I'm trying to recreate a report created from Crystal Reports to SSRS.
The report has the company name and logo on top, a chart below and a table that can span multiple pages. If the table for a company takes more than one page to display, the comapny name and logo is displayed for every page.
I was somehow able to do this, except for the repeating name and logo.
I need it to look like this:
Add you company and logo information in the top line but INSIDE the group (assuming company is the grouping here). Then click on the little down arrow to the right of the "Column Groups" window (bottom right) and select Advanced Mode
It should show up some Static elements under the Row Groups windows.
Select one at a time and then click on the properties window.. then select RepeatonNewPage = True
Do this for all the static group above the detailed group. You many need to set the KeepwithGroup property as well..
Now if the group goes over a page.. it should repeat the top section of your report for that company
I just worked around my issue. Added a row, placed the company name on that row and hid the entire row. In my header I added a textbox and used the expression ReportItems!CompanyName.Value.

I am creating a report on ssrs.
I have a rectangle with a textbox inside of it, that I want to hide on the first page. This is because I have another description of the item, with an image next to it, that only appears in the first page. Below this there is a tablix with details of the item, it can contain a variable number of rows.
The problem is I'm not able to hide the rectangle with the textbox in the first page only. I tried using global variables like PageNumber but you can't use it in the report body ( I tried many workarounds for this but none worked). I also can't just place the two rectangles I need to show on the report header because that only shows the first item (can't link it to dataset).
So what I'm asking is how to hide the rectangle? In the Image I linked the rectangle I want to hide on the first page is the grey one and the one that only shows in the first page is the pink one.
Thank you for you replies.
I am trying to create a unique report and I'm really struggling how I could do it. Here's an image to give an idea:
The report is has a parameter that I pass with a Client ID. I am able to pass multiple Client ID and I am hoping that this generate will display the correct data in a format that I hope to achieve.
let's say I enter ClientID 17,19:
on the first page of Client 17, I want to be able to see content in the red border, below it i will have a tablix and some more stuff. The tablix will have a lot of data and will go to the 2nd page. On the 2nd page, I only want to see the content in the green border.
For next client ID (19), I would again hope to see the content in the red border, and again, if the rest of the report goes to 2nd page, I would want to only see the content in green border.
Anyone have an idea?
I am able to create a report like this for just a single client, as I can make the PAGE HEADER not repeat on each page, and include the Organization: ABC COmpany and ClientName in the Tablix with the rest of the data.
But when it comes to doing multiple clients, I am struggling to make this work.
Put a table in your report that is grouped on your ClientID field. This will initially give you one table row per ClientID.
You can then insert a new row inside the group. This will give you two rows per ClientID.
In the top row, add everything in the red section from your question. You can do this either by adding a sub-table into the textbox that has rows and columns formatted to display the Client's address details, or you can add in a Rectangle to allow free form placement of other report items like text boxes.
In the row below this one, do the same again. Add in everything you would need to display your data as per your green section.
I have a simple customer history report that has the following elements:
Header that contains the customer name and customer ID pulled from 1 of 2 datasets
Rectangle that contains a list which provides some details order items like date ordered date shipped invoice number and such.
Sub report placed within the list area that contains table with order details.
This report functions fine if I call one customer at a time. I need to print multiple customers at a time so I have multiple values for my parameter. When I try to call more then one customer I get the following results:
The header prints with the first customer data and shows it on all pages. The list renders as designed but pulls all customers data so it appears there is just one customer.
What I need is a page break for each customer. When I new page starts I need the customer name to be shown on all of the pages that group will print. Placing the name at the top of the first page only does not work for my situation. I have tried placing pages breaks after the list. I have placed page breaks after the containing rectangle and I have created another rectangle and nested the original rectangle within this new parent with a page break on the new parent but none of these will work. I have also tried placing the customer info in the header but all I get is the information from the first record in the dataset.
This seems like a simple report but I just cannot seem to get the page break to fire when the customer ID changes.
In the properties of your List object, go to PageBreak, and set BreakLocation to "End".
Make sure Disabled is set to "False".
I was able to solve my problem by using the information at these 2 sites
Solved the problem of getting the page to break after the list
This allowed me to have a page break for each customer. It placed another row in the tablix that contained the group on field, which in my case was the name. I had to make a modification to hide this new row so I changed it's width to a very small space and set it property to hidden. I then placed a text box above my list to show the name there.
Solved name at top of every page in the group
How to Repeat Page Header on each Page.
Repeat on NewPage Property is not appearing in ssrs 2008 tablix memeber property
After a little experimentation, I figured out how to consistently get the table header to repeat on every page.
The setting of the RepeatColumnHeaders property on the tablix seems to have no effect on this behavior. Instead, we have to set it on a static member of the row groups.
To see the static members of the row groups, click on the small drop down arrow on the far right of the row groups/columns groups header. Then select Advanced Mode.
With the static members of the row group shown, select the first one in the list. The top left cell of the tablix should be selected in the designer.
Now open the property pane and find the property RepeatOnNewPage and set it to True.
Then find the property KeepWithGroup and make sure it's set to After. If it's not, set it to After.
Now your table header will repeat on every page.
Depending on how you created your new report, the Tablix xml may or may not have attached the correct properties to the "Header" row of the tablix.
Here is another thread on SQL Server Central with the fix:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic593245-1063-1.aspx
Here is the important bit:
for SSRS 2008,
If a report with a table is created using the wizard feature (In Solution Explorer, right click on >Reports --> Add New Report) Table Headers will repeat on every page.
Instead if a report is created without using the wizard (In Solution Explorer, right click on Reports --> Add --> New Item) Table Headers will not repeat on every page. Setting Repeat Header (Rows/Columns) on each Page for the Tablix will not help either.
If you have already built the report and cannot rebuild using the steps above and if and only if you are comfortable altering the xml behind the rdl, do the following. (Save a Backup rdl first)
View Code.
Look for TablixRowHierarchy
Below that there will be a TablixMember that corresponds to the header row.
to that header and any other header rows ( Tablix Member) add the three element properties.
<TablixRowHierarchy>
<TablixMembers>
<TablixMember>
<KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
<RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
<KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether>
</TablixMember>
...
You should see the header rows repeating.
I tried this in my own Report and found it fixed the problem.
You could also turn on "Advanced Mode" in the Row/Column Groups window and then modify each Static Row entries "RepeatOnNewPage" setting. You'll probably have to set "KeepWithGroup" to "After" as well.
This works well if you utilize a subreport as your header.
You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination). To repeat page headers on each page between groups, make the headers of the tablix part of the group and under the General tab of the Tablix Properties window check Column Headers -> Repeat header rows on each page. You can also do this from the general properties window of the Tablix by using the RepeatcolumnHeaders = True.
Please note my comments are limited to developing SSRS 2008 reports in BIDS. I do not know if this functionality exists in Report Builder.
here the steps you can follow. this resolved the issue(column header on each page):
1) in design mode of rdl file, at bottom you will find "Row Groups" and "Column Groups" (left and right, respectively). Beside Column Groups you will find one arrow button.(this arrow button is right side of column groups protion). click on this arrow button.
2) Check the "Advanced Mode"
3) RowGroups section you will find "(static)" and "(Details)". click on static and press F4(to check it's properties.)
4) provide "Keep With Group" as "After"
5)Provide "Repeat On New Page" as "True"
6) Go back to table, Right click on row header, Go to tablix properties.
7) check on "repeat Header Column on each page" and "repeat Header column on each Rows"
Hope this will help you.
I have an RDLC report with three tables and associated data sets. In my second table, I cannot get the two 'header' rows to repeat on each printed page. When viewed interactively, each table is on its own page and this isn't a problem. When I switch to print layout, e.g. my second table now spans two pages, and the second page gets no header rows.
Am I missing a setting or something?
ADDED: I do have the 'Repeat Header columns on each page' checked.

That should help you out for getting them to repeat. (some of the time)
I still have an issue where I set the hidden value to an expression for the next group header that some of the time it won't render my group header on the next page. Very annoying. If someone knows of a fix for this please let me know.
Copied from Microsoft Technet Article. Helped me:
To display a static tablix member (row or column) on multiple pages.
On the design surface, click the row or column handle of the tablix data region to select it. The Grouping pane displays the row and column groups.
On the right side of the Grouping pane, click the down arrow, and then click Advanced Mode. The Row Groups pane displays the hierarchical static and dynamic members for the row groups hierarchy and the Column groups pane shows a similar display for the column groups hierarchy.
Click the static member that corresponds to the static member (row or column) that you want to remain visible while scrolling. The Properties pane displays the Tablix Member properties.
In the Properties pane, set RepeatOnNewPage to True.
Repeat this for as many adjacent members as you want to repeat.
Have you ticked "Repeat header rows on each page" on the table properties?
(Right-click the table > properties)
