I am trying to achieve something in SSRS but not able to do so. I have around 3000 records in my table, but when I try to Preview that in SSRS report it is taking 103 pages to display. I tried to have two tables on the same page pointing to same dataset, but one table shows odd records and the other table shows even records with the help of rownumber(). With this I reduced my pages to 27.
I want the data to be displayed serially in one table, and when it reaches the end of the page it should transfer the next record to another table on the same page. I am attaching a table that I want to include in my report.
Alter the white outer space in design view to the minimum.
Go into report properties and select columns , amend value to 2.

I have a SSRS report with two tables. One is built from the SQL code and made up of expressions - it's basically a report card that creates a new row for each subject that the student studies.
Below that, I have created another table which only has text, and is in no way utilizing the SQL dataset. However, for every row created by the first table, the second table is duplicated. For example, if the student has 7 subjects, then the second table will be repeated 7 times. Is there any way to prevent this?
The easiest option is to use textbox instead of table if you are only using that table as a text area but if you don't want to use a textbox just delete the details group that gets set up by default during creation of table. http://prntscr.com/8wy2by. So that leaves the header only and it will not repeat. If you want to add more row you could right click on the left side of that header and select insert row. See this image http://prntscr.com/8wy2lc.
I hope you get the point. :)
I am having issues recreating an old report with SSRS. The original report would pull about 5-6 records from SQL, and then have a corresponding 2 page report for each record. This would be easy if I could just create an individual report for each record, which is possible, but is not what is being asked of me.
I need to be able to have 2 pages for each record I return. For example:
Page 1 will have a different table than page 2 for the same record and will be view-able as:
record 1:
page 1,2
record 2:
page 3,4
record 3:
page 5,6
No grouping is necessary for records. They just need multiple pages to repeat.
Someone I work with suggested a sub-report, but I'm not sure how that would work.
I use the report builder to create reports.
Thanks for any help. I will gladly clarify if necessary.
The nature of SSRS is that it grows based on whatever data is available when it is run. In order to force it to take up two pages per record, you'll need to set a placeholder. One way to do that is to have a table that spans two pages. Make sure the "CanShrink" property is set to False for the cells in at least one of the columns. You can remove the borders to make the column invisible if the length of the report varies.
Next, you can add columns as needed for your other report data. It doesn't really matter if you want to use a subreport or not, either way will work.
I am creating a report in SSRS. I have a table showing the date and time the report was generated, it's a single column table with one expression =Now() and is not linked to any datasets.
The trouble I am having is that it returns 77 rows all with the exact same date. My main dataset returns 77 rows in a different table but that table is not linked to this one in any way.
How can I stop it from returning so many rows? The reason I'm using a table and not a text box is because I want it to have the same look and feel as other data presented in my report i.e. Header Row and Data Presented underneath. There are a few tables that use the same approach and all of them are returning duplicate rows. As you can see from the image below, I just need the first row from each table.
EDIT: Looks like SSRS automatically references a dataset when I insert a new table. When I change the table properties dataset to none it returns an error. Is there a way around this? I don't want data from any dataset, just want to use an simple expression =now()
As you've seen, a Tablix requires a DataSet, and when you only have one DataSet in a report it will link to this DataSet automatically in some circumstances.
You've mentioned you don't want to use Textboxes, but this does seem like the easiest option.
If you're set on using a Tablix for ease of formatting, to prevent any repeating rows just delete the Details group that gets set up by default when you create a Table through the designer:
This leaves a table with one header row only - you can add more header rows as required:
The result is a table that will only display the header rows once, i.e. no repeating rows.
You can add Summary data or individual fields from the DataSet to these header rows; if no aggregation is specified it will just take the first row by default.
In Report Builder 3.0 i have created a table displaying information about a list of employees in an organization. The idea is to have one page per employee. The employees can be selected from a drop-down in the report and selecting multiple employees should result in one page per employee. Right now my table is expanding including the information for all selected employees in the same table. Can i make the table only include records from one employee, break to the next page and repeat the table on this page with the next employee?
Thanks
My answer to a similar question yesterday may help.
The report won't repeat; the table won't repeat; but you can have rows of the table repeat. You can set the report up to have a page break before every row or you can create groups of rows that are displayed on separate pages.
To answer your question directly and specifically:
Can i make the table only include records from one employee, break to the next page and repeat the table on this page with the next employee?
Yes, you can make the table only include records from one employee, and you can include page breaks. No you can not repeat the same table in the same report without executing the report multiple times. One way to do this is by using a subreport. Take a look at the answer I typed up yesterday.
Use a List. Make it the size of your page. When you click on the center of the list, it will give you Rectangle properties. Set PageBreak = end. Make sure Disabled = False.
I am using business intelligence to create a report for your company, we need to add blank table for user to input information, when I add a table from toolbox to the report, it just shows 1 row, but after I preview the report, the report generate 10-20 of blank rows randomly, how can I set the number of row ?
When there is no records in table, how can I make the report to show "no records" ?
Thanks in advance !
In the report designer, you will see 1 detail row (plus a header and footer row). In preview mode, you will see 1 detail row per record in the data source.
Use the "NoRows" property of the table to display a message when there are no rows. If this property is empty, the table header and footer will be displayed.
