I want to add a page to SSRS report, which can be toggle on/off based on a radio button selection.
The reason I want to add a page is so I can add additional report logic information for the functional users. Is it possible to add a page (with several text boxes) in SSRS report and show/hide based on parameter value?
NOTE:* One approach I could use is to add a rectangle and control its visibility via parameter. However, when hidden, it leaves a blank space behind. Is there a way to get rid of this blank space?
You can do this with a table component. Add a detail row and a footer row and set the dataset to read from SELECT 1=1. You can put a rectangle in the rows and build out your report in the first row and then optionally show/hide the footer row.

I have 5 visualizations in my rdl file. After each visualization I have a ABOUT Textbox which should be filled from a database table and it has html content to render.
Consider a table with 5 rows having visualization name and ABOUT Text.
<table><tr><th>visualization Name</th><th>About Text</th><th></th><th></th><th></th></tr><tr><td>Visualization1</td><td><B>Table1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization2</td><td><I>Table2</I></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization3</td><td><B>Chart1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization4</td><td><I>Chart2</I></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr><tr><td>Visualization5</td><td><B>PieChart1</B></td><td></td><td></td><td></td></tr></table>
I have created a DataSet which would pull all 5 rows along with 2 columns. And I want to link each row's AboutText field to each TextBox of individual visualization. Of course I'll have to use filters. But there is no option for adding filters in TextBox expression. And I don't want to create 5 separate DataSets for just rendering purpose.
How would I achieve this in SSRS 2016?
Create a tablix and put your visualisation in one row and your About Text in the next row as a child group. Set the child groups visibility to be toggled on the parent group and your will be able to expand and collapse the About Text row by clicking on a little + icon that will appear next to your Visualisation.
There are a few ways you could do this. One option is to add an ID column to your dataset. Then in each textbox you can use the Lookup function to get the appropriate label. Another option is to insert a table with one cell next to each visualization. You can use the Filter property on the table to control which label is shown.
We have one requirement in SSRS where we need to display the tablix on click of the Image. By default tablix will be hidden, when user clicks on the Image then we need to show the hidden tablix. Kindly suggest some solution if any. Thanks.
You can toggle the visibility of an object. Initially have the visibility property set to hidden, then use the toggleitem property to accomplish what you are looking for. Instructions are below
To hide static rows in a table, matrix, or list:
In report design view, click the table, matrix, or list to display
the row and column handles.
Right-click the row handle, and then click Row Visibility. The Row Visibility dialog box opens.
To set the visibility, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
To hide static columns in a table, matrix, or list
In Design view, select the table, matrix, or list to display the row and column handles.
Right-click the column handle, and then click Column Visibility.
In the Column Visibility dialog box, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
Then use the ToggleItem property of the table. Select the table, locate the property in the Properties window and specify the name of the textbox. If you now render the report you'll notice a little + icon in front of the testingBox content.
To find out what your textbox is called first select that and look at the bold part in top of the Properties window. To change it you can use the Name property. It's advisable to give it a clear name so you can easily locate it.
I am using SSRS 2012 for my report. I want to hide certain columns in a report. I don't want to see spaces between columns in my report when a middle column is not visible. I have an expression that hides or make visible a certain column base on the value selected.=IIF(CBool(Parameters!Column.Value)=True,True,False)
But the issue I have with this is that I see spaces between columns in the table when the report is rendered.
In the image below, I want to be able to hide the Code column at the middle of the table without seeing any gap between columns in the table. Thanks for the help.
I'm assuming that you highlighted the Code column and then added the expression to the Hidden property in the Properties Pane?
Try right clicking on the column, selecting Column Visibility, and then entering your expression in the box under the 'Show or hide based on expression' radio button. This should collapse the column and not leave any whitespace when your parameter is set to true.
I am attempting to reproduce a form within SSRS and fill it with data. The original form has blocks with small labels inside of each box that identifies the entry requested.
I "thought" I could simply use two different tablixes: one for the blocks with borders and labels, and the other one with the actual datafields or expressions, and align the 2nd tablix directly over the first one so that it appears as though the fields are presenting data inside of the labeled boxes.
It looked as I wanted it in design view, but when I went to preview the report, it pushed the 2nd tablix below the first tablix, in effect creating two tablixes, one stacked on top of the other one (not displaying as how I intended).
So, how do I accomplish the form design in the manner that I am seeking?
You should be using a type other than tablix for your report. Use a 'List' instead and you can free float objects as you need them and also nest a tablix as well. A little explanation on list:
You can float images with text boxes and then even change syntax or draw boxes around them and decorate those.
The call out for a field in SSRS is [(value)] with the [] meaning: "Data Column in recognized Dataset"
You can call out Variables with an '#' in front of them [#Test] would be a variable a user would put in called 'Test'.
Whatever size 'List' element is will determine how large it is when it repeats. If you want a strict form ensure the length and width are set correctly on the properties of that element.
If you want it to break every page you can click on the 'List' > Right Click the top left corner > Properties > 'Add a page break before' checkbox.
My example shows a super simple textbox with a dataset that only has three ideas repeat as many times as there are id's, three times. You can apply this to your form as needed.
It looks like you could reproduce that form header quite easily with a single tablix. If you envisage the form as a set of tablix cells like so:
then all you need to do is set the Border properties for each cell to hide the borders as needed (or you could merge the cells e.g those for Applicant and Location).
You can use a tablix with only Header rows, deleting the detail row. If you need multiple forms per report, then put the tablix inside a List region.
I have a report in SSRS 2008 that has the following structure:
List
Tablix
Row Group
Row1
Field
Row2
Subreport
Is it possible to completely hide the first row in the row group, based on some condition?
I can hide the row, but the empty row still takes up space, I want the empty row to take up no space at all.
Part of the answer is given in the discussion that this question links to:
Try to set the Hidden property of the Static Row Group under the Details Group, in this case the whole row will disappear instead of the content of the textboxes.If you are using Report Builder, you need to switch to Advanced Mode (make sure that the Properties and the Grouping windows are displayed, go to the upper right side of the Grouping window and press the black triangle), click on the second "Static" item under the "(Details)" group and you can set the Hidden property on the Properties window.
However, this causes an exception when trying to export the report as PDF.
you can write an expression for the visibility of row.
