I am formatting reports and while previewing the page is overflowing
I would like to have Tablix and 2 charts on a single page.
Please see below:
I made sure there are no Page breaks in either Tablix or the charts...
I checked Report -> Report Properties -> Landscape and also made sure
margins are 0.5in and width > height.
Please let me know what am I missing here?
Thanks

Check the size of the body of the report, does this go over the landscape size? If it does it will go over onto 2 pages when you preview the report.

Wondering if someone can point me in the right direction. I currently have a report with 5 sub sections of data, each surrounded with a Rectangle.
I am wanting each sub section to appear on a new page and then be able to export to Excel and each section to appear on a new Tab.
I set Page Break / Break Location in each Rectangle to "Start" and label the PageName to what I want to call the Tab. When I run the report the 4 subsections show correctly but I am left with a blank page before I get the 5 section, but when I export it to Excel it appears correctly.
What I want is 5 pages in the report for each section and when exporting I want 5 tabs, can someone tell me where I am going wrong with setting the pagebreaks if that is indeed what I am doing incorrectly.
Thanks
As you are successfully exporting to Excel, but not the report viewer, this suggests your report and page sizes are not correctly set up on your 4th subsection.
When you have report elements that are slightly too large for your report page, the parts that 'overhang' will generate a new page of just the part that overhangs. This is often a very small amount of white space, so it looks like the page is completely blank. When you are exporting to formats such as excel, this does not matter so you correctly see the page breaks as new sheets.
To check whether this is the case, add borders and fills of different colours to all your rectangles and then run the report. On your 4th 'blank' page, if you see any colours or borders you will know which rectangle or report element is growing beyond its page.
I have modified a sales invoice report of Dynamics AX. When I deploy and open report in Ax it shows that report has 1 page, but if I export it as PDF or if I print it out then it has two page, first page as it should be and second extra page only with header / footer. I tried to reduce size of header / footer but the problem isn't solved and also if I reduce them fields are moved from wanted positioned as we use pre-printed papers to print reports.
How can I get rid off extra unwanted page?
Often I find that problems like this are related to the page size, report size, and margins. Take a look at the Report properties and take note of the page size and margins. Make sure that in the Body properties of your report, the size is less than the difference between the page size and margins.
Im building out an SSRS report for a client and when i build it, seems to be fine. when I print or do a printer preview however, the report and its contents are being printed over 4 pages rather than all on one page. I could use some help as I dont deal with SSRS that much.
Thanks
In the designer you should open the Document Outline view. The basic structure for a report is something along these lines:
Report
-> Body
-> Control / tablix / subreport 1
-> Control / tablix / subreport 2
-> etc
-> Page Header
-> Page Footer
If you select the Report item, the properties pane will show you several important properties:
Page Size (for printing and pdf renderer)
Interactive Size (for other renderers)
Margins
These properties determine on what sizes the report should be printed. If you select the Body item, you will also see a Size property. That size could grow, depending on your tablixes, because they may expand horizontally and vertically.
Basically if your body size is larger than the Page Size (and margins) allow for, the printer will render additional pages. You should play around with those values to fix your issues, I'd think. Looking at your example screens you could start with:
decreasing the margins
changing the page size so it becomes landscape
play around with positioning in the body to fit more content on a page
I have a long report in SSRS with 3 tablix. I would like to have it in a single page when viewed in the browser, but when printed i want to have each tablix on it's own page.
Is it possible to define page breaks that only applies to printing?
you can make conditional page breaks but I think that this issue that you want to do is impossible.
see if this might help, the idea behind was to insert a text box in my footer and to print this text box only on even pages:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber Mod 2,True,False)
Let me know if this works
I tried creating a report using a sub report. When I exported it to PDF I have noticed that there are extra blank pages in the PDF.
I made it clear that body width + left margin+ right margin <= report width.
But still it gives the blank page. sub report as individual working great.
Also I am calling the sub report from with in a list in main report.
I tried to set up a page break after list . but it looks like its not working.
I want the next list displayed on a new page.
How do I achieve these.
There is no single property available for this in SSRS. You have to check for couple of settings
In report properties, set "ConsumeContainerWhitespace" to TRUE
In tablix properties, set page braek location to NONE
IF still the issue persists, check alignment/margin of objects like rectangle,tablix etc.
A few things to look for:
Check the "parent" and subreport for any controls that are in your margins (or may grow into the margins). Setting the width doesn't necessarily force the controls to that width.
check for any controls that overlap. I've had strange things happen because of that (especially in SSRS 2005).
checking the "Print Layout" while previewing helps find most issues like this at design time (before exporting to PDF).
For the hard break with your list not sure what is goofy there. I usually use a table with groups and set the page breaks on the appropriate group. Depends on the data though.

Check top and Bottom margins, for me reducing.1 of bottom margin solved the issue.
In my case (with Report Builder 2017) the solution to get rid of a blank extra-page was to reduce the width of the body.
The body can be selected by clicking on a free space in the report on the same height than the Tablix is located.
You then get the "Body properties" shown in which you can reduce the size.
The size of the body should be less than page width - left margin - right margin.
For me it was a problem with the sub report's width which caused extra blank pages in the exported version. Reducing the width solved the issue.
If still someone having an issue with blank pages in PDF, just increase the width of the main report to a few inches. Keep reducing to an optimum value by checking the report. No need to change anything else.
For me when I increase the width for pagesize report from 21 to 23 cm,
It was not generating extra empty page. Because of few elements total
size of my report's element was greater than 21 and less than 23, that
is why I changed to 23cm and works for me.
In my case I have only one page and I was working with .rdl file.
When exporting to pdf and the report contains a sub report where the sub report is grouped on an item from parent report.
Do not use the list control in the parent report to group sub report. Use the table control.
The list control will cause blank pages while the table control does not
