SSRS Reporting - How do you prevent a page break before a row in a Tablix? - sql

I have a tablix that contains a fair bit of verbiage. There are other tablix that contain a user defined amount of information. The tablix that contains the large amount of verbiage comes afterwards. Upon printing the report, the row of the tablix that contains the large amount of verbiage will push to the next page every time. I am looking to prevent this from happening.
I am not using Row Groups.
I have set the Page break options to Keep together on one possible checked and unchecked.

I found putting the tablix inside a text box helps control this. See below:
Another thing that helps is applying filters to the row to handle how many results are displayed. See below:
This should prevent the page over flowing onto the next. To fit as much data as possible on the page you can always change font size or squeeze everything closer together.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Show all SSRS data on opening report then hide data to single page

I have a tabular report that has Show/Hide grouping on the rows. The end user wants all data displayed when first running the report, which is no problem. It covers roughly 3 or 4 pages. Can I make so that if I hide all the data, it then refreshes to show the "rolled" up table on a single page rather than split across multiple pages?
Go to properties window of the cells you are toggling display.
In the InitialToggleState property select False, it will show all data when you running the report initially.
Let me know if this can help you.
I decided to go with the report all rolled up when first run. Expanding from that state seems to keep the report on a single page plus I can roll it back up to a single page (although probably simpler to just re-run it).

SSRS report, is there a way to switch templates based on configuration?

I have been googling for a good description of this but am not having much luck. I am pretty new to SSRS reports and I am probably not using the correct terminology here. If someone could point me towards an article that describes this that would suffice.
Basically I want to pull a bit into my report, and based on the value of that bit (or maybe a varchar) I want to render an address in different formats, or add/remove some sections completely form the report. I suspect this is basic functionality but am having trouble finding an example. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
If you have a table/matrix the best place to put stuff like this is in columns that are outside of the detail or any groups at the top of the table. You can merge all the cells and add rectangles to add specific formatting. The neat part about using header columns is they can be hidden and the space used will not be rendered.
Say you have a table and Row1 and Row2 contain different formatting of the same data. If you have a report parameter named ShowFormat1 then you can optionally hide/show the correct row with formatting.
Click Row one and Set its Hidden property to =!Parameters!ShowFormat1.Value
Click Row two and Set its Hidden property to =Parameters!ShowFormat1.Value
The same concept can be applied to all elements if you are not using a table or matrix. Non-repeating controls, Rectangle or Image for example, can be hidden but the space used will still be rendered.

Report studio: keep list in one page in pdf

I have this list on a report that exceeds one page because it has a lot of rows. Instead of having it split into two pages I want the second part of the list to appear next to the first part, all in the same page. Both in html and pdf.
Disabled break and horizontal pagination in the list properties but did not work. Also put page break in report properties. It did improve the amount of rows that fit now but I still need to put one half of the list next to each other because I do not want it to split in many pages. Maybe there is another solution you know of.
Thanks for your help!
I'll post this from what I got to contribute if someone is looking for something similar.
If you know the amount of rows you can use a "newspaper" style report. Look it up, you'll find it simple.
Another option is to use repeater tables. I went for this one because my amount of rows was dinamic.
Hope this helps.

try Unchecking Keep together on one page if possible option in Page break options.
I'm using vs2010, and it looks like you're in 08? so it might be a little different but I'll give it a try (mostly because I am looking for some help as well and I know how frustrating it is using this when there's not a lot of "quality" answers out there for specific problems).
In the subreport rdlc file, make sure that the "PageBreak" property (on the table containing your columns) isn't set to "start." I would just set it to "none."
What I believe that is happening is that it's moving it to the next page because it won't fit on the first page. what you can do to try to get around that is include everything on the main report in a rectangle (in the rectangle, set pagebreak = none, and keeptogether=true [I'm not sure if you actually want keeptogether=true... if it squeezes everything onto one page by resizing it set it to false]).
Hope I helped

How to split a Crystal Reports subreport across a page break?

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 and writing in VB.NET.
I have a subreport in a Crystal Reports report consisting of a list of log entries. Sometimes the list of log entries is long enough that it would extend onto the next page. What I see happening is that the list appears on the next page, leaving a big blank space at the bottom of the first page.
I've tried unchecking the "Keep Together" boxes in the "Experts" in a number of different places (sections, groups, etc.) but see no change in the output.
I'm guessing that this isn't the right way to go, but do you know what is?
(I'll be glad to provide more information if I haven't given enough.)
Thanks as always!
remove the subreport's 'keep object together' option.
