View 6 RepliesHi 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

Hi guys,

how do you get the footer to appear at the end of each page?
thanks

After digging for some time now into the "guts" of SSRS, I am wondering if anyone out there has any ideas which might help me at this point.
I am trying to write an Invoice report.
Each report can have 1 to n invoices on it.
Each invoice can have 1 to n line items (spanning several pages for the larger ones)
Each page must have a fixed header and footer with account and payment information on it (the page header and page footer work OK for this).
And here is the problem. Each invoice must also include 1 to n images at the end of the report. 2 on a page and take up an entire 8.5 by 11 inch page. (spanning many pages when many line items exist)
Since the report already has a page header and footer with the report detail stuffed in a table in the middle of the page (report body), I am stuck.
I have read several posts which talk about having a can-grow container with a subreport in the existing footer, but I can't even come close to getting this to work. My footer would have to take up the entire page and having nothing but a subreport in it.
I can not provide a link to the images in the report, as each report must print in its entirety without user involvement (no drilling down).
I am thinking that my report is too complex for SSRS at this time. I would love to be proven wrong by someone on this forum.
Thanks for any and all replies.

How do I display the SQL embedded major version number of my rdl report.
Thanks,

HI,
I working on an Invoice report on the last page of each invoice, there is section the client cut off
that section has:
Company Logo
Company Address
Invoice number
INvoice date
Sub total
PSP tax
and Amount due
The Height of the page footer is 1.71823in
This is the work around that I did,
I added a page footer, put a rectangle in it, set the Visibility expression on =Globals.PageNumber < Globals.TotalPages, so it will only show on the last page.
My problem is, on each page I am getting the page footer space, the page footer does not
supress, it's just hidden and every page is having the page footer space in the buttom.
I also set the PrintOnLast page on the page Footer, but that did not work as well.
in print on other pages as well.
I also tried to fit that page footer in a very small Height, but that did not work too, the page footer does not auto grow and the info is getting cut.
Please help.
I have a report that is being called via stored proc, and i want to group by contract. when report gets generated i get multiple contracts info. but will be grouped/sorted by contract.
please how can i have a group header and also a group footer to show a summary of each contract information with some calculated fields in it.
i may get 100 records related to 10 contracts , 10 rows for each contract.
as soon as the first contract info is shown on the report it has to show a summary related to the first contract in the group footer, and then continue populating the second contract info and so on.
Please i am totally new to reporting and help would be appreciated. thank you all.
Hi,
Is there a way to dynamically make report header and footer fields change location (or size)? I have many matrix reports that grow in width and then the header and footers do not look good.
Another example is I have a line that is in the header...I would like this to grow to the width of the report, which again is not static on a matrix report.
Thanks.
Hi forum members.
I'm a new SQL Reporting user and could use some guidance.
Here is a simple explanation of my application: imagine a report which prints out a grade report for each of 10 students. Depending on how many notes a teacher makes on the student's individual grade report, each student's report might be 1 or 2 pages long.
To create this report I just used a List report item and laid out a typical grade report and filled in the appropriate fields (name, teacher, etc.) from my dataset query.
When I run the report, it is running great and the students and their grade reports all print out.
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure each student's name is on page 2 if the grade report for that student goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up). I tried using a Report Footer, but that just put the first student's name at the bottom of every page. I could put a textfield 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).
How can I create a footer for each set of pages? Basically this would be a "footer" to the list control itself.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
I had developed a simple report, that has header, body and footer. In footer i have copyright.
Now the problem is that, when i export it to excel the copyright text i had in the footer doesn't export.
any one had any idea.

Any suggestions on how to hide the header and footer information if there isn't any data returned on the report?
View 7 Replies View RelatedIn Visual Studio, when previewing a report with a footer that has two rows of text, the footer appears to display correctly. When I export to Word, the footer for the first page looks as if it has shifted down slightly and the second line is missing. Subsequent pages show the footer correctly.

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?
Thank you for your time in reading this.
How can I calculate a subtotal for a Report Item? I have a textbox(lets call it "PlusMinus") in the detail section of my table, which is a calculated textbox of two others (lets call them "Budget" and "Spent"). So, PlusMinus = (Budget - Spent). What I would like to do is get a subtotal for PlusMinus. I have tried several ways, using Sum() or RunningValue, even tried to write code, but I can't seem to get it right. Any ideas??
Thanks in advance!

A space was added as the first character of the contents in the Left, Center and Right section of the Report Header and Footer exported to Excel. Example :
In the RDL, Header values are:
Left = "Product Report" ; Center = "Confidential" ; Right = "Page n of n"
In the exported report to Excel, Header properties (-->File.-->Page Setup--> Header/Footer Tab) are:
Left = " Product Report" ; Center = " Confidential" ; Right = " Page n of n"
Is there a way to eliminate that space character?
Thanks in advance.
I am exporting SSRS report to Excel I am aware that excel doesn't show footer , It shows in print preview but my footer has text box which have text disclaimer more than 255 characters, the data getting truncated.
View 3 Replies View RelatedWe 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 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 am having a problem viewing my footer on all pages of my report. I have created a page footer that reads
="The " & ReportItems("textbox213").Value
I am getting the value on the first page only and then only getting "The" on the rest.
My "PrintOnFirstPage" and "PrintOnLastPage" are both marked True in the Page Footer properties. I am completely confused. This is not the only textbox in my footer I have two others both which print on all pages, but neither of them use the ReportItems.
Can anyone help on this?
Thanks....Cin
I have a report, using a table, that is grouped by acct. The acct indicates either revenue or expenses. I have a total in my table that will give me the totals for revenue, and the total for expenses. At the end of the report, in the table footer, I want to add a Surplus/Deficit total, which would be the total revenue - total expenses, but I can't seem to get it right. I tried the following:
=Sum(ReportItems!table1_Group1.Value)
thinking that it would give me the total by the group, but I get the error that an aggregate function can only be used on page header and footer. How do I just get a basic grand total in my report?
Thanks in advance!
I have a report with a group total and a report total. The report total is the sum of all group totals. When I run the report in report manager (sql server 2005 SP2) it shows the report total on the last page of the report with the group total for teh client.
for instance the first page has
Report Title
Details
Group Total
Second Page
Details
Group Total
Last Page
Details
Group Total
Report Total
When I export the report to pdf the Report Total is printing on its own separate page which is not what I want. I would like the report total be on the last page of teh report just like shown above. The report total is in the table footer.
Pls help.
Hi everyone,
For some odd reason the footer of my report never gets printed. The footer contains the page number and report name and is very important to my report. I made sure the margins are 1 inches for all sides, made sure Footers printing in first and last pages are checked in the properties section, and gave it a large amount of space around the textbox. Is there anything I am doing wrong? Also, the header and body prints correctly.
Thanks
Hi everybody!

Please help me.
Hi,
There is an option in ssis to skip one or more header rows, but there isn't any thing to skip one or more footer rows.
Example:
header bla bla
1;"Joe";24;"New York"
2;"John";54;"Washington"
3;"Phil";36;"San Francisco"
footer bla bla
I skip the first record in the source definition. So I have left 4 records. How do I skip the fourth (last) record? The value contains some statistics so I cann't look for a special value. Is there a way to skip the last record with a script component?

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.

I have a tabular report with grouping on the following fields:
Grouped rows: MDC, DrgDesc, ChronicOther
Detail row: Cases
The desired output follows:
MDC1
DrgDesc1
Chronic 50
Other 25
Total cases for DrgDesc1= 75
DrgDesc2
Chronic 20
Other 33
Total cases for DrgDesc2 = 53
etc....
I have everything working up to the Total cases for each DrgDesc. I tried adding a group footer to the Cases row, however this sub-totals for Chronic and Other rather than summing them together. Example is below.
MDC1
DrgDesc1
Chronic 50
50
Other 25
25
DrgDesc2
Chronic 20
20
Other 33
33
etc....
How can I achieve the desired result?
Hi,
I have a report with text in the footer.
When I exported it to excel, every thing except from the footer is exported (the report body and header are OK).
I'm not getting any error but the text in the footer just doesn't appear.
Any solution?
Thanks.
Is there any way to know you're at the last row in a group footer? I'd like to just hide all other rows except that one...
Thanks,
Steve
