I have followed this documentation http://www.bscichicago.com/documents/CreatingAvery5160MailingLabelsSSRS.pdf
to print my labels but I did not see where they Spreading Data across 2 columns. PDF rendering is just printing in first column and at the end of the page it will now begin the second column. I wish to print in one column then next column before going to the second row in PDF rendering. Thanks
Create two identical tables side by side that both point to your data set. On the Detail row of the first table, for the Visibility-Hidden property use the following formula:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2) = 0, True, False)
On the Detail row of the second table, for the Visibility-Hidden property use the formula:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2) = 1, True, False)
This means the first table will print every odd row and the second table will print every even row, effectively giving you multiple column output but left-to-right first, then down the page, rather than down the page first before moving to the next column like SSRS multi-column reports do.

I have a RDLC report which is having a Table with different rows having different groups. Also the Column will be displayed dynamically in runtime based on the fields fetched from the Database. How to get the Report Page Header displayed for this Matrix in every page?
So far I have performed below steps:
1) Create table and delete all but 1 column.
2) Add another row above header and delete details row.
3) add matrix in 2nd row and title in the first row.
4) Center aligned the title and set RepeatOnNewPage property to true
5) Set KeepWithGroup property to After and FixData to true
6) Also set Repeat header rows on each page to true
But the header is not displaying in the Next Page, instead it is taking as a single page and displays at the right end top corner. It is not taking as 2 pages to display seperately.
I am trying to create a header row for a matrix in my SSRS report. Currently my matrix is configured as the following:
If I right+click to add a new row, it will insert a row above but I cannot merge the entire row of cells to form a single row, the grouping columns stay separate:
My work-around has been to add a text box above the matrix, but will not keep the the rows together in a page break:
Is it possible to add the header row? And if so, what would be a good way to accomplish this task?
I had the same issue! I wish they would let you merge across the row header; or add a new region of matrix called "title" .
My tablix also had dynamic columns, so I needed the width of the box on the top to expand and collapse with the rest of the table.
There are two ways you can handle it (that I know of)
1. Create a "parent" list object with two rows and insert the table in the second row
2. Put all the columns to the right of the row header
To solve my problem I tried both. First, I added the list with one column and two rows and I copied the entire table into the second row. The first row of the outer list is now centered and spans the entire table. It was messy because I had dynamic columns with a toggle for visibility. The outer list had to have columns that lined up with the visibility set to the same toggle. It was a messy work around because of that.
I decided to try the second method above and insert new columns on the other side of the row header.
The challenge is that row header group labels will repeat for each row... in your example RoleID would repeat down each detail row. I created an expression to only show when it was the first row of the group.
=iif(RowNumber("roleid_group") = 1,
max(Fields!roleID.Value,"roleid_group"),
"")
I used an expression to only show the border when it was the last row in the group:
=iif(RowNumber("roleid_group") = countrows("roleid_group"),"Solid","None")
This gives the illusion of a grouped row. Don't delete the row header columns (column 1 and 2) until you get it working because its hard to add them back.
Careful: This method though doesn't work well if the text of the row title needs to wrap. (The first row of the group will be wider --row height is set to can grow.)
If there is another way I would love to know. These are both somewhat tricky but get the job done.
How would I set a maximum lines to display in a BO 4 report? On each page, I'd like to show 20 account numbers in column 1 with item counts in the next columns. There are some good discussions on limiting the rows retrieved in a query (e.g., Limit number of result or rows returned in BO using WebI). Some suggestions include using sections with RowIndex()/20 to limit the lines to 20, so I tried adding a variable =Floor(RowIndex()/20). However, the lines in my report contain aggregated variables, and the row index counts all records retrieved. Thoughts?
One option:
Add a column on the far left of the block. Use the following formula:
=Floor(RunningCount([Account Number])/10)
(assuming, of course, that your dimension is named [Account Number])
Create a break on this column. (Report Element -> Table Layout -> Break -> Add Break). Go back to the same menu and click Manage Breaks. Click the "Start on a new page" checkbox.
This will create a block with a maximum of 20 rows per page. Unfortunately, there's no direct way to hide a column in WebI, so you'd be stuck with this ugly column. What you can do, however, is remove all borders, change the font to white-on-white, and reduce its width as much as possible.
I need to report "Employee Name" And "Age", but I do not need to continue the names to the next page; I need to continue it to the next column.
It should look like this :
_________________________________________________
| Employee Name | Age | Employee Name | Age |
|_______________|_____|_______________|_________|
Can anyone send an report that manages this? I am using Microsoft report service.
You want a multi-column report by the sound of it.
On the Layout tab, right-click somewhere where there aren't any report objects and choose Properties. Click on the Layout tab and set the number of columns to how many columns you want on the page - in your example it would be 2. This will give you a column to lay out report objects on the left and a greyed-out column on the right that will be where your column on the left will repeat.
However, there are a couple of tricks here:
Your columns must fit on the page or you won't get any columns. For example, if your Layout settings are at their default of 1cm spacing and 2.5cm left and right margins, then your column must be less than 7.5cm on an A4 (21cm wide) page. Otherwise you will only get one column as two columns don't fit on the page.
The report renderer in your designer doesn't support multiple columns so you will only see one column in the designer. The HTML renderer also doesn't support multiple columns and you will only see one column for the report when deployed to the reporting services server and displayed as a web page. You need to output your report to a renderer that supports multiple columns, such as PDF or a printer, in order to actually see columns in a multi-column report.
Update - faking multi-column report using tables
Failing that, to get it to display the way you want independent of renderer is to use a hack with two tables, like you tried, but the trick is to hide the rows in an alternating manner.
To implement this hack, create two tables side by side that both point to your data set. On the Detail row of the first table, for the Visibility-Hidden property use the following formula:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2) = 0, True, False)
On the Detail row of the second table, for the Visibility-Hidden property use the opposite formula:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2) = 1, True, False)
This means the first table will print every odd row and the second table will print every even row, effectively giving you multiple column output.
For a generic solution for visibility of the tables when wanting more than two columns, use the formula:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod TOTALCOLUMNS) = THISCOLUMN, True, False)
where:
TOTALCOLUMNS is the total number of columns
THISCOLUMN is the column number this table represents, zero-based (i.e. first column is 0, second is 1, etc)
For example, the table for the third column in a five column output has the Visibility-Hidden property set to:
=iif((RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 5) = 2, True, False)
Note that this is slightly different output than true multiple column as it reads left-to-right rather than down the page before wrapping to the right hand column as true multi-column does. However, it has the advantage of rendering properly in every renderer.
You could adapt this method to do true multi-column by working out how many rows you can fit on the page from the InteractiveSize-Height property and displaying that many columns in the left table then the rest in the right table and so on throughout the report but this might be fragile depending on renderer and changing page layout settings like margins. The method above is simple and effective.
I am trying to do EmployeeName and EmployeeTitle. I tried to implement Chris' solution above. I would get the expected values in each table but they would be duplicated.
I did a little bit more research and I ended up with the following for row visibility.
For Even rows I used:
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!jobtitle.Value, CountDistinct, "EmployeesDataSet") Mod 2 = 0, True, False)
For Even odd rowsI used:
=iif(RunningValue(Fields!jobtitle.Value, CountDistinct, "EmployeesDataSet") Mod 2 = 1, True, False)
The rowgroup was on jobtitle.

I have a problem with page breaks in an SSRS report, and I'm by no means an expert. This is in the XML mark up to provide a page break:
<TableGroups>
<TableGroup>
<Grouping Name="AdjustmentPageBreakGroup">
<PageBreakAtEnd>true</PageBreakAtEnd>
<GroupExpressions>
<GroupExpression>=CInt(Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/28))</GroupExpression>
</GroupExpressions>
</Grouping>
</TableGroup>
</TableGroups>
The page break appears on different lines on the print and screen version of the report:
Print:
Screen:
As you can see, the print version has a break in the middle of the "Transfer IN" cell, with "Value" on the next page after the break. From what I can tell from the XML, it's got a hardcoded page break at row 28, and if I change this number it fixes the print version and breaks the screen version. Is there any way to specify this line break differently for print and screen?
The solution to this issue is the rectangle component. Based on your image, I am assuming that your report has a table that is grouped on location. For each location you are reporting on Number and Value. Column 1 has the location name, Column 2 is the label and Column 3 is the field values.
Create a new table (TABLE A). Set the table to group on Location. In the group footer, add a rectangle (RECTANGLE). Set the Keep Contents Together property of the rectangle to TRUE.
Add a table to the area of the rectangle (TABLE B). Do not add a grouping to TABLE B. Add to the details row of this table Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 formatted as it is in the existing report.
When the report renders, each group will be kept together and the rectangle will force page breaks between the groupings.
The solution above works for SSRS 2008. The solution below is similar and works for SSRS 2005.
Create a new table (TABLE A). Set the table to group on Location. In the group header or footer add a table (TABLE B). Do not add a grouping to TABLE B. Add to the details row of this table Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 formatted as it is in the existing report. On the TABLE B use the Fir table on one page if possible option.
You can solve this problem by using few small steps:
1-Go to report properties and set paper size to custom. The width and length is to be as such, that it will show all column :
2- Then set the Body Property like same :
Now View the report and download in any PDF/Any format it will not break:
Make sure the interactive size and the page size are the same. You also have to set the margins so that the print version prints properly.
