SSRS Repeat page header on every page - reporting-services

I have a rectangle and inside the rectangle I have a few tables, text boxes, and then there is one table that contains just the data for the page header.
The rectangle and all subsequent tables are grouped by an id and in between each group is a page break.
I'm having trouble getting the page header to repeat for each new page within the group. When one of the tables inside the rectangle has so many rows it pushes the report to another page as expected so the report could be 2 pages long etc.. and I can't get the page header to show on the subsequent page. Only on the first or second page of the report etc... based on where in the rectangle I put the table that contains the page header data, this table is hidden when the report is run and is only providing the data for the page header.
Is there any way I can get the data in the table to repeat on every page so that it displays in every pages' page header or another way of getting the data to repeat on every page so that for every page within my group it shows the same page header.
I see that a tablix has the "repeat header row on each page" but this doesn't seem to work because its not this tablix that is causing multiple pages to happen but rather the other tablixes and textboxes and its not always the same one. Any of them could roll over to the next page so this setting won't work for my scenario.

Repeating a page header on every page is not possible when the page header includes items that are referenced within the report body and those items do not exist on that specific page.

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.

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 - Show/Hide group-row based on page number

I need to show/hide a group-header-row based on page number. No way I could access the page number inside the group to add an expression based on the page number. All I need is to show a group-header-row only from second page (hide the row in first page).
I'm using Visual Studio 2015, SSRS 2016.
Everything works fine except hiding the Group Header 2 from Page 1.
Generally the build in functions =Globals!OverallPageNumber and Globals!OverallTotalPages can only be used in page header and page footer. This might be caused, that the processing of page header and footer are different from the body area.
There is also no workaround.
You cant store the value of =Globals!OverallPageNumber in a report variable, you cant reference with ReportItems!PageNumber.Value and you cant put the function into the code section.
So what you can do is, copy the tablix from the first page also into the second page and hide the group header on the copied tablix on the second page.

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
