I have one main report that's calling a sub-report.
Inside this sub report I have a tablix. The tablix size will grow based on the data available in the column grouping.
I have one header above tablix of constant size. I need to show the header on all of the pages, if the first group value contains multiple pages.
Your question is kind of vague, but to show the header of a tablix on multiple pages, the process is like this:
Click the small dropdown arrow at the far right of the "Rows" and "Columns" section in the "Grouping" pane (By default, it's located at the bottom, center of the design window)
Click "Advanced Mode"
Click the "Static" row grouping for the tablix at the grouping level you want
In the Properties section, change the "RepeatOnNewPage" property to "True"
I hope this helps.

I have a tablix that contains a fair bit of verbiage. There are other tablix that contain a user defined amount of information. The tablix that contains the large amount of verbiage comes afterwards. Upon printing the report, the row of the tablix that contains the large amount of verbiage will push to the next page every time. I am looking to prevent this from happening.
I am not using Row Groups.
I have set the Page break options to Keep together on one possible checked and unchecked.
I found putting the tablix inside a text box helps control this. See below:
Another thing that helps is applying filters to the row to handle how many results are displayed. See below:
This should prevent the page over flowing onto the next. To fit as much data as possible on the page you can always change font size or squeeze everything closer together.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

I have been googling for a good description of this but am not having much luck. I am pretty new to SSRS reports and I am probably not using the correct terminology here. If someone could point me towards an article that describes this that would suffice.
Basically I want to pull a bit into my report, and based on the value of that bit (or maybe a varchar) I want to render an address in different formats, or add/remove some sections completely form the report. I suspect this is basic functionality but am having trouble finding an example. Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks!
If you have a table/matrix the best place to put stuff like this is in columns that are outside of the detail or any groups at the top of the table. You can merge all the cells and add rectangles to add specific formatting. The neat part about using header columns is they can be hidden and the space used will not be rendered.
Say you have a table and Row1 and Row2 contain different formatting of the same data. If you have a report parameter named ShowFormat1 then you can optionally hide/show the correct row with formatting.
Click Row one and Set its Hidden property to =!Parameters!ShowFormat1.Value
Click Row two and Set its Hidden property to =Parameters!ShowFormat1.Value
The same concept can be applied to all elements if you are not using a table or matrix. Non-repeating controls, Rectangle or Image for example, can be hidden but the space used will still be rendered.
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.
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"
Is it possible to "freeze" a column in Microsoft ReportViewer control local mode so that as the user scrolls to the right the first column or two continues to show and doesn't scroll out of view? I am using table type of report.
I found solution.
You have to click on the column above the header of the report designer. It will select whole column including Table Header, Table Details, Table Footer and click on the property (F4). Change FixedHeader Property to True.
