In 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.
View 2 RepliesReport 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.
I build a tablix A in SSRS, which contains a tablix B and a textbox C. When the report is exported to word,  I found that there is white space between the tablix B and textbox C if the row of tablix B is spilled over to next page.
If I export the report to PDF, the white space issue is gone.

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.

Hi Ronnie
Sorry I was late in getting back to you as I was out of the office in the last couple of days
I made some checks and it seems the problem that you have is a genuine one.
The workarounds that you specified are the only solutions available now.
I checked with the development team and even though they are aware of the problem, they told me that there won€™t be changes to fix it in SQL 2008
So you have to decide on one of the workarounds that you specified
Best Regards,
Hi Tamer,
I wonder if you had any updates on our issue with RS2005.
Thanks,
Thanks for your help on this issue, I am going to more research on your solution (moving the footer to the body).
Meanwhile, I be looking forward for your sample as well.
Thanks again for all your efforts.

Hi neil
I think there is a way to implement your need in Reporting Services
Reporting Services has a free form designer which means that whatever you put on the report will appear in the same order in the final view. This is why we don€™t have a report footer.
Instead of putting the stub in the footer, just put it after the last item.
You can use a list dataregion to make sure that the stub will always appear at the bottom of the page in the expected location
Ronnie, I hope that solves your problem
Contact me directly if you need more info on how to implement this
Best Regards,
Tamer Farag
Here are all the facts I learned about Reporting Services "Report Footer" limitations and workaround I have tried.
Objective: On the last page of an invoice at the bottom of the last page have a stub of the invoice:
Issue: Reporting Services does not support Report Footer only Page Footer. (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1439673&SiteID=1)
Work around that I have tried:
Work around 1:
I have created a page footer with a rectangle and set the Visibility expression to =Globals.PageNumber < Globals.TotalPages
Results: The page footer did show up only in the last page, but created a block of space in the first pages.
I was trying to see if there is a way to suppress the spaces from the first pages, and found out it's not supported in Reporting Services
This behavior where the report body would consume the space of the empty page header & footer is currently not supported.
-- Robert (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=340650&SiteID=1)
Work around 2:
I tried to fit all the footer objects in the rectangle in a very small height range, hoping it will auto grow at run time. That did not work as well.
The textboxes did auto grow, but the Rectangle object or the Page Footer itself does not auto grow, cause to cut the footer information.
Work around 3:
Set the property on the page footer PrintOnFirstPage to False, and PrintOnLastPage = True, Reporting services does print the footer in pages in between.
works great for reports that have only 2 pages, but not not more then 2 pages
Best workaround:
Instead of having a space block at the bottom of each page, have a marketing text on every page except the last page
I had overlap a textbox on top of the rectangle (in the page footer) and having this expression on the Visibility =Globals.PageNumber = Globals.TotalPages.
For most of the invoices which are one page, that text will not show up and the Invoice stub will show up
For Invoices which are two pages or more, the marketing text will show up in the first pages only and in the last page the Invoice stub will show.
note: this workaround cause a warning saying "Overlapping report items are not supported in all renderers."
but it is supported for PDF.
I have created range bar chart and I am not able to achieve the following tasks.
1. Change X-axis Label Format to Quarter:
I have x-axis with dates and y axis of project groups. I have changed x-axis interval type = month and interval=3.
 Â
Set the Maximum = Â Max(ProjectEndDate) and Minimum = Min(ProjectStartDate).
Now my chart showing 3 months x-axis interval dates in mm/dd/yyyy format. I want to change this interval date format to Quarter. The problem is LabelsFormat property is not recognize  the "=Q or q or quarter" and also not accepting the expressions. How can I achieve this?
2. Placing series side by side when it is not overlapping
I want to place the same group series side by side only when the previous project end date is less than next project start date, otherwise place the next project to next row. How can I achieve this?

Hello
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've created a report that will print on a pre-printed paper. Is there a way to embed a word document into a report or some other type on document. I'm not able to format the text like in word.
View 1 Replies View RelatedWe had finished converting a lot of our reports from Crystal Reports to SSRS. Upon doing so, one report, the customer's invoice has comments in the report that contain (s) at then end of a word to indicate singular or plural. Crystal reports handled the wrap correctly and kept the word together including the (s), but in SSRS, the (s) is being wrapped to the next line, which doesn't look good at all.

When I enable editing, the header and footers appear correctly. What is happening here, and how do I correct it, if at all? I don't know that my customer is likely to accept having to enable editing to address this.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have a request from the customer to export a report to Word as a read-only document. I am restricted to out-of-the-box SSRS 2008, so I cannot write any custom export functionality.
The customer has the ability to export as PDF, and I suggested that, but before I tell them there's no easy solution, I wanted to get input from other Reporting Services folks.
I have a report which shows up as below,
Product Type - A
Product Name  - 1
Product Price - Â 1
Product Name - 2
Product Price - 2
Product Type - B
Product Name - 1.1
Product Price - 1.1
Product Name - 2.1
Product Price - 2.1
Product Name - 3.1
Product Price  - 3.1
Similarly i have different Product types and product names and its prices underneath each product type. As you can see, there might be varied number of products under the product type so i am grouping it on Product type. The issue is when i export the report to pdf or word, when ever we have a big group of Product Type( example: Product Type X and it has 10 different Products under it) along with few other smaller groups, the big group tends to jump on to the next page of word or pdf and leaves a big empty space in the previous page. Any way i can break those big groups and  fit  as many as we can on the page and the rest should follow onto the next page rather than leaving the previous page with blank space.Â
For the past couple of days I've been having an issue with Reporting Services. From what I can understand reporting services doesn't work well when exporting to word.
The scenario is quite simple, I am developing a report for a client with a 'master page', which works as the cover, and executes 2 sub-reports with one table each, nothing fancy. We don't export this report to pdf, because the internal client has to attach another report that is impossible to automate, so they generate that report via excel and integrate it on our word document before sending the document to their business partners.
Our main problem is that we can't export the header/footers to word.
i have report with parameter and he can have a null in parameter ther is null word can i change it to another word like all or any thing else

View 5 Replies View RelatedHi There,
Our DBA has installed reporting services on a server and now in order to access the report manager, one has to be an Admin on that Server. I am guessing that there is a mistake in the configuration of Reporting Services. Usually it should allow anybody who was added to the roles in the properties section of the Report Manager, right? I have also added the users to the DB..
Also I am using Windows Authentication to access Report Catalog items (Reporting Services is installed on Server2) from a web Application(deployed on Server1) and displaying the report using report viewer. For some reason, server1 has to be in an Admin role on Server2 to access the report catalog/report. This is kinda strange for me as I don't want everybody to be an Admin on Server2. Can anybody please point in the right direction?
Thanks.

We are about to implement SSRS reports (SQL Server 2012), and have found one issue we don't like. The report looks great when we open it in pdf format. However, when we open it in Excel format, we want it to be the raw data, not look like the pdf report. I tried the simpl headers, and that removed the page header/footer. However, the report format was still in play.In other words, we would like the report when opened in Excel, to look just like it does when we open it as a CSV.I have tried to modify the config file a couple of times. Here is my latest attempt:
Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">CSV (comma delimited)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>
   <Extension Name="CSV" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.Rendering.DataRenderer.CsvReport,Microsoft.ReportingServices.DataRendering">
    <OverrideNames>
     <Name Language="en-US">Excel (csv)</Name>
    </OverrideNames>
   </Extension>
Essentially I have set Visible = "false" for the Excel type, and tried to duplicate the CSV, changing the name to make it look to the user like it is "Excel". This fails. I checked the event viewer, and I see two entries.. The RSReportServer.config file has been modified. (Information)The value for UrlRoot in RSReportServer.config is not valid. The default value will be used instead.I literally took the file, opened it in Notepad, pasted in my changes, from another notepad window, and tried to run the report. I did not see EITHER of the two names I expected, using the OverrideNames tag. As I said earlier, I was able to affect the outcome, by setting SimpleHeaders to true (or however it is identified). That did work in that the page header and footer was removed.
