SSRS extra header pages being printed - reporting-services

This is most likely an easy question to answer but for whatever reason I'm not seeing it. I have an SSRS report (8.5 X 11) developed in Report Builder 3.0 SQL server 2008R2. The report just has a header section and body. The body consists of 3 tablix objects; each table can have 1:N rows and any of the tables can have enough rows to cause the report to print a new page. The margins are all .25 inches and the width of the report is causing no problems. However, when it is printed I am getting the 1st page with the header data and a page of table data, the 2nd page prints just the header data, the 3rd page prints the header data and the rest of the table data, and the 4th page prints just another page of header data. Why are the extra header pages being printed? Thanks for any help.

What is most likely happening is that part of your report is too wide, and the extra space is printing on the second page. It's usually the report body (it can change as you add columns to your tables) - I would check that first. Just look at the properties and make sure the width isn't wider than what will print on your page.
If you're having trouble identifying which section the extra width is coming from, try changing the background colors on the header, body and footer sections. Set each of them to a different color, then print the report to pdf. You’ll see the colors in the pdf and be able to identify which one is too wide.

create margins after page break within tablix

Im working on a Report with a coverpage. So the body has no margins and the full page is useable.
The report also has no Headers or footers because the coverpage must cover the whole page.
For tablix i set a row with empty textboxes to get white space between the page border and the tablix. But if a tablix gets so much data that 1 site is not enough, the data will go to the very edge of the page and start at the very top of the new page.
How can i enter space at these points so data isnt at the edge of the page?
I was unable to find a method that worked in this case.
So the BackEnd dev requested for me to split the two reports into the Coverpage and visual data area. That way i can have footers and my colleague simply merges both reports back together when its being requested.

SSRS report extra page

I have modified a sales invoice report of Dynamics AX. When I deploy and open report in Ax it shows that report has 1 page, but if I export it as PDF or if I print it out then it has two page, first page as it should be and second extra page only with header / footer. I tried to reduce size of header / footer but the problem isn't solved and also if I reduce them fields are moved from wanted positioned as we use pre-printed papers to print reports.
How can I get rid off extra unwanted page?
Often I find that problems like this are related to the page size, report size, and margins. Take a look at the Report properties and take note of the page size and margins. Make sure that in the Body properties of your report, the size is less than the difference between the page size and margins.

Access 2010: Report Prints Three Extra Pages

In Access 2010, I have a button that launches a macro that prints a report. Button->Macro->Report. The report is only on one page and is 8.1 in width. It will not go to 8.
I have deleted the header and footers and all that is left is the detail portion. It is contained on one page, but it prints 3 extra pages. I have been scouring Google and messing with the report properties, but nothing has stopped it from printing 3 extra pages.
The page margins are set at .25" all around.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say you "deleted" the header and footers. Under design view, set the "visible" property for the headers/footers to "no" to see what is causing the issue. Often it is the footers that cause weird page breaks. If you find out that a footer is the culprit, you could make an additional group level with only a footer and copy all the data in either the page or report footer into that other footer. I usually have it group on expression "=1" and set the report footer "visible" to "no".

SSRS 2005 funny page break issue

I have an SSRS report with some data-driven sections.
In one of the sections, the code generates a table with six options. The first five appear on a page together, then there's a page break, and I would think the sixth option would appear at the top of the page, followed by the rest of the report.
Instead, I get a blank page, the sixth option at the bottom of the page, the rest of the report, and a blank page at the end.
I've checked the width and length of the report and the settings seem to be OK. Any ideas what's going on here?
You need to check if the page width + the margins are equal to or less than the print page width, A4 or A3, etc.
If not this will cause the displayed page to exceed the printed page width creating a blank page then the last row of your tablix.

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:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/337720/katmai-reporting-services-2008-tablix-control-repeat-column-headers-does-not-work#
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
