SSRS - Freezing columns headers and rows - but row group header disappears - reporting-services

I have a report where I need to freeze the first few rows and headers so they remain visible whilst scrolling. I have done this setting the static member property through advanced mode. So the Row Group Headers remained visible:
I then fixed the column groups 'Store' and 'Cashier' to remain visible. However, if you scroll down AND across, these headers now disappear:
In the example, you can no longer see the Headings Store or Cashier. How do I prevent this from happening?

Please ignore - seems this only happens in the Report Viewer and not in the application.

Print Layout not showing repeating table headers ssrs

I'm trying to show the tables' headers on every new page and it is working in the usual preview mode in reporting services but it isn't working when showing the report in print layout mode. It shows the headers on some of the pages but only when my parent group is at the top of the page which it rarely is cause of the other "child-tables" data that shows after.
I've been following some other SO-posts where they suggest going in to advanced mode by the column group, choose the static field belonging to the table headers, putting "KeepWithGroup"-property to AFTER and the "RepearOnNewPage"-property to TRUE and ofcourse in the tablix properties check the "Repeat header columns on each page"-box.
While doing everything that people are suggesting in other SO-posts I just can't get it to work.
The image below shows what the table looks like, where the yellow marked area is the header and the red is the "child-table" I put in after merging that row. Between the marked rows is the parent table which the child table is ordered by.
The layout of the table in the report.
Please help me, this is such an annoying problem!
EDIT ---
Okay, so I get that the headers follow the group and that the "KeepWithGroup" = After shows the headers only when the group starts at the top of the page.
Is there any workaround to make the header showing on every page without making it a page header?
Please follow all the other advice readily available on this topic:
RepeatOnNewPage property to **True**.
KeepWithGroup property to **After**.
But then, make sure your lowest level Group has the KeepTogether property set to True.
Otherwise, you'll just be hoping your data breaks on the page for the header to repeat.
After much pain with this exact issue, even setting RepeatOnNewPage to true and KeepWithGroup property to After...ultimately the fix was adjusting the top and bottom margins of the report.
The weird part is that the headers correctly repeat in the report preview, but not after clicking the print layout button.
changing the top and bottom margin from 0.25 to 1 fixes the repeating header issue, but then adds some white space. I'm still trying to figure out the causal relationship between margin and why it breaks the header repeating...but it does fix the problem for some reason.

SSRS: Fixed headers while scrolling

Before you accuse me of dup posting, trust me, I'm not.
I have an issue with keeping headers visible while scrolling. It doesn't work. I deploy the project, and no browser (or version therof) will fix the accursed header.
I have a report with 2x Tablix, one above the other. I need the header row of the second tablix to remain fixed. The header row isn't actually the first row, so I set the Static group to FixedData=True.
The tablix has been set to KeepTogether=True, resulting in the 15+ pages appearing as one long page.
I have set Tablix FixedColumnHeaders=False and FixedRowHeaders=False (although I have tried with =True with the same result: no fixed header.
Browsers used: Chrome, Firefox, IE11/10/9/8
Can anyone help with this?
Try by changing the static components of Row Groups to FixedData=True.

SSRS - RDLC Tablix Rows will not split across pages

I have a tablix with two columns of data (the section name and the section text). The section text has grown so large for some sections that the row representing the section takes up 2/3 or more of the page. THe report prints fine until on of these large rows would have to split over the end of a page and continue on the next page. In this case, and only in this case, the rows leaves large amounts of white space on current page and start on the next page (as if it had a page break before it)
I have already set the Tablix General Property "keep together on one page if possible" to true and all the other page break options for the tablix and row groups to false, to no avail.
Does anyone know of a trick or work around to make the large rows split over pages??
Setting Keep together on one page if possible to true/checked will cause SSRS to attempt to keep the row on one page, which means if the data spans across page breaks it will move that row to start on a new page so that it can be seen on one page, which would introduce white space where the row would be if the table was contiguous. So you need this setting set to False/Unchecked.
Next, ensure that the row group proeprty Keep together is set to False. This can't be accessed through the normal dialog box. If you don't have the properties pane showing in BIDS, then pressing F4 will bring this pane up. Select the row group(s), and ensure the property is appropriately set.
Also make sure that the text boxes inside the tablix are also set to KeepTogether=False. This will fix the problem.

I want to Repeat Page Header on each Page for reports.Repeat on NewPage is not appearing in properties of Tablix member in SSRS 2008

How to Repeat Page Header on each Page.
Repeat on NewPage Property is not appearing in ssrs 2008 tablix memeber property
After a little experimentation, I figured out how to consistently get the table header to repeat on every page.
The setting of the RepeatColumnHeaders property on the tablix seems to have no effect on this behavior. Instead, we have to set it on a static member of the row groups.
To see the static members of the row groups, click on the small drop down arrow on the far right of the row groups/columns groups header. Then select Advanced Mode.
With the static members of the row group shown, select the first one in the list. The top left cell of the tablix should be selected in the designer.
Now open the property pane and find the property RepeatOnNewPage and set it to True.
Then find the property KeepWithGroup and make sure it's set to After. If it's not, set it to After.
Now your table header will repeat on every page.
Depending on how you created your new report, the Tablix xml may or may not have attached the correct properties to the "Header" row of the tablix.
Here is another thread on SQL Server Central with the fix:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic593245-1063-1.aspx
Here is the important bit:
for SSRS 2008,
If a report with a table is created using the wizard feature (In Solution Explorer, right click on >Reports --> Add New Report) Table Headers will repeat on every page.
Instead if a report is created without using the wizard (In Solution Explorer, right click on Reports --> Add --> New Item) Table Headers will not repeat on every page. Setting Repeat Header (Rows/Columns) on each Page for the Tablix will not help either.
If you have already built the report and cannot rebuild using the steps above and if and only if you are comfortable altering the xml behind the rdl, do the following. (Save a Backup rdl first)
View Code.
Look for TablixRowHierarchy
Below that there will be a TablixMember that corresponds to the header row.
to that header and any other header rows ( Tablix Member) add the three element properties.
<TablixRowHierarchy>
<TablixMembers>
<TablixMember>
<KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
<RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
<KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether>
</TablixMember>
...
You should see the header rows repeating.
I tried this in my own Report and found it fixed the problem.
You could also turn on "Advanced Mode" in the Row/Column Groups window and then modify each Static Row entries "RepeatOnNewPage" setting. You'll probably have to set "KeepWithGroup" to "After" as well.
This works well if you utilize a subreport as your header.
You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination). To repeat page headers on each page between groups, make the headers of the tablix part of the group and under the General tab of the Tablix Properties window check Column Headers -> Repeat header rows on each page. You can also do this from the general properties window of the Tablix by using the RepeatcolumnHeaders = True.
Please note my comments are limited to developing SSRS 2008 reports in BIDS. I do not know if this functionality exists in Report Builder.
here the steps you can follow. this resolved the issue(column header on each page):
1) in design mode of rdl file, at bottom you will find "Row Groups" and "Column Groups" (left and right, respectively). Beside Column Groups you will find one arrow button.(this arrow button is right side of column groups protion). click on this arrow button.
2) Check the "Advanced Mode"
3) RowGroups section you will find "(static)" and "(Details)". click on static and press F4(to check it's properties.)
4) provide "Keep With Group" as "After"
5)Provide "Repeat On New Page" as "True"
6) Go back to table, Right click on row header, Go to tablix properties.
7) check on "repeat Header Column on each page" and "repeat Header column on each Rows"
Hope this will help you.

Reporting Services - Header Columns not showing?

I'm using Reporting Services 2008 and Report Builder 2.0. I've used a tablix to display my data in a simple way - essentially each row in the database receives a row in the tablix - nothing fancy. I have a header row with a name for each column. I also have a super-header which groups together a few of the columns into logical groups (e.g. basics, address related, etc.). Now when I generate the report everything looks beautiful - but if I page to the next page it doesn't show the headers. I've tried setting the Repeat Header Rows on Each Page but it doesn't seem to help?
In the Tablix properties check the boxes for: Repeat header rows on each page and Keep header visible while scrolling.
Make sure that the column headers check boxes are NOT checked.
In the Group pane on the left (Row Groups), the first line is static. Set the following for this first static only
set its: "ReapetOnNewPage" property to TRUE
set its: "FixedData" property to TRUE
set its: "KeepWithGroup" property to AFTER
It will work surely!
Source : Answer by ambk on this MSDN
I solved selected advanced next to row groups and column groups then it would show me the additional header rows. I could then select one of these header rows and change the property RepeatOnNewPage to True.
In your RDLC file, make sure that you have a Header node specified. It is possible that you are referring to your "Table" headers, which is not the same as the Report RDLC Header. The Report Header is the one that will repeat using the RepeatHeader property.
