I have a report with 10 columns and all these columns are sortable. my problem is if a used select one or more column i want to show in the report header that column X and y has been sorted and the sort direction
the reason i want to show this is because at the time of printing the report, the sort indicator is not printed
Thanks in advance

I have a SSRS report in which i need to align multiple tablix in same Order as i need to export to EXCEL
The other tablix's is just a copy of the first tablix with only change of data set.But all the tablix will have same Columns.I need to align each column to the respective column in the other tablix. Can anyone help me in this?
After exporting in to excel,column1 of Tablix1 is not in Sync with Column1 of Tablix2,they are created in different Columns in Excel.
I don't think you can do what you are proposing with two separate tablixes. I may be wrong, but I think you would need to change the underlying dataset or query being used to return the data (probably need to do a UNION or something) and display all of the data in the SAME tablix, which shouldn't be a huge problem since you are using the same columns. If you do it this way, you would use your row groupings to effectively section of the tablix so that the data has some separation.
Following steps will work.
Select 1st Tablix and open the property window. Set property Location->Left=0
Do the same for 2nd tablix.
Now select cell one by one of the 1st tablix and open the property window. Set property
size->Width="required width of the cell and keep the maximum decimal places upto 2 decimal places"
Do the same for 2nd Tablix
I have just had to sort this issue. I had multiple tablix's underneath each other with various text boxes for labelling and had them inside rectangles. I did as suggested above lining everything to 0.0 on the location Left and checking that every single cell in every single column was the same width as the cell in the tablix directly above and below it. However when exported to excel I still had 2 or 3 blank columns hidden between each data column. In the end I removed all of the rectangles and just used the tablix's and text boxes. Everything was aligned to 0.0 location left, and all text boxes were the same width as the tablix's. This time when I exported to excel there were no extra blank columns.
I'm currently working on a report to display the number of consented patients by disease group and my column titles aren't displaying for every column. For whatever reason, they are alternating thus only displaying half of the column titles. Any ideas on how to resolve this issue? Here is a picture of the chart as it's displaying now.
You need to set the axis interval to 1.

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.
I have a problem with page breaks in an SSRS report, and I'm by no means an expert. This is in the XML mark up to provide a page break:
<TableGroups>
<TableGroup>
<Grouping Name="AdjustmentPageBreakGroup">
<PageBreakAtEnd>true</PageBreakAtEnd>
<GroupExpressions>
<GroupExpression>=CInt(Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/28))</GroupExpression>
</GroupExpressions>
</Grouping>
</TableGroup>
</TableGroups>
The page break appears on different lines on the print and screen version of the report:
Print:
Screen:
As you can see, the print version has a break in the middle of the "Transfer IN" cell, with "Value" on the next page after the break. From what I can tell from the XML, it's got a hardcoded page break at row 28, and if I change this number it fixes the print version and breaks the screen version. Is there any way to specify this line break differently for print and screen?
The solution to this issue is the rectangle component. Based on your image, I am assuming that your report has a table that is grouped on location. For each location you are reporting on Number and Value. Column 1 has the location name, Column 2 is the label and Column 3 is the field values.
Create a new table (TABLE A). Set the table to group on Location. In the group footer, add a rectangle (RECTANGLE). Set the Keep Contents Together property of the rectangle to TRUE.
Add a table to the area of the rectangle (TABLE B). Do not add a grouping to TABLE B. Add to the details row of this table Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 formatted as it is in the existing report.
When the report renders, each group will be kept together and the rectangle will force page breaks between the groupings.
The solution above works for SSRS 2008. The solution below is similar and works for SSRS 2005.
Create a new table (TABLE A). Set the table to group on Location. In the group header or footer add a table (TABLE B). Do not add a grouping to TABLE B. Add to the details row of this table Column 1, Column 2, and Column 3 formatted as it is in the existing report. On the TABLE B use the Fir table on one page if possible option.
You can solve this problem by using few small steps:
1-Go to report properties and set paper size to custom. The width and length is to be as such, that it will show all column :
2- Then set the Body Property like same :
Now View the report and download in any PDF/Any format it will not break:
Make sure the interactive size and the page size are the same. You also have to set the margins so that the print version prints properly.
I have a simple table in SSRS which I am using to create a CSV report.
The output looks like:
a,b,c
1,2,3
4,5,6
where a,b,c are the column headers.
Now my client requires a footer row saying how many records are in the file.
However if I add a row to my table with the required fields in, the output becomes:
a,b,c,records
1,2,3,2
4,5,6,2
instead of:
a,b,c
1,2,3
4,5,6
records,2
Does anyone know how I can achieve the desired effect?
In SSRS 2005, the table control has, by default, three rows. The top one is for a header, the bottom one is for footer, and the middle one is for data. Looking at your example, it appears you dragged the records value into a new column in the middle row, and it automatically added a header for you.
Instead, drag it into the bottom row. You can type "records" into the leftmost column of the footer, and whatever data set field you have for the records count into the 2nd column.
In SSRS 2008, you have the Tablix control. It defaults to a Header row and a Data row. Right-click on the data row, and select Insert Row -> Outside Group - Below. Then you have a footer row that you can add to the same way was in SSRS 2005.
The effect you're trying to achieve is not possible but you can get rid of that column.
Select the row you use as Footer, actually the textbox associated and set the DataElementOutput for that textbox to NoOutput. That row will not be exported in CSV.
This applies to any textboxes in a report.
In SSRS 2008 , Click on the Report Tab on the top menu . Then select "Add Page Footer"
