It is getting late here.
Anyway let's crack on
I want my textbox to appear on the last page of my report
I cannot put it into a footer, I don't want to create a rectangle and then put a textbox in it
This link here and here does not help.
I'm getting loco. Any helps are more than welcomed
one thing you can do is create a dataset which query would be something like
select 'this is the text I want in the last page' as txt
then you can create a one column tablix with this dataset and place it after all the other elements in the report and it will show in the last page.

I am trying to set up a 3 part check where the header of the report is the check itself, and the next 2 sections are each a table with the detail data. One copy stays here while the other goes with the check as a stub. I want the data to be exactly the same and print on the same page. The problem I am having is that if I print 2 checks the second table does not appear on the first page but shows up on the second page with the second check (2 tables in the bottom of the second page). How do I get the second table to print on the page with the proper check? I have put both into a rectangle in the body but that has not helped.
I also need the second table to be in a specific location on the page so it can't be put into the first table since the number of detail rows may vary.
How do I share the report design when I can't upload files? It's also hard to get a 2 page pdf file into a single snapshot. The image I uploaded is the second page. The second table should be on the first page not the second page.
The other issue with this is that my page header is expecting to find a total of the fields in the table, so if I use 2 subreports and remove the tables it can't calculate the total.
I am still confused as to what to do. The ultimate goal is to have the check print like this (works fine if only printing one check):
Here is a snapshot of what my rdl looks like in report builder:
I want the exact same table repeated on the same page. I have tried putting them both in a rectangle but that didn't work. I have tried making the second table a subreport but that didn't work. I have tried making 2 subreports with each containing a table but that didn't work. The check part of it is in the page header and it uses the sum of the data from the table to get the total check amount.
I finally got it working! Here is what I did.
1 - Created a subreport that holds the copy of the first table
2 - Added 2 rows below the detail group and put it outside of the group
3 - Put the subreport on the second added row
4 - Made the first added row below the detail big enough to force the subreport to be on the page where I want it.

In a new SSRS 2008 report, I have one main tablix and I will be embedding 5 existing tablixes into the one main tablix. For each row in the main tablix, I will be embedding 1 of the tablixes. There will be one dataset used and the same parameters are used between the 5 existing embedded tablixes. One of the parameters is to allow the user to select report number 1,2,3,4, or 5 which is an integer value. The default will be to select all the reports.
The selection of which reports will be displayed will be from the main tablix on row visibility for each embedded tablix. Each tablix will be set to 'add a page break after'. This works fine except the last page of the last report will always have a final blank page. I basically do not want that final page break to appear.
Thus is there a way to not have the final page break show up? Could I use some kind of condtional page break logic? If there some kind of a way to determine what the highest number report is that is selected and not allow a final page break to occur in that situation. If so, how would you setup that code?
If not, can you tell me a way that will solve this issue and show me the code, show me the screen prints, and or point me to link(s) that will tell me how to solve this problem?
There is two option for page break...One is Start of group and another one is end of group. Tick the start of a group only ...don't select end of a group. Let me know if you need any more help on this...
For each tablix you set "add a page break after", you need to select the tablix and go to Properties pane and expand page break section. Under the page break section you can enter an expression for the Disabled property.
Assuming your SelectReportNumber parameter is single select and Null displays all reports, the expressions for first four tablix should be like:
=IIF(Parameters!SelectReportNumber.Value <> Nothing,True,False)
Last tablix should not have page break in any case.
If you need multi select then you need to modify the expression for determining Max of the parameter and disable that page break only.
I need to display a Textbox in the body of the report, but it has to be on a separate last page. It is actually a Word file that needs to be shown in each report, but seeing as how the only way to accomplish this is to put the file to the Report Server and then access it with a link, I decided to copy the contents of the file to a Textbox.
This and this question on SE are similar, however it is not exactly what I need.
You can achieve this by adding items with appropriate page breaks to the report.
Say I have a simple report with a table and a textbox:
The end result looks about what you'd expect:
However, we can force the textbox onto a new page by embedding it in a Rectangle and setting the Rectangle to always be preceded by a page break:
Now the report displays the textbox on the last page:
Tables themselves can also have page breaks, but since it's just text with no dataset it makes sense to me to use a Rectangle here.
I have six sub-reports and I would like to arrange them as shown below.
The idea is to show the top one in first page and last two in the second page. When I tried, each report appeared in individual page. Putting first 2 reports ( side by side) in a rectangle and inserting page break after also did not work.
Each sub reports were generated using matrix.
Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thank you
You would need to put the reports inside of a 'Rectangle' object and limit page break scope there. So if you want the last two only on a new page, put just those two inside a rectangle. Go into the rectangle's properties and set a page break.
In my report I have Matrices that appear according to the parameters on a SP. Each Matrix holds an specific "code"/description which I want to show on the Page Header accordingly.
I tried using an <<Expr>> but that didn't work well as it only shows the first record of the database instead of the code for the specific matrix.
Then I found out that I can show an specific textbox with "=ReportItems!TextBoxXX.Value" and so I added to each Matrix the code value hidden.
Now I thought of adding in the page header inside a TextBox a concatenation of all the values, but that didn't work, and I got a:
"The value expression for the textrun "textboc11.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]" refers to more than one report item. An expression in a page header or footer can refer to only one report item.
Hence, my next attempt consisted of adding separate text boxes each one with the desired TextBox Value and one behind the other (like a Pile of textboxes). Everything working now, except that the "space" that each textbox occupies appears in the report showing the desired value and a white space above each textbox when rendered.
Any ideas of how to prevent this behavior? Maybe creating an array with the textboxes and creating an IIF or I don't know, I've been searching for days and nothing seems like a good approach.
I hope someone can give me some advice and that I explained myself.
Thanks!
