I have a report that already has an existing header. I need to add some info to just the cover page header.
So I added everything in a rectangle. Then hid the rectangle on everything but the first page.
=Globals.PageNumber <> 1
That works... but now I have a giant white space in place of the rectangle. The rectangle contains images and some textboxes.
Any idea?
Is there actual data on the first page? If there doesn't need to be, try putting the 'Extra' items rectangle in the body of the report and add a page break afterward. Then, this rectangle will basically be a cover page for the report.
I ended up moving the rectangle to the first page and then hiding the header on only the first page.

i need to create a footer that can stay at the bottom of every pages of the report, but i can't use the standard function because i need to hide some element before it self.
I hope that i've explained correctly!
Somebody can help me?
If I've understood you correctly, you should be able to do this by creating rectangles to hold your report content.
If you need a header, body and footer then you would need 3 rectangles, if you only need the main body and a footer then 2 rectangles.
For simplicity, let's say you page is 29cm high and the bottom 6cm will contain the footer.
You create a rectangle that is 23cm high and wide enough to hold the elements you need in it. Then your seconds rectangle immediately below will be 6cm.
Within each rectangle, place you report elements (text boxes, tables etc).
Note: If you already have the report elements in your report, do not drag them over the rectangle as this will literally overlay them, instead, select everything you ned, then cut them. Then click in the rectangle to make it active and paste them, this way the rectangle will be the container. If you are creating the elements from new then you can add them within the rectangle as normal.
Once all your body and footer elements are in position, change the 'ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace' property of Report to true. This property will prevent the rectangle from expanding as the number of rows in a table gets larger, as it will use the space in the container first.
I am trying to incorporate the following image into the cover page of my report.
It's currently saved as a PNG file with dimension 1275 x 1650.
Like a lot of online posts suggested, I
* inserted a rectangle
* set the image as the background image
And here are my properties for the rectangle.
When I rendered my report to PDF, the image was splitted
into multiple blank pages and the bottom of the graphic (with logo and URL)
didn't even show.
How can I make sure this graphic is displayed fully on only the first page?
I can't tell if you have other objects on your cover page, but here's what I did to get this working correctly.
Add an image object to your report.
Make sure the margins are set fairly low(I used .25in for top, bottom, left, and right).
With the margins set at .25in, I set the image object to a size of 8in x 10.5in to fill the remaining space on the page.
In the image object properties, set padding options all to zero and Display to "Fit to size".
Now the trick here, is to put the image object in the very top left corner and resize the report to the exact size of the image object -- no whitespace in the design view. For me, this returns a single page report with the entire image shown on a single page.
I have a report that looks good in view report, but when I print the report there is an extra space between the body and the footer.
Any help would be appreciated.
Screen shot
Don't use a footer if you don't want the white space. A footer will always appear at the bottom of a page and a header at the top. Move the content of your footer to the body of your report by either creating another tablix underneath or inserting a new row outside of all your current row groups. To get the page break select the last (bottom) row in your body, select 'tablix properties', then on the general tab select 'add page break after.'
Okay seems issues due to those hidden rows.
Do one thing, copy all your tablix/textbox or whatever the controls you have used inside the body part and add one rectangle with the same size it was previously using for your tablix.
Now, paste your copy part inside the rectangle and check.
It will definitely work.
Let me know, if you need more help on this.
Thanks.
I am using reporting services 2012 and want to display a group of elements at the bottom of the last page.
I have tried putting this in the footer and hiding the elements for all but the last page, however this doesn't work very well as there is a large blank space at the bottom of all of the preceding pages.
If there was a way of aligning the elements to the bottom of a page that would work, but I cant see any way of doing that. If there was a way to push the elements to the bottom of the page using a rectangle that has a dynamic height, that would also work, but I also cannot find a way of doing that.
Any suggestions?
Unfortunately, page headers and footers must be one constant size in SSRS. That is why you are getting all of that whitespace, and as far as I know, there is no workaround for this.
However, what you can do is page break at the end of your main table / report. Then have another table display the elements you want. Make this second table the height of a full page and put the elements at the bottom. Go into the Tablix Properties and check "Keep together on one page if possible".
If the second table doesn't work, try a subreport.
If you want to have the footer on the same page as the last page of data, this doesn't work. The only way I know of to do that is a major hack: check how many rows come back from the database and calculate how much space they will need to display. Then at the end calculate how big of a rectangle you need to make in between your main table and your second table to push it to the bottom of the page.
I am working on SSRS Report,
But on other page this distance is not maintained. Any way to resolve this?
Put the space into the Page Header section.
So if (for example) your Page Header is completely occupied by a text box, extend the bottom of the page header down so that there is now a gap between the bottom of the text box and the end of the page header, and move the table up so that the top of the table is flush with the end of the page header - like so:
Header repeat in every page
so you can add empty textbox in the end header and fill it color white enter image description here
