I am having tried a access 2007 report with fixed numbers of rows (records) per page. For example, I like to fix total number of records (rows) to 10 per page while underlying query might have 5 records in some criteria or 15 records in some case. If any idea, please share me.
TIA

You can us a pagebreak with the visible property set to false and then make it visible when a counter reaches the relevant number.
Further information: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/119075
You can count and insert page break on the report's body (or section) format event.
This event fires on every record. You can place a pagebreak at the end of the section and make it visible when you need to print on next page.

I have created an SSRS table element where we have multiple grouped items like below generated in a Portrait mode.
Problem:
Whenever there are many items in a single group, some items in the group get spilled over to the next page. That is, a page break is applied.
Example,
If there are 3 groups in a table, and 2nd group contains 50 items, 30 are displayed on the first page, page breaks and then the remaining 20 are displayed on the second page and so on until all the remaining groups are displayed. This is a normal scenario which happens by default.
Expected Solution:
What is expected is, if the data region of any of the group spills over to the next page, then the whole group along with the group header needs to be shifted to the next page. The idea is to have the whole data region of the group stay together.
This is like a smart table (group split).
This is dynamic in nature in the sense, where if for a group with less rows, it fits and stays together on a single page, then page break doesn't happen.
I tried multiple options like below but none of them worked.
- Change the Keep Together flag of the Grouped rows and the Data Region to True.
- Add a page break after each row group using the Group properties.
Can someone please let me know if there is at all a way to achieve the smart page break like the one expected above?
You can't do that but there are two ways that you can do.
You can remove paging of SSRS report. to remove Paging by opening property window of report and set InteractiveSize's Height value to 0. it will remove paging of the report
You can repeat your Group header if there to another page as well so that user have idea about this data belongs to which group.
How do I get Page Number in Body Section of RDLC report. Globals!PageNumber can be used only inside either Report Header or Footer. What if I put Row number to my dataset and get the record number.
Limiting the number of records per page and do the visibility calculation based on the records number is the best solution so far that I've heard of.
Can anyone educate me on this logic?
Or is there any other workaround for this?
P.S:
Other so-called solution like using Custom code is not giving you the correct page number. It will always show 1.
There isn't really an easier way to get the page number in the body. I think working with the dataset row count is the only reliable way.
What I have here is a short SQL statement to get Project Status information:
SELECT * FROM PROJ_STATUS
So I'll add the row number as a field, and also divide it by the number of records I want per page and add 1 (giving me the page number of each row)
SELECT * , ((DENSE_RANK() OVER(ORDER BY PRS_ID) -1) / 3 ) +1 AS [CountRow] FROM PROJ_STATUS
Now in my report I've got a table showing the status names and if they are active or not... I'll also add the page number as a column.
Next put a list in the report and put the table inside it.
Then click the top left square corner on the list and in the properties window set the dataset to the one you are using.
Then right click on the row group in the list and set the grouping to the page number column.
And put page breaks in between instances.
And there you go!
Reason why the -1 for #4Star. See that without the -1 the 3rd row is on the second page.
If your dataset is a row per whatever you want to get page numbers for, then
=RowNumber("DataSet1")
will work.
This is the same as using
row_number() over (order by (select null))
as it gives you an arbitrary ordering for row numbers.
I have a data set that consists of the gross dollar amount on row 1, 1-n number of rows of various details then a last row that shows the gross dollars minus the various row amounts. I am trying to replicate some expand/collapse functionality used in an internal ASP report page where the initial row is the NET value (collapsed). When expanded, the gross, detail, and net rows show up in a "expand up" action.
I have been able to so far get the parent row to show the NET values when collapsed, but I am trying to find a way to hide the contents of the parent row once expanded so that the NET values are not displayed twice.
Is there some kind of "is hidden" property I can use in an expression to hide the data in the cells? not sure how else I can accomplish this. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!
The only thing I can think of that might help is inscope(). You can use something along the lines of:
iif(inscope("ChildGroup") = TRUE ...
This will test to see if the current item is within the scope of the grouping, which means that you can test if the current group is expanded or collapsed.
See https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms156490(v=sql.100).aspx for more information on inscope().
so after much research it appears this cannot be done thanks to SSRS producing a static report once rendered. The inscope function allowed me to set the initial state of the row, but does not give functionality to update report properties after rendering occurs. my only options would be then to create a second parent group (grand parent?) or insert an action that calls the report over again passing in a hidden parameter.
thank you for your help!
I believe you can do this, but you'll need to make some adjustments.
A. You can't put your gross dollar amount in the row you'll be using to expand/collapse.
B. Don't use group visibility to expand/collapse. You'll need to use row visibility. (This can get tricky and I don't recommend it if you have nested groups. It becomes unmanageable.)
Row 1: Toggle
Row 2: Gross Dollar Amount, default visible
Row 3-n: Various row Dollar Amounts, default hidden;
Set rows 2-n to toggle based on Row 1.
When you the report initially renders, Row 2 will be visible, Row 3n are not. When you toggle, Row 2 will hide, row 3n will be visible.
How would I set a maximum lines to display in a BO 4 report? On each page, I'd like to show 20 account numbers in column 1 with item counts in the next columns. There are some good discussions on limiting the rows retrieved in a query (e.g., Limit number of result or rows returned in BO using WebI). Some suggestions include using sections with RowIndex()/20 to limit the lines to 20, so I tried adding a variable =Floor(RowIndex()/20). However, the lines in my report contain aggregated variables, and the row index counts all records retrieved. Thoughts?
One option:
Add a column on the far left of the block. Use the following formula:
=Floor(RunningCount([Account Number])/10)
(assuming, of course, that your dimension is named [Account Number])
Create a break on this column. (Report Element -> Table Layout -> Break -> Add Break). Go back to the same menu and click Manage Breaks. Click the "Start on a new page" checkbox.
This will create a block with a maximum of 20 rows per page. Unfortunately, there's no direct way to hide a column in WebI, so you'd be stuck with this ugly column. What you can do, however, is remove all borders, change the font to white-on-white, and reduce its width as much as possible.
When i try to prevent the detail from splitting it affects the page total.
This is what is happening:
The summary is done in the current page and the extra row is showm on the next page.
But I want the sum to be calculated on the page where the forwarded row appears.
e.g:
In page 1: I have the balance of V1+V2+V3+V4 but V4 appears in Page 2
Normally I should have in page 1 the balance of V1+V2+V3 and in Page 2 the balance of V4+V5+V6.
Can someone help me out !
If I have good memories this is a case of miscalculation of forwarded
rows by ireport. Whenever a row spread over two consecutives pages
ireport becomes confused. Instead of using split type= prevent as
option in the detail band , set it to split type= Stretch. Then create
a dummy group (by primary key of the row) with group header and footer
enabled that will act as a container for each row . Dummy group option
are: reprint header=true, Min Height to start new= value of detail
band height, Footer Position= normal, Keep together= true.
Now if each row is processed as group and will be forwarded to next
page it cannot fit a the current one. Hope it helps
In which band you has added the "Page Total"? I have same problem, and I tried your solution, but, the problem persists, the total is increased with the value from next page.
