How To Force The Page Footer To Display At The *bottom* Of The Page
Apr 3, 2006Is 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.
Thanks.

Table Group Footer At Bottom Of Page: Possible?
Nov 29, 2007
I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?
Absolutely Page-bottom Alignment On Report Footer: Impossible?
Mar 21, 2007Relative 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?
Thank you for your time in reading this.

Reporting Services :: SSRS Report Page Footer - How To Fix At Absolute Bottom With Dynamic Body Content
May 20, 2015We 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.
Expression After Table Object Forced To Display On The Last Page Even There Are Still Spaces At The Bottom Of The First Page.
Oct 16, 2006The following objects are placed on the Report body of the Report pane of SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services :
<textbox: expression1>
<textbox: expression2>
<table:table1 with at least 30 columns and 30 expressions>
<textbox: string1> - considered as the Title in the Footer section of the report
<texbox:string2> <textbox:expression3>
<textbox:string3> <textbox:expression4>
<textbox:string4> <textbox:expression5>
<textbox:expression6>
I can't find any explanation why is it string1 and string 2 of the footer section of my report displayed separately from the expression3 which is aligned on it and the rest of the object on the second page.
The expected design is that all Footer items should be displayed together of whether it is placed on the first page or on the last page.
As a workaround of this, I converted string 1 into an expression (Added = and enclosed the string with double quote).. As a result, all of the items in the Footer section are now placed together on the last page of the report.
I also remember one of the issue I encountered before where the Footer items where placed together on the first page and still have space at the bottom of the page, but then expression 6 is forced to display (alone) on the last page of my report.
I can't find any discussion related to this, I wish somebody could give me an idea why RS behaved like this.
Thanks in advance
Page Totals: Table Footer Or Page Footer?
Nov 28, 2007
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.
Display Or Hide Page Footer Depending On The Page
Nov 13, 2007Hi all
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.
thank you

Any Way To Make A Page Footer Only For The First Page
Feb 18, 2007
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.
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

I was going to try an IIF statement, but realized there is no visibility style property associated with the Page Footer section.
If you have any ideas, let me know.

Print At Bottom Of Page.
May 29, 2007Hi.
I know the function of being able to set a section of a report to print at the bottom of the page, but does anyone know any work arounds for this? I have a main report (statement) which ive done a work around, to include the details i need at the bottom of the page into the footer, but then i have a second report (invoice) that needs to be included as subreport, which also needs infomation at the bottom of the page, but as its a subreport, sql reports does not allow for footer/header infomation in a subreport.
Unfortuantly i can not split the two reports out as they need to be printed together.
Any help/recomendations would be greatly received.
Thanks

SQL 2012 :: Why Does SHRINKFILE Page Latch On A Page In Different File
Sep 28, 2015I am running a DBCC SHRINKFILE on "FILE1" of a database (it has fileid = 1)...intent is to remove 70GB of file space:
DBCC SHRINKFILE (N'FILE1' , 400000).
For the SPID that's doing the shrink, In activity monitor you can see:
Waittype: PAGEIOLATCH_EX on resource: 9:3:15411328
(the DB is dbid=9)
But why does it need a page from fileid=3? Are there page dependencies between files that prevent moving a page within a given file? Does it need that fileid3 page to come along?
Its just sitting there in the SUSPENDED state for the last hour....I am going to leave it another 5 hours or so before cancelling.
The dm_exec_requests has an estimated percent complete at 83% and holding....not sure if I can believe that.
How To Show Bottom Border Line Of A Table Row At Each Page End
Jan 25, 2007Hi all,
I'm having an interesting problem. In my report, I use a table to show my data set. The borders of the table are giving me a hard time...
The problem is, I'm not being able to display the bottom border for a row, but only at the end of the page, causing the table containing multi paged report data to be seen inside a box. Just to be clear;
I don't want to display borders of each row
I don't want to display table footer in each page (Only on last page)
I've already tried to display page footer, top border. Its not the answer :D
Thanks very much...

Page Footer Problem
Jun 16, 2007Hi,
I created a report with a page footer. In the properties of the pagefooter I did set PrintonFirstPage to FALSE en PrintOnLastPage to TRUE.
If I run my report which takes 5 pages then on the first page the pagefooter is not visible. So that is OK.
But from the 2nd page until the las one the PageFooter is visible and I want it only on the very last page.
What do I do wrong or how can I solve this?

Changing Footer Size On Last Page Only
Apr 29, 2008
Dear all,
I am having a problem with the footer in my SQL Reporting Services project. I am trying to print a disclaimer in a text box on the last page in the footer. I can get the text box in the footer just fine but as the disclaimer is quite a lengthly multi line text string the footer has to be enlarged in order to fit the whole text box in.
This causes a problem on all the other pages where even though the footer is not displayed on pages before the last page it still takes up space stopping other data from being displayed where the footer would normally be.
Is there a way for me to set the footer size to a default value all all pages except the last page? I just want to enlarge the footer to about 1.5" on the last page to print my disclaimer without effecting the other pages layout.
Many thanks in advance,
Trevor Keast
Page Break Before Group Footer..
May 20, 2008I 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.
I Want To Make Sure The Header/footer Is On Each Next Page
Feb 13, 2008
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure the header/footer is on each next page,if the grade report goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up).
I could put a textfield as a footer 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).
Thanks & Rgds

Force Page Break After Each Invoice
Feb 22, 2008
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.
RESULT:
1) 3-4 invoices appear on each page.
EXPECTED:
1) Page break after each invoice.
What is missing?
Table Footer Does Not Print On A Separate Page
Jul 27, 2007I'm using SSRS SP2. I have a table with 1 group defined. I have a group footer that includes sub totals for each group. I have a table footer that includes my grand totals, but this footer will NOT print on a separate page even though I have 'Page Break At End' checked for the group. My groups correctly start on a new page, but when I get to my Grand Total footer line, it prints just after the last group sub-total line.
Any ideas what I might be doing wrong?
Thanks in advance,
