I have PDF reports that are generated from Tableau after regular intervals with different number of pages each time . I want to add page numbers to these reports each time . How do I do that ?
You can Edit Title and there use insert dropdown to add Page Number which will add the page number to every sheet.
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.
I've got column headers repeating on each page of my SSRS report, (PDF) as described here. (among many other places) The problem I'm having now is that if the new page happens to have only summary rows, (totals, averages, etc) then the column headers do not appear. Here's what a normal page looks like:
And here's how it looks when the page only has "total" rows on it:
Here's the xml from the rdl file that accompanies each column header currently, in order to get the repeating effect:
<TablixMember>
<KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
<RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
</TablixMember>
Thanks for any help you can provide!
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.
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).
