Tablix headers not repeating in SSRS 2008 - sql

I have created a new report & add a table to it. When I select "Tablix Properties" and check on Columns Headers -> "Repeat Cheader columns on each page" the header columns do not repeat on each page. I also tried "Repeat header rows on each page". "Add page break before" seems to work ok. I am using VS 2008 9.0.30729.1 SP
I also tried deploying but it still does not work on the deployed version.
Interestingly, reports migrated from 2005 & unchanged seem to be ok.
Any ideas? Am I not setting something up properly?

In the grouping section there is a pull-down that will let you switch to Advanced Mode. Click that. Once you've got Advanced mode activated you will see a number of (Static) objects show up in your groups -- these are your headers.
Highlight the static row above =(Details) in the Row groups, in the properties pane for that static group is an option for RepeatOnNewPage; setting that to true will repeat your headers.
Here is the blog post from where I found this.

SSRS not displaying data but displays data when query runned in tsql

I have a SSRS report that do not display data in preview mode. However, when I run the same query in SQL Server 2008 R2 I can retrieve the results
What could cause this?
I also used Set FMTOnly to off because I use temptables.
if you use "SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio" not "Report Builder" then on reporting services (where is you table):
click View -> Properties Window (or just press F4)
select the tablix
on properties window find "General" and in the "DataSetName" choose your "Dataset"
On tablix fields set values from your "DataSets"
Or just do like here(from 8:50): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HM_dquiikBA
The Best solutio
Select the entire row and change the font to arial or any other font other than segoe UI
default font
default font
no display in preview

changed font first row
changed font first row
first row is displayed in preview

changed secon row font

A workaround should be:
1) Select the parameters and click on View Report (you will not see nothing or some cells will display content and some not)
2) Click on Print Layout (next to the printer)
You will be able to see content. If you have expand/collapse functionality and then you will not be able to interact with the UI.
I faced similar issues. If you remove/delete the parameter, open the dataset definition and refresh the fields, the parameter should be recreated. Then run the report. It worked for me.

SSRS Report Builder - Only Show Header On First Page (With Page Numbers)

So I am running into the problem where my report header is being displayed on every page, but I only want to display it on the first page. The solution that people on this forum have given is to just put the header in the main content. The problem with this is that my header shows the page number + total pages (i.e. Page 1 of 3 pages). I cannot move my header to the body because I will lose access the page numbers. For some reason, Report Builder will only allow you to have access to the page numbers via the header. Does anyone have any solution to this problem?
Write an expression to hide the textboxes that hold the header information.
The expression would look like this:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber = 1, FALSE, TRUE)
To get to the expression property:
right-click text box >> text box properties >> visibility >> select "Show or hide based on expression" >> insert expression above
cheers
I had the same issue, where I only wanted the header to show on the first page. The solution I came up with was to stick all of my objects from the header into a rectangle, so it was now acting as a container. I then placed that container into the body. In the report properties, in the code section, I borrowed from this post Access Page number in report body In SSRS to create functions, which would allow me to pull the page numbers into the body section. Then in my rectangle/container, I set the visibility property to =code.PageNumber>1. I hope this helps!
I did this, just to make it easier the two functions you want to add to the Report that were linked above are,...
Function PageNumber() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!PageNumber
End Function
Function TotalPages() As String
Return Me.Report.Globals!TotalPages
End Function

Column header repeat donĀ“t work in ssrs 2008

I have a report with a tablix that has row headers. I want to repeat the headers on each page, so I activated the flag "Repeat header columns on each page". But nothing happens... this worked with earlier versions of ssrs...
Answer can be found here.
You may also need to set KeepWithGroup to "After" in that Report Group properties. Need to switch to Advanced mode to see this option. How to switch to Advanced mode: click littel downward triangle on the right from "Column Groups" heading

Rdlc Report in dotnet

I am generating rdlc report in dotnet2.0 C#. My doubt is I want to freeze the Table header (like Excel freeze) in the rdlc report. Since my table data is more, I need this option.
Although this is old, it still came up in Google search when I was looking for a similar issue. So I'm posting this here just in case...
In SSRS 2008 the option to freeze a row or a column is FixedData = true. See this article for details: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/955822
Also, if your ReportViewer control is allowed to stretch to the entire HTML page, it will likely set the height of the internal table to include all rows in the dataset (or for however may rows fit on "ReportViewer page"). In that case the scroll bar is enabled for the entire page, and the report cannot keep top rows frozen. Instead place the ReportViewer control inside some viewing container and add a script to adjust width and height on window resizing.
set your fixheader property true
for this Select Table > property > fixheader = true
Second way open your rdlc file in xml edition
put the fix header as show below in your header tags
<header>
<FixedHeader>true</FixedHeader>
</Header>

The data set name is missing in the data region 'DataSetName'

I added an additional, new DataSet to my report and have been getting this cryptic error ever since.
The issue was that when the report had elements setup using the first data set I'd defined when the report was created. Adding an additional data set reset the DataSetName value to be blank. In this case for my Table but it could be for a List, etc.
To correct:
Open the report in SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio (AKA Visual Studio)
View the object details in the Properties Window (View > Properties Window or press F4)
Check the DataSetName value (under the Data section)
Update the value to point to the correct Data Set
Examine your RDLC file, open it in a XML editor. Most specifically, take a look at the Dataset section. See if there are some old ones that are still there. You can edit this file directly, but be careful what you do.
You can also attempt to run the RDLC file through a XML validator, and see if it comes up with any errors. Make sure to validate against the RDLC file's schema. (http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition/ReportDefinition.xsd)
I had a bit of trouble finding the correct properties window that contained this value, so I will add the following:
On the Layout Tab, press F4 to bring the properties box up.
In the dropdown at the top of the properties box, find your table and select it.
You should now see that data section about halfway down, along with the DataSetName property the error is complaining about.
I know this is a decade late, but this is to possibly help the next guy that is searching the internet for answers (like me).
In SSRS, right-click any unused/white area of the report then choose Select-> and the Group level (not group level content) that you are getting the error about.
In the properties window (Menu->View->Check Properties) for the Group Level, scroll down to General the DataSetName. Select the drop down arrow and choose the original dataset.
