I'm pretty new with SSRS and I'm looking for a way to implement the following. I'm having a table that is expected to be rendered in multiple pages and I need to repeat an element in the report with every new page as in the shown image.
For example, if the table takes more than one page, what I need to do is to repeat the image in red and hide the image in green in the new pages.
I tried creating a subreport and adding those element to the headers but that didn't work. Obviously, the subreports headers and footers aren't rendered in the master report.
No need for subreport. Add a page header to your report (Report menu -> Add Page Header), and move the red box into the page header. In the body of the report put the green box, and then tablix/table. It should look similar to this in the design view:
In my case, I added a variable then insert code in Report Properties:
Public Function IsFirstPage(resident as string, currentResident as Microsoft.ReportingServices.ReportProcessing.OnDemandReportObjectModel.Variable) as Boolean
If (resident<>currentResident.Value) Then
currentResident.Value = resident
Return True
Else
Return False
End If
End Function
Then add Expression to Hidden element (your case is the image in green):
=IIf(Code.IsFirstPage(Fields!szFirstName.Value+Fields!szLastName.Value, Variables!currentResident), False, True)

We are trying to remove the white space taken up by the Page Header on every subsequent page after page 1. We don't have blank pages, just white space taken up by the header. It also doesn't seem to matter whether we send it directly to the printer or export it to a PDF.
On the Report section, we have set ConsumeContainerWhitespace = True.
On the Page Header section, we have PrintOnFirstPage = True
and PrintOnLastPage = False. Too bad there's not a
PrintOnlyOnFirstPage option!
We have two Rectangles on the Page Header section encompassing all of our header fields, and we've tried setting the Hidden property of these
rectangles to be:
IIF(Globals!PageNumber = 1, False,True).
We have several Text Box fields on the Page Header inside both rectangles. We are turning the visibility attribute of these Text Box fields either on/off depending on whether there's data present in the accompanying data field, e.g. =IIF(Len(First(Fields!SpecialOrderId.Value, "PurchPurchaseOrdersDS")) = 0, True, False).
I've tried the suggestion about putting the header code in the body and programmatically hiding it, but I'm getting this error:
\SSRS Reports\Reports\PurchPurchaseOrder : error AX3026: : PageNumber is invalid. InvalidIdentifier
THECODE:
Public Function PageNumber() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
CALLING IT:
=IIF(Code.PageNumber() = "1", False,True)
Thanking you in advance.
Folks, I found a link on a webpage that said: "VB code is no more supported in AX2012-SSRS". Obviously this is why the PageNumber() function does not work for us. However, using Harry's suggestion of moving our header fields into the body of the report fixed our issue and we no longer have two inches of blank white space on pages 2..x! Thanks!
I've to create a report that must be printed along with an existing report. Since the dataset is largely the same, I've created this new report as a sub-report to the existing report, and have added a before page break. So now both the existing report and (new) sub-report print on separate pages. The problem is that the header of the existing report gets printed on the sub-report also.
Is there a way to suppress/ hide parent report's header from the sub-report?
I guees SSRS doesn't allow to do exactly what your want, but if your subreport is on the last page, you can set PrintOnLastPage = False for report header, then it will not be printed, although I'm not sure how it will look if subreport generates many pages, I afraid that only the last of subreport's pages will be without header.
In that case all you can do is hacks - you can conditionally hide all report items inside header, setting their Hidden property to smth like this =IIf(Globals!PageNumber > YOUR_PAGE_NUMBER, True, False).
Or, if first part (parent report) generates unknown amount of pages, you can use PageName instead of PageNumber, and update report to change page name for subreport pages, f.e. by wrapping subreport into rectangle and specifying page name for rectangle. Expression then will be =IIf(Globals!PageName = "YOUR_SUBREPORT_PAGE_NAME", True, False).
I want remove header and footer from specific pages e.g from 2nd 3rd page out of 5 pages because when we export it to excel sheet it will merge cells and the sorting of excel will not work on sheet 2nd and 3rd.
I don't believe there is a way to remove the header/footer region from certain pages of the report. The only options SSRS gives is Print on First Page/ Print on Last Page options in the Header properties, so you can only control the first or last page of the report with those options.
You can hide the elements inside of the header/footer regions through their visibility property. For example, you could hide the header/footer contents on pages 2 & 3 by setting the visibility function to the following for the items inside the header/footer regions:
=Switch(Globals!PageNumber < 2,false,Globals!PageNumber < 4, true, Globals!PageNumber >=4, false)
By hiding the contents in those regions, excel will have a very narrow empty row at the top of the page, but at least it won't create the funky merged cells.
If you want to completely eliminate headers when exporting to excel, you can do so by following the instructions in this article I wrote:
http://jaysonseaverbi.blogspot.com/2013/11/ssrs-exporting-options-for-excel.html
Jaysonseaver gives a good option. But, similarly, you could also do this by the Page Name. If you name your pages (such as for excel export the page name becomes the worksheet name), then the Page Name built in could also be quite useful.
Something like:
=IIF(Globals!PageName = "MyPageName", true, false)
i have developed an access report which is made up of 4 subreports. the first subreport is just a cover page for the report. In the main report footer i have added page numbers. the page numbers are displayed on every page of the report including my cover page. I do not want to display the page number (which is page 1 ) on the cover page. As anyone had a similar problem like this and if so could you help me with my problem, thanks
There's no automatic way to do it. But if you know VBA, you can create a function that does it for you.
You'll want a textbox in your Page Footer section. Use =ShowPage() as the Control Source. Then you'll want this code in a module:
Function ShowPage(Optional ClearPage As Boolean)
Static PageNum As Integer
If ClearPage Then
PageNum = 0
End If
If PageNum > 0 Then
ShowPage = PageNum
End If
PageNum = PageNum + 1
End Function
Lastly, put 'ShowPage True' under the Report_Load event. This will reset the counter each time the report is run.
Try this. Open your report in design view. Double click the small square at the top left corner of your report to open the report property sheet. Click on the "Format" tab and scroll to the bottom. Set your "Page Footer" property to "Not with Report Hdr". The report header is usually the first page of the report. Your first sub report should be positioned in the header section of the main report. Then the page footer will not print on the first page. Hope this helps.
I have a Report in SSRS that displays some logos at the top of the first page. I just got a requirement to add the possibility to also show the logos in the second page -- The report is only two pages. Is there a way to repeat the same Image objects in the second page?
If your report is specifically laid out to span multiple pages, you can use a repeating page header. If not (i.e., the second page is caused by content overflow), and you know it will always be two pages or less, you can use a page header and select "print on first page" and "print on last page" in report properties. Otherwise, if you have tablix controls causing the page span, and your page design allows, you can put the logos in the tablix header and enable repeat header on all pages for the tablix. If none of those work, you'll be stuck, as far as I know.

If you are showing Image in the header then you need to following things:
Adding a Data-Bound Image to a Header or Footer
You can use image data stored in a database in a header or footer. However, you cannot reference database fields from the Image report item directly. Instead, you must add a text box in the body of the report and then set the text box to the data field that contains the image (note that the value must be base64 encoded). You can hide the text box in the body of the report to avoid showing the base64-encoded image. Then, you can reference the value of the hidden text box from the Image report item in the page header or footer.
For example, suppose you have a report that consists of product information pages. In the header of each page, you want to display a photograph of the product. To print a stored image in the report header, define a hidden text box named TXT_Photo in the body of the report that retrieves the image from the database and use an expression to give it a value:
=Convert.ToBase64String(Fields!Photo.Value)
In the header, add an Image report item which uses the TXT_Photo text box, decoded to show the image:
=Convert.FromBase64String(ReportItems!TXT_Photo.Value)
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220421(v=sql.105).aspx
TO repeat image on every page
IN addition to this, to repeat this image into everyt page, Go to property of TXT_Photo textbox In General tab, tick the check box "Repeat report item with data region on every page" and select your region.
Thanks
