Any Way To Make A Page Footer Only For The First Page
Feb 18, 2007
I am unclear if SSRS can handle this. We are using SSRS 2005 for a variety of things for a billing system; one of them being actual bill generation. The bills are generally one page long, but in rare exceptions can be multiplie pages. They end up being printed onto perforated paper at around the 8 inch mark, and we basically want to put a page footer there that is the "bill stub"... a section that summarizes the bill that they rip off and return with payment.
So, I guess the general problem is that I have a want to put a section of content at a specific place at the bottom of one and only one page (the first page would be preferrable, but the last page is also acceptable), in the middle of a report that has a table of bill line items of an indeterminate height.
I went down paths of looking at PageFooter, since it is generally the idea I am after, but I can't find a way to only show it on one page... on a 4 page bill, it always wants to print on page 2 AND 3 no matter what I do.
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure the header/footer is on each next page,if the grade report goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up). I could put a textfield as a footer at the bottom the list control but that would just appear at whatever length page 2 ended up being (basically you could have a "footer" at mid-page if the whole list only took up 1.5 pages).
I currently have an Ungrouped Dataset being displayed in a Table. One of the columns include AMOUNT. This is an example of what my report looks like atm: ================== **Report Name**
No Name Amount
Signed By XXXX ==================
I would like to display a SUBTOTAL of the Amounts for each page and, on the final page, a TOTAL of the Amounts. Yes the Last Page's SubTotal and Total will be the same. Looking like: ===============================
pg1 **Report Name**
No Name Amount Sub Total Amount Signed By XXXX
(lastpage) **Report Name**
No Name Amount
(<-----no huge spaces between Table/Subtotal) Sub Total Amount
Total Amount
Signed By XXXX
=================================
Issues: I've found a way to get a Page's SubTotal, but the way I found requires this to be put in a field on the Page Footer Section. This means that on the final page, the SubTotal will be at the top of the Page Footer and not neccessarily directly beneath the table.
So: 1. Is there a way to move the Page Footer so that its printed DIRECTLY under neath the Page Body instead of at the bottom of the Page? 2. If not, is there a way to have the SubTotal of each Page and a Final Page Total in the Page Body section. Cheers.
I have a report with tablix. when tablix returns no rows Footer is coming all the way up . How to display the footer at the bottom of the page all time.
I have a problem which I am really struggling with. I have a report that normally spreads over three pages. We have a list setup so that for each customer it picks up fees and expenses and displays it in sections. We have a page break after FEES so that expenses start on a new page. FEES and expenses are tables.
We need to have a page footer set for the bottom of the report but to appear on the first page only per customer. I.e. we do not want it showing on the EXPENSE pages. We have played with the IIF command but can not seem to print htis per customer only by using global variables.
=IIf(Globals!PageNumber=1,"(Please note 30 day invoice period)
The example above however only prints on the first page of the entire report. So if three customers appear then this will only appear for the first customer and I have a feeling I may not be able to link this to list.
If I can not use a page break and enter this into the list then I have a problem with the text field moving up and down depending on the size of the FEE section. For example if 5 fees are brought back then the text field will be lower then a customer that has only 2 fees.
I after a solution that can either allow my page fotter to appear every time a new customer appears on a page and hiddern for the sub sheets. Or the ability to allow my text field to start at a fixed position on my report. Has anyone had a similar issue.
Is it possible to force the content of the page footer to always display at the bottom of a report? I have a report that shows customer orders. It has its interactive height set to 5 inches. There is one customer order per report page. Most of the reports don't require 5 vertical inches (but some do).
How can I make sure that the stuff in the page footer (date, page number, etc.) always gets rendered in the same position for each report? Currently, the page footer follows the last detail line so the footer information sometimes is only midway down the report page.
hi i am very concerned about this problem in my report.
to solve this problem i increased the height of page footer,blank page vanishes but the page footer is not printing on every page,it is only printing on 1 st page .
i am having probelm because the records from the dataset are more than the page limit , page break is there but no footer is printing on the second page only blank space is there.
I have seen some forums on SSRS page footer which is data bound. The procedure is as follow: a hidden text box is put into the body of the page...which can be data bound.. than a textbox is placed in the footer, which is linked to the hidden text box in the body. This is a good solution to this problem.. but the is 1 major problem I am facing. I render the report to PDF. But the result is that the databound footer shows up only on the last page. I need it to be seen on all the pages.. Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?
I am having a main report having two subreports, say M1,S1 and S2 respectively.
The issue is S2 normally tend to go beyond one page, for all pages except first page of the of the subreport I am getting the page header and footer blank,
Actually this is not loading the ReportItems that are used in main report but it shows text boxes containing strings for eg . "My Name" and date functions eg Today()
I have created one reports but all the records are displaying on one page.find a solution to display the records page by page. I created the same report without group so the records are displaying in page by page.
Hi. I wote a report including body and pagefooter, On body I put a list & the list inside had a table. Now when I print out this report, printer will printout 2 pages. (correct report is 1 page) , and on the second page, it had page footer only. If I turn off this page footer on next page, printer still printout a blank page that's i don't need. Does anybody can help me fix this problem? Thanks
Anybody knows if exists some way to put a dataset field into the page footer???, or if not, tell me if there is a way to do a €śsimilar€? of footer, cuz I need put information in the bottom of the report, but just in the last page, and need to left the space of this information in the another pages.
I am having a problem with the footer in my SQL Reporting Services project. I am trying to print a disclaimer in a text box on the last page in the footer. I can get the text box in the footer just fine but as the disclaimer is quite a lengthly multi line text string the footer has to be enlarged in order to fit the whole text box in.
This causes a problem on all the other pages where even though the footer is not displayed on pages before the last page it still takes up space stopping other data from being displayed where the footer would normally be.
Is there a way for me to set the footer size to a default value all all pages except the last page? I just want to enlarge the footer to about 1.5" on the last page to print my disclaimer without effecting the other pages layout.
I am using RS 2005 with SP2. I am trying to print a table Group footer on a brand spanking new page. I have checked the "Page Break at Start" of the Group, However in the Report view the footer starts printing directly below the end of the group, and not on a new page. I have also tried to add a rectangle to the group footer and selected Page Breaks before rectangle but the group footer still doesnt print on a page of its own. I would appreciate any suggestions.
I'm using SSRS SP2. I have a table with 1 group defined. I have a group footer that includes sub totals for each group. I have a table footer that includes my grand totals, but this footer will NOT print on a separate page even though I have 'Page Break At End' checked for the group. My groups correctly start on a new page, but when I get to my Grand Total footer line, it prints just after the last group sub-total line. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? Thanks in advance,
When I try to use (from page header or footer) a parameter or global or a function I wrote, I get the error below. Anyone got any ideas? Other reports within the VS 2005 project don't have this problem. Thanks....
An unexpected error occurred in Report Processing. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?
I was asked to add a subreport in my report footer so that it appears on every page of the report. I spent some time trying to figure it out or find an answer on the web, but it appears it can not be done.
I am having another setback with a report which has got multiple tables and sections. Here i wanted to have a footer for every page which is databound to a table. now since there are multiple sections and multiple tables...the things have become more complicated. is there any way you could tell me to go around this problem so that i can put a common footer on every page of the reports no matter how many pages it goes on??
Just to put it in points... I need.. to
a) Place a databound footer(a footer that is bound to a datasource and not hard coded) into the page footer in SSRS. No matter how long the report is in pages. b) I need it to appear on every page of the report after it is rendered to a PDF. I have placed a textbox in the body of the report and linked it to a textbox in the footer of the report. Now the thing is it is not working. Cud u please tell me diffrent ways or any possible way this could be done.?
Relative newb to SSRS here, but the answer to this question evades me; answers and insight are appreciated.
Report in question is an invoice form. It requires an absolutely bottom-of-page aligned footer that has databound elements.
This is so that whatever page that footer finally appears on will print in such a way that the address will align in a windowed envelope.
Ironically, Books Online gives this exact scenario in explaining headers and footers in SSRS, but they cleverly don't explain how an absolutely bottom-of-page-aligned and data-bound footer can be made to happen. Headers at absolute page top is obviously no problem. Footers at page bottom, not so much.
So, this is not a "page footer"--page footers are employed in the body. Also this footer is databound, so a page footer as it's known in SSRS is out the window anyway.
Most of the time this will print on a single page, but if it breaks to multiple pages, that footer needs to go all the way to the absolute bottom.
I grasp that the "report footer" for SSRS is just what appears at the end of any repeating controls that you've implemented in your body. Because SSRS uses this kind of repeating-control based idiom rather than a section-based idiom as Crystal does, this kind of (what I would consider very basic) positioning control is looking fairly impossible right now.
Among what I've tried:
--Page footer (can't; databound)
--Specifying a page break after the pre-footer controls, and/or a page break before the controls that make up the footer in their properties. This leads to unpredictable results with blank printed pages (as many as 8 for what previews as a 2-page report, how silly is that?).
--Putting in a page-height rectangle as part of the footer (with and without the page breaks mentioned above), with the idea of forcing a basically blank page at the end of the report so that the footer will go to the bottom. SSRS will go ahead and break the page anyway on long elements like that, which again leads to the "footer" being printed in the middle or top of the final page, or whereever it happens to fall.
I may be having to explain to my client that you can't get there from here, and they may have to redesign their report. Does anyone have any insight?
I want to toggle the visibility of a report item in my page footer based on whether or not a particular subreport has been rendered.
The report has 3 subreports. The subreport above the subreport in question can span several pages, so the subreport I want information on can render on page 1 (for a short report) or page 12 (for example) on a longer report.
Is there a way to determine within the main report when a particular subreport has been rendered and is currently visible?
I have a group in my report that contains an empty footer row to get a better visibility. Because the row has a frame it should be hidden if its the last row on the page. How can I manage that?

can someone tell me how I counld get a pagefooter linked textbox to show a data bound page footer in a report having 8 tables....??? I have tried the common solution showed on the previous forums.. They worked when there was only one table... where in i could place a group in 1 of the cells in the table body of the report. but now since der are 8 tables in the report.. d job is become very tricky.
the page footer is not showing up on all the pages of the report. it only shows on the first page of the report.
We have the customer requirement to display the footer of a SSRS Report fixed at the absolute bottom of a DIN A4 format page. The footer contains information like company address and stuff.
I searched quite a while on this topic and only found workarounds for SQL Server 2005 with Custom Code in the SSRS Report to calculate the size of the body content and then insert some empty lines to get the space needed to push the footer to the bottom of the page. But this won't work in SQL Server 2012. And I wasn't able to figure out how to achieve this yet.
