My institution is using BI Publisher (Ms.Word add on) with Peoplesoft.
Now, I'm doing a report that will print a name and it's description in table format repeatedly. In some cases, the first and second row of the table will be separated in different page. I already tried to check the "Keep Lines Together" and deselect "allow row to break across pages" setting, but only worked with static table, not with table contains BI Publisher fields.
This is the screen shot (look at the red arrow).
First and second row of table are separated in different page
Anyone able to solve this issue? Thanks.
it was done..just create 1x1 table and set it to not allow break across pages. Then, put the the main table into that 1x1 table. Place the repeating tags outside the 1x1 table.
I solve this problem by this way.
Insert any filed into the bottom of the table,then change the filed property as
<?split-by-page-break:?>

I have problem with table cut off the text at the bottom of the table. I have tried all the solutions from checking warping, and other table properties, but nothing worked.
Usually the "Allow row to break across pages" would solve your issue but is probably obstructed by the splitted cells in column one. I'd merge the cells in column one to get equal number of cells in column one and uncheck the "Allow row to break across pages" options on the Table Properties Row Tab.
Copy/paste the text to another part of the document outside of the table.
Then select the text and set Paragraph --> Indents/Spacing --> Line Spacing: Single
Copy/paste back to the table.
I'm trying to display multiple values for one drive by adding a column for each additional record assigned to a drive. For example, a drive ID is unique but can have multiple promotional incentives assigned to it.
For example, if we go to a university on 1/23/2015, that will a unique event or record in the DriveMaster table, but if we are giving away T-Shirts and Pizza, those two records will be assigned to the drive in the EquipmentDetail table.
In SSRS, I'm trying to create a sub-report that will display the promotional items on one line instead of adding additional lines for each promotional item. See screenshot below.
What I'd like to have happen is have the each drive only account for 1 row, and each promotional item listed in a new column to the right. See mockup in Excel.
Is there a way to handle this? I know there is in Crytal Reports, but I can't figure this out in SSRS. I've tried using a Matrix, but I can't see to get the columns to grow if there are multiple incentives.
I added a column group on the Description field, and it looks like that it is close, but that the grouping will create blank spaces (cells) in it.
Thanks,
You have to set a Column Group for your promotional item in your Matrix.
Hope that helps.
Edit:
It looks like there are some areas that contain no data (because of your groupings)
We can do something like the following:
In your query you can use the 'over'
Select DriveID, PromotionItem, ... ,
ROW_NUMBER() Over(Partition by Select DriveID, PromotionItem, ... Order by PromotionItem)
AS ColumnGroupNumber
Then in the Promotion Item group that you have change the field it groups on to the ColumnGroupNumber (or whatever you are going to call it). Just don't change the field in the detail row, or you will not see the details.
I have used this solution before. I found it here.
I am struggling with getting only some group header rows to repeat on subsequent pages. I am using the advanced properties to set FixedData, KeepTogether, KeepWithGroup and RepeatOnNewPage. No combination seems to work. I need the first three rows to repeat because there is only text. The next 8 rows contain group totals that I do NOT want to repeat.
I saw this post:
SSRS 2008: How to repeat on new page one row of table header
but it didn't help me. I still get the TablixMember must have the same value set for KeepWithGroup property as those following or preceding the Dynamic TablixMember.
Thank you in advance.
This is because you are adding everything inside the group.
When you click on tablix row you see a "Insert Row" . When you click on it you can see a row to be added inside the group and outside the group.If you add the row inside the group(which we do and system does automatically) it repeats for every row. So please add a row saying outside the row and try to add sum of the rows in this column. I had similar problem it did solve.
i am creating a report for SQL Server 2008.
i have a table with some rows. One of the row has a long text which will be displayed. If the text has a certain length, the whole row will be displayed on the second page and the half of the first page is empty.
If the text is a bit shorter, the text will be displayed correctly on the first page.
If the text is a bit longer, the text will also be displayed correctly (the first part of the text on the first page, the second part on the second page).
I cant find any settings for this problem.
Does anyone have a solution?
Thanks
Alex
You could look at the Keep together on one page if possible setting at the Tablix level.
You can also look at the KeepTogether property at the row level and at other levels, e.g. Group.
Another option is to insert any objects to be kept together in a parent Rectangle object; this will always keep items together where possible.
Is it possible to have add a row to an SSRS 2008 Matrix that spans all of the matrix's columns?
This crude diagram shows roughly what I'm looking for:
The basic idea is that each line item is a person, and each column is a field in a form for that person. The fields themselves are dynamic (and implemented as column groups on the matrix). Additional column groups are included to append non-dynamic form fields, like the time the record was entered and who entered it. Under each person's record is a comments field, which should span all of the form fields above it.
At the moment I have the matrix embedded in another tablix, with the name and fields in the matrix and the comments in the parent tablix. This works for the data (each instance of the matrix ends up being one row), but the header repeats too often (once per person) because it's attached to the matrix. The only thought I have as to how to fix this is to create another matrix in the parent tablix with the same grouping and use it to display the headers... But this will require quite a lot of manual synchronization to keep the two matrices the same.
Edit: The key problem here is making the second row span multiple column groups.
Here's what you can do:
Select the column grouping you want to add above and right click and select
Add Group... Parent Group...
Group the column by something that will not aggregate the data. You'll have to select a field from your dataset to group by so that it creates an overlapping column grouping.
Check the Add group header box
You should now see something similar to this:
Now you just need to move the Value1 field and it's header over under the new column to the right beyond the matrix dividers. Once that's done, simply delete the ungrouped column where you just copied Value1 from and be sure to select Delete columns only checkbox.
Your finished product should look like this:
It is possible - And the above answers are partial answers leaving out one key step: Merging the cells of the child row.
First, right click on your grouped row, then select Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below and you will get two rows with the cells aligning on the columns
Second, ctrl click all the cells in your new row (ie row without the data) then right click on one of the highlighted cells, and then select Merge Cells.
Now you have the table you like. To add a value to the new row: first right click your new (multi column) cell,select Create Placeholder, and then add the dataset item you desire to the placeholder.
[Edit]
After several attempts, I'm going to say this isn't possible in SSRS. The best I could come up with is a group footer that spans columns 1,2, and 3, but not the User column.
[Original Response]
I recently did something similar to this.
First, what tool are you using to create SSRS reports? (I used SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio)
You'll want to create a row group (grouped on Person)
Append a row to your table in "Design" view (Right click, "Insert Row --> Inside Group - Below").
Add an expression to the row that pulls the value for your "Comment" column (=Fields!Comment.Value).
Let me know if that helps...
Try adding in you column group "header" with a grouping expression of (1=1). Then a detail field will need to be defined. If you define the other group with correct data then the "header" will stretch across all details columns. You may need to merger depending on other options.
The easiest way to do this is to create a Tablix with only one column, and your row grouping.
Then, you create two rows inside this group.
In the first row inside the group, you insert a Matrix, wich you can then subgroup as you prefer.
I just had a similar problem, and this was my solution.
I banged my head against the wall for a lot of time, until i realized the solution to my problem wasn't "making a cell span multiple column groups", but "making a cell split into multiple column groups".
You can accomplish the goal by using a subreport for each person. The subreport will receive the employee id and create the hierarchy for you. Make sure your subreport column widths match the widths of the parent report.
