I have a report that currently has a table with 10 columns. I have visibility rules set on the last 5 columns to hide in some scenarios. When I hide those columns there is a large amount of white space on the right side of the report. I do not want this, i want the table to fill out the page. Ideally SSRS would have the capability to have the page width be dynamic and move with the width of the table, but that does not appear to be the case.
I tried creating two tables, one with 10 columns and one with 5 and set the visibility rules on the table, but that created the same problem, a lot of white space on the right side when the table with 5 columns was selected, because the width of the page was set for the 10 column table.
Does anyone have any suggestions on a workaround or how to fix this issue? I know I could create two reports, but I'm hoping to avoid that option.

Is it possible to keep table column within the same page? It always go to the new page when table width is larger than page.
I design a report with TableA that have dynamic columns. The dynamic columns are in short format. For example: BS, BN, OT...
In order to understand column meaning, I have to create another table, TableB, below the table to explain. I want to display it horizontally. For example: BS: Basic Salary| BN: Bonus| OT: Over Time| ...
But when TableB has many columns, It go to new page and leave a lot of blank space in previous page. I want to keep columns in the same page, if possible.
I want TableB to display like this:
|X:xx| X:xx | X:xx| X:xx| (Edge of right page)
|X:xx| X:xx|
You're using a horizontal table, a great tutorial is described here
You probably have most of the horizontal table figured out, just this part is important to your issue.
Step 4
Right-click on the column header and select "Edit Group". Enter this
for the group expression: =RowNumber(Nothing). This will cause the
matrix to give you one column per row of data. Since horizontal tables
can end up rather wide, you probably want your table wrap around to
the next "line" after a specific number of columns.
Just simply count the number of rows that fit your page exactly and define this number in your column group expression as described in the tutorial.
Use Column Visibility to hide column instead of Cell Visibility. This should eliminate the blank space.
If the report is still too big, set the report interactive size to 0in,0in. This will keep everything in one page.
I am trying to replicate a word document as a report in Reporting Services 2008r2.
I need to create a table, with some cells spanning more than 1 column. Essentially it's a 3 column table, but sometimes the 2nd column should fill the space of the 3rd.
I can't find a good way of creating this in Report Builder 3 - I have tried using a table and matrix but cannot achieve what I want.
This report is for 1 record, I want a table of data related to a record and do not want to create textboxes and rectangles and arrange them neatly to get what i want.
Each field should have its own row - but some of those rows will be split with 2 values.
Does anyone have a good method to create what I want? Please don't tell me this isn't the 'norm' and how to do the normal way - I need to replicate an existing layout.
I have solved my issue by deleting the 'Header' row from the table. Then using it like a normal table in any MS Office app, I have also ensured that my Dataset only contains 1 row which may have had some bearing on my issue...

Can any one tell me how to add more no of columns in Pentaho Reporting?
Make the page wider, or your columns thinner. The page can be virtually any width, so you can go as wide as you want, e.g. if exporting to Excel and so on.
There is certainly no limit I've hit on number of columns anyway. But do consider if this is an end user report it still probably has to be printable in some way!
I want to build a report that is completely static in size and shape. I'm attempting to mimic a hand-entered report that someone in my organization has been building from a word doc for years.
The critical piece appears to be fixing the number of rows that are produced in the various Table grids that fill the page. I would like them to always contain a set number of rows, whether data is present or not. It would seem that if I can just fix the size my tables, then all the other elements will not be forced to move because of stretching repeater sections.
All my grids are backed by stored procedures, so I'm open to SQL tricks as well.
Sorry i did miss-read the question.
If you know how many rows you need to return (say 20) maybe you could pad some bogus info into your records returned from the stored procedure. You might be able to count the records your query has returned before you send them back, and if you have less than 20 add some bogus ones to the record set, put something like 'NonDisp' or something in them.
Then in the report put an iif statement into the cells that checks for this bogus info, if it is found change the cell to display nothing, otherwise show the valid values
Not a direct answer, but perhaps a workaround you might consider: perhaps you can insert a page break after the table grids that have dynamic sizes, so that all elements that follow it have a fixed position (relative to the top of the page).
Add a parent group to tablix with =Ceiling((RowNumber(Nothing)) / 10000) expression. (10000 or whatever is required no. of rows)
In page break properties of group, check box for insert break between groups, leave the bottom boxes un-checked.
Optionally, we may chose to set hidden property true for text boxes added because of new parent group.
In tablix properties, check box for "Keep together on one page".
Based on several report parameters in SQL Server 2005 reporting services, I would like to automatically generate one or several chart(s) for each row in the return result and paginate or space them out. How do I go about that?
If the number of charts will vary for each row, but the variations are known (e.g. it's either just chart 1, or chart 1 and 3, or charts 1 2 and 3) then it's simple enough using a table.
In the default detail row add any normal fields you need. Now insert a new detail row for each chart you might need. Lastly set the visibility of each chart row based on your rules, noting that the rule will hide the row if your expression evaluates to true. Make sure you select the row using the area to the left of the left-most cell, if you got it right you'll see that it's a row in the properties grid.
To get the layout you want you can merge cells for the charts to go in, or use a single cell and put a Rectangle in it, then in the Rectangle lay out your other controls.
Any rows that are hidden will be collapsed, so you wont get big empty sections like you can if you simply toggle the visibility of the charts themselves.
What you can do is place a List control on the page, set List grouping by record unique key (ID, or several fields if composite), and place a charts on the List. Next, set items visibility expressions to control it with report parameters.
