I'm using Reporting Services 2008 and Report Builder 2.0. I've used a tablix to display my data in a simple way - essentially each row in the database receives a row in the tablix - nothing fancy. I have a header row with a name for each column. I also have a super-header which groups together a few of the columns into logical groups (e.g. basics, address related, etc.). Now when I generate the report everything looks beautiful - but if I page to the next page it doesn't show the headers. I've tried setting the Repeat Header Rows on Each Page but it doesn't seem to help?
In the Tablix properties check the boxes for: Repeat header rows on each page and Keep header visible while scrolling.
Make sure that the column headers check boxes are NOT checked.
In the Group pane on the left (Row Groups), the first line is static. Set the following for this first static only
set its: "ReapetOnNewPage" property to TRUE
set its: "FixedData" property to TRUE
set its: "KeepWithGroup" property to AFTER
It will work surely!

I solved selected advanced next to row groups and column groups then it would show me the additional header rows. I could then select one of these header rows and change the property RepeatOnNewPage to True.
In your RDLC file, make sure that you have a Header node specified. It is possible that you are referring to your "Table" headers, which is not the same as the Report RDLC Header. The Report Header is the one that will repeat using the RepeatHeader property.

I need to hide or display the header of a SSRS report based on the value of a parameter. The parameter is called "Show Header?", and the values of this parameter are true and false. Is there a hide property for headers? If so, I'm not able to find it.
I'm not sure if you are talking about the table Headers or the report header (some people seem to use the term interchangeably).
I'm still self learning SSRS so there may be better options out there but a quick test i found the following.
For a Boolean Parameter type:
I used the logic below to hide the visibility based on parameter (you may want to play around with the true/false order depending on your parameter to get it to work how you want):
=IIF(Parameters!ShowHeader.Value, False,True)
Table Headers:
Just highlight the text boxes you want to show/hide and open up the properties, under Visibility select "Show or Hide Based on Expression"
(NB. i found highlighting the full row would only let you select the full tablix properties not the single row so I just shift clicked all the cells and pasted the IIF statement into the "Hidden" Property for the selection in the properties window)
Report Headers:
I am not sure you can hide the Header (couldn't see any immediate hiding properties or options), however you could hide the contents of the header using the same sort of process (right click properties and alter the Visibility setting or add the code into the Hidden property). In testing I found that the header would reduce to remove white space when items where hidden so may work out for you.
The sneaky way I've found to get around the limitation of SSRS on this is to put my "header" in the first row of the first tablix and just hiding the actual report header, which you probably know cannot be deleted. That way, I can show or hide the first row of the tablix by whatever criteria I desire. This method works well for me.
I am a Beginner in SSRS where i am Getting this Random Conflict--My Column Headers are Not Repeating in the Next Pages of my RDL.
How to Achieve this?? Can you all please help me out.
Depending on the version SSRS you are running you may have to do it another way. Select the tablix and then under the Columns Groups click the down arrow on the right of the header and select "Advanced".
Then under Row Groups select the Static item at the top. The properties should refresh and set the property "RepeatOnNewPage" to true and the "KeepWithGroup" to after.
I have a report made up of 2 tablix.
The first tablix just has some basic information in it, and is linked to a dataset.
The second tablix is linked to a different dataset and is made up of a lot of rows and spans multiple pages.
All I am looking to do is have the first tablix be displayed at the top of every page.
I cant add it to a header because you can't add a tablix containing data to a header.
I also don't want to just repeat column headers, because I need the entire tablix repeated.
Depending on how your Tablix is set up you could do the following:
• Select Tablix Properties and check column Headers > Repeat Header columns on each page In the grouping pane in advanced mode (click on small black down arrow on far right of grouping pane); select the corresponding (static) item in the row group hierarchy.
• In the properties grid, set RepeatOnNewPage to true and Keep with Group to After
How to Repeat Page Header on each Page.
Repeat on NewPage Property is not appearing in ssrs 2008 tablix memeber property
After a little experimentation, I figured out how to consistently get the table header to repeat on every page.
The setting of the RepeatColumnHeaders property on the tablix seems to have no effect on this behavior. Instead, we have to set it on a static member of the row groups.
To see the static members of the row groups, click on the small drop down arrow on the far right of the row groups/columns groups header. Then select Advanced Mode.
With the static members of the row group shown, select the first one in the list. The top left cell of the tablix should be selected in the designer.
Now open the property pane and find the property RepeatOnNewPage and set it to True.
Then find the property KeepWithGroup and make sure it's set to After. If it's not, set it to After.
Now your table header will repeat on every page.
Depending on how you created your new report, the Tablix xml may or may not have attached the correct properties to the "Header" row of the tablix.
Here is another thread on SQL Server Central with the fix:
http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic593245-1063-1.aspx
Here is the important bit:
for SSRS 2008,
If a report with a table is created using the wizard feature (In Solution Explorer, right click on >Reports --> Add New Report) Table Headers will repeat on every page.
Instead if a report is created without using the wizard (In Solution Explorer, right click on Reports --> Add --> New Item) Table Headers will not repeat on every page. Setting Repeat Header (Rows/Columns) on each Page for the Tablix will not help either.
If you have already built the report and cannot rebuild using the steps above and if and only if you are comfortable altering the xml behind the rdl, do the following. (Save a Backup rdl first)
View Code.
Look for TablixRowHierarchy
Below that there will be a TablixMember that corresponds to the header row.
to that header and any other header rows ( Tablix Member) add the three element properties.
<TablixRowHierarchy>
<TablixMembers>
<TablixMember>
<KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
<RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
<KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether>
</TablixMember>
...
You should see the header rows repeating.
I tried this in my own Report and found it fixed the problem.
You could also turn on "Advanced Mode" in the Row/Column Groups window and then modify each Static Row entries "RepeatOnNewPage" setting. You'll probably have to set "KeepWithGroup" to "After" as well.
This works well if you utilize a subreport as your header.
You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination). To repeat page headers on each page between groups, make the headers of the tablix part of the group and under the General tab of the Tablix Properties window check Column Headers -> Repeat header rows on each page. You can also do this from the general properties window of the Tablix by using the RepeatcolumnHeaders = True.
Please note my comments are limited to developing SSRS 2008 reports in BIDS. I do not know if this functionality exists in Report Builder.
here the steps you can follow. this resolved the issue(column header on each page):
1) in design mode of rdl file, at bottom you will find "Row Groups" and "Column Groups" (left and right, respectively). Beside Column Groups you will find one arrow button.(this arrow button is right side of column groups protion). click on this arrow button.
2) Check the "Advanced Mode"
3) RowGroups section you will find "(static)" and "(Details)". click on static and press F4(to check it's properties.)
4) provide "Keep With Group" as "After"
5)Provide "Repeat On New Page" as "True"
6) Go back to table, Right click on row header, Go to tablix properties.
7) check on "repeat Header Column on each page" and "repeat Header column on each Rows"
Hope this will help you.
I have an RDLC report with three tables and associated data sets. In my second table, I cannot get the two 'header' rows to repeat on each printed page. When viewed interactively, each table is on its own page and this isn't a problem. When I switch to print layout, e.g. my second table now spans two pages, and the second page gets no header rows.
Am I missing a setting or something?
ADDED: I do have the 'Repeat Header columns on each page' checked.

That should help you out for getting them to repeat. (some of the time)
I still have an issue where I set the hidden value to an expression for the next group header that some of the time it won't render my group header on the next page. Very annoying. If someone knows of a fix for this please let me know.
Copied from Microsoft Technet Article. Helped me:
To display a static tablix member (row or column) on multiple pages.
On the design surface, click the row or column handle of the tablix data region to select it. The Grouping pane displays the row and column groups.
On the right side of the Grouping pane, click the down arrow, and then click Advanced Mode. The Row Groups pane displays the hierarchical static and dynamic members for the row groups hierarchy and the Column groups pane shows a similar display for the column groups hierarchy.
Click the static member that corresponds to the static member (row or column) that you want to remain visible while scrolling. The Properties pane displays the Tablix Member properties.
In the Properties pane, set RepeatOnNewPage to True.
Repeat this for as many adjacent members as you want to repeat.
Have you ticked "Repeat header rows on each page" on the table properties?
(Right-click the table > properties)
