Handling Page Break Through Use Of Rectangle And Visibility
Apr 1, 2008
Hi,
I want to dynamically handle page breaks in a report based on which subreports that are included in the total report. Which subreports that should be included is controlled through use of parameters. My problem is the following:
I use a rectangle on which I have set the page break property. If I explicitly set the visiblity on the rectangle to true, the page break is performed. If I set the visiblity to hidden, the page break is disregarded. All this is fine with me and according to how I think it should behave. Though, if I use an expression to toggle the true and false on the visiblity, the same behaviour could not be performed. I cannot figure out why. Anyone that can help me with this? I thought that the expression "=true" should be equal to Visible. What am I missing?
I am trying to use either a rectangle or a list to provide page break functionality between 2 tables in a report.
If I set PageBreakAtStart, I get a nice page break between the 2 tables.
However, If there are no rows in the first table, I do not want the page break. So I add this expression in the list/rectangle hidden property: =iif(RowNumber("Data")= 0,true,false)
Once I add this, or any other expression to the list/rectangle, the page break stops working, even tho the list/rectangle is being shown. If I set Hidden back to False, the page break works. If I use =False in an expression, the page break stops working again.
I have a report which produces invoices. These invoices are more complex than your average ones.
The invoice is for one customer but many orders. Within the invoice, orders are grouped together by their delivery address which can be different for each order within the invoice. I throw a page for each seperate delivery account and sub-total by delivery account too. All this works fine and page breaks are all OK. However I also need a summary page at the end of the invoice showing 1 line per delivery account andf the sub-total for it, then I show a grand total.
To achieve this, I used a list control, grouping on Invoice number. within it I placed 2 tables. 1 is the main Invoice table, the 2nd is the summary table. I have a page break on a group in table 1 that controls the split on delivery account. I have a page breaks on table 2. Again this all works fine and paging is perfect.
Here's the crunch though! If the invoice only contains one delivery account, I need to suppress the summary table. This I can do BUT I still get the page throw for it, effectively giving blank pages. The page break is triggered regardless of whether the containing control is visible or not.
I'm pretty accomplished with RS and I've tried all sorts of tricks and hacks to get round it but it seems a page break is added regardless of whether the control triggering it is visible or not!
I've tried rectangles both with the table in it and outside. And with the page break on the rectangle and when that didn't work , on the table inside it.
I have a report with several matrix objects. The data contained in each matrix is simple. One matrix has one column of labels and a column of data. The other has 3 columns of data. Both matrix's only show about 25 rows of data. A variable amount of data is displayed above the matrix's so that sometime the render across a page boundary. Whenever this happens the matrix doesn't render rows down to the bottom of the page. A considerable amount of empty space is left on the page, the completed matrix is displayed on the next page. I'm wondering how to get the matrix to render in this empty space.
This problem only occurs when I view the report on screen, in the Visual Studio "Preview" window, or from the Report Server web site. Tiff, pdf and printed output doesn't contain the extra space.
I've tried adding my matrix to a List and a Rectangle to see of this would fix the problem but it didn't help.
I've check the dimensions and margins or the page and I don't think I have any sizing problems, everything should fit on the page.
I'm running into an issue with a report we have, I was hoping you may be able to help...
We have a report that contains a rectangle which has conditional visiblity. When the expression evaluates to true, the contents of the rectangle are indeed "hidden", but we are seeing a blank page.
The rectangle does NOT have page breaks selected before or after it. (and neither does the objects before or after that rectangle.)
I have a report with multiple tables. I need to show each tables in different pages. When there is no data for tables/tables , it is coming with the next table which has data. I have given "Add a page break after" option in the tablix but still the tables are coming together when no data available. How can I show it in different page?
I have a table that I want to show only 3 times in every page. If the dataset return to me 7 results i want to show The first 3 in page 1, the second 3 in page 2, the last in page 3... only 3 in every page.
I created that function:
Function saltoCada(ByVal n As Integer)
If (iCount < n) Then
iCount = iCount + 1
Else
iCount = 1
End If
Return iCount
End Function
I created a group in a table with that expression: =Code.saltoCada(3) and then add a page break at end in the group.
Is that the way to do this?It doesn't work.. Any ideas?
I have a report that has a Parameter called "LevelOfDetail" This has 2 possible values "Summary, Detail, or Combined".
The report has a Summary Section and a subreport that holds the details. WIthin the summary section is a Matrix (a list of all properties and some values)
If they choose to see the details, the matrix in the details section will show a break out of all this information summarized in the summary section.
The Details Matrix is set to have a page break at the beginning and end of the top level group.
I have a list control on the summary page that contains the details subreport and passes the appropriate parameter.
Everything works the way I want until I try to set visibility on sub report.
Once I set the conditional visibility of the report objects (based on the Level of Detail parameter) the page breaks are not recognized.
This is important as the user will never print the report, but will be downloading to Excel.
If the page breaks work correctly, each page is assigned a different worksheet in their downloaded workbook.
I have a main report that calls subreports. When a subreport has enough data such that it will not fit into the remaining area of the current page the renderer inserts a page break leaving alot of ugly white space. Is there any way to sop this behaviour? This seems like a very basic thing.
I must be missing a check box somewhere........ I simply added a group to a report and need to do a "Page Break Before" each group. I found the check box to do that, and the report works as expected, BUT I get a blank fist page. So how do I prevent a "page break" on the "first time through"?
Using SSRS 2005, I have a simple "letter" report that has a page header and body. The body has a single table and I have set the "page break on end" property to true, but the report ignores that setting and prints the report as one long letter.
I'm sure I'm just missing some very simple point, but cannot figure out what it is. Any ideas?
I have a tabular data region. Outside of this tabular, I have to put a text box (Entity) with a field. I want to get a page break with this field. How can I do that, as this field is outside of the tabular data region.
I have developed a simple report containing a table which has one group. The group has property 'Repeat Group Header '.
I can see the report when it returns data which spans more than one page. Other wise I see a blank page when seen from the web application. The report is seen properly in Designer.
I found out that if I had a 'Page Break at start' = True for the table, I can see the reports containing single page. But this page break is not acceptable.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Whats the solution to it?
I'm having an odd problem that I've never experienced before. I have a couple of tables and then a bunch of text fields. Each table needs to start on a new page, as does the collection of textboxes. I can accomplish this for the two tables but not for the text boxes. When I set pagebreadatend to true for the second table, the textboxes come right after it as if it were set to false. I even embedded a rectangle in btween the table and the textboxes and set its pagebreakatend to true, but this also did not have the expected effect. What is going on here? There's nothing funky about this report, no subreports, no conditional visibility, etc.. Thanks for any help!
Hi, I am planning to put some page break in my SQL 2005 report using Table Property-general tab and it does not have any effect, if I select INSERT PAGE BREAK or not. It gives a page brreak byitself and when I print the data in PDF, it gives extra page breaks arbirtory.
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 need to page break after 6 grno record but above syntax measure 6 datafiled row and then page break.how I can page break after 6 grno record
Hello, In crystal these are available- 1- Conditional Page break 'OnLastRecord'- I have few groups and if I put page break it breaks on each group even if that group has 2 rows but I want a break at the end of the page. So is there conditional page break in SSRS 2005. 2- I am also having problem with controlling Number of lines in a page, few pages are very long as compared to others, though when export to pdf it gives according to the page size set, but not while viewing, is there any work around to this in SSRS 2005.
I defined a report based on a matrix having 3 field groups. I defined Interactiveheight to have fixe number of rows in HTML rendering. My problem is that this parameter is only taken into account after first page. My first page always breaks after end of first field group + 1 row of next group.
Do you have any idea, what's causing such behaviour? And what would be the solution?
I have a situation where a textBox can span multiple pages. When this occurs I lose a label that I have at the top of the page, containing data from the dataset. The label is set to repeat on every page and works great with the exception of this case.
So my questions would be :
1) is it i possible to force the render of the a label (a textbox) in the case that a page break is due to an abhorrently long textbox value? -OR- 2) is it possible to inject a field from my dataset into the page header?
I have a report that prints 20+ invoices and I need a page break after each invoice.
STEPS TO REPRO: 1) Create a report to show an invoice (one row of data) using a query that pulls 20+ rows of invoice data. 2) Table Properties | "Insert a page break after this table" is checked.
How can I add a Columns Group page break for the Group Categegory in Reporting Services 2005 so the first page break takes place after Total A and rest of the data moves to the next page?
I have a letter I am creating in SSRS and would like the data to flow smoothly from one page to the next even if the whole section doesn't fit on a page instead of it forcing a page break which results in a large blank space on the page before. I have put the data into multiple text boxes (can grow is set for the text boxes) because of formatting requirements (I also tried the table object).
--Start Example--
TEXT HEADER 1 very long report letter information here (call it detail 1)
TEXT HEADER 2 even more very long report letter information here (call it detail 2)
TEXT HEADER 3 The term ""Accountant€™s Letter"" as used herein shall mean the certain math verification report, to be provided by an independent certified public accountant, certifying that the Securities shall generate the debt service payments due under the Loans. (call it detail 3)
--End Example--
So assume that everything but detail 3 fits neatly on the first page. Now part of detail #3 should fit on page one but it pushes the whole section to page 2 because it doesn't all fit. All I want is for say line to to be the last line on page #1 and lines 2 and 3 to be in page 2 instead of lines 1 through 3 on page 2. In reality, this letter is about 6 pages and each section is about a half page to 2 pages. This perceived minor issue has cost me a good day+ set back. Thanks,
I've been looking for a way to apply a page break in my report and I've read a few of the solutions presented in the forum. However, to my understanding, they are only applicable to SSRS 2005. Is there a similar hack around the problem for 2003?
I have a report for a Quote print that has 1 table with 1 group in it by Quote #. The detail level is showing the line items on the quote and a second detail line for a sub report to show any notes. If the quote has 1 line on it, I am always getting a page break after the sub report even if it doesn't display anything.
The report shows the following:
Note each of these will contain a rectangle that the text boxes are displayed in unless it is a sub-report then no rectange.
Group header 1 - Address information Group header 1 - contains a sub report for some notes Group header 1 - Opening paragraph Group header 1 - Blank line Group header 1 - contains the line headings Detail - contains the line details Detail - contains the sub report for line notes Detail - blank line for spacing Group footer 1 - hidden based on expression Group footer 1 - hidden based on expression ** One of these 2 lines will print based on the expression Group footer 1 - sub report for more notes Group footer 1 - Closing paragraph Group footer 1 - Signature area Group footer 1 - sub report for last page of terms / scope notes. NOTE: This sub report also contains a table and the table has a page break before so that I can get these on another page.
So, after # 8 above there is a page break. The remaining footers before # 14 easily fit on the rest of the page. The group 1 also has a page break at the end so it breaks between quotes. I have tried to insert a page break on the rectangle for # 13 and remove the page break on the sub report in # 14 but although everything fits it doesn't page break before the sub report.
It looks like it always page breaks after the last page in the sub report.
I have a table with five groups in sql server reporting service. If i give a page break at end in each group and deploy the report the report is fine when viewed in the report viewer(UI).
But when i export it to a PDF i get the Groups footer is a separate page. How can i get the PDF file same as it appears in report viewer.
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.
