I currently have a report in SSRS that has a large blank area on the first page if I print it or export to PDF. There is no blank space when I view it in html. The report has two main sections, first a rectangle then a tablix. There is a blank space after the rectangle on the first page that pushes the tablix to the second page because it is trying to keep the tablix together. I have KeepTogether = 'False' on the tablix. My desired result is for the tablix data to be partially on page 1 and to spill over into page 2 so that there is no blank space. I know that there may not be an exact solution to this problem but if someone could point me in the right direction I would be much obliged.
The easiest solution I did was to add a new row to the top of the tablix and then to move the rectangle and it's contents into that row. I guess that it counts the tablix as one chunk of content that cannot be separated and that's why all of the content in the tablix was getting pushed to a new page.

When column bigger than page this column stretch to a next page but other cells borders doesn't so I have full page of one column it looks horrible.
Do you know how to fix it?
I am importing data from a single data set in my crystal reports. I have just a single column table in my report. I want to arrange some data vertically say 10 rows of the table (In two vertical lines) and some data horizontally say next 10 rows of the same table (In two horizontal lines). I have managed to do the first part that is arranged the vertical lines side by side (By using the option Format With Multiple Columns in the section expert. I am facing difficulty in arranging horizontal lines on the same page (side by side of vertical lines). Any hints how can I achieve this. Any help will be appreciated.
Note: I have tried the subreports method, but was unsuccessful. The subreports shows one row per page for horizontal data and vertical data also limits then one row per page when I use subreports.

Make sure to choose the correct printing direction. Tick `Across then Down':
Go to Section Expert.
Select the section you want to make it multiple column under "Sections" (usually it's 'Details')
Make sure you have "Format with Multiple Columns" is checked under Common Tab
Now you should see Layout Tab on the top right corner, select that.
Set Width to 2" or whatever you want under Detail Size.
Then under "Printing Direction" set "Across then Down" option.
Click OK and you are all set :)
All Works fine but, rows margin do not cover all height. as shown in attached these two pictures.
How I am doing: I put rectangle in detail band, than sub report and other fields. on all fields, sub-report and rectangle i also apply stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject and isStretchWithOverflow="true" for warping up the text which works fine. I am facing this problem still unresolved.
As per my understanding: sub-Report fields are also stretchType="RelativeToTallestObject but didn't detect or get stretched of its main-report column. while if sub-report need extra space it will show properly. I have tried almost every thing available in iReport-Designer.
Drop figures. Use borders, preferably via report styles.
I have a JasperReports report build with iReport. I have the normal Detail band but below i have a textField named observations there is sometimes the Observations textField is empty or NULL. I have put both inner components namely textfields, lines into frames something like.
I also set using Print When Expression the below frame the one who holds the Observations textField to appear only when there is data on it this is working very good but the space holds by the frame is still on the Detail and we are losing some space and it's kind annoyng to see this blank space.
Is it possible for the report to "delete" the idle space hold it by the hidden frame?
My report's design:
The generated result (PDF file):
I don't think it's possible to alter the height of a band depending on its content but you can actually have multiple detail bands. So add a new one, move your observation text field into it and set the print when expression of the second band.
here's what I am trying to accomplish:
I'm working on a single page report using Crystal Reports 2008, and at the bottom right corner of a page, I have a subreport that puts 1/2" square bitmap images in details-band columns that might print one image, or up to five horizontally. Right now, they print left to right.
What I would like to do is have them start from the right side of the subreport, i.e. the first image in the right corner, and additional ones print to the left. Is there a way to make this happen? I've tried changing Section Expert > Details/Layout > Printing Direction between the options "Across then Down", and "Down and Across", no luck with that.
thanks in advance
I was able to get this approach to work:
create a subreport that contains the image in the Details section. Add a suppression formula to the Details section that reads: RecordNumber<>1;
hide all sections but the Details section
size the subreport to fit the image (1/2" width)
move the subreport to the right edge of the relevant section
link the main report to the subreport
right click the subreport and save it to your Desktop
insert a subreport and choose the one that you just saved
size it to fit the image and move it adjacent to the first one
edit the subreport, hide the non-Details section, change the Details' suppression formula to RecordNumber<>2
repeat steps 5-9 for the remaining 3 images (changing the suppression formula)
The idea is that each subreport retrieves all of the image row for the related row in main report. you suppress all rows in each subreport but the one that you want to display.
