I am having issues recreating an old report with SSRS. The original report would pull about 5-6 records from SQL, and then have a corresponding 2 page report for each record. This would be easy if I could just create an individual report for each record, which is possible, but is not what is being asked of me.
I need to be able to have 2 pages for each record I return. For example:
Page 1 will have a different table than page 2 for the same record and will be view-able as:
record 1:
page 1,2
record 2:
page 3,4
record 3:
page 5,6
No grouping is necessary for records. They just need multiple pages to repeat.
Someone I work with suggested a sub-report, but I'm not sure how that would work.
I use the report builder to create reports.
Thanks for any help. I will gladly clarify if necessary.
The nature of SSRS is that it grows based on whatever data is available when it is run. In order to force it to take up two pages per record, you'll need to set a placeholder. One way to do that is to have a table that spans two pages. Make sure the "CanShrink" property is set to False for the cells in at least one of the columns. You can remove the borders to make the column invisible if the length of the report varies.
Next, you can add columns as needed for your other report data. It doesn't really matter if you want to use a subreport or not, either way will work.

I am trying to achieve something in SSRS but not able to do so. I have around 3000 records in my table, but when I try to Preview that in SSRS report it is taking 103 pages to display. I tried to have two tables on the same page pointing to same dataset, but one table shows odd records and the other table shows even records with the help of rownumber(). With this I reduced my pages to 27.
I want the data to be displayed serially in one table, and when it reaches the end of the page it should transfer the next record to another table on the same page. I am attaching a table that I want to include in my report.
Alter the white outer space in design view to the minimum.
Go into report properties and select columns , amend value to 2.
I have a requirement on a report that requires me to replicate a certain page based on a certain data. For example Process page = 5 so therefore the page on which it has the process must be replicated 5 times. Is this possible programmatically on SSRS?
Thanks
As #Filburt pointed out. You can do this with a subreport.
You need to build a dataset that will contain one row per page to be repeated, so in this case just a list of numbers 1 to 5 will suffice. Then add a table to your report that uses this dataset as it's source. Make the table one column wide and insert your subreport into the only cell. This will produce a 5 row table each of which will contain a copy of your subreport.
First, you need to duplicate the results that needs to be replicated:
Oracle duplicate row N times where N is a column
Then you can add page group:
How to do page grouping in ssrs?
I have designed and tested a report and it's working fine.
After some refinements, we manage to reduce it so it takes only 1/8 of a page, so at 2 per "row" we can fit 4 rows in a regular A4 page.
Now, a requirement dropped out of nowhere saying that this report must be printed multiple times in a same page.
Is there a way to re-utilize my previous report as a template, maybe throw it into a "foreach"?
EDIT 1
I've managed to use the "subreport", what i need now is a way to add them on the fly, based on how many rows the dataset returns...
If each of the 8 reports has the same parameters, you can just create 8 subreports in one report.
A simple solution would be to place the subreport 8 times on your main report and define expressions whether to make them visible based on a parameter you provide.
It's not really that dynamic, but it'll get the job done. As you only want a single page filled, it shouldn't be much trouble.
I am using ReportBuilder 10 in Delphi 2006 with an Access 2000 database. I am trying to create a report using a filtered query.
Telerik Report : Starch line in Detail band or Add Empty rows
Repeat a vertical line on every page in Report Builder / SSRS
Similar to the questions above, I am trying to add empty rows (or records) in the ReportBuilder's details band after the filtered query records. Until it fills the page. My details band is like an excel table and it can take 25 rows per page. If I have 30 records, the first page is good. But the second page will have 5 records. Then, a huge gap will appear between the details and footer bands. That looks bad.
I tried to search for this, but nothing comes up. Only the second link above. But no solution I can use was posted.
I hope I properly explained my problem to you guys. Any help would be appreciated.
I don't know ReportBuilder well enough to give specifics, but I suggest
Adding 25 blank rows to the report's query result. You should be able to do this using a series of UNION commands. Make sure any sorting actions place these at the end of the results.
Create a boolean variable isBlankLine that is updated for each line of the details as it is being evaluated for layout. This variable simply is set to true if the record is a blank line (one of the lines added in step 1.)
Create another boolean variable isReportEnd that is evaluated on the page footer. This is set to true if isBlankLine is true, otherwise it is set to false.
Finally, for each detail line, suppress the line if isReportEnd is true.
This will allow the page to fill in with blank lines and suppress any additional pages. The only catch I can think of is that if the report ends with exactly 25 records, such that the first line of the next page will be a blank line, then your last page will be blank.
In Report Builder 3.0 i have created a table displaying information about a list of employees in an organization. The idea is to have one page per employee. The employees can be selected from a drop-down in the report and selecting multiple employees should result in one page per employee. Right now my table is expanding including the information for all selected employees in the same table. Can i make the table only include records from one employee, break to the next page and repeat the table on this page with the next employee?
Thanks
My answer to a similar question yesterday may help.
The report won't repeat; the table won't repeat; but you can have rows of the table repeat. You can set the report up to have a page break before every row or you can create groups of rows that are displayed on separate pages.
To answer your question directly and specifically:
Can i make the table only include records from one employee, break to the next page and repeat the table on this page with the next employee?
Yes, you can make the table only include records from one employee, and you can include page breaks. No you can not repeat the same table in the same report without executing the report multiple times. One way to do this is by using a subreport. Take a look at the answer I typed up yesterday.
Use a List. Make it the size of your page. When you click on the center of the list, it will give you Rectangle properties. Set PageBreak = end. Make sure Disabled = False.
