I'm looking for a way to increase the number of rows per page in an SSRS report beyond 50. There are dozens upon dozens of guides on changing the rows per page via a parent group that breaks based on a CEILING(RowNumber(Nothing)/X) calculation, but every guide I've come across seems to be focused on decreasing the rows per page, and I want to increase the rows per page.
If I try a number higher than 50 for my breaks--CEILING(RowNumber(Nothing)/100), for example--it still caps the rows per page at 50. Using a number below 50 does work. Is there a report setting I've missed somewhere?
A bit late, but today I was trying to do this same thing.
I managed to do it by going to Report Properties -> Page Setup and increase the Height property.
Report Properties can be opened by right clicking in the blank space outside the report working area.
Depending on the Height will be the number of elements in the page, in my case I was able to show 100 rows per page with a Height of 21.5in
No matter where you set pages breaks, if the content exceeds the page size then the page will break. I'm assuming that you are viewing on screen only in which case you need to increase the height of the report's interactive size property.

I cannot find any helpful article online. I'd like to know what the maximum amount of pages one can have in an access report. I'm currently on page 3 and I cannot get the footer to move down anymore.
I found one answer at DataBaseZone.com but I am unable to add any mroe fields because there isn't any space.
The article you found is correct. A report's detail section has a maximum height of 31680 twips, or 22 inches.
A report can also contain a report header, a page header, a report footer, and a page footer. All these have the same maximum size, and these sizes can be added to that of the main report.
Continuous reports (that repeat for every row in the table) have this limit per row, and don't have an absolute limit.
It seems unlikely (and a little horrific) that you've filled all that space with controls, and still lack space, because that's a LOT of space. Be sure to use the properties pane to set the height of the detail section to the full 22 inches.
In SSRS usually if the table is larger than the page and not able to fit in one page, then it spreads to the next page. But in my case I want to have the entire table in one single page, instead of breaking the table across multiple pages.
I tried with Rectangle container and also tried providing height of the SSRS Report to 0 inches, but still no luck.
Is this possible to do in SSRS, if yes need some help to know how to do...
Go into Tablix properties and check "Keep together on one page if possible"
Make report height 0 too.
I have created a report , which do what it is supposed to do (or almost)
One thing that still bugs me is the following
On some pages , I have 4 boxes (see below)
On other pages, I have 5 boxes (see below).
The number of boxes can change depending on unknown variables/factors.
I would like to have 5 boxes in every page. I'm not sure how to do that. I checked on google and all that came up was some trick to have a fixed number of rows, which is not what I'm looking for
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2010/9/11/displaying-fixed-number-of-rows-per-ssrs-report-page.html
Thanks for any insights you will be able to provide me , with.
The fixed number of rows solution that you linked to in your question is actually partially what you want. Your "boxes" are presumably repeating based on rows in a dataset, what you are asking to do is ensure that exactly five rows appear on each page. The linked solution uses an extra parent RowGroup to force a page break after n rows, which will ensure there are not more than n rows per page.
However the issue you are seeing is that sometimes there are four rows per page and this will be because the combined content of the rows ("boxes") is larger than a single page and therefore when the report is rendered the rendering engine is forced to split it onto a new page. The only way to avoid this is to either ensure that five rows of content is never larger than a page (e.g. by shrinking fonts or changing layout and/or setting the CanGrow property to False on relevant report items), or by mandating a lower number of rows per page (e.g. 4 or 3) when setting up the parent row group that forces the page breaks.
Exporting SSRS Matrix report to Word gives undesired custom Page size instead of Letter size
Even if I reduce the size of the report it changes nothing
And if I choose myself the Letter size will print without issues, it fits the page
How could I fix this?
Thanks
Dan
It could be that the body width plus 5 cm (left margin plus right margin) was interpreted as being too big for A4 and so was upgraded to the next size larger (A3.) I've seen this sort of thing happen with formatting (the infamous "blank" pages in the report when viewing in print layout or exported layout) when the paper size is set to be smaller than the right margin plus the left margin plus the body width. Seems a lot of people are not even aware that the body of the report has its own sizing. And then there is this statement by MSDN
After the report is opened in Word, Word repaginates the entire report
again based on the page size. Repagination may cause page breaks to be
inserted in locations where you did not intend to add them and, in
some instances, may cause the exported report to have two successive
page breaks in a row or add blank pages. You can try to change Word's
pagination by adjusting the page margins. This renderer supports only
logical page breaks.
I currently have a Matrix within an SSRS report. Usually, the matrix will fix to a standard page in portrait mode, however there are cases where the length of the columns will exceed a page. Is there a way to have SSRS render the report to a PDF where this Matrix would auto-size and shrink all of it's contents, ie: font, column widths to fit within a page? I don't want to shrink all objects in the SSRS report to fix the page, just the width of the Matrix.
If you were dealing with height, I would say that that's not a tablix configuration. The tablix would be only expanding because of the columns. And the columns would be expanding because the textboxes that are inside them expand.
So, you would need to deal with it on each textbox by Right clicking the textbox inside the column and select "text box properties". On the general tab uncheck "allow height to increase".
Strangely there isn't an option to width. This link tells about the CanGrow and CanShrink properties but I wasn't able to make it work. Maybe if you want to give it a try.
-> Go to report tab
-> Select the Report Properties
-> Select Paper Size "Letter" and "Width & Height" as per standards ("8.5 * 11" or "11*8.5")
Despite the downvote, Nawaz has the correct answer
To fit it to a specific page, especially for pdf output, then you set the size to A4. I always have three templates for this purpose, screen, pdfland and pdfport. I resize my headers, footers, titles and corporate imagery for each of these templates. It's a pain, but you can incentivise your users to ditch the pdfs and the printing and the paper by creating decent dashboards for them so they have live data to hand. That's really the only decent way I've found of getting them out of old and poor habits
So either right click outside the body of the report and select Report properties, or select it from the properties window tab at the right of the screen, then set the size to either letter or A4. It's not ideal, but if you do not limit the report size in this manner any dynamic columns will render outside the pdf and create multiple pages that need to be stuck together later
edit: If you really need to resize in a hurry, you can open the report as code, and use the replace function to reduce the size, however it is often easier to reposition the tables by hand
