I've created a table for SSRS to show data for the current quarter, but end users now want to show previous quarters, when appropriate. The request would be simple if it had been given from the start, as I just need to group all of my rows inside of a "Quarter" group. But with the table already created and using multiple mixes of groups and blank rows, I can't figure out how to add Parent Group to the entire existing format. Ideally, the solution would be through the Design view, but I'm thinking it will have to be done by modifying the underlying XML code.
I was able to figure it out by modifying the XML code. I was wanting to add a Parent Row Group, so I found the TablixRowHierarchy tag and essentially mimicked the first TablixMember tag that contained a Group tag. And wrapped all the existing TablixMember tags inside of a new TablixMembers tag.
I assume the same process would apply to column groups, just starting at TablixColumnHierarchy instead.
I ran into other issues, that appear to be limitations regarding the PageName attribute, as I want each Quarter on a different page, but that is unrelated to the original question.
Using the designer, right click on the outer most group and choose add parent group. Adding the group in the XML code is very messy, and not recommended. The added parent group can use a custom expression if needed.

Sorry if this seems vague; but ive never posted before. Below is a picture for reference:

Im trying to do group by Full name and have page breaks to separate each person to their own page. I want to have the specific persons (Provider Name) whos page were on information in cells (Not headers) at the start of every new page. Is there an expression that will pull the value of the current Row Group value for each page?
If you don;t already have a row group that groups by Provider Name then you'll need to add one. Then inside that group, add additional rows as required (this will be two rows in total looking at your design) and add the required data. Then go to the group's properties and set the page breaks to 'between each instance'.
This will force a page break on change of provider and include the group header.
I have a ssrs report server which generates reports, which I would like to embed into other pages.
I have found that I can embed the entire report in an iframe quite easily, but I would like to hide everything inside of this iframe except for the table I need. This requires setting an attribute in the table so that I can select it. Alternatively, retrieving the client ID of the table after the fact.
However, I have not been able to find a way to embed some kind of identifier into the tablix table such that it can be easily selected. Ideally I'd like to just add a name or id attribute to the table but this doesn't seem possible.
Is there some way around this?
I came across the same issue and use a report parameter as workaround. I created a new report parameter (under Available values > Specify values) with the following values:
'Label 'Value
=Tablix1 1
=Tablix2 2
Now at the tablix under Tablix properties > Visibility > Show or hide based on expression I added this expression:
=IIF(Parameters!ReportParamaterTablixChoice.Value = 1, True, False)
This tablix gets now only displayed if the user selects the value Tablix1 from the parameter. So basically you can see it as unique ID for different tablixes from which you can chose now.
I have a tablix in SQL REPORTS (SSRS) that has many grouped items.
It fits roughly 3.5 groupped item per page when printnig, however I dont want the groups to be split up over the 2 pages, I want a pagebreak to happen whenever the group needs to be split.
I dont want to have it 1 group per page either, I know there is an option for that.
At the bottom of the report builder, you will see two boxes, Row Groups and Column Groups. Select the Column Groups drop down, click "Advanced Mode" and then in Row groups highlight "Details". In Properties under the "Other" section, select "True" for Keep Together. and save. This should work.
Note: I know this is old hope this helps people starting out though.
Modifying the property Other -> KeepTogether of the outermost row group desired to keep within a single page worked for me using Report Builder 3.
My KeepTogether values for each Row Group
Notice in my example, KeepTogether is false for table1_Group1. I don't want to keep my entire dataset together. Instead I want to keep only individual groupings of that dataset together.
In order to see the Properties panel, enable the Properties checkbox under the Show/Hide section of the View tab of the Ribbon.
My View settings
Probably the best place to start is the group-level KeepTogether property.
Indicates whether to keep all sections of the data region together on
one page.
I have just worked through 3 similar reports that were all suffering this issue.
It was only when I marked the group row AND the detail row to get the report to force a page break and keep the pages together.
Interestingly, I can then set the DETAIL BACK to false and the report still functions correctly. I have no explanation as to why, but this was repeatable.
I am using SQL Server 2016 Report Builder (the red one)
I tried all options about that. When I have a more difficult group, it sometimes happens, that the group will be split across pages. Even though setting "Keep Together" property to True.
My solution is:
don't use multiple rows
use one row with rectangle
to rectangle import TextBoxes and fill them with expression "=Fields!Column.Value"
I was wondering if there was a way to create a directory listing report in ssrs and if so, how would i go about creating it.
I'm mostly familiar with creating tabular and some somewhat complex reports, but nothing like this; so any help would be extremely useful.
Here's a sample of how the report might look.
Thanks!
Addendum: The content on each page needs to be grouped by Department & Sub-Department.
I made a mistake on the sample report; where it says Department Subtitle it should say sub-department.
Here's one way I've seen it done.
For a 3 column look, create 3 tables/list with the same dataset and set visibility for details group to:
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=1,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table1
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=2,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table2
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=0,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table3
I think your problem is an addition to this question here.
I did a simple test that imitates your situation. Here is how to do it:
Set the report to 3 columns via Report properties. Adjusted the width of each column so that they fit in 1 page of paper.
Add a List control to the first column. Put Text Box controls inside with the required data fields. The List control will repeat for each Listing record.
Create groups for Department and Sub-Department via Row Groups pane. Rearrange the groups so that they will appear above the List control.
Right-click on Department group (or Sub-Department group) and add Page Breaks.
Preview (Should get a result pretty close to what you want)
I'm using a table on my report to present the data. Since it was a lot of data and I wanted to print the report on a A4 page, I split each row into 3 different rows.
My problem is when the report goes to the second page, I want it to break before or after the 3 rows.
example:
name age
address
contact
name age
address
contact
name age
address
* page break *
contact
this is what normally happens. I want to ensure that the page break only happens on the lines.
There are multiple strategies to follow:
The KeepTogether is useful in this case
If you want it to fit on one page only try adjusting page margins, padding, font size, line height to make the report render more compactly
Another alternative is to create a table group on the person, and from the group properties (edit group) check the page break at end property. this way you can have each group on a separate page
Hope this helps
I'm ended up creating a subreport to represent each item.
I looked for the KeepTogether property but that's probably only for reporting services 2008 (I'm using 2005).
If you have the table in a subreport, you must also Right Click -> Format Object -> Uncheck Keep object together.
This was the step that did it for me after I unchecked Keep object together on the table and the subreport details.
I had the same problem, tried 'Keep together' and it didn't work. After a long time of changing and trying many things the one thing that did the job was reducing the bottom margin of a page.
