I designed an SSRS report which has a table that has a numeric column. The table can span over multiple pages. In the table footer I ams showing the total sum for all values of this column, and I am showing this footer on each page of the report. However, I need this total at the end of each page to be a running total - ie it should only show the sum of all values from the beginning of the table (ie the beginning of the report) up to the footer itself. How can this be approached?
Found the solution. I added a running total column, then added a text box to the footer of the report with the expression =last(ReportItems!textbox32.Value)

I have a report group that currently looks like the image. It has row groups as follows:
It grouped in order like this:
Department
Agent
Year
Month
I have removed the columns with department and agent and year. I would like to put the agent and department above the column headers which repeat on each page along with the agent. I tried putting a row above the headers but you can't merge cells when adding a row above there and agent + department is very long. What I want is shown in 2nd image..I put the expression in a text box in the page header but it just repeats the first value on each page and not the actual value.
How to do? I want it above and not beside to save horizontal space.
Check these previous answers of mine. If they don't help, post the report design including group properties and I'll see what I can do.
Grouping in SSRS?
Repeat Row group on top of table as table headers between every groups in SSRS
I have a purchase order form in SSRS. It's grouped on the Purchase Order number. There are four rows in the group footer for totals.
Is there a way to keep all rows in the footer together? That is, if all of them won't fit on the page, that all of them will be printed on the next page.
You have two ways of attempting to accomplish this. Using the KeepTogether property for the selected rows or the entire group
Or when SSRS inevitably doesn't do what you want it to do, you can do the ole Rectangle and Textbox trick. Insert a row above the subtotal that is also a group footer. Then insert a rectangle. Once you do this, you can insert a bunch of text boxes and move them freely around and structure them in the same way you had them formatted the 4 separate rows. It would look something like the below. With this way SSRS couldn't split the row onto multiple pages because its all in the same row. For insurance purposes check the KeepTogether box for this row as well.
How do I remove the header on the last page of Access report?
Add a Group to your report, grouping on the expression =True. That will create a group that includes all records in the report.
Give that group a Group Header, then move the column heading labels from the Page Header to the Group Header. In the Properties for the Group Header, set Repeat Section to Yes so the column headings appear on each page of the group.
When the report prints the Report Footer (with the totals) it has moved past the end of the group (i.e., past the last record in the report) so the column headings should not appear.
I have a situation where i have to display four reports based on checkboxes. So user can select different combination from four reports.
My problem is page breaks. I have tried different options (see below) from which two options (option 1 and 2) does not give page breaks at all whether option 3 gives page breaks for each tablix regardless of you do not want to see that report. Report is giving empty page for each tablix no matter there is no data in that tablix to be displayed.
With option 3 if i select all reports to show then everything is perfect.
I have tried these options
Option 1 (page break does not work)
Main Tablix -> each row : all subreports within rectangle within each row of tablix
option 2 (page break does not work)
Main Tablix -> each row -> Another tablix with group by ID within each row of tablix and then subreport inside each tablix. And I applied page break end on each tablix.
option 3 (page break works but gives empty page for non selected reports)
A List group by ID -> within a single row of this list I have places four tablix group by ID for each subreport.
Option 3 works but gives empty page break for those reports which are not selected. For example from Four reports if you select last two reports to display then you will get two empty pages in the beginning of report and third report on third and fourth report on fourth page which is correct. I have tried hiding tablix using table hidden and group properties hidden but still getting page breaks.
Any help will be much appreciated.
I have resolved this issue. For those who are struggling with same kind of situation, here is my work around.
I placed one list box and then four tables in a row and i placed subreports within these tables. i didn't apply any page break here. I am only showing and hiding tables based on report selection here.
Trick is within subreports.
As there were lots of tables and groupings in each report so i placed one table at the end of the each subreport.
This table should only have one cell. I removed header and 2 extra columns which were not required. Select dataset for this table. I did not want to pass dummy empty dataset so I selected my dataset but I created grouping on a parameter which I was passing from parent report and it has value 1. So now this table will only display 1 empty row. Reduce the height of the table. Plus I removed the border of textbox inside the cell. I checked 'Page break at end' option. In the Hidden expression I used following code which checks if there is any report which is visible after this (current) report. If yes then do not hide this table mean you want page break otherwise hide it mean no page break.
=iif(Parameters!AddReport_2.Value,false
,iif(Parameters!AddReport_3.Value,false
,iif(Parameters!AddReport_4.Value,false
,true)))
This solution works for me.
I would love to hear for a better solution.
I have a report where I've specified the Columns property to 3.
I want the data I have from a single query to spread across these columns.
When I print the report however, I just get a single column that spans across multiple pages till the rows run out of data.
How do I tell rs that I want the data to wrap into the next two columns?
UPDATE: Ok, found a link on technet to give me a better explanation of multicolumns (e.g. newsletter style):
Multicolumn, newsletter-style reports
display report data down multiple
adjacent columns. A newsletter-style
layout applies to the entire report.
When you define more than one column
in a report, Report Designer
calculates the width of the columns in
the report, the width of the report,
and the width of the space between
columns based on the number of
columns. It then displays a reduced
design surface so that you can place
report items on the report that will
fit within the column. Note that the
layout of the entire report must be
placed on the reduced design surface.
Additional columns are displayed so
that you can verify that the number of
columns you defined will fit the page
size dimension. You can adjust page
size, padding, and margins to fit more
columns on the page.
Only PDF and Image renderers support
newsletter-style reports.
I still haven't quite figured out how to make the column wrap...but I'll look into it further on Monday.
I addressed my issue by:
Putting 3 Tablix in my SubReport
Adding a Count Aggregate in my SQL results
Doing % calculations in the Tablix filters
For example, Tablix one has a filter formula like this:
=IIF(Fields!MaxRowNumber.Value <= 10, 10, Fields!MaxRowNumber.Value * .4)
So, if only ten rows are returned, display those ten rows in column 1. If more than ten rows appear, then put 40% of the results in Tablix 1.
I do similar calculations for Tablix 2 and 3 to display the 30% in each Tablix respectively.
Feels like a bit of a hack...but it works.
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.
