I have a SSRS report which use a background image. I need data appears in a fixed position box in image. There are 2 boxes that need to insert table to.
I put data in a tablix with row group, tablix1 in box1, tablix2 in box2.
Data will be listed in row in box1. the more row added, the tablix2 will be push down and won't fit the box2's possition.
Any solution, please?

I need to insert a tablix at the bottom of a page and then "grow" upwards, depending on the number of rows returned. Looks like SSRS assumes you only want a tablix to grow downwards, with the location options being TOP and LEFT, instead of including a BOTTOM option.
Is it possible to create an Expression for the location? The only workaround I have thought of so far is to create some kind of blank object above the tablix whose size would change depending on the tablix result set, and "push" the tablix down.
I'm working on SSRS report which looks like this:
So what's happening is here I have 2 rows of detail in Yellow and in Red. The row with EXPR right under the RED line is the Totals.
In every case, i will need to have the YELLOW row of data, but there are times that I don't have data in RED Row but I still always need to display the TOTALS row (right under RED line)
I am able to successfully hide the textboxes in TextBox Properties --> visibility. I also set the same thing for Row Visibility (RED row)
The problem is -- if I have no data in RED row, all textboxes get hidden, but I still have a gap, and I'm hoping there is a way to get rid of it, so the EXPR below RED line moves up and is right below the YELLOW line.
Any ideas? Is this possible?
You should set the RED row visibility to hidden, not the visibility of each individual text box.
If visible, the row will take up space even when all contained controls are hidden.
If hidden, the row will not be drawn and the space reclaimed to the parent container.
I have made invoice bill using rdlc. Invoice bills contains items. I want fixed rectangle size so that my items in tablix will fit into rectangle..Currently space is generated below tablix so section below rectangle is growing below..how do i fix rectangle size so that tablix will perfectly fit into rectangle regardless of number of rows in tablix..
from the report properties, set CanGrow to False for both row and column
In the SSRS report, I've a tablix which has a single row and a single column (single cell). That row has a single rectangle that contains other rectangles containing other elements. The visiblity expression is set at the tablix level (both tablix visibility and row visibility), but not at the contained rectangles etc. The tablix has a visibility expression set as:
=Fields!ShipmentType.Value<>"Sales
The tablix row also has its row visibility set as:
=IsNothing(Fields!Calc_ShipToAddress.Value)
I've checked the values of these fields and per the values the tablix must be hidden which it is, however, it is still taking whitespace on the PDF.
There are three other tablixes; all three have just the tablix visiblity set, but not the row visibility. Interestingly, these tablixes don't take the whitespace when hidden.
I've searched online various solutions including various posts on SO too, but none has worked for me so far. I've even set the visibility of the column for that tablix, but still it takes the whitespace.
I'm putting this as an answer for any future searches in the hope that it might help someone with a similar situation.
In my case, the reason for the top tablix to be always visible as white space (although all the text in it was hidden) was the height of the top tablix. That tablix was overlapping the next tablix by a small notch and hence was visible as a white space on the report. I zoomed to 400% for something else and accidentally found this overlap.
Once I fixed tablix's height, the report functioned as expected and the tablix was hidden completely (no white space).
I'm trying to set the row height of the detail row to a specific value, like 0.5 in. If I click on the Tablix handle for the detail row; it selects the row but the Size property does not expand for the Height property or allow entry for something like 0.5 in. in the Height property.
Outside of dragging the control to guesstimate a height is there a way to enter a specific number for the row height?
The height of any row in a Tablix can be adjusted by changing the height of a single cell in the row. All cells in that row will then take on the height of the last changed cell, i.e. if you change the height of a cell in the first column to 0.5” and then change a cell in the second column of the same row to 0.125” the entire row height will change to 0.125”. To change the row Height property in Report Builder or BIDS: Select a single cell, scroll down in the Properties window to the section ‘Position’, expand the subsection ‘Size’ and then edit ‘Height’.
A special note on Tablix row heights when the report is rendered; by default a row will adjust to the height of its content. Typically content is text and if the row height cannot accommodate a second line of text for long strings then the row will grow taller than the set row Height to accommodate the text. If the effect is not desirable then you can change the CanGrow property to False. To change the CanGrow property for a row: Select the row handle at the left to select all cells in that row, scroll down in the Properties window to the section ‘Genera’l and change’ CanGrow’ to False. This is most useful when you have a blank row in a Tablix that is being used for line spacing; otherwise the row will automatically take on the height of the font size even though there is no text, e.g. an empty row with font size 18 will not remain the height of 0.0625” when the report is rendered.
The same concept for rows holds true for columns when a cell’s Width is adjusted, except they cannot grow or shrink like the height can when the report is rendered. Also note that when cells are merged with the adjacent cells that typically the column that makes up the far right of the section will increase to the right when the merged cell’s width is increased. Therefore it is typically best to split the cells when adjusting column widths to avoid this and avoid columns that cannot be decreased in width.
To add to this, in Visual Studio 2010, click on a given cell in the tablix. Open the control Properties pane (ie View | Other Windows | Property Window ). Go to the Position | Size property. Set the cell to the desired height or width. As described by PerPlexSystem, this will affect the rest of the cells height or width in the row or column, respectively.
