Is there a way to implement a report footer in .rdlc. There is no such a thing out of the box, but I really need to have that report footer like feature implemented. To picture out an example, I have variable page number document (based on Tablix), then at the end on the last page after the page break I need to have some more text.
If someone would run into similar problem, I was able to achieve that by inserting a Rectangle object, and setting up PageBreak property

I can't seem to figure out why the design aspect of Report Builder/Report Designer is so messed up. Either I don't understand why it is doing this (most likely) or this is just the way it is.
Every Element I add to my report seems to not show up, align or look correct in the actual preview. If I add a line that snaps to another line which looks correct in design, looks totally incorrect in the final version. This is just one example of many, see below for images showing this behavior.
If I have a field (text box) tied to a data set and I position it in a certain area, it creates weird white space, is centered wrong or worse, when re-positioning the aforementioned line element, it seems to move other nearby elements in some erratic way. In the obfuscated example, the carrier fields are all basically stacked on top of each other, while in the preview they are spaced properly, but further down in the document if I do the same thing it ends up looking drastically different.
Is this a bug? Is this how RDL and Report Designer work? Is there some trick to element positioning? Is it relative to other elements, based off of foreground vs back ground elements? Does copying a text box to create more text boxes affect them in some way vs. creating a new element each time? I can't figure it out and do not know what to search for to find the answer to this.
This seems to be a "quirk" of how Report Designer works and I just haven't found the secret to it yet. If there is some exact positioning dialog available, I would prefer to use it instead of my mouse and these issues as I have a down-to-the-MM spec document for how this should be designed, but I cannot figure it out.
I am using Report Builder 14 for SQL Server 2016. It is a one page form (an ASN label) held within a table and all elements are within a rectangle element.
Is there an online resource or Report Designer guru who can point me in the right direction when it comes to this?

EDIT: Like HOW does this even make sense?
SSRS renders so that the elements do not overlapp. In addition every element get enough space, vertical and horizontal. Basically you cant control this but there is a workaround.
If you put a rectangle in your report and place textboxes in that rectangle, they get rendered like you placed them. This also works in a tablix cell.
Another solution for your problem would be to display everything in one tablix cell. Your expression would be looking like this:
="Ship to: " & Fields!Adress.Value & ". Postal Code: " & Fields!PostalCode.Value
You even can add line breaks and tabs into that expression.
We are using SQL Server Reporting Server 2014. On exporting report into excel we are getting error "Length cannot be 0. Missing parameter Length". After research, we found that excel doesn't allow more than 255 characters in footer. We would like to hide footer on excel import only.
Is there a global settings on report level which we can apply to hide page footer in excel import. From google search, it is clear that we can add global logic to each text box within page footer to hide it. However, we didn't find any global report level logic to hide page footer in excel import. Can someone help us and provide logic to hide page footer on report level?
Thanks.
=(Globals!RenderFormat.IsInteractive = "EXCEL")
Use =Globals!RenderFormat.Name = "EXCEL".
The .IsInteractive you used returns a boolean and tells whether the report is being run interactive. The .Name returns the format name.
I placed all my textboxes inside a rectangle and turn on/off the visibility based on the answer above. This is so you don't have to do it on each textbox.
I have a report with a page break in it that I want to remove, but I don't know where the break is being added. It could be on a table, a group, or I don't know where else.
I checked the tablix properties and group properties for each portion of the report to see if "add a page break before" or "add a page break after" were checked, but didn't find anything.
Is there something i can search for in the RDL source code that will help?
I usually find this occurs when the item (tablix, chart etc) will fit entirely on a new page but not entirely on the page where the control starts. For example if you have a header on page 1 but not on page 2 or you have a chart before your tablix and the tablix will not fit entirely on Page 1 but will fit entirely on Page 2 it chooses to put the tablix on Page 2 instead of half on Page 1 and half on Page 2.
If this is your issue try placing all elements inside another element (such as a rectangle, list or another tablix).
We would need more information to give a more specific answer. Can you post screens of the pages either side of the elusive page break?
I was exporting to report type Web Archive (MHTML) and the page break was coming from the interactive height of the report. Once I set it to zero I no longer got the page breaks.
I have a bill application in winforms using reportviewer and showing rdlc report in it, I have a main report and a subreport in it

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
Currently I have page breaks in my report, I have to click the "next page" button every time to see next page of the report in my browser.
I want to see output of my rdlc report as a continuous report, not page by page. How can I accomplish this?
In your report design, add a rectangle and make sure it's PageBreakAtEnd and PageBreakAtStart properties are both set to false.
Then create all your report items within the rectangle. It should render smoothly without the page breaks.
According to me, if you have a group then just add the details in group row, this will display all the details in a single page in a report.
If you don't have group then just create the group with some distinct data and add the details here instead of details row.
You need to set the Paper Size in report properties to Custom and specify Width and Height explicitly according to your layout. Then only the report will be rendered in one page.
And if you do it by using Rectangle as its been advised by Nick Masso don't forget to enable "Keep contents together on single page if possible"
