I have a report with has 2 rectangles side by side. I want to scale both of the same to the same size as when the number of rectangles increase.
How do I scale both of them equally as the number increases even if data in the Rectangles in not displayed(Null Values)
ScreenShot Below
Modified the "CanGrow" and "CanShrink" properties to "false" in All the textbox in both 2 rectangles
CanGrow=False
CanShrink=False
This should work.

I have a report with a tablix in it. I just need to stay the tablix in a fixed position and shouldn't push down other elements down it. If say there are 4 rows which will be visible in the specified space and if more then it should not be visible and shouldn't push down other elements.
I tried several ways to prevent
Added tablix inside a rectangle(act as a container) so if it grouped it
will not push down other elements (didn't work)
Enable consume white space in report=true (didn't work)
Keep items together property is set to true in rectangle (didn't work)
Is there any other way to not to pushdown elements in the report even if the tablix gives more rows. It should only show the rows in the mentioned size.
Edit : 1 (7/28/2018)
All the three elements below is pushed down if the table has more rows.
Either I have to fit the rows in this table by reducing the size automatically if possible or It should not push down the elements.
Also if the tablix has less row the elements will move up. I just need to keep the elements (Expr) should stay in the same position.
You still didn't post your design but anyway, here is what I think you want.
The basic idea to to set the area you want you table to cover by using a rectangle of the same size. Then we will reduce the row heights within reason as the number of rows in the table increases. As you cannot directly change a row height, we can get round this by setting the row height to be very small and adjusting the font, as long as the can grow option is on the cells will grow to fit the font size, giving the effect of changing the row height.
Basic steps.
Create your report and add a rectangle that is the maximum size you want your table to be. In my example it's 38mm high.
Create a table inside the rectangle. I find this easier to create it outside then cut and paste it inside, simply dragging it over the rectangle will not work.
Position your additional text boxes, under the rectangle as desired. Set 'Consume Container WhiteSpace' on in the report properties.
Next we need to decide what the maximum and minimum font sizes are that acceptable. In this basic example I only use 3 sizes, 10pt, 12pt and 14pt. If you want to use more then you could write an expression to scale the fonts more accurately but you get the idea.
You'll need to determine the maximum number of rows you can fit into the rectangle when the minimum font size is used, in my case it's 5 rows at 10pt font. Your query will need to take this number into account and never return more rows than this.
On the table, the click row selector for the detail row (this basically selects all the cells in the row). Next, change the font size property to an expression. In this simple example I used this.
=SWITCH(
Parameters!topx.Value <3 , "14pt",
Parameters!topx.Value <5 , "12pt",
True, "10pt"
)
Next set the row height, choose any cell on the row and set the height to something small, I used 4mm but it doesn't matter as long as its' smaller then you will ever show.
In my example, for testing I added a 'topx' parameter and filtered the dataset using this, but this is only for testing.
The final design looked like this. I added a background colour to the rectangle so you can see how it remains static until it's filled.
Then running with various rows looks like this
finally, only if I exceed my maximum (5 rows in this case) does the text below move down.
You could include a column (let's call it RowNumber) in your dataset that shows the row number of the data. Then in your Tablix filter, you can set the filter to show only values from that "RowNumber" column that are less than or equal to the number of rows you want to display in the tablix.
You can use the same concept to limit the number of rows returned in your query, but without knowing how you are getting the data, it is not possible to help with that.
If you want your report to be that static, why not take a screenshot of the data and include that as an image in your report?
No serious reporting tool will "ignore" records that you pass to it using a Dataset, so that's the place where you will have to "ignore" all unwanted data yourself. Restrict the data in the Dataset to only 4 rows (maybe using SELECT TOP 4 ...).
Created bar chart in SSRS in which horizontal axis labels are coming vertically, which i made them vertically by setting rotation 90 degree, but now problem is their height. how i will control the height of the labels.
Please any one know the property which will control the height tired to find but no luck.
If you click in the Chart Area, there are properties for CustomInnerPlotPosition. Within these properties, set Enabled to true and try adjusting the Height to your needs. These properties control where the inner chart area should start and how much space it should take up, as percentages of the whole chart.
However, it seems that the label fitting does not take these properties into account. If your labels keep the same font size etc. you may find that part of them expand off the chart's edges. You may need to adjust some other settings too, or use shortened labels, but the CustomInnerPlotPosition properties should help get the result you want.

I have textbox inside a table cell (this is the default configuration) and value in the text box's text is empty and it used purely as a toggle button for a child grouping. In the design image below I have colour coded for emphasis the 6 grouping levels in red (one pink). When I run it is all fine there is a single row of data, I click the toggle and the child group shows as this is the way I have set it up. I wanted to add something else to the cell that contained the toggle (i.e. the pink cell) so I changed my textbox to a rectangle and I added first in a sense the original textbox (placed in the top left hand corner of the rectangle) and ran the report and now the rectangle's height has grown to 2 rows at run time as supposed to one row (height of the textbox) at design time - why? Is there a way to prevent this?
NB: the run time screen shot is me changing the height and width of the rectangle to an arbitrary size greater than the width and height of the textbox. So when the report is run the width stays the same the height doubles.
Design Time
With 6 textboxes (NB: each box represents a different hierarchical (drill down) level)
After I change the 2nd textbox (counting right to left) to Rectangle (arbitrary height and width) + Textbox
Run Time
(NB: height of rectangle doubles in size at runtime compared to design time)
I have graph report that is printing a lot of data on X axis. The output from the report is not adequate, there is not enough space between two points. For example if there 20 points to be displayed on one page, user can not see complete caption, they are overlapping. I want to set min space between points and print this report on more pages.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
There are a number of things you can do to help solve this issue.
1) In the chart axis properties you can set the label rotation so the labels appear vertically.
2) The other thing you can do is set an expression for the DynamicWidth property in the chart properties, based on the number of points on the x - axis
3) Make sure the interactive report size is wide enough to accommodate the maximum width of the chart.
The images below show dynamic width working
I love math, but I've been banging my head on this for a while.
I'm trying to fill a non square space with in HTML5 canvas with squares. I know the container width (W) and height (H). And I know the number of squares to use (n)
But the size of the square is what were trying to figure out. And how to draw it then. The squares should be just big enough to cover all the space, but it doesn't have to be sqrt(n) / sqrt(n). It should fill as much space as possible.
Any ideas on where to look to solve this?
Thanks!
A first estimate would be dividing the area W*H by the number of squares n. That will give you the area for each square, and taking the square root of that area will give you its length.
But that only works in cases where the rectangle can be exactly filled by these squares. If you might need some overlap beyond the rectangle, then you might have to adjust either the lengths or the number of squares. So suppose you want to cover your rectangle (i.e. fill a slightly larger rectangle) with no more than n squares, choosing the squares as small as possible under these circumstances. Do the above computation. Suppose that tells you that you'll need 3.75 rows and 6.23 columns of squares. Then you know that more rows or columns will require more than n squares. So you'll have to assume 3 rows and 6 columns. You can compute square lengths of H/3 and W/6 and take the larger of these.
Your scenario often is unsolvable.
For example, consider a 2 x 3 area. You can't fit either 5 or 7 squares into this area.
