I am facing a very weird problem while creating a report in SSRS (I am using sql server 2012 enterprise edition).
This is the structure of my report:
Report columns are in Page Header section, not in tablix header. (I
had to remove report columns from tablix header because I needed my
report to freeze it's header or its column after exporting to excel.
This freezing in excel could be done only when columns are in Page
Header)
Tablix has fields with several groupings.
Now what happens, when I run the report and if any field having a larger string value than the size of tablix cell, it grows badly in width. That makes my report looks ugly. Columns in page header are not aligned with their rows in tablix. Tablix goes out of the report actual width .
For getting rid of this problem, I tried making CanGrow=false of every cell in tablix. I then tried deploying the report, but failed. I got an error: "Report definition is invalid".
The problem is, I can't set CanGrow=false to cells in tablix then how would my report remain stable. How would my columns be aligned with the data in tablix.
I just do not want the cells to grow in width that they are doing right now.
Attaching a screen shot of the report I saw when I have a larger value in a cell. This value is a whole word.
Please help me out. Any help appreciated.

I have Multiple Tablixes in My SSRS Report all pointing to the same dataset but have different groupings. I want My first Tablix(which has the summary data) want to be displayed on all the pages of the SSRS Report. Anyone please help me how can i achieve this one?
In SSRS you have the ability to put a tablix, inside of a tablix. So assuming you setup your sections appropriately, you should be able to achieve this.
Put your tablix that you want to repeat inside of a single header row, then set the header row of the parent table to repeat on each page.
EDIT:
I have inherited an SSRS report which had an existing tablix on it - I want to add a further tablix below to display data from another data set as the format is very slightly different - each tablix displays a different kind of sales for a certain customer.
I have added the second tablix and the report seems fine within the report designer renderer, but when I access it via MS Edge directly from the URL the first tablix overlaps the second and obscures it from view.
I have set a page break at the end of the first tablix, and at the start of the second, and again in the designer renderer it works fine and pages, but in MS Edge it overlaps across the page break. In Chrome it renders OK.
The issue I have is I am displaying this SSRS report in a Web Browser Control on an access for an it renders just like it does in MS Edge so it looks screwed up.
It is like the first tablix just runs over into page 2 rather than making the extra content of itself page 2, and the second tablix then on page 3. I don't even really need the pages as ideally it would all be one long report with a vertical scroll, but this overlap issue means I have been trying to force it to split.
Any other way I can stop the first tablix obliterating the second one?
I had a similar problem recently (I found your question while searching for an answer). I didn't want to go to all the trouble of creating a sub report and eventually tracked down the cause of the issue for my case which may be the same as what you were experiencing.
The issue was that my first Tablix was setup with a height of 2.7cm. My second one's top was 2.66781cm. That caused both of them to overlap with each other when the report was rendered. When I changed the top of the second Tablix to 2.7cm the issue was resolved.
I'm trying to create a sort of master subreport that I can use as a header for other reports.
The subreport has 2 image logos in the left and right corner. I insterted the images in the body of the subreport.
My struggle here is to make it as universal that it works with all reports.
Some of the destination reports even though they are all A4 size reports, have different size report bodies. For example, the destination report is a bit more narrow than the subreport with header, in the preview I end up with a wider header than destination report body, the header clearly takes the width from the header subreport. Is there a setting or a way that I could set the width of the subreport header to fit to the destination report width?
The only possible workaround currently I can think of is to play with the margins etc in each of the destination reports
Easy way to handle this: Use an internal parameter that defaults to false to toggle the visibility of elements like title blocks and images.
When including the report as a subreport, set that parameter to true and you'll have a stripped down data-element only version. Then put titles and other formatted layout around the subreport in your master report. That way you can make everything line up there.
I have a report that has a sub-report.
On my main report, the sub-report displays the headers and the data but the data is SPLIT by 2 blank pages when I do a PDF export of it. Everything is fine if I preview the report but when I save it as PDF, there are 2 blank pages in between the sub-report results.
The tablix for the sub-report is set to "keep together" and this has not helped.
I figured this out. If the report is too wide, it'll put that blank space below each page of the report.
The fix was the make sure the width of the report was the right size.
I have an SSRS report with 5 Tablix data regions. All but first tablix, have "Notes" column which can have huge amounts of text in it. I have set CanGrow properties of these cells to be "True".
But when I export the report to an excel file, row size has not increased to show full contents of Notes. I see that, it works perfectly when I keep only one Tablix. It fails only when I have more than one Tablix.
Any help? Thanks!
When have multiple tablix in your report, after you exporting into excel, it will automatically keep the tablix original position and size to other tablixs. So it may not change the row height. I think this issue is more related to Excel cell setting.
