Page break on a RDLC Report Table - pdf

I have a Table on a RDLC Report. The number of table's rows increases dinamically according to my dataset.
When I print my report to a PDF document, if the cell's text is too 'big', it prints every table on the next page of the document.
All I need is to break the table whenever it will be necessary.
How can I do that? Any ideas ?
I've tried to set both table and textbox's Keep Together property to False and it dosent's worked out...
SOLUTION:
On the bottom of report designer there are a Row Groups and Column Groups area. I set this are to Advanced Mode. Then, I change every group KeepTogether property to False. After that, I change every Static KeepTogether property to False and KeepInGroup to None.
Thank you in advance.
Best regards,
Maria

RDLC - How to display each row from dataset in each page?

I am having set of text boxes in the report and binding each columns in the text box from the Data set.
As of now only first record from the dataset is binding in the text box.
I need all the rows in the dataset to bind in the text boxes page wise.
Each row in the dataset bind to text boxes page wise.
First record in first page,Second record in second page ... etc.
How to achieve this? Help me to solve this...
Thanks in Advance,

I recently faced the same issue, I used some help from stackoverflow to solve the issue, u might have already figured it out but this is to help others with similar issue.
Make sure you have a Dataset defined for your report.
Add a "Table" control to the report. This seems to be needed in order to iterate the rows in your Dataset.
Delete the header row and two of the default columns from the table so that you are left with a single row with a single column.
Expand the table to the width of your layout and make it as tall as you will need for your "free form" layout.
By default, there is a TextBox inside the table cell. Right-click the empty table cell and choose "delete" to remove that TextBox.
Drag a "Rectangle" control into the empty table cell. It seems to automatically "dock" to the width/height of the table cell.
Now you should be able to drag the fields from your DataSet (TextBoxes, etc) into the Rectangle to produce the desired layout.
You can use a List with page breaks at the end of details group.

MS Access How to make a field in form invisible if it is empty

I am trying to make a filed in my form become invisible if it's value is empty.
What I have is a form with individual records from a table, this has a sub-form which is linked by an ID, and it displays the results of a query.
This has three fields ones is the ID, a number and third is a date, Not all records have a date and therefore for the ones that do not have one I want to completely hide the date label and the empty text box; and make it appear only when a date is specified.
I'm guessing I might have to use some kind of WHILE statement in my query but I'm not sure whether that's right and how to do it.
I would appreciate your advice on this.
Thanks
You can add this code to the subform current event:
If (datafieldname & "") = "" then
datafieldname.visible=false
else
datafieldname.visible=true
End if
Where datafieldname is the name of the data field on the subform. This will only work if your subform layout is not tableview

ssrs column visibility inside row groups

i have a report that has multiple groups mostly in rows and one column group but i need to show certain columns based on parameters selected. As show in the image when i right click on speciality column the column visibility is not available. Can somebody help me on this.
thanks

I solved it myself without using visibility option in columns instead hide and show the header text based on parameter value and border style in properties window
Visibility can be set in the Properties sidebar for that group column.
I resolved by selecting all the cells (one at a time) under the group header(s)/column and setting the associated text box Hidden to "true"

SSRS - Producing a report that is not dynamic in size

I want to build a report that is completely static in size and shape. I'm attempting to mimic a hand-entered report that someone in my organization has been building from a word doc for years.
The critical piece appears to be fixing the number of rows that are produced in the various Table grids that fill the page. I would like them to always contain a set number of rows, whether data is present or not. It would seem that if I can just fix the size my tables, then all the other elements will not be forced to move because of stretching repeater sections.
All my grids are backed by stored procedures, so I'm open to SQL tricks as well.
Sorry i did miss-read the question.
If you know how many rows you need to return (say 20) maybe you could pad some bogus info into your records returned from the stored procedure. You might be able to count the records your query has returned before you send them back, and if you have less than 20 add some bogus ones to the record set, put something like 'NonDisp' or something in them.
Then in the report put an iif statement into the cells that checks for this bogus info, if it is found change the cell to display nothing, otherwise show the valid values
Not a direct answer, but perhaps a workaround you might consider: perhaps you can insert a page break after the table grids that have dynamic sizes, so that all elements that follow it have a fixed position (relative to the top of the page).
Add a parent group to tablix with =Ceiling((RowNumber(Nothing)) / 10000) expression. (10000 or whatever is required no. of rows)
In page break properties of group, check box for insert break between groups, leave the bottom boxes un-checked.
Optionally, we may chose to set hidden property true for text boxes added because of new parent group.
In tablix properties, check box for "Keep together on one page".

Automatic Chart Pagination with Report Parameters

Based on several report parameters in SQL Server 2005 reporting services, I would like to automatically generate one or several chart(s) for each row in the return result and paginate or space them out. How do I go about that?
If the number of charts will vary for each row, but the variations are known (e.g. it's either just chart 1, or chart 1 and 3, or charts 1 2 and 3) then it's simple enough using a table.
In the default detail row add any normal fields you need. Now insert a new detail row for each chart you might need. Lastly set the visibility of each chart row based on your rules, noting that the rule will hide the row if your expression evaluates to true. Make sure you select the row using the area to the left of the left-most cell, if you got it right you'll see that it's a row in the properties grid.
To get the layout you want you can merge cells for the charts to go in, or use a single cell and put a Rectangle in it, then in the Rectangle lay out your other controls.
Any rows that are hidden will be collapsed, so you wont get big empty sections like you can if you simply toggle the visibility of the charts themselves.
What you can do is place a List control on the page, set List grouping by record unique key (ID, or several fields if composite), and place a charts on the List. Next, set items visibility expressions to control it with report parameters.
