I have a report that I'm having a bit of an issue with. The keep together appears to work sometimes, and not at others. On top of that, due to the attempt at the separation of records in the report, the alignment is off. Here's the rdlc inside visual studio:
Here's page 1:
Page 1 looks fine. I'm just showing this as a reference. Page 2:
Now, with page 2, you can see that the pink header bar is right underneath the pink line, which is exactly how it should be. But looking at page 3:
You can see several things happening here. 1.) The record starts far below the pink line. 2.) At the bottom, you can see that the whole record is not on the page. The rest of it is on page 4 (this is the most important issue). Now, I've turned keep together set to true for just about every single thing in the rdlc that I could think of, yet it's still separating on some records. What I've got set up is that the record is a table(with a grouping that has keep together set to true, the table itself has keep together set to true, and the table is the child of a rectangle which has keep together set to true as well. This is my first time working with rdlc reports, and I fear I may be either overthinking this, or just missing something silly. But, how can I ensure the keep together works properly, and how can I ensure that the record starts in the appropriate location?

Having a report with 5 different tables and what i want is to have each of these tables starting at the top of a new page. These tables are currently in a rectangle each which has a hide/show expression. Surrounding these rectangles is a list which is doing the correct grouping for the tables and also doing page breaks after each group(3 groups in total: Association, Organization, and Type. There are 5 different types, one for each table(there's a filter on the tables).
When showing my report in regular preview mode there is no problem but when doing so in print layout preview I get the third table starting on the third page but not at the top and after that I dont know what is happening... all page breaks just stops working. Sometimes whole empty pages are rendered.
This is how the report layout looks like
This is some of the resulting pages (not in order)
Just so you know, I have been trying consumewhiteSpace, Checking the height and width on my report Height = 15,1cm and width 24cm and its just a horisontal A4 page.
The grey color is the list-rectangle. Why is it acting up like that and how do I make it work?
So it looks like the report is fixed. Don't really know what I did but I redid the report(like a houndred times before), really made sure that all the page breaks, filters, report margins and visibility conditions (not only in the tables visibility propery but also on every static row under advanced mode) were right. I made some table changes for example using stepped table instead of nested. And found some wrongs I had made previous considering the tables layout (guess everything has a purpos even hard work and long wait...).
Thanks for the help though!
(This is for SSRS 2012)
Hey guys. I know this really isn't the way to do things, but I am just completely done struggling with this.
Here is a zipped-up .rdl file for a report I'm working on: http://www.flowdex.net/files/amalgam_rdl.zip. Included in the .zip file is a .pdf with a typical output of that report.
I am getting several phantom page breaks that I simply cannot understand. I have scoured the internet, including stack overflow, and none of the regular suggestions have worked. I have made sure everything fits within the dimensions of a page, margins included, and have looked at the properties of every element in the report. Nothing gives ANY CLUE WHATSOEVER why a blank page must be inserted within a tablix that goes past one page, or why there is a page break in-between the two tablixes.
I don't know how viewing my .rdl will work... obviously you're not getting a database, so you won't have any way to test it. All I'm asking is for someone to take a quick glance at how everything is formatted and let me know if anything major stands out.
Sorry for the terseness, and I guess I'd understand if this question gets ignored / rejected. I just do not understand why this is so difficult. Teaching myself PHP was a million times easier than finding a stupid page break in SSRS.
Thanks in advance, and apologies again for being rude. This is crazy frustrating.
It looks to me like what you should do is take the DIV6 image and [Seiten] move them over to the left a little, then take the report body and collapse it to be right up against them. Right now, with your margins I think you are going over and it creates that phantom page thing.
Put visible borders onto everything. Start with the obvious: tablix's,text boxes, lists, images but also add to Report, Header, Footer, Body etc.
Make them all a different colour. You should then see which object is spilling onto the other page.
Note: adding a border adds a pixel (or point) to the width and height, so make sure you adjust for that when removing them or identifying the culprit.
Plan B:
From the screenshot, your empty page does not have a Batch:[Name] which indicates it could the way you are calculating your group maybe causing the problem (if it was due to pushing an element too wide, the header should have the same [Name] as the previous page.
It seems so basic and surely resolved by SSRS 2014 SP1 but I can't find a way in Print Layout (for PDF ultimately, but this is simple display) to allow a tablix to render at the top of following pages when a text box displays above it on the first page (eg. address details which would not be wanted on every subsequent page filled by tablix results). This results in unprofessional wasted white space above the results on every page after the first.
The tablix seems "stuck" so it only starts on the page wherever you put it on the design layout (using Report Builder because SSDT not playing with VS2015, but same things should apply). That's when the text box above it naturally doesn't even display on the subsequent pages - why would it, it's done its job and is not repeateable! After all, it's not in a header.
Have set the textbox to CanShrink=true but its still holding the space (because it's content remains, fair enough).
Also tried hiding the textbox (and should be able to do this conditionally on subsequent pages) but whitespace is still there, which is odd and perhaps shows the real limitation.
Applied ConsumeContainerWhitespace=true on report level (you would have thought that would do the trick) but no joy.
Even put both textbox and tablix in a same Rectangle so they become "peers" and maybe control the whitespace better, but nope.
Would prefer the header to repeat and the textbox address to only be on the first page, but another annoying limitation is that for headers there's only a "PrintOnFirstPage" option, not one to print on first page only! Of course, a workaround for that like SSRS Report Builder - Only Show Header On First Page (With Page Numbers) is to move textbox into the body area and hide, but as noted, that still leaves the stupid whitespace on every subsequent page - d'oh!
Surely there's a way to resolve this basic requirement, or maybe I'm missing something obvious?
EDIT: Remembered I never had this problem before and realised it's now only because there are multiple Projects per Worker (sorry, not enough rep yet for pic). If I choose a parameter period with only one project, the line descriptions will continue on the top of any subsequent pages. Only if the tablix header group (Project: [TaskDesc] and Worker) changes does a new page start - but with the tablix at the original page 1 layout location (ie under the textbox), not at the top of the subsequent page where it should be. Hope this clarifies - looks like a bug, odd tablix behaviour, but maybe a workaround?
If you want a non-repeating TextBox, just make sure it's outside of a repeating report element. This means outside of a Tablix or Rectangle.
Just place the TextBox at the top of your page and place the Tablix/Rectangle below it. When the Tablix/Rectangle grows beyond the maximum page height, it will break and continue at the top of a new page.
If you simply think there is too much empty space at the top of the page, try fiddling around with the page margins.
I'm working on creating a report for a client. I've attached an image to show what I'm expecting (the left side), and what I'm getting after the first page (the right side). The Group Detail section is comprised of a table. I've tried adjusting the Keep Together properties of the table, the group, the section. Just about everywhere I could think of. It prints just fine on page one, and then on page 2, starts getting funky and cut off. I've even set a pagebreak at the end of the Detail Section. Any ideas or suggestions? I've also posted this over on the Telerik forums. However, after I did so, I was told by friends/co-workers that answers there can often be slow in the coming.
When we use Table in Telerik Reporting, we should embed Table in Panel in design time.
so that it can properly fit on page when it gets previewed in ReportViewer and we will restrict a table to being cut or go to second page.
hoping someone can help.
my report in SSRS 2008 R2 is randomly creating a blank page on the rendered report (and when it's exported to Word). I've investigated it here and Google and tried everything that's been suggested.
My Page Setup under Report Properties is Letter (portrait) 8.5in x 11in, with 0 for all 4 of the margins (I've tried using .25in for all 4, same results).
the size of the body, etc. on the report is 8in x 3.3094 -- nothing is over 8in in width.
"Keep together on one page if possible" is unchecked for all the elements on the report (Lists, tables, body). It produces the same result if it is checked, too.
The ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace on the report is set to TRUE.
Again, when it's rendered on the web browser, I have 6 pages that are fine, then a blank, then several more single pages, then another blank.
Oddy enough, when I view it (on the development machine, not on the web) in PRINT mode, there are no blank pages at all (which is good).
can anyone help?
thanks!
It really sounds like some element is just over the edge of the margin and is creating that blank page. Since it doesn't appear after every page is there any common element that is present on the page before the blank ones that might be near the edge?
I think the HTML renderer must have slightly different margins (or something) when compared to the print renderer in SSDT. Unfortunately for these kinds of issues in SSRS the best way to solve it is to go through all of the possible offending report elements and make sure that they aren't going over the edge.
I'd recommend just moving EVERYTHING away from the right margin and seeing if it fixes it, and then moving things back one by one to figure out where the problem is. Either that or you can make the report margins smaller and see if that fixes it. Even if you need to revert them afterwards and still find the offending element, it could be a good way to test what the problem is.
This could also be caused by an element in the report having the "Insert Page Break Before/After" option enabled. You should check the elements that appear before/after the page break to ensure that option is not set. However, since the issue doesn't happen in all rendering modes I don't think this is the most likely issue.
Figured it out. I clicked on the down arrow on the Row Group, picked Group Properties, and unchecked the Page Break Options/Between Each Instance of a Group and there's no more blank pages :)
thanks for everyone's help!
