Groupwise Page Numbering And Also Display The Total No. Of Pages In That Particular Group.
Feb 14, 2008
Friends,
I am using SSRS (Sql server reporting services) for one of my report related to EIS-MIS.
i want group wise page numbering and also display the no. of pages for that particular group.
e.g suppose group 1 has 5 pages then it should display
page no. 1 /5, 2/5,3/5,4/5, 5/5. now suppose group change then it shold display 1/4 like this
I have already implemented groupwise page numbering using then custom code and i have call that function from the header portion of the report.
now the question is how can i display the total no. of pages in particular group?
For that i have add one count column in query itself but as we know we can't use field value in header and footer portion and also we can't use global variables in data portion.
I've posted a feedback with Microsoft to see if we can get them to fix the issue described below, but so far no one from Microsoft has commented to let us know what they're doing about this problem! I'm posting this here to see if maybe we can get more people to rate this feedback or chime in on what a pain it is! Please feel free to add your own comments or how you had to work around this issue and whether or not you think this is something Microsoft should be addressing NOW.
Provide Individual Page Numbering per Group and Total Pages per Group
Currently in a Reporting Services report, you can't readily reset the page number for each group in a table, nor can you display the total number of pages per group. For example, if I'm printing invoices and each invoice is a separate group, I'd like to be able to print "Page 1 of 5" , "Page 2 of 5" etc. for the first invoice, then "Page 1 of 3" when the next invoice begins, and so on. This was easy in Crystal Reports. I realize that Crystal Reports has a two-pass process that enables that kind of pagination. However, this is REALLY important functionality that's just missing from Reporting Services and I'm hoping you'll provide it REALLY SOON! Yeah, I know there are work-arounds if you can know exactly how many rows of information there are on each page. But gosh! That's not practical, especially if you have second level groups inside the main group or text blocks in rows that can 'grow' to more than one line. I've read a couple of work-arounds, but none of them works correctly and consistently when more than one user is running the same report or when you print the report while you're looking at it on the screen. I still may need access to the overall report page number and the overall total number of pages, so don't get rid of that. It's just that if you're doing this already for the entire report, I don't see why you can't do it per group! Lots of people have been asking for this for years, and I don't understand why it hasn't been implemented.
I've read a few articles on this topic, but no one has come up with a decent work around. My theory is that Microsoft should be addressing this immediately. This is major functionality that's just plain missing from SSRS and should have been there from the start. If anyone from Microsoft can let us know what's going on with this issue or if anyone would like for me to clarify this further, feel free to let me know.
I don't think this is possible, but I promised my users I would bring this question to the forum. The users want to have the page numbering change per each group on the report. The report is large, and there are up to 5 pages in each group. I have a large List Control surrounding the many tables on my report that controls the over all report grouping. Everything looks great and the users are pleased.
But when I try to add the Global!PageNumber and Global!TotalPages to the bottom of the List Control I get the error that the Globals properties can only be used in the Page Header and Page Footer section.
Is there any way around this? I could not think of a way around it, but I am not an expert in Reporting Services by any means.
I know how to reset the page numbers with each group, but how do you reset the total page number within each group.
EX. Code for page of total pages
="Page " & Globals.PageNumber & " of " & Globals.TotalPages
EX. Code to reset within a group Custom Code: Shared offset as Integer Shared currentgroup as object
Public Function GetGroupPageNumber(group as Object, pagenumber as Integer) as Object If not (group = currentgroup) offset = pagenumber - 1 currentgroup= group end if return pagenumber - offset end function
I have a report that is grouped based on a field. There is no way to pre-determine the number of detail lines each group will have. Is there a way to set the print condition such that if any group details do not fit onto one page then the whole group should be printed on the next page. Something like this:
If ALL Group2 details do not fit onto the same page print it on a new page. (I don't want each group on a separate page, I just want the group detail to start on a new page IF THEY DO NOT ALL fit on one page)
Has anyone figured out how to reset the page numbers after a grouping and have it display in the format €˜Page X of Y€™? I can get it to reset the page number for each group and display €˜Page X€™ but it€™s the €˜of Y€™ part that is a problem.
Does anyone know how I can determine the number of page writes that have been performed during a set period of time? I need to figure out the data churn in that time period.
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.
The problem is about numbering groups. I'm trying to display data like this-
1. U.S
1.1 San Francisco
1.1.1 employee1
1.1.2 employee2
1.2 Dallas
1.2.1 employee3
2. UK
2.1 London
2.1.1 employee4
I've tried using RunningValue(1, Sum, "group_name") but it gives erroneous results. I'm using 3 lists, one at each group level. The outermost list (1st list) is grouped by "country" (group_1), 2nd one is grouped by city (group_2) and the innermost (3rd one) by employee name (group_3).
I haven't a clue how to accomplish this.All the data is in one table. The data is stored by registration dateand includes county and number of students brokne out by grade.Any help appreciated!Rob
I have an SSRS 2012 table report with groups; each group is broken ie. one group for one page, and there are multiple groups in multiple pages.
'GroupName' column has multiple values - X,Y,Z,......
I need to group 'GroupName' with X,Y,Z,..... ie value X in page 1,value Y in page 2, value Z in page 3...
Now, I need to display another column (ABC) in this table report (outside the group column 'GroupName'); this outside column itself is another column header (not a group header) in the table (report) and it derives its name partly from the 'GroupName' Â values:
Example:
Value X for GroupName in page 1 will mean, in page 1, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-X Value Y for GroupName in page 2 will mean, in page 2, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Y Value Z for GroupName in page 3 will mean, in page 3, column Name of ABC column must be ABC-Z
ie the column name of ABC (Clm ABC) Â must be dynamic as per the GroupName values (X,Y,Z....)
Page1:
GroupName          Clm ABC-X
X
Page2:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Y
Y
Page3:
GroupName          Clm ABC-Z
Z
I have been able to use First(ReportItems!GroupName.Value) in the Page Header to get GroupNames displayed in each page; I get X in page 1, Y in page 2, Z in page 3.....
However, when I use ReportItems (that refers to a group name) in the Report Body outside the group,
I get the following error:
Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope
I need to get the X, Y, Z ... in each page for the column ABC.
I have been able to use this - First(Fields!GroupName.Value); however, I get ABC-X, ABC-X, ABC-X in each of the pages for the ABC column, instead of ABC-X in page 1, ABC-Y in page 2, ABC-Z in page 3, ...
It's no secret that the number of pages in a rendered report varies depending on the format. I have no problem getting the total number of pages for reports rendered in image formats from the web service, but I can't figure out how to get the number of pages for reports rendered in HTML.
I've always been under the impression that the Report Manager that ships with SSRS uses the same web service (reportservice.asmx) and IT can get the number of HTML pages, so it has to be possible.
="Page " + Globals!PageNumber.ToString() + " of " + Globals!TotalPages.ToString()
When I run the report on the report manager, (through the site), the execution time, number of pages everything show properly. But when I print the report, the execution time and total pages is printing huge numbers, which are not in any way related the actual page numbers.
For example: When I run the report it shows the footer like below: Printed by xxxxxxxxx on 3/28/2008 1:59:01 PM Execution Time: 6 Seconds Page 1 of 213 When I print Printed by xxxxxxxxx on 3/28/2008 1:59:01 PM Execution Time: 47 Seconds Page 1 of 483
Does anyone know what is the solution to this problem is? I really appreciate your help,
I can't find any explanation why is it string1 and string 2 of the footer section of my report displayed separately from the expression3 which is aligned on it and the rest of the object on the second page.
The expected design is that all Footer items should be displayed together of whether it is placed on the first page or on the last page.
As a workaround of this, I converted string 1 into an expression (Added = and enclosed the string with double quote).. As a result, all of the items in the Footer section are now placed together on the last page of the report.
I also remember one of the issue I encountered before where the Footer items where placed together on the first page and still have space at the bottom of the page, but then expression 6 is forced to display (alone) on the last page of my report.
I can't find any discussion related to this, I wish somebody could give me an idea why RS behaved like this.
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.
Is it possible to say for example have the first page that contains a chart in portrait layout and the rest of the report that is a table in landscape layout?
I have a report which is multiple pages in the report viewer. Now I want to make it shown in the webpage report viewer just in one page. Is there any ways to realize it?
I in a table or partition, the first page is an IAM-Page if I'm not wrong, this page keeps track of the extents. In the first extent to where the "first_iam_page" points to, the extent is a mixed extent, therefore the pages can be from different tables or partitions, correct? How does my IAM-Page map the right pages to the corresponding table? the following extents are all uniform of one table type, so I guess it doesnt matter then. But n, how does it keep track of which pages belong to which tables in the first extent?
My second question is, the first IAM-Page is obviously an IAM-Page, but there are also GAM , SGAM and PFS Page files... where are they stored? Because when I create a table and insert a big value(8000) into it, it reserves 16KB for that table, one for the IAM-page, and one for the first data-page. But where can I find the GAM,SGAM and PFS page files? or are they not page files, just some other structures?
Like many others, I have a large report that groups on invoices, and does a page break between each invoice. From reading other posts in this forum, I was able to reset the page number on the grouping, however, there are some things that I need to display only on the last page of each invoice, but I don't see how I will be able to determine when I'm on the last page for a particular invoice. Can I somehow determine up front the number of pages for a group so I know when I'm at the last page?
I have a text box that contains a memo field. It's located in the middle of the report page. If the data is too big to fit on the bottom half of the report, then it goes to the next page. This leaves a blank bottom half on the first / initial page. How can I get the textbox to split across pages and not go to a new page automatically?
I am reading the official documentation on pages and extents. I've also read an article on the official SQL Server Blog (sadly, I can't link as a new member). These articles do a good job explaining what an extent is.Why use extents at all?I can't find a good example anywhere of how grouping pages into extents make SQL Server work more efficiently. Any good example of what SQL Server would be missing if it didn't have extents at all, and how extents fix this?
It is using a table to display a very large amount of data (a basic list of information) with groups. Each of the groups can span multiple pages, so the user may not realize where the grouping actually began (I am repeating the group headers). Therefore, I would like to modify the group header when it is repeated across multiple pages by simply adding the text, "(cont.)" to the header so the reader can easily see that the group started on a prior page. There does not appear to be any standard test function for this condition. Using Previous() for this case does not work. This cannot be a new issue and must have been solved; any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the forum but could not find an answer to this question...
I am staring to lose my mind on all this "work-around" BS in trying to create a dynamic header.
I have a report with contains a table, whose first two lines are a header line in which I want to repeat on each page. Then I have about 20 detail rows of information related to the header. The 21st detail row is a merged cell that contains a subreport relating to the header item.
When printing to PDF, the detail rows consume about half the page and the subreport is anywere from half a page to several pages long. When the subreport is more than half a page, it skips the end of the first page and starts on the top of the next page, leaving the bottom half of the first page blank. No matter what I set the page breaking to, it continues this behavior. In addition, when the subreport data spans more than one page, my parent table's header row will not print to the next page even it the RepeatOnNewPage is set to true.
I am coding this way because I have found no good way of creating a dynamic header that will correctly and consistantly display data that has detail that spans more than one page.
in my report i have amount field. i want to display its total (sum) on each page..... i have tried runningvalue in tablefooter but it gives final total.......means grand total... i have also tried sum function in tablefooter & set repeateoneachpage = true but it gives same result.............. and i want pagewise totals...... anybody can help me...................
