SSRS 2016 - Tablix in subgroup fails upon deployment - sql-server-2016

SQL Server 2016, SSRS: I have an expandable group that works correctly in Report Builder or Visual Studio SSDT, but does not display when run on the server.
My charter was to create a report that didn't rely on pop-ups or new windows to display detail data. I've managed to embed that detail data below each order. A single dataset feeds the entire report. The user views a list of orders and can click an expand control on a given order to see the detail.
There are three groups in the report: District, Date and Order. Each group is expandable. At the bottom most 'Order" level several rows are displayed, including three that have tablixes embedded in them.
Problem: The order number and expand control [+] work fine in development but are not visible when running on the server.
This image shows the report in Development mode in VS 2017. Note the sections starting with 'Order Type' and 'Low Flow Test are Tablixes, each with a single header and a single row of data:
This second image shows the report in preview mode in VS 2017. It's displaying correctly with a single order expanded:
This third image shows the same report running on the server. Note the 'OrderNum' group cannot be expanded - the Order number field isn't even visible:
Both Visual Studio and Report Builder render this report as desired. When running in a browser this fails on IE, Chrome and Edge.
Either this is a bug or there's something I don't know about how this all works.

I had this issue and got it resolved. It was because of the over-flow: hidden that was put on these tablix headers. Under alignment my vertical alignment was set to 'bottom'. After setting it to 'Default' it was fixed. I guess having alignment as bottom made the browser think it was over-flow text.

SSRS 2012 report rendering on IE11

I developed reports in SSRS 2012. Users view reports using IE11 (version 11.0.9600.18537). I set the report columns visible(Column headers) while scrolling. It works fine in the reportviewer but when I deploy it to the report manager header(report column headers) does not scroll anymore. On the IE 11 I tried to change the document mode to 10 and it works fine. But upon refresh it goes away. Now fixing the browser is hard as we may have to make a policy change across the company which is no go.
Please suggest a SSRS server side fix.
Already tried the server side fix. But failed to work.

As a matter of fact I don't even have the suggested meta tag in the "reportviewer.aspx" but I tried to add it anyway with no success of working.
I expect column headers to be visible while scrolling on IE11 on SSRS 2012 report manager. Since we own SSRS 2012 report manager and I have admin access I can try to make changes in that server.
Found the fix, under "ReportManager\Pages\Report.aspx" there is the tag which I modified from content="IE=Edge" to content="IE=5"

Buttons and Drop Downs duplicating in IE11 Word Add-in

I have a Word 2016 Add-in (Office.js) built with Bootstrap 3 and jquery.
Windows 7 users are reporting (and I've seen) duplication and even triplication of buttons and dropdown menus when they return to Word 2016 after letting it sit for 45 minutes or so.
If you just refresh the page you get a correct, single version of these buttons and dropdowns.
Somehow IE11 is deciding on its own to update the page and, in doing so, creating duplicates.
The buttons and dropdowns all work. Refresh returns the page to the correct state.
Anyone have any direction to go or ideas on this?
Thank you for the detailed response & interest - apologies for the long delay in responding.
I've only seen this with one user, in the UK, running Windows 7 and Word 2016. I screenshared with him and saw the triplication in person...unfortunately didn't think to take screenshots of his experience. His IE11 install didn't have the "Install new versions automatically" checkbox that I have (Windows 10).
(Side note: the permutations of Word 2016 and IE11 are ending up being quite a handful - I have many institutional users and they don't control updates to one or both...hard to even figure out what they're using).
He had three versions of every Favorite button and three versions of each Group Drop Down.
A simple refresh of the page returned things to normal.
The buttons all worked while the dropdowns had all 3 sets of choices in the first iteration of the dropdown; the second and third iteration of a dropdown was empty.
He described the situation as resulting after he "lets Word sit without using it or my solution for 40+ minutes." He has used my solution extensively and hasn't reported seeing it during use.
The screenshot below shows things as they are normally.
In his situation, that first button (for example) named 'Link' would repeat after the list of buttons along with every single other blue Favorite button.
The Dropdowns (Argument etc.) would be similarly duplicated or triplicated (he hasn't seen 4 yet).
My code is pretty simple jquery/javascript. When you load the page or refresh it pulls content and builts these buttons and dropdowns dynamically. I don't understand a situation where the browser somehow reloads or duplicates content...

SSRS Report Does Not Show Up in Profiler Trace

I have written an SSRS Report and everything works fine within the Visual Studio Solution. When I try to view the report within the browser, all of the parameter fields and columns display, but no data is pulled. There are no errors when running the report and when I run a SQl Server Profiler trace, nothing is there. Any ideas?
In browser Click on report's arrow to see drop down menu, then click Manage, then go to Parameters tab and set them up.

"Action - Go to report" in VS2008 reportviewer not working

I have an SSRS report which drills through to sub reports via actions. The report functions correctly in the VS environment, and correct once deployed to the server and viewed through a browser.
The report however is also viewed inside our in-house app via a Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer - and while it renders on screen correctly, clicking the element that would normally take me to a sub-report no longer functions.
I have had a look around and there seemed to be an issue around VS2010 SP1 where this stopped working, however I'm currently stuck with VS2008. This seems to be the majority of results I'm getting.
Anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks.
OK have found issue.
The text box in question had three place holders. A reference No, A date and an age. I wanted to trigger the sub report if someone clicked on the reference no. While this worked fine in VS and IE, it failed to work in the Microsoft Report Viewer control.
I have now set the action against the containing text box, rather than against a single placeholder/expression within that box. While this has solved the immediate issue that I have, it would not work if you wanted multiple actions from different placeholders in a single text box.
But for now, I'm all good, and all solved.

Calcuatled Area missing from PowerPivot after upgrade

I've been using PowerPivot 32-Bit version with my Excel 2010 for months with no issues.
Today I installed MS Office 2010 64-Bit so I installed PP 64-Bit as well. My problem, though, is the Calculations Area at the bottom is completely missing (the place where you enter measures). For good measure, the Data View is gone too.
Any thoughts on what I could do to make the Calculations Area visible again?
TIA,
Kevin
You can enable the calculation area in the home tab from MSDN help:
You must be in Data View. On the Home tab of the PowerPivot window, click Calculation Area in the View area. The Calculation Area appears below the table’s columns, and the Calculation Area button is highlighted and active.
see this help topic:

Also see the attached picture below:
What does it mean that you say there is now Data View? What do you see when you open the Power Pivot window?
