No Table Header When Subreport Overflows To New Page
Feb 25, 2008
Hi guys,
I hope hope you can help me because I am sort of helpless here. I searched the web for this issue ("reporting services subreport overflow to new page no table header in main report"), however could not seem to be lucky enogh to find a result. The search string pretty much sums it up: A table cell of my report contains a sub-report that displays multiple lines of data itself. If the data output of the sub-report is long enough to overflow to the next page, the table header of the main report table is not displayed on the new page.
Some background info:
The data table of this report has three data rows per record, the first of which contains a cell containing an employee's name and some more merged cells containing the sub-report in question. The header row of the main report data table has the attribute "RepeatOnNewPage" set to true and the data table itself has the attribute "RepeatHeaderOnNewPage" also set to true. If it matters, the SQL Server version is the one needed to run MS CRM 3.0 - 2000 it was, IIRC. My software design environment ist Visual Studio 2003 with the Reporting Services addon.
So, if anyone of you knows, what do I have to do to display the table header even on the pages a sub-report overflows to?
I very much look forward to your answers or helpful links.
Best regards
Tobias

My problem is about the rendering behaivor of large subreports (more than 1 page) In that cases the subreport begins in a second page (a new page), it skips the end of the first page and starts on the top of the next page, leaving the first page with blank space. Another efect of this behaivor is that the parent table's header row will not print to the next pages even it the RepeatOnNewPage is set to true.
I saw many posts related to this (I list them at the end) and only one answer from the Microsoft team (in the post of the user Luca B. - sub-reports don't start in the first page http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=18227&SiteID=1). In resume, the answer is that there are an implicit keep toghether property and that this behaivor will be reviwed in the fucture
I am using SQL Server 2005 with SP2 and the "behaivor" continues.
Someone of the Microsoft team can tell us if this behaivor will be changed and when?
I find the folowing posts reletade to the problem:

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.
Any thoughts on what I might be doing incorrect?

Hi All,
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()
Any Solution?
Thanks and Regards

I have a report that I created and the report was working until I added some fields to a group footer row in a table.
My table has 5 group levels. I had information displaying in the 5th level header group and detail. It was working fine. Then I added some fields to the 4th level group footer. Now it displays only the Page header, Table header, and the 4th level group footer data.
What happened to the rest of the data?
All the cells and rows I want to display have the Visibility Hidden set to false. I tried removing the objects I added (to the 4th level group footer) and it still does not work. Is this a bug or did I set something that is hiding the data.
Thanks,
Fred

I am making a book-like report, I am using a report that has a header and calling a sub-report that has it's own header. However the sub-report header is not showing on the parent report. Parent report header is prevailing over the sub-report. Is it possible to have both headers displaying?

I have report with a table, that generates rows to more than 1 page. When the user prints the report, each page should show the table header.
Presently or by default , the table header is shown(printed) only on the first page.
Please let me know, how can I achieve this.

I need some help. I am writing a report in SSRS 2005 that I then need to export to Excel. When I put a report header I would expect the header to not display in the Excel spreadsheet until the Print Preview or the Print. The report footer works just fine I put some text in the footer, and it shows up in the footer. The header though, shows up as a row in the Excel spreadsheet that then causes columns to merge. How do I get the report header to act like a page header?

Hello,
If I have a report that includes a page header, the report viewer will render the report at the full width, but if I hide the page header and show only the body it will use the absolute width of the report.
I have a 7" wide report, with .75" borders set on each side.
Interactive & Print size are set to 8.5x11
Changing these sizes has no effect on the behavior of the viewer, which appears to ignore them.
When I view this report in the local viewer the contents fill the window if there is no page header.
If I enable the page header then the report is drawn at 8.5" wide, leaving a _big_ white border on the right side.
Any comments or workarounds that anyone knows? I know the local viewer is not a standard configuration (at least it seems) but it is what we need to use.Thanks,//Andrew

In SRSS 2005 (SP2) my page header seems to take up the same amount of space on the
1st page it would take if it were to print; I have PRINT ON FIRST PAGE set to
false - the header doesn't print - it just leaves the same amount of space.
How do you get the report to ignore that. I do have a report header built
into the body of my report. I have tested this by increasing the size of my
page header and it does move the report up or down on the 1st page by that
amount.

Hi All,
I've got a main report with five subreports. Based on a value of a parameter in the main report one the subreports is filled with data, all the other subreports will have no records. When the report is displayed in on the reportserver it is working fine, bit when I export the data to a CVS format, also the element names of the subreports are added to the CSV Output.
When i change the value of Data Output of the subreport item in the main report to Auto it doesn't export the records of the filled subreport.
How can I disable the export of the dataelement names in the CSV export?
Hope you can help
Thanks,
Eric

I have created a "parent" table with various columns and added an extra detail row to drop a nested subreport into the table passing parameters into the sub in order to obtain the child subreport. The problem is that the the while I can line up the columns in the sub report with the parent report,
I observe something like this:
parent columns:
a b c d e f
child columns
a b c d e f
The problem is in the last column of the parent "f" it appears stretched out for some reason-about an inch even though can grow is set to false.
Its like the child is forcing the parent's last column to expand yet when i observe the border around the table in the child the "f" is clearly more narrow than the parent's f despite my matching the column widths in the layout exactly the same . In preview mode, the parent's last column is extended width-about an inch more was added. Note I tested it with No data in the child's last column and it still expands the parent column by that inch.
Also note when I dropped the subreport into the parent report I'm merging the cells on the detail row that the subreport fits across columns a, b, c, d, e, f.
So even though the subreports data lines up properly under a, b, c, d, and e; the parent's "f" still expands outward.
Any clues or suggests on what I should consider changing. I'm stumped.

I think I know the answer but I have a report that is supposed to print in Ledger. It has a header that has report information on the left and on the right has page count and date run. When the user resizes the page to letter, only the first part of the header shows (left piece with report information). Instead of resizing the header it seems it truncates it. Is there a way to resize it. If I move the right side over it looks centered on the Ledger size.

What we've found is that when you have two reports where one navigates to the other, if you click on the second page of the second report, it takes you to the second page of the original report. If you navigate over to the subreport again and click for the second page, it works appropriately. This is definitely a no-go for production code and this may delay our ship date because I would think this is definitely undesirable.
Conditions:
ASP.NET Report Viewer using Remote Reports
Report that links to another report
Both reports return more than one page
Reporting Services installed
Steps to Reproduce:
Download the source code here.
Follow the directions (near the bottom of the post) to get the project set up.
Run it and click on a link in the first report to go to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2 of the second report.
Notice how it takes you back to page 2 of the first report (this doesn't happen when you are in preview mode in the Reporting Services project and I don't believe it does this in a smart client application).
Click on a link in the first report to go back to the second report.
Click the arrow for page 2.
Notice how it takes you to page 2 of the second report.
Here is a link with source code and a more detailed explanation: http://geekswithblogs.net/robz/archive/2007/11/21/Reporting-Services-2005-BUG-Report-Linking-and-Paging---ASP.NET.aspx
So what I am looking for is both a workaround for now and if this is determined to be a bug, to be fixed in the next service pack.

I have a requirement that I'm having a difficult time figuring out.
I have a number of subreports, 27 of them, and I need to put them all on a single report, and have each one render on a separate page. Each of them I can be sure is a single page - how do I force a page break after each subreport?
I've been trying a number of strategies, tables, lists, rectangles, etc, with no luck...
Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hello,
I have a subreport that consists of a header, text boxes, and a table beneath that I'm exporting it to create a pdf. The report shows fine in the report designer, however when I export it to create a pdf and there's alot of rows in my table, the text boxes will not repeat on the next page. The header shows along with the remaining rows from the table. Is there a way for me to have my text boxes show on page overflow. Thanks for any help you give.
Best regards

Hello,
We have an asp.net page that pops-up from the main site and has the report service control on it. This first pop-up page generates the report and has embedded links for multiple sub reports. When we click on the link for the sub report it generates the report but it stays in the first pop-up. Is there a way to have another pop-up(preferably a different pop-up for each link the user clicks) page? Thanks in advance.

Subreports use an implicit keeptogether which creates a page break before the subreport if it cannot entirely fit on the previous page. I saw in another forum that MS was working on updating this functionality. Has there been any update to this?

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?
Thanks in advance for all replies.

Hi guys,
I'm doing a local report which requires me to have a data field on page header(company name & address particularly). Since it is not possible to place a data field on page header, what I did was placed the field instead on the body, and then I placed a text box on the page header and then reference the data fields in the body to the textbox.
Everything looks ok, but I found out that when I try to move to another page, all the values on the header will be empty. It seems that it requires that the same data fields should exist in the body of report.
Are there any other workaround here? I just need the values on the page header persist all through out the report. BTW I'm doing a report that contains combination of fields and table, to be specific, I'm creating a resume / bio data.
Any inputs would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I've added a hidden field to my report so I can show the value in the page header using ReportItems. However it only works for the first page - the value is blank on subsequent pages. Does the hidden field need to appear on all pages of the report? Would I need to make it a hidden field in a repeated list or table?

I want to include a value from my result set in the header of my report but get the "You cannot reference a field value in the page header or footer" message. Here's why I want to do it:
The report uses three parameters: Date1, Date2 and Type. If Type is set to DATES the stored proc uses dates 1 and 2 as criteria to limit the returned records. Because Dates 1 and 2 are set in the report I can use the parameters collection to get those values and include them in the title of the report. If the Type paramter is set to MONTH, dates 1 and 2 are ignored and the stored proc determines what the dates are going to be using a UDF called from within the proc. The only way I could think of to get these calculated dates back from the proc was to insert them into the temp table it creates. Cheesy, I know... but I got the dates to the result set. Problem is I can't use them for what I need. So... to make a short question very long... how can I get the values in the result set into something I can use in the header or footer?

I have a report that I put links to other reports in the page header.
When I click on those links, I get the error:
"source of the report definition has not been specified"
If I move the links to the body of the report, they work fine.
Is this a bug or a limitation, and will we eventually be able to put links in the header?
Thanks!

I want to display a phone directory by department.
I created a list and told it to group on department and then I put a table in the list that had PhoneNo, EmployeeName as the columns.
Now the list works in that it seperates that table out by department (so 5 departments means 5 instances of the table with a text box above the table but inside the list with DepartmentName.Value).
The problem though is that text box only appears once for each table, the first time the table is generated. I can't get the department name to display at the start of each page.
Do I need another sublist or something, how can I get the department name textbox to appear at the start of each page for my list?
So what I have is:
DEPARTMENT NAME: Sales
---(table starts here)
.............5555...Smith
.............lots more names.......
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAGE BREAK - - - - - - - - - -
---(table continues on from last page...)
.............4444...Johnson
.............3246...Benson
---(table ends here)
------------------------------------new iteration of this, so the next department is IT and this all repeats again
What I want to get is:
DEPARTMENT NAME: Sales
---(table starts here)
.............5555...Smith
.............lots more names.......
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - PAGE BREAK - - - - - - - - - -
DEPARTMENT NAME: Sales (this is repeated as it is the start of a new page, in a perfect world I'd be able to even say "Continued..." after the department name on all pages that were not the first page it appeared)
---(table continues on from last page...)
.............4444...Johnson
.............3246...Benson
---(table ends here)
------------------------------------new iteration of this, so the next department is IT and this all repeats again with department name at the start of each and every page

Hi all,
Does anyone know of a way to keep from exporting a page header when rendering in Excel. We have a default header (title and logo) that I would like to suppress so that users don't need to delete the rows prior to sorting (to eliminate merged cells).
Thanks,
Simone
