I am trying to figure out why a row keeps on blowing up during printing. Here is an example: http://imgur.com/OQD9VEh #2 is where it is getting extended. As you can see it happens when the data continues on to the next page. It is because of the columns on the right where the values are "Family" and "Mom". If I remove those two columns, the report prints out fine. Once I add them back in, the last row, no matter the row, expands dramatically if it is the leading row on the next page.
Things that I have already tried which have not worked:
- Disabling the option to have the cells increase or decrease in height.
- Tried increasing the height and width of the tablix
- Altered the data type and size to only 6 char for both columns on the left
Any ideas?
Add a column to the right of your outermost column and set its width to very small with no borders and background color(invisible). This may do the trick.
have you try to have the same row height same as the above.
try to set the row "Can Shrink" to false and "Can Grow" to false

I wrote a macro which copies table from excel to word. In excel all columns have different width. In Word I want to fit my table to one page - margins in Word are 1.5 cm from left and right. Number of rows in my table changes, number of columns is stable (this is 14). How can I set column width to be equal? I wonder if it's possible to set the same column width regardless of the amount of text in headlines. I create swdth variable which I then divide by 14 (all my columns) and I have my table on one page...
This code doesn't work properly. I have all rows in one page, but columns have different width.
Table.Rows.SetHeight RowHeight:=InchesToPoints(0.17), HeightRule:=wdRowHeightExactly
Table.Rows(1).SetHeight RowHeight:=InchesToPoints(0.59), HeightRule:=wdRowHeightExactly
sWdth = InchesToPoints(6.22)
WordTable.PreferredWidthType = wdPreferredWidthPoints
WordTable.PreferredWidth = sWdth
sWdth = sWdth / 14
Giving all columns the same with is as simple as:
Table.Columns.DistributeWidth
but it's not apparent what this has to do with keeping the table on one page.
I've seen similar questions recently. As always...

I'm trying to add page breaks to an excel sheet, but am having trouble getting the page breaks to go where I want them, or more accurately, to not go where I don't want them.
I want the code to insert a page break to the left of column "x," with x being a previously defined variable (7 in this case). I can get the page break at column x to work, but another page break (a dashed blue line) keeps showing up left of column 6, and another one (a solid blue line) left of column 8.
The method that I am using to add the page breaks is this:
Worksheets("BASE 2").VPageBreaks.Add Before:=Worksheets("BASE 2").Columns(x)
ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview
If I only run the ActiveWindow.View = xlPageBreakPreview section, the two incorrect page breaks (before columns 6 and 8) still show up, and the same thing happens when I run the code with only the Worksheets("BASE 2").VPageBreaks.Add Before:=Worksheets("BASE 2").Columns(x) section.
If anyone has any insight as to why this may be happening, I would greatly appreciate it.
For anyone in the future that has a similar problem.
The reason that excel was adding in the extra dashed page break was that the section I was trying to print was too large to print on one sheet. I was originally trying to print a section with a total column width of 300 zoomed at 50% using Worksheets("Sheet1").PageSetup.Zoom = 50.
To fix the problem, I backed off the column width to 290 and the zoom to 40 and the dashed blue line stopped showing up.
This just started happening in the last week. I'm currently using VS 2012 Professional on Windows 10, coding in VB.NET. I had been successfully using Listview.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize) to resize the columns prior to passing the listview to a printing routine. I took a week off the project and when I ran it again the last column started to occupy the remaining balance of the listview width after calling the method, getting rid of what some call the 'ugly' last empty column. So it now pushes that last column off onto another page due to the increased width. It did not do this before. In that week off I did install the VS 2015 Community edition to evaluate.
Has anyone else noticed this? And if so... solution?
Found the problem.
When using Listview.AutoResizeColumns(ColumnHeaderAutoResizeStyle.HeaderSize) it will work as desired by resizing ALL the Columns to the Width of the Header Text ONLY if the ListView's width is less than the total Column widths.
If the ListView's width is wider than the total Column widths, then the LAST Column will then fill the remaining space, which is what I did not want reflected in my printing routine. I was using those Column widths in my printing routine. The problem was those widths, which changed as the ListView's width changed, being passed into the printing routine. Not reliable.
My Work-Around: I simple resized the last Column the 'old fashioned' way after calling .AutoResizeColumns.
Also. I didn't feel the need to post any code, as the one, snarky, condescending comment states, as it was a behavioral problem, not a code problem, and would have only clouded the issue. But thanks for the input 'Visual' Vincent. It really added to the solution!
After exporting report in PDF format I realized that a few rows were hidden. As you can see in the image:
Notice that the 1st row in the second page is not the next row fetched by the data set, which should actually be 10 January 15 03:00.
Also, there's no Page Break, instead the default layout comes from the Master Page which is US letter.
I've been trying different solutions for this problem and after checking
M Williams and James Jenkins suggestions (among others) I still couldn't find it.
Perhaps Dominique could help? Dom?
The large blank space we can see below this table suggests there is a fixed margin or something like that which prevents all rows to be displayed. What is the value of the "Page break interval" property of the table? By default it is 40, try to decrease it until all rows are displayed in PDF. Otherwise you need to find out which element of the report has a fixed height or margin, This blank space might also be due to a property of the master page such margins and footer size
I am using SQL Server Reporting Services 2005 - I have created a portrait A4 report 8.5in by 11in.
The report consists of a header, body and a footer.
The body consists of a number of textboxes in a 2 column layout and underneath them a matrix placed onto a list.
The matrix consits of 2 fixed rows (with 1 fixed textual column in the top row and 2 dataset field columns in the bottom one) and a number of columns (each with a width of 0.875in and data taken from different dataset fields). I use the group expression =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/5) on the list, to make the matrix columns start below the previous ones every 5 repeated columns.
The problem I am facing is that a blank page (with only header and footer) is appearing between every page of report data when I export the report to PDF or print it physically, if the matrix spans more than one page of data. There is plenty of room for the columns of the matrix on the page. I have tried the following, but to no avail:
1) I checked that Page Width (8.5in) >= Body Width (7.20833in) + Left Margin (0) + Right Margin (0)
2) I checked that Page Height (11in) >= Page.TopMargin (0) + Header.Height (2in) + Body.Height (6.60417in) + Footer.Height (0.89583in) + Page.BottomMargin (0)
3) I played around with various margin values, ranging from 0in to 0.5in for the left, right, top and bottom margins.
4) I set all textboxes' CanGrow property to false. This also has the undesirable effect of chopping out the text when it cannot fit, but even so, the blank page problem still occurs.
5) I placed the list and the matrix together in a rectangle with the blank space (to the right of the matrix) outside the rectangle.
The only thing that stops the blank pages from appearing is changing the list grouping expression to =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/2), i.e. make the matrix start a new "table" every 2 repeated columns (rather than 5). This, however, I do not understand, as there is plenty of space for 3 other columns to their right and it is odd and untidy to just put 2!!
I would greatly appreciate any help in this!
Thanks in advance!

For anybody who is having a similar problem in SSRS 2008, I found the only way to fix this was to set the property named ConsumeContainerWhitespace on the Report itself to true.
In my case the issue was that the matrix on the page was narrow in design mode with a lot of whitespace to the right. When rendered, the matrix was rendered much wider (due to the data) but the renderer would also include the whitespace, causing the report to be much wider than the actual page.
If you set this property, the extra whitespace does not get rendered.
If I understand you correctly I've solved this problem before. The matrix claims extra white space, the solution I used is as follows:
You need to consume the white space.
[-------page width------]
[matrix][-textbox hack-]
I think you can set the textbox to be invisible
Note: When I attempted this in 2005, it only worked when the invisible textbox spanned the entire line.
