SSRS Tablix displayed side by side or on another page - reporting-services

I have an SSRS (SSDT 2012) report that I want to have a tablix display beside another on or be on another page.
Essentially I want to give the user the ability to select a drop down that says "Side by Side" or "On Separate Page". Depending on which one they select it will flip on the page break or turn it off. I have all of this part working.
The issue is because the tablix are side by side on the form the page break will not cause the second tablix to break at the end of the first tablix. I still see both tablix on the first page.
The work around is to replicate the second tablix below the first and just hide or unhide depending on the option selected. This is not ideal because I have to maintain separate tablix with the same data.
Is this possible? Or is my workaround the best solution?

SSRS - How to prevent tablix from going to next page if it doesn't fit on one page

I have an SSRS report that has a main tablix which contains a header (appears only once per group) and a "group by" field for the second tablix located inside the main tablix.
The issue: when Tablix 2 data does not entirely fit on the page, it'll jump to the second page on PDF print, leaving first page containing only the header without data (SSRS preview shows it correctly).
I'd like Tablix 2 data to start on the first page and display on the second page whatever left.
Please note there are no forced page breaks or "keep together" options checked.

SSRS 2016 - multiple tablix on one report causes overlap when rendering

I have inherited an SSRS report which had an existing tablix on it - I want to add a further tablix below to display data from another data set as the format is very slightly different - each tablix displays a different kind of sales for a certain customer.
I have added the second tablix and the report seems fine within the report designer renderer, but when I access it via MS Edge directly from the URL the first tablix overlaps the second and obscures it from view.
I have set a page break at the end of the first tablix, and at the start of the second, and again in the designer renderer it works fine and pages, but in MS Edge it overlaps across the page break. In Chrome it renders OK.
The issue I have is I am displaying this SSRS report in a Web Browser Control on an access for an it renders just like it does in MS Edge so it looks screwed up.
It is like the first tablix just runs over into page 2 rather than making the extra content of itself page 2, and the second tablix then on page 3. I don't even really need the pages as ideally it would all be one long report with a vertical scroll, but this overlap issue means I have been trying to force it to split.
Any other way I can stop the first tablix obliterating the second one?
I had a similar problem recently (I found your question while searching for an answer). I didn't want to go to all the trouble of creating a sub report and eventually tracked down the cause of the issue for my case which may be the same as what you were experiencing.
The issue was that my first Tablix was setup with a height of 2.7cm. My second one's top was 2.66781cm. That caused both of them to overlap with each other when the report was rendered. When I changed the top of the second Tablix to 2.7cm the issue was resolved.

ssrs not want final page break

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.

Keep header row in each page

I'm writting a SSRS 2008 report using 1 tablix and 2 Row groups, I've flagged the page break options for the parent group and Rows headers options in the tablix properties.
The page break is working fine, but I can't show the header en each page. I was tried to many ways with unsucessfully result.
If you want a page header to appear on every page, there is an option to add page header sections in SSRS: on the design surface, right-click the report, point to Insert, and then click Header or Footer.
More information about page headers and footers in SSRS can be found here.
There's two sets of properties and both have to be set... one on the tablix itself (repeat on new page), then just above the group list there's a button on the right to go into advanced mode. That shows you some hidden (Static) groups, and once you select those they also have properties to repeat on new page that have to be set.

How do I shows column headers of main report on each page when subreport renders on more than one pages

I have few subreports in a sql main report(.rdl file) using VS/SSRS 2008.
The subreports start approximately on the middle of the page in the main report detail section. I have one group in main report, shows header information and pass one parameter - ReportID to each subreport.
I also have checked both:
Row Headers – “Repeat header rows on each page” and
Column Headers – “Repeat header columns on each page”
on General tab of Tablix properties of the main report.
If I have few detail lines in the subreport, so that all can be rendered on page one, everything is ok.
If I have more detail lines in the subreport so that it's not possible to print all on one page, the subreport renders from the fist page and moves on to page two, three and so on.
When I have more than one page of data in the subreport, it is also started on page one, and continues renders on second page and so on...
However, it doesn't show the main report's column/row headers on subsequent pages of the subreports?
I've noticed that when next item/ReportID starts in my main report group, it prints column header only on the first page but not any subsequent page and so on...
I also tried to check only ONE, either
Row Headers – “Repeat header rows on each page” OR
Column Headers – “Repeat header columns on each page”
on general tab of Tablix properties of the main report BUT didn’t work?
Any ideas how to print header info on each page when subreport has more than one page data?
Pagination is always fun in SSRS.
Have you looked at the page size/interactive of the subreport? This may stop the subreport paging, but I don't know if it's what you want.
An older article on pagination
And a newer one
Presently I am encountering the same problem. In a previous SSRS report we got it to work by putting our tablix inside a single-cell list item so that the headers were repeated. Now I am working on a different report, and when I try the same thing I'm getting this error:
[rsInvalidDetailDataGrouping] The tablix ‘tablixOpportunitySummary’ has a detail member with inner members. Detail members can only contain static inner members.
I've searched extensively, but this is the only link which indicates an known problem in SSRS. At the time of this post it contained 4 workarounds:

A little late, but I think this is what you are looking for:
You need to go to tablix properties > General and check the option Keep header visible while scrolling. Then go to column/row groups in the advanced mode, chose your static row and set the Fixed Data mode to True, Repeat on new page to True and Keep with group to After.
Here is probably the best reference: Here
