crystal report subreport next page after - vb.net

4 subreports must be used within the details of the main.
Each subreport line frame was received with OLE of Excel and the number of data that I wanted to print was limited using the next page after.
When I saw the output, the first page was completely printed out as I wanted.
As you can see in the next chapter, the number of restricted data excluding Excel OLE will be printed superimposed on the top of the detail.
I just want to solve the problem of overlapping output. Please advise me.

Ah! All four subreports are in the main details. It's impossible to add details and put them in one zone.

dynamic page break in SSRS

I have a report that displays summary data for three years. Each page displays data for one year. The the report is set to have thee pages. However, for some year that the summary data is negative and there is no need to show. Is there a way to skip this page in the report? There is way to hide controls based on rules, but I couldn't find any way to hide entire page output.
In order to do this, you can simply choose to filter the dataset so that rows/records with negative values do not appear.

Report Viewer using multiple reports

Within vb.net we've got a report that works great it has it's header/footer details then then a table in the middle which repeats data and all of that is fine.
But what the client wants now is for another button named 'Print Individual' and this will print the same report but instead of the repeated data within the table for each of those rows to be a single row on a page with the same header/footer.
So for example on the first report if there is one page with 5 rows of details the 'Print Individual' report will print the same but have 5 pages and 1 row per report. If that makes sense :-)
Obviously if I can do it where we use the same report instead of maintaing two reports would be good, as the report has a lot of information on it. Any ideas?
I ended up creating a new report and using the list box tool.

JasperReports: How to dynamically change subreportExpression

What I am trying to do is seemingly simple.
I have a master report that includes a subreport element. The subreport is populated from a JRAbstractBeanDataSource, that has a collection of 0-n subreports in it.
In the master report, the subreport is found with:
<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + $F{subReportFileName}]]></subreportExpression>
This works fine, SUBREPORT_DIR is passed in as a param to the datasource in the code.
What I need to do though, is select a different report name, based on the subreport properties, something like:
<subreportExpression class="java.lang.String"><![CDATA[$P{SUBREPORT_DIR} + "$F{subReportFileName}"]]></subreportExpression>
That is, allow each item in the collection of subreport datas on the datasource specify what the .jasper filename will be (that is, allow it so select which subreport to use).
Maybe there is a better way to think about/approach this.
Just a side note - when you want to include code in your question, use the code button above the composition window. We can't see your example. If you click on the question mark inside the little orange square at the top right corner of the composition window it will take you to a Markdown editing tutorial.
I'm a little unclear as to what you are trying to accomplish. I'm not sure from the collection if you want to include all the subreports in your report and need a way to iterate through their names in the directory, or if you want the selection of the subreport to be dynamic. I don't know of a way to include more than one subreport in a main report. If you want to dynamically select the report name, why not just make the subreport name a parameter that gets passed to your report from your code. You can do your logic to decide which report name you want based on whatever criteria you choose. If that's not what you're looking for, perhaps a little more detail in your question would help.
I was trying to find a way to set the report name as the master report iterated over the date source items. Instead I just made the query completely dynamic, passed in as a param. That's what I really needed to change for each sub-report.

SQL 2005 Reporting Services doesn't print properly

We have a 900+ page report that was created in RS. You can only print 1 page at a time from the report manager. We have tried exporting to pdf, etc but the dollar amounts don't line up properly when it is exported. Does anyone have any suggestions to get this to print correctly?
You have to ensure all the page sizes, breaks, margins, interactive size, etc. are properly setup for the export to work properly. You also should be able to print the whole thing in one go from the report manager in 2005.
Do your other reports print ok?
Do you have conditional filters, hidden contorls, etc?
If you use table and right-align your dollar amount column it should line up properly.
Can you provide more details like what kind of report layout you are using ( which objects you are using to render report. )

How do I show data in the header of a SQL 2005 Reporting Services report?

Out of the box SSRS reports cannot have data exposed in the page header. Is there a way to get this data to show?
One of the things I want in my reports is to have nice headers for my reports. I like to have a logo and the user's report parameters along with other data to show to give more information for the business needs the report needs to clarify. One of the things that Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services cannot do natively is show data from a Dataset in the header. This post will explain how to work around this and how easy it is.
Create the Report Server Project in the Business Intelligence Projects section and call it AdventureWorksLTReports. I use the AdventureWorksLT sample database from CodePlex.

Next show the Page Header by right clicking in the Report area with the designer.

The Page Header will appear. If you want to show the Page Footer this can be accessed from the same menu as the Page Header.

I created a stored procedure that returns data for the Sales Order to be presented in the Page Header. I will show the following information about the Sales Order in the Page Header:
Order Date
Sales Order Number
Company
Sales Person
Total Due
I create a TextBox for each of my data fields in the Page Header along with a TextBox for the corresponding label. Do not change the Expression in the TextBoxes that you want the Sales Order data in.

In the Report Body, place a TextBox for each data field needed in the Page Header. In the Visibility for each TextBox, select True for Hidden. This will be the placeholder for the data needed in the Page Header.

Your report should look similar to the screenshot shown below.

The last step and most important is to reference the Hidden TextBox in the TextBoxes located in the Page Header. We use the the following Expression to reference the needed TextBoxes:
=ReportItems!.Value
Your report should now look similar to the following:

Your Report preview should now have the Sales Order Header data in the Report Header.

You have to do it through Parameters. Add a parameter for each piece of data you would like to display, then set the parameter to Hidden. Then set the default value to "From Query" and set the Dataset and Value field to the appropriate values.
I think the best option is creating a internal parameter, with the default value the field of the dataset you want to show.
Here are two possible workarounds:
You can place the databound field within the body of the report as a hidden textbox, and then in the header place another textbox with it's value pointed at the the one hidden within the body.
Try using report parameters to store the data, and use those parameters to access the data in the header.
This technique wouldn't work if your report spans over multiple pages, use queried parameters instead, and set the textbox value to =Parameters!Name.Value as per this article.
I'm with Orion Adrian here. Report parameters are the way to go.
I wanted to show a field, common to all returned rows, in the header, and for this scenario I went for the linked table solution (placing a table containing the field in the body and link a textbox in the header to this table).
I did that because if you are using the parameter solution and no data is returned to the field in question, the text "Parameter is missing a value" is shown instead of just a blank table. I reckoned this text would confuse users (as the parameter isn't even visible).
