I am making a very simple report in SSRS. I am trying to do the following:
On page 1 display following text
THIS IS PAGE 1
On page 2 display following text
THIS IS PAGE 2
I added "Text" field in my report in which I have set the value field to "THIS IS PAGE 1". But I can't find any option to add page break after it. How do I give page break?
I am not sure what is the purpose of having Page Break for you without any content..
but still i tried by adding a table on a report with one column and hide that and it works
Step 1
Create a DataSet with query (commandtext)
Select 'A' AS GRP
UNION
Select 'B' AS GRP
Step 2
Insert a table & set DataSetName as created in step1
Step 3
Click on Table Group & press F4 to Set Page Break Properties value,
Set BreakLocation to Between & PageName to =Fields!GRP.Value (See screenshot for your Ref)
Step 4
From above Step you will see report break into 2 page as there are 2 records from query step 1.. Now next step is to Display Page Number for the insert PageHeader
Step 5
Insert Page Header with textbox expression value as
="THIS IS PAGE " & CSTR(Globals!PageNumber)
Last but not least, Hide unexpected table columns (TextBox) as you just want to display Page Number or Page Header
Output of the report will be like

I am creating an Invoice in SSRS and I need to be able to show a textbox with "Balance Brought Forward" in if the amount of lines in the invoice goes over one page limit. So if i restrict the page to 5 lines and there is 10 - 15 lines which will equate to 2 or 3 pages, I need to be able to show this value from the previous pages total on invoice, but only on the 2nd and 3rd pages not on the 1st page. I am able to code in VB if that is the best way to do it, I am just really stuck on how I would achieve this.
Should this be done before generating the report in SQL or can it be achieved in the report it's self?
Can you put that in a header row and hide it on page 1? Or add the textbox and toggle the hidden property based on the number of rows returned.
IIf ((calculate # rows) > 5, False, True)
My SSRS report contains 4 tables, all of which have line breaks at the bottom.
I'm trying to find a way to tie my text boxes (titles for each table) to only show up on the first page of the start of each table. I'm honestly at a loss for this particular issue.

Originally I had a parameter with a visibility expression and a toggle option to switch between each table, but due to a recent change request the entire report needs to be on one screen.
(=IIF(Parameters!SelectAScreen.Value = "InvoiceDetails",false,true))
I think if you add an extra row above your data (outside the group) and set the RepeatOnNewPage to False, it should work the way you want it too.
Some version of #StevenWhite's comment above is the only way I know to do this. One way to do it is to do a union with a dummy key to force the title row to the top of each table:
select 1 as dummyKey,
'Title text for table1'
union all
select 2 as dummyKey,
<columns> from <table1>
order by dummyKey, <other sort columns>
and repeat for each table's dataset.
If necessary you can also do conditional formatting to make the title row stand out and look like a title.
How to show the total of each page in SSRS report. What I exactly mean is if pageNumber = 1 total should be sum of amount on page 1, if pageNumber = 2 total should be sum of amount of page 2 + total from page 1, etc...
.Have you tried using the running value function?
See https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159136.aspx
You can also use ReportItems![CellName] to enable you to display the value in the report footer if required.
If this does not give what you require and you have a fixed page size eg A4 you can calculate the page totals and Page Numbers as a fields in your data set. This is more powerfull in settings where for example you want to print a set of customer statements in a single print run. Each customer statement would need its own page numbers and totals. Again you can use ReportItems to display these values in the relevant part of the report as they would appear at the detail level of the dataset. In this case you add a hidden field(s) containing the values you require on the detail line and pick them up using ReportItems. You can also force a page break at the end of each Page number group
To repeat the report Header / Footer on each page see this link

To start with go to the footer properties and make sure repeat on first and last page is checked.
In Reporting Services imagine that i have a table with 1 column, that when is printed (2 pages) looks like this:
1st Page
Value
1
2
3
2nd Page
Value
4
5
6
What I need is that when it is printed looks like this:
1st Page
Value
1
2
3
2nd Page
Value
Last Value From Page 1: 3
4
5
6
Briefly what i want is that,in each page of the report (except in page 1) the first value is the last value from previous page...
Is that possible?
Thanks in advance...
There is built-in functionality to display row and column headers on multiple pages. This also tells you how to keep a static row or column visible while scrolling. Note the KeepWithGroup and RepeatOnNewPage properties.
If the rows you would like to repeat across pages are not group headers, you may have to make your own page group. This approach is not very pretty, but you could structure the data with flags to signal its own page breaks, and then manually include a repeat row after the page break. So the data set would look like:
Value PageFlag
1 1
2 1
3 1
3 2
4 2
5 2
6 2
You would add a grouping on PageFlag with a page break for each group.
On the Page Breaks tab, select Between each instance of a
group to add a page break between each instance of a group in the
table.
There is more detail on the KeepTogether property here. You can also read up on Pagination and Page Layout.
I am using SQL Server 2008 and I want to show 1 single field from a table in multiple columns in the report. Just like if I were to print labels. How can I achieve this?
Example:
Instead of printing:
Names Report
Andrea
Austin
Barbara
Bob
Bruno
Cathy
Chis
...
I want to print in columns (say 3 fixed columns):
Names Report
Andrea ---- Bruno ---- Darren
Austin ---- Cathy ---- Francis
Barbara ---- Chis ---- Gabriel
Bob ---- David ---- Gerald
....... ---- ....... ---- .......
Edit: If I run the report and click on "Print Layout" button, I can see multiple columns. Can I set this mode as default?
For Horizontal layout of labels...
One choice is to use the columns property on the report or body elements.
This doesn't always display correctly On reportviewer. I've noticed that even if it displays correctly on your IDE and when you export to PDF. In the report viewer it will display only one column. Also it snakes the labels top to bottom then left to right.
One choice is to use a matrix and group on every 3 rows (if you want 3 columns).
This one is a little complicated.
My solution of choice is to put 3 vertical lists on the page. put the same label in each list. Return the row number in your dataset. Then just filter each list on modulo 3
For example
Result set
RIndex Fname
1 abe
2 burt
3 fred
4 george
Filter expressions
list 1 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =1
list 2 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =2
list 3 -> =Fields!RIndex.Value mod 3 = =0
Result
Abe Burt Fred
George
The method I use is a bit similar as what Vern suggested but differs enough to make it worth mentioning here.
You can combine the ROW_NUMBER with the modulo (%) operator directly in the query to fabricate the column number in which the record should get displayed. Here's an example that generates one while taking a group into account:
declare #numberOfColumns int = 4;
select dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName, dp.ProductAlternateKey
, (ROW_NUMBER() OVER (
PARTITION BY dpc.EnglishProductCategoryName
ORDER BY dp.ProductAlternateKey) + #numberOfColumns - 1) % #numberOfColumns + 1
as DisplayColumn
from dbo.DimProduct dp
inner join dbo.DimProductSubcategory dps on dps.ProductSubcategoryKey = dp.ProductSubcategoryKey
inner join dbo.DimProductCategory dpc on dpc.ProductCategoryKey = dps.ProductCategoryKey;
To get this displayed I'm using nested tables which are then filtered on DisplayColumn.
Have a read through following article for all the details: Creating Multiple-Column Reports
Use the 'Report' menu in Visual Studio and select 'Report Properties'. You can set columns in the 'Layout' tab.
Try this msdn article about newsletter-style reports for more details: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms159107.aspx
This method does have a limitation though so in some cases it might not be applicable:
Only PDF and Image renderers support
newsletter-style reports.
EDIT:
So one approach is to use multiple tablix with a filter that checks RowNumber and accordingly displays particular records in each table.
The other way is called Newsletter-style report (link). This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image. It can be previewed only when you select 'Print Layout' on the Preview tab in Visual Studio. Here is an example:
Create a new report with the foll. dataset: SELECT ID,NAME FROM TABLENAME
Add a new table to the report and select the ID and Name as columns
Click on the tablix and press F4 to edit the tablix properties. In the properties window, change the Size - set the width to 2in
Click on the report area outside the report page boundary and press F4 to edit the report properties. In the properties window, change the Column value to 3, and column spacing value to 0.1
On the report scroll to the right hand side, you will notice that there are 2 new columns (so totally 3 columns on the report - because you selected 3 in step 4 above). Now click on the margin at the start of the column 2 and pull it further to the left to bring it as close to the column 1. This is only to reduce the need for huge page size.
Right click on the report area outside the report page boundary and select Report Properties. Change the Page Size - Set the width to 10in
Preview the report. Now select the 'Print Layout' tab to see the result. This formatting is retained only when report is exported as PDF or Image.
As noted in points 5 and 6 - since the report body flows into multiple columns, you must ensure that the page size is at-least equal to -> ([Original report body size times the number of columns] + all the column spacing values). Otherwise it will look messy.
