I have a report with a tablix on the right side and several textboxes arranged in rows and columns on the left. While previewing the report, the tablix gets expanded with the separate values in them and because of which some of the text boxes are also getting pushed down leaving blanks spaces and making the report look unformatted.
I have attached the report format. Please let me know if you have any solution to this issue.
You need to place your report items in rectangles to stop them interacting with each other. Put your items on the left all into the same one and the table on the right into it's own.
Have you tried setting the Can Grow attribute to False or did you need it to expand? If so I would actually increase your Tablix size to the max it can to not push the text boxes and then set the property to Can Grow to false.
I think I know why rectangles didn't work for you. I have a similar report I am trying to create with the same format. I had the same problem you mentioned where white space appeared above my report objects, and the objects on the left still did not appear in the correct places.
What I found was that you need to create the rectangle first and then add objects into it. It appears that the above problem occurs when you try to place a rectangle on top of your report objects.
I know this is 4 years late, but I thought this might hopefully save someone some time.
Go to Report Properties to select columns number from 1 to 2 to see information side by side instead of going to next page.

I'm working on a "contract format-like" rdlc report, which will have four tablix with variable numbers of rows. This report also have a fixed "last page" that is set to do a page break "always".
What I want to achieve is to "span" some element to gave the impression that the remaining white space between penultimate/before last and last page won't be written/added with any more info in the future (as we use to do by handwriting/completing, in the past). The ideal object could be a transversal line (I think that's not possible in my research). Also I have found some workarounds that take in count the "number of rows" of each tablix and do and approximation height, then add the "needed" rows to the end of the last tablix but that's not quite the solution I'm looking for.
Please look the attached image for a better idea of the line desired location:

I hope you can advise with your experience on this (even if not the solution some idea of how to achieve it).
Thanks in advance!
Unless I'm missing something....
If you wan to simply add a page break and then a 'blank' page...
Just add a rectangle under your last tablix.
Make it short vertically, (the width does not really matter as long as it's no wider than you tablix). Move it so it's close to the last tablix (say 5pt below)
Right-click the rectable and choose properties. Now set the properties of the rectangle to "Add a page break before"
This will force a page break after the last tablix and then push the empty rectangle onto the next page giving the impression that it is blank.
I've not come across anything like I am looking for so either I'm either not asking the right questions (for which I will apologize for re-asking a question) or it's not been asked.
I'm working on a report to print header information onto pre-printed carbon copy forms on a continuous form feed impact printer. The form is two pages and the header for the second page only contains part of the information that the header on the first page has.
I have the first page header working fine. I played with using rectangles and it was printing on target on every other page. The problem comes in when I try to print the page two header.
The way I am formatting the headers is that I have a single cell tablix with a rectangle in the cell. I've measured out where the 11 fields belong for page one of the form and placed them on the form. This all works correctly. Below that, I've inserted a second rectangle with the add page break before property checked. In that rectangle I have two of the fields that are repeated one just above the other (field 1 and field 2). Field 1 is in exactly the same spot as it is on page one. Field 2 is higher and to the left of where it is positioned on page one. The report body has no margins. Positioning is all done directly through the elements themselves. Field 1 sits about 1/16 to 1/8 inch lower than it does on page 1 even when position top is set to 0 (and there is no page margin). I can position field 2 exactly where I want it to be however. If I have multiple forms print out, all the page ones are perfect and page 2 field 2 is spot on but page 2 field 1 is always too low.
I tried separating the rectangles but was unable to connect the dataset to the second rectangle.
Is there a better way to do this? Is there a setting I'm missing that is adding padding to the second rectangle? Any help is appreciated.
Not quite the answer that I was looking for but it nearly fixed the problem. It turns out that the field itself had padding on it. I'm not sure how as I copied and pasted it from the first page but it moved it up to a acceptable position. It is still a bit low but close enough that the requester is happy with it.
I've got a number of tablixes and they hide/show expressions.
If we run the report for a particular dataset, the first tablix is shown on the first page and the data ends pretty much on the last line of the page.
The second tablix is hidden in this particular scenario but since I have left about 1cm gap between tablixes, this causes a new empty page to be created. Is there any way of removing this gap?
Move the tablix's closer together (basically remove as much whitespace as you can)
If you need more space when you are showing the tablix - add a row to the top of the tablix and set its visibility to false.
This is often caused by the feature of ssrs preserving whitespace around objects that are hidden
Check for the page breaks in the tablix properties. It may be there which is causing this.
I am creating an SSRS report in SSRS report builder 3.0. I currently have a table where the rows have a Data Bar inside of the cells. I cant figure out how to get the data label to center on the row. I tried selecting center under the Data Bar "Custom Attributes for "bar label style" and also under the Data Label under "position". Both seem to just center the label on the Data Bar itself not on the row.
I'm under the reputation limit or i would post an image of what I'm talking about.

I realise that this is an old post, but I stumbled across this forum searching for an answer to the same question. Unfortunately, I have to agree with Christopher, in that there is no way around the issue (that I know of).
However, I have used a very simple workaround that displays the data bar and values neatly, and thought it may be useful for others.
Quite simply, I have added another column to the right of the data bar, and have entered the same field. I have then removed the borders between the two textboxes, so that it displays the data bar to the left with the values aligned to the right.
While this does not provide an answer to the question as such, I hope that it may help others with the same problem in the future.
I suspect, unfortunately, that what you seek is not possible. The reason being that the label is a part of the bar. The label is defined for the entire series, and for each label, it is positioned relative to the bar itself. Relative to either the start or the end or the middle of the bar, but not relative to the chart's container.
What I imagine you wanting is to define something that is centered in the cell itself, which would have to be a direct component of the cell (e.g., placeholder, entered text). Unfortunately, when using a databar, you cannot add anything else into that cell.
In a RS report I have a matrix whose LayoutDirection property is set to RTL (because it's in Hebrew). I created a column group by dragging a field form the dataset field list and dropping it in the column header of the matrix. So the number of the columns is variable (which is OK).
When I view the report, the order of the columns is correct (from right to left). But the problem is that the matrix grows to the right and is always aligned to the left. The report is RTL, so I need the way around, i.e. I want the matrix to be aligned to the right and grow to the left.
I couldn't find a way to fix it. Could you please help me to solve this problem? Thanks.
The way to fix it is by setting the property called "RightToLeft" in the "ReportViewer" control to "Yes".
The report viewer is the control which host and present the RDL. by default the report viewer set to left to right and not to RTL.
I have used it at my company and it works fine!
