How To Get A Data Bound Page Footer In SSRS In A Report Having Multiple Tables?
Feb 19, 2008
hello to all..
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.
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.?
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.
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 placed a textbox in a page footer of SSRS which is linked with a databound text box in the body of the report.. which i intended would give the report databound footer... but now the problem is tat they dont show up on every page.. earlier they use to mostly not show up at all or show up on the first or the last page...
could some1 help.??
once i render it to pdf.. all the page footers cant be seen.
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 have a report with 5-6 tables showing different summary information. These are set up to all go one after another and there are no page breaks. The only instance I would like a page break is if a table content is getting split cross pages. Is there a way for me to specify that a table will be on a new page if it is broken accross multiple pages?
(This is due to Row growth, not column growth) (KeepTogether is set to true)
I have a report with 2 tablixes, both the tablixes can be hidden based on the parameter selection. The 1st tablix has a drill through action on one of the columns, that calls the 2nd tablix in the SAME report. Once you click on the drill through, the 1st tablix is no longer visible, only the 2nd one is.
The report is working fine, until you export it to CSV file. Once you are on the 2nd tablix (1st one is NOT visible at this time in the report), and then when you export it to CSV, BOTH, the 1st tablix as well as 2nd tablix are visible in the CSV file. Why does the 1st tablix come up in CSV IF you just exported 2nd tablix to CSV?
Is there a workaround to NOT show the parent/1st tablix at all if the 2nd tablix is exported? Excel works fine!I know sub-reports instead of multiple tablixes might solve this issue.
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 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 where in I have a combination of matrix ,table data regions.
The problem what I am facing is that the data tables don't remain fixed in their position and they tend to move down.
E.g. table 1 and table 2 are on the same page in design time side by side (right and left)however during the runtime the table1 is pushed down and table2 is at its position .
Now how can I keep them all fixed in their same position. Most of the tables have fixed size rows and some who have high size of rows have been put at the end . What settings we can set?
Hi All, In my SSRS report. I have a report which has only one page. In preview it is showing as only 1 page but when I am printing the report. I am getting two printouts with the second page as a blank.. Please help me in printing the page that contains report. Intially I used a Page header, at that it used to print the blank page with a header only. Now as I removed the header it is printing the page without header i.e Blank Page.. So please help me in prinitng a single page that has the report. It is urgent,..
I'm writing a report that will have data for mulitple accounts btoken up by page breaks(on account)
The user would like to see the name of the account in the footer. Since the entire report will consist of many accounts using first or last in the footer element is not an option.
Does anyone know of a way to get the account that is displayed in the body of the page to display in the footer?
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 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 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.
How do I display multiple parameter values on report page from a multi-value report parameter. For example, I have a report parameter where users can select multiple attendance codes and I want them displayed at the top of the report after it's run.
Currently, only the first value is showing on the report.
We are post-deployment with a serious reporting issue that's causing us to rethink our reporting solution. We're considering moving from what we have to SQL Server Reporting Services (client side).
I have spent the past couple of days getting up to speed on this feature and seeing if we can easily migrate it into our existing application. However, I've hit a couple of stumbling blocks and was hoping perhaps someone here could either tell me the solution or point me in the right direction.
I'm not having any problems creating basic reports (e.g. flat data).
However, I am having problems creating reports where there are related tables in a dataset.
The way it works with our existing solution is that I get a dataset (which contains several data tables) and point it to the report's datasource. That report expects those tables and I have defined table-relationships in the report which process and display the information correctly.
I'm not having as much luck with RDLC.
I can go into futher detail about how I'm creating the report, but let me just ask these general questions first: 1. Can I set a dataset containing multiple datatables equal to a property on an RDLC report and that RDLC report know how to treat and display the data? 2. Is there a better/smarter than this to get a field selection from my datasource (remember, this information is coming from a stored procedure so connecting directly to the database is not an option): a. In code, populate dataset b. In code, write dataset schema to xml (e.g. an xsd file) c. In Visual Studio, add the XSD file to project d. Use fields from XSD file to drag and drop fields on report
A fancy example would be nice too. I've googled like crazy the past couple of days and downloaded as many samples as I can find (including the ones on ftponline.com, gotreportviewer.com, "Tudor's WebLog", and several others). However, I have yet to find one that uses grouping and related datatables.
Thank you so much (if, for nothing else, reading this post )
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 Report In that report I need to break out company code and export this report on excel and each company code shown its own tab in excel .I just add image about report details.I tried this issue but i cant get the exact names on excel sheet.
I have a report which shows around 8 columns. The report is in landscape mode(Width -11in and Height-8.5 in). I want to display only header in the first page means basically I want to add a cover page.
I have used tablix to display data. To display an empty page, I have added a rectangle before tablix and made add a page break after true. But while exporting to pdf, I am getting 2 blank pages with header. But I need only one.
I have used Report viewer control to show ssrs 2005 report in my aspx page. Can we show the SSRS 2005 report on the aspx page in any other way? any info on this is appreciated.
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.
Hi - I am pretty new to Reporting Services. I need to create a report where a single result row from the Select Statement populates an entire page of data. The regular grid or Matrix reports don't fit this need. Is there a simple way to do this?
