Page numbering by group on report - ms-access

I have a report where I want to show records by group in different pages.
Assume that groups have enough records to cover more than one page . In addition in the group footer section I have totals.
I want page numbering by group . For example group 1 covers 2 pages so the numbering must be Page 1 and Page 2 , group 2 covers 3 pages so the Page number must be Page 1 ,Page 2 and Page 3.
I have succeeded on numbering by group but when the page shows only the group footer section where I keep the totals the page numbering resets for example if Page 3 of Group 2(previous example) shows only the totals instead of Page 3 shows Page 1. The code I use is :
Private sub GroupHeader
Page =1
End sub
Private sub GroupFooter
Page = 0
End sub

SSRS report total fields

How to show the total of each page in SSRS report. What I exactly mean is if pageNumber = 1 total should be sum of amount on page 1, if pageNumber = 2 total should be sum of amount of page 2 + total from page 1, etc...
.Have you tried using the running value function?
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159136.aspx
You can also use ReportItems![CellName] to enable you to display the value in the report footer if required.
If this does not give what you require and you have a fixed page size eg A4 you can calculate the page totals and Page Numbers as a fields in your data set. This is more powerfull in settings where for example you want to print a set of customer statements in a single print run. Each customer statement would need its own page numbers and totals. Again you can use ReportItems to display these values in the relevant part of the report as they would appear at the detail level of the dataset. In this case you add a hidden field(s) containing the values you require on the detail line and pick them up using ReportItems. You can also force a page break at the end of each Page number group
To repeat the report Header / Footer on each page see this link

To start with go to the footer properties and make sure repeat on first and last page is checked.

How to give page break in SSRS

I am making a very simple report in SSRS. I am trying to do the following:
On page 1 display following text
THIS IS PAGE 1
On page 2 display following text
THIS IS PAGE 2
I added "Text" field in my report in which I have set the value field to "THIS IS PAGE 1". But I can't find any option to add page break after it. How do I give page break?
I am not sure what is the purpose of having Page Break for you without any content..
but still i tried by adding a table on a report with one column and hide that and it works
Step 1
Create a DataSet with query (commandtext)
Select 'A' AS GRP
UNION
Select 'B' AS GRP
Step 2
Insert a table & set DataSetName as created in step1
Step 3
Click on Table Group & press F4 to Set Page Break Properties value,
Set BreakLocation to Between & PageName to =Fields!GRP.Value (See screenshot for your Ref)
Step 4
From above Step you will see report break into 2 page as there are 2 records from query step 1.. Now next step is to Display Page Number for the insert PageHeader
Step 5
Insert Page Header with textbox expression value as
="THIS IS PAGE " & CSTR(Globals!PageNumber)
Last but not least, Hide unexpected table columns (TextBox) as you just want to display Page Number or Page Header
Output of the report will be like

SSRS Get table last value from previous page

In Reporting Services imagine that i have a table with 1 column, that when is printed (2 pages) looks like this:
1st Page
Value
1
2
3
2nd Page
Value
4
5
6
What I need is that when it is printed looks like this:
1st Page
Value
1
2
3
2nd Page
Value
Last Value From Page 1: 3
4
5
6
Briefly what i want is that,in each page of the report (except in page 1) the first value is the last value from previous page...
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance...
There is built-in functionality to display row and column headers on multiple pages. This also tells you how to keep a static row or column visible while scrolling. Note the KeepWithGroup and RepeatOnNewPage properties.
If the rows you would like to repeat across pages are not group headers, you may have to make your own page group. This approach is not very pretty, but you could structure the data with flags to signal its own page breaks, and then manually include a repeat row after the page break. So the data set would look like:
Value PageFlag
1 1
2 1
3 1
3 2
4 2
5 2
6 2
You would add a grouping on PageFlag with a page break for each group.
On the Page Breaks tab, select Between each instance of a
group to add a page break between each instance of a group in the
table.
There is more detail on the KeepTogether property here. You can also read up on Pagination and Page Layout.

SSRS group header shows on all but last page

I have had some trouble getting group headers to show on each page, but the steps to achieve this are well documented on here and elsewhere online, but I have a new problem.
I have a group header that appears on each page except for the last one.
My report is set like this-
<group on IDs>
<group on description>
<group on desc_num>
<static>
<static>
<static>
<group on other>
<static> -- this is my header causing trouble
<group on other_num>
<static>
in my dataset query, i have something like this:
Select 'Description', ROWNUM desc_num, x,y,z, null null etc...
UNION
Select null null null null etc... 'Other', ROWNUM other_num, a, b, c
In my report, i use the group by description to group together all from the first part of the query, and then i group by desc_num so that i can do a keep together so my static rows stay together. I do the same for other.
Each ID can have many descriptions each containing multiple groups of details. They can also have many "others" containing multiple groups of details. The description and other groups can contain several pages worth of data.
For my heading for the other group, I have the advanced properties set to True, After, True for KeepTogether, KeepWithGroup, and RepeatOnNewPage which allows it to show on each page of the other groups.
This works perfectly, except that the other header will not appear on the last page. For one specific id, there are 3.5 pages of "description" group, followed immediately (no page break) by 6 pages of "other" group. The word "Other" shows appropriately at the beginning of the other group halfway down page 4 and at the top of each following page except for on page 10, which only contains a half page.
This header has similar result when there are less pages, it always does not show on the last full page of "Other" group members.
If anyone has any ideas or advice for this, i would greatly appreciate it.

Optimize 2 mysql queries into one

Using php and mysql 5.x. I currently load a banner image in a certain section of my site like so:
SELECT * FROM banners WHERE section = 1 AND pageid = 2
But if no results found I run a second query:
SELECT * FROM banners WHERE section = 1 AND pageid = 0
Basically what Im doing is trying to find banner images assigned to that section for that page. If no results found then I look for any default banner images in the second query. Is there a better way where I can do this in one query?
EDIT
To clarify a little bit more. I want to check if there is any banners assigned to the page, if not then see if there is any banners assigned to 0 (Default). I dont want a mix of both either it shows all banners assigned to that page or show all banners assigned to pageid 0 and there could be a possibility of multiple rows returned not just one.
ADDITIONAL EDIT
To better explain what this is for. In an admin tool I allow someone to assign a banner image to section on the website. In the admin tool they can select the section and the page they want the banner image to show. They can also set the default banner image(s) for that section. So if there were no banner images assigned to a section by default it will load the banner image(s) assigned to 0 for that section throughout the website. So instead of assigning a default banner image to 50 different pages they can just do it one time and it will load the default banner image or images for that section. Just trying to find a way to do this in a more optimal way, instead of 2 queries could it be done in one?
The OR operator will make the conditional (pageid = 2 OR pageid = 0) return true immediately if just the first value is true and since there is a LIMIT 1 I think it should always fetch one with pageid = 2 first since the order of pageid is DESC and 2 is bigger than 0.
SELECT * FROM banners WHERE section = 1 AND (pageid = 2 OR pageid = 0) ORDER BY pageid DESC LIMIT 1
EDIT: I'm not positive if the ORDER BY is necessary, I'd love to see some comments on that
Maybe it's not the most elegant way, but you can try this:
SELECT *
FROM banners
WHERE section = 1
AND pageid = IF(
(select count(*) from banners where section = 1 and pageid = 2) = 0,
0, 2
);
