking about.

I realise that this is an old post, but I stumbled across this forum searching for an answer to the same question. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Christopher, in that there is no way around the issue (that I know of).
However, I have used a very simple workaround that displays the data bar and values neatly, and thought it may be useful for others.
Quite simply, I have added another column to the right of the data bar, and have entered the same field. I have then removed the borders between the two textboxes, so that it displays the data bar to the left with the values aligned to the right.
While this does not provide an answer to the question as such, I hope that it may help others with the same problem in the future.
I suspect, unfortunately, that what you seek is not possible. The reason being that the label is a part of the bar. The label is defined for the entire series, and for each label, it is positioned relative to the bar itself. Relative to either the start or the end or the middle of the bar, but not relative to the chart's container.
What I imagine you wanting is to define something that is centered in the cell itself, which would have to be a direct component of the cell (e.g., placeholder, entered text). Unfortunately, when using a databar, you cannot add anything else into that cell.
In a RS report I have a matrix whose LayoutDirection property is set to RTL (because it's in Hebrew). I created a column group by dragging a field form the dataset field list and dropping it in the column header of the matrix. So the number of the columns is variable (which is OK).
When I view the report, the order of the columns is correct (from right to left). But the problem is that the matrix grows to the right and is always aligned to the left. The report is RTL, so I need the way around, i.e. I want the matrix to be aligned to the right and grow to the left.
I couldn't find a way to fix it. Could you please help me to solve this problem? Thanks.
The way to fix it is by setting the property called "RightToLeft" in the "ReportViewer" control to "Yes".
The report viewer is the control which host and present the RDL. by default the report viewer set to left to right and not to RTL.
I have used it at my company and it works fine!
