I have a barchart which is oriented horizontally. Usually it is ok but if
there are too many items, then it gets all cramped up. So I need to set a
cut off point of say 10 items, after which the remainder will be put on a
new page. Here is an image of the chart....
What I have done so far is to add a List control and specify the Grouping as
=Floor((RowNumber(Nothing)-1)/10)
but it appears that some data is missing as the Dataset returns many rows for
an item and uses Average and other functions to create the items.
There is also a PageBreak property for the chart element and it has a 'BreakLocation'
one selection of which is 'Between', but it doesn't seem to do anything, as there
is no where to specify 'between what' it would make the pagebreak.
Any ideas. I have searched the web and found only 2 references to this, one which
uses the List Item grouping and another which references some sample code from a book
which uses an old version of Visual studio.
Drag a List control on the page, click on it and go to Tablix properties and set it to the same dataset as the chart. Then go to the grouping section and choose 'Group Properties', I added this under 'Row Groups' Click Add under 'Group expressions' and use an expression to group...like =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/10)

I have simplified my problem as follows:
A tablix with 2 columns dataset: Code (a, b, c, ...), and Value (random < 100).
Make a paginating group of 5 rows from the detail, steps here.
Add an additional row inside the group, merge all columns, put rectangle to hold a Chart pointing to the same dataset. This is Chart1.
Add another row outside the group, to hold another copy of the exact Chart above. This is to later help the interactive sorting to work on the details beyond the boundary of the groups. This is Chart2. The final design will appear like this:
Create an interactive sorting for the column Code following this:
The final work shall look like this, where you can navigate the pages, while also have the 'sliding window' effect for viewing the chart, that is: Page 1 is a-e, Page 2 is f-j, etc.. Note that the interactive sort is also honored.
For simplicity, please download my RDL here.
Now, my problem: I have to make Chart1 to be on top of the Tablix1.
Doing so will make the column header of Tablix1 to be sandwiched between the Chart1 and the details. This will make the Interactive Sort to behave incorrectly, that each page have its own state of Interactive Sorting. How to solve this? Modified RDL here.
This link solves the question by doing a self referencing Drill Trough by the click of a cell or image. The Action will pass the parameter to toggle between Ascending and Descending sorting order of the Tablix.
Combining the above the solution with this other link, we can keep the number of tablix stays to one, regardless of the number of columns to sort.

I need to float a list (if anyone is familiar with HTML / CSS they will understand). I'll try to elaborate.
I am using a report to create labels to specific dimensions. I need an 8 x 2 list.
I've created my list but the list does not appear on the left and right hand side of the page, it simply renders 8 lists down the left of the page and goes onto the next page.
This can be achieved within Access 2010, you change the page layout to have two columns, this is what I need.
I have created an image to try and explain what I mean.
Using HTML/CSS in reporting services is a little more difficult than you might expect. Based on what you are trying to do, I'd recommend a simpler method using Report Builder's built in tools.
Put two tablixes next to each other horizontally (Lists might work the best, since the labels appear to be the same size) and link them to the same dataset. Then under Row Groups view the Group Properties and set the Visibility expression of the left tablix to only show odd row numbers: =IIF(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, True, False). Use the same expression for Visibility on the right tablix but switch true and false around to only show even rows.
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.

This is driving me nuts. I've looked at all the relevant MSDN tutorials but they talk about 'data field drop zones' and how a 'Add Calculated Series' menu option should be there but it's not, and no screenshot is provided to show what a 'data field drop zone' is. This is the menu I get when I "right-click on a field in the data field drop zone":
The frustrating thing is I know I've seen this calculated series stuff before, but I can't find it again, it's not in the 'Series Properties' dialog that I can see, and I can't find a tutorial showing how to find this feature. I'm guessing you can only have a calculated series on certain chart types, or I don't have some flag turned on or something, but I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.
Can you tell me how I can add a line showing the median of my data to a chart in Report Builder 2.0? I think I can do this by adding a 'Moving Average' via a 'Calculated Series', but I can't find how to add that.
Edit: on a different chart, the 'Add Calculated Series' menu option was available. It was a stacked column chart and the series I right-clicked on was an expression that used RunningValue.
I had to remove the series group (from the 'data field drop zone' on the right side of the chart) so that all I had was 1) a category group (bottom of the chart) and 2) a data series (top of the chart). Then I could right-click on the data series at the top of the chart and 'Add Calculated Series' was a menu option.
I solved it by making the groups as individual series and then a combined series that i set to hidden. I was then able to make the calculated series from the hidden series.
