I'm using ReportingService 2010 and im trying to get multiple reports into one file on sperate pages. The problem is the order of the pages.
At this point I have a table for each of my datasets on seperate pages. Export to Excel works great, but the order of the pages (Web View and Excel Worksheets) doesn't match the order of my Tablix elements of the rdl file.
Setup is like:
..
<DataSets>
Dataset Name="A"
Dataset Name="B"
Dataset Name="C"
</DataSets>
..
<ReportItems>
<Tablix Name="A_Tablix">...<PageBreak><BreakLocation>End</BreakLocation></PageBreak></Tablix>
<Tablix Name="B_Tablix">...<PageBreak><BreakLocation>End</BreakLocation></PageBreak></Tablix>
<Tablix Name="C_Tablix">...<PageBreak><BreakLocation>End</BreakLocation></PageBreak></Tablix>
</ReportItems>
...
But the pages seem to appear like random, and not in the order of the rdl file. Is there any element I'm missing? Or how do I have to order the Tablix elements of the code to get the same order in the Web View and Excel Worksheets?
I found the answer, after some experimentation...
The problem was, that the Tablix were overlapping. They started at Top 0 and Left 0. It works as expected, after I added an offset according to the desired position to the Top value like:
x*Height of Tablix

I want to change the group name dynamically in RDLC report when the rows of same group moves to next page.
My mockup report looks like this
I want to change the report group name dynamically when the rows of this/same (car) category goes to next page like this
Suggest me some ideas.Thanks in advance
I'm using Report Builder 2012 to create a report. I have inserted multiple text boxes and other controls inside a list box so that I can hide all the controls at once just by hiding the list box. I'm using a SQL Server stored procedure to fetch rows of data. I'm using below expression to hide/show the list box.
=iif(Fields!certificateType.Value = "CT", False, True)
It works fine but it only checks the first row of data. If certificateType field is "CT" in the first row of data, it shows the list box but it doesn't hide the list box back for the next row of data in which certificateType is not "CT". It seems like list box visibility only checks the first row of data and applies it for all the other rows as well. How can i check the visibility of list for all the data rows?
Okay, based on our chat I have updated this solution.
I mocked up some data that looks like this:
certificateType
---------------
AT
BT
CT
DT
ZT
I created a quick and dirty report with a list. In that, I added a rectangle with a textbox in it. I set the dataset for the list to the main dataset (DataSet1 in my case). I set the expression for the textbox to this:
=Fields!certificateType.Value
Image in design mode:
I clicked on the list, and in the Row Groups pane, I right-clicked the Details rows, and chose Group Properties. On the General section, I clicked Add to add a new group expression. Then I chose certificateType from the dropdown.
I moved to the Page Break section of the Group Properties dialog and ticked the Between each instance of a group check box. Click OK.
Now, the report will break for each instance of a certificate type that comes in the dataset. So, if you have ten different cert types in the data, you will get one page for each.
You can't see it in my image below, but there are 5 pages now.
Hope this helps!!
I have tabbed my report in SSRS 2012 by having my page breaks based upon grouping classname and it works great. How do I change the tab names when exporting to Excel? I tried having an expression for page name =Fields!classname.Value. In doing so, it makes all 4 of my tabs equal the first page break of Sales Division.
My tabs are based upon the grouping of classname, which in returns gives me the 4 tabs: Sales Division, VRS, ClearCaptions, and IP-relay.
You need to set the PageName of the Tablix Member (group), NOT the PageName of the Tablix itselfs.
If you got the right object, if will say "Tablix Member" (Tablix-Element in German) in the title box of the properties grid. If it's the wrong object, it will say only "table/tablix" (without member).
Also, be advised to set the sort order of the group expression, so the tabs are alphabetically sorted.
If you get the tablix instead of the tablix member, it will put the same tab name in every tab, followed by a (tabNum). That is exactly your current problem.
This solution was not working for me.
I had to add group break page.

I want to be able to have a multi-value parameter called CopyTypes, which would contain values such as:
{ "ORIGINAL", "CUSTOMER COPY", "PACKING LIST" }
I would like the report to create an identical page for each value in my parameter array, only changing a single text variable in the page footer for each page.
I had thought of just using a single value parameter and calling the report in code once for each param, but this solution isn't ideal.
Here's a setup that may work for you:
Create a subreport for the "single page" with a fixed height
In the subreport, create a parameter "FooterText"
Display the parameter at the bottom of the page (footers of subreports don't show up)
Create a parent report, with that subreport in a list
Create a dataset that generates a row for each selected value in the parameter
Pass that dataset's values as a parameter to the subreport
See my answer to another question on how you could convert the selected values to a dataset.
Bottom line is that you can't really relate stuff in the header/footer of a report to the content of a page: they're quite "static" in that regard. This is particularly a problem for the footer (and also in my suggestion above), because if you "fake" a footer in the report body it may be "shoved off" the page if the body content grows. If that's a problem it may be worth to consider a workaround, and place the text in the ("fake") header e.g. at the top of the subreport.
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.
