SSRS page break on large data - reporting-services

I have a table that get a data from dataset. The table is larger then a one page. When I export to PDF the table cut in the middle and without a borders.
I tried to use rectangle and it's not working for me. I tried to use in expression like this "=ROWNUMBER(Nothing)/50" and it's not working too.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

follow below steps :
1. create parent group on your tablix.
Once you click on Parent Group, it will open a Tablix Group window. In the Group By expression, enter =CEILING(RowNumber(Nothing)/25) where 25 is the number of records to be displayed per page.
you can go to the created group properties for more options to try out.

SSRS Exact copy of a table does not stay within the page

I am trying to set up a 3 part check where the header of the report is the check itself, and the next 2 sections are each a table with the detail data. One copy stays here while the other goes with the check as a stub. I want the data to be exactly the same and print on the same page. The problem I am having is that if I print 2 checks the second table does not appear on the first page but shows up on the second page with the second check (2 tables in the bottom of the second page). How do I get the second table to print on the page with the proper check? I have put both into a rectangle in the body but that has not helped.
I also need the second table to be in a specific location on the page so it can't be put into the first table since the number of detail rows may vary.
How do I share the report design when I can't upload files? It's also hard to get a 2 page pdf file into a single snapshot. The image I uploaded is the second page. The second table should be on the first page not the second page.
The other issue with this is that my page header is expecting to find a total of the fields in the table, so if I use 2 subreports and remove the tables it can't calculate the total.
I am still confused as to what to do. The ultimate goal is to have the check print like this (works fine if only printing one check):
Here is a snapshot of what my rdl looks like in report builder:
I want the exact same table repeated on the same page. I have tried putting them both in a rectangle but that didn't work. I have tried making the second table a subreport but that didn't work. I have tried making 2 subreports with each containing a table but that didn't work. The check part of it is in the page header and it uses the sum of the data from the table to get the total check amount.
I finally got it working! Here is what I did.
1 - Created a subreport that holds the copy of the first table
2 - Added 2 rows below the detail group and put it outside of the group
3 - Put the subreport on the second added row
4 - Made the first added row below the detail big enough to force the subreport to be on the page where I want it.

SSRS Stop group in tablix being split across printing pages

I have a tablix in SQL REPORTS (SSRS) that has many grouped items.
It fits roughly 3.5 groupped item per page when printnig, however I dont want the groups to be split up over the 2 pages, I want a pagebreak to happen whenever the group needs to be split.
I dont want to have it 1 group per page either, I know there is an option for that.
At the bottom of the report builder, you will see two boxes, Row Groups and Column Groups. Select the Column Groups drop down, click "Advanced Mode" and then in Row groups highlight "Details". In Properties under the "Other" section, select "True" for Keep Together. and save. This should work.
Note: I know this is old hope this helps people starting out though.
Modifying the property Other -> KeepTogether of the outermost row group desired to keep within a single page worked for me using Report Builder 3.
My KeepTogether values for each Row Group
Notice in my example, KeepTogether is false for table1_Group1. I don't want to keep my entire dataset together. Instead I want to keep only individual groupings of that dataset together.
In order to see the Properties panel, enable the Properties checkbox under the Show/Hide section of the View tab of the Ribbon.
My View settings
Probably the best place to start is the group-level KeepTogether property.
Indicates whether to keep all sections of the data region together on
one page.
I have just worked through 3 similar reports that were all suffering this issue.
It was only when I marked the group row AND the detail row to get the report to force a page break and keep the pages together.
Interestingly, I can then set the DETAIL BACK to false and the report still functions correctly. I have no explanation as to why, but this was repeatable.
I am using SQL Server 2016 Report Builder (the red one)
I tried all options about that. When I have a more difficult group, it sometimes happens, that the group will be split across pages. Even though setting "Keep Together" property to True.
My solution is:
don't use multiple rows
use one row with rectangle
to rectangle import TextBoxes and fill them with expression "=Fields!Column.Value"

SSRS 2005 Issue with blank space between mulitiple tables when hiding and showing tables based on report critieria

I have been unable to find any information on the web, or any SSRS documentation to help me with this issue, you have worked through this problem before, I would greatly appeciate the assistance. I have a report that has about 8 tables from top to bottom of the layout. Based on the type of data queried, some tables should be displayed while others should not. Using the visibility settings to hide the table via an expression, while it hides the table it also leave a big blank space area between the tables where it was positioned on the report instead of the other tables rolling together as I would have expected.
Move the table into a rectangle. That's it. Leave the Visibility expression on the table, and don't add it to the rectangle. The rectangle should "shrink up" when there is nothing to display inside of it.
As per your layout i found that you have hidden that table but still it contains the design space so it showing some blank space. Please follow the below steps to resolve this issue.
1. Select one row of your table and go to visibility properties and select show and hide based on expression.
2. Repeat step-1 for all the rows.
3. Run and see the report output with out blank space.

Creating a Directory Listing type Report in SSRS

I was wondering if there was a way to create a directory listing report in ssrs and if so, how would i go about creating it.
I'm mostly familiar with creating tabular and some somewhat complex reports, but nothing like this; so any help would be extremely useful.
Here's a sample of how the report might look.
Thanks!
Addendum: The content on each page needs to be grouped by Department & Sub-Department.
I made a mistake on the sample report; where it says Department Subtitle it should say sub-department.
Here's one way I've seen it done.
For a 3 column look, create 3 tables/list with the same dataset and set visibility for details group to:
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=1,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table1
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=2,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table2
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=0,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table3
I think your problem is an addition to this question here.
I did a simple test that imitates your situation. Here is how to do it:
Set the report to 3 columns via Report properties. Adjusted the width of each column so that they fit in 1 page of paper.
Add a List control to the first column. Put Text Box controls inside with the required data fields. The List control will repeat for each Listing record.
Create groups for Department and Sub-Department via Row Groups pane. Rearrange the groups so that they will appear above the List control.
Right-click on Department group (or Sub-Department group) and add Page Breaks.
Preview (Should get a result pretty close to what you want)

Report Services: Controlling page breaks inside a table

I'm using a table on my report to present the data. Since it was a lot of data and I wanted to print the report on a A4 page, I split each row into 3 different rows.
My problem is when the report goes to the second page, I want it to break before or after the 3 rows.
example:
name age
address
contact
name age
address
contact
name age
address
* page break *
contact
this is what normally happens. I want to ensure that the page break only happens on the lines.
There are multiple strategies to follow:
The KeepTogether is useful in this case
If you want it to fit on one page only try adjusting page margins, padding, font size, line height to make the report render more compactly
Another alternative is to create a table group on the person, and from the group properties (edit group) check the page break at end property. this way you can have each group on a separate page
Hope this helps
I'm ended up creating a subreport to represent each item.
I looked for the KeepTogether property but that's probably only for reporting services 2008 (I'm using 2005).
If you have the table in a subreport, you must also Right Click -> Format Object -> Uncheck Keep object together.
This was the step that did it for me after I unchecked Keep object together on the table and the subreport details.
I had the same problem, tried 'Keep together' and it didn't work. After a long time of changing and trying many things the one thing that did the job was reducing the bottom margin of a page.
