I have a long report in SSRS with 3 tablix. I would like to have it in a single page when viewed in the browser, but when printed i want to have each tablix on it's own page.
Is it possible to define page breaks that only applies to printing?
you can make conditional page breaks but I think that this issue that you want to do is impossible.
see if this might help, the idea behind was to insert a text box in my footer and to print this text box only on even pages:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber Mod 2,True,False)
Let me know if this works

Is it possible to display a page header only for the first page of a report and not have it repeat on subsequent pages?
I am trying to simple display the title of the report at the top of the first page and do not want it repeat. I know this is probably a simple question but kind of new to SSRS
Thanks in advance
If you really want to do it, you can do it with this expression. Put a textbox in the header and write the following code:
=IIF(Globals!OverallPageNumber = 1, "This is the header only for Page 1", Nothing)
I think that what you're after is a "Report Header". Right-click in the gray area next to the report surface and select "add Page Header".
I am formatting reports and while previewing the page is overflowing
I would like to have Tablix and 2 charts on a single page.
Please see below:
I made sure there are no Page breaks in either Tablix or the charts...
I checked Report -> Report Properties -> Landscape and also made sure
margins are 0.5in and width > height.
Please let me know what am I missing here?
Thanks

Check the size of the body of the report, does this go over the landscape size? If it does it will go over onto 2 pages when you preview the report.
I have a report is ssrs, it consist of a main report which has a header containing the page number and 2 sub reports (report page 1 and report page 2) within a tablix. Report page one comes first, then report page 2 displays on the next page after the end of report page 1. The subreports can be anywhere from 1-3 pages. The page numbering is reset between each set of report page 1 and 2 (so if page 1 is 3 pages and page 2 is 2 pages, it goes from page 1-5, then resets). These are called for each record (with grouping) from the main reports' query. The report is around 1000 pages total. It renders perfectly on screen, but when I try to export to PDF, it will sometimes (like 1 time in the 1000 pages) display part of report page 2 on a page (as expected, the page number matches with it), then it will start printing report page 1 of the next group on the same page.
Here is the layout of the main report:
Here is the document outline for better understanding:
And here is the page that is wrong...
This is what it should look like (the last page of sub-report page 2 even has just the total record like the broken one!
I have tried everything I can think of. I have tried (i think) every combination of page breaks on the rectangles and groups, I have tried making a tablix with 2 rows using the same group and again tried every combination of page breaks. I have tried changing the number of records on a page. I have tried changing the consume whitespace option on both sub and main reports. I have tried adding both calculated and random amounts of white space. I have recreated the report from scratch a couple times. I'm sure there's more, but it would be like going through a full feature list of SSRS... Basically, I tried everything I could think of, then everything suggested in the links on the first page of about 10 different google searches. I just have no idea what is going on with this, any help would be greatly appreciated!
Let me know if you need any more info, screenshots, or whatever and I will try to provide. It may be highly "redacted", but I will provide anything I can.
Thanks, Kevin
Try check the setting "Between each instance of a group" in group properties of tablix.
Try checking your XML for empty TablixRows (which will not show up in the Document Outline). I found with my report that empty tablix rows screw up page breaks in subsequent rows / sub reports when exported to PDF. Where possible hide the TablixRows or insert and empty text box.
This appears to be a bug with SSRS when editing the XML by hand. The Visual Studio GUI seems to not let you delete the last element in a row - perhaps this is a work around. An error or schema validation message would have been nice for us hand coders!
Hope this helps.
I need to display a Textbox in the body of the report, but it has to be on a separate last page. It is actually a Word file that needs to be shown in each report, but seeing as how the only way to accomplish this is to put the file to the Report Server and then access it with a link, I decided to copy the contents of the file to a Textbox.
This and this question on SE are similar, however it is not exactly what I need.
You can achieve this by adding items with appropriate page breaks to the report.
Say I have a simple report with a table and a textbox:
The end result looks about what you'd expect:
However, we can force the textbox onto a new page by embedding it in a Rectangle and setting the Rectangle to always be preceded by a page break:
Now the report displays the textbox on the last page:
Tables themselves can also have page breaks, but since it's just text with no dataset it makes sense to me to use a Rectangle here.
I have an Access report that has a couple subheaders, and when I run the report, I can see all of the data. However, if I go to print it or to export to PDF, it prints only the first and last pages. Interestingly, the page count that we have at the bottom will say pages 1 of 4 and 2 of 4 for those two pages that print/export, but it is clearly missing the data in the middle.
What it looks like is happening is that it prints the first section and all its subheaders, then (still on the first page) it prints as many of the subheaders in the second section as it can fit on the page and then can't fit any more on the page. Then it prints the last page and the data that would appear there.
How can I make sure that all the data that I see in the actual report actually appears in the printed/exported PDF version?
You need to change your view from "Report View" to "Print Preview".
"Report View" is NOT the same as "Print Preview"
Once you're in print preview you have the option of setting page size, margins, etc.
