Like many others, I have a large report that groups on invoices, and does a page break between each invoice. From reading other posts in this forum, I was able to reset the page number on the grouping, however, there are some things that I need to display only on the last page of each invoice, but I don't see how I will be able to determine when I'm on the last page for a particular invoice. Can I somehow determine up front the number of pages for a group so I know when I'm at the last page?
I've posted a feedback with Microsoft to see if we can get them to fix the issue described below, but so far no one from Microsoft has commented to let us know what they're doing about this problem! I'm posting this here to see if maybe we can get more people to rate this feedback or chime in on what a pain it is! Please feel free to add your own comments or how you had to work around this issue and whether or not you think this is something Microsoft should be addressing NOW.
Provide Individual Page Numbering per Group and Total Pages per Group
Currently in a Reporting Services report, you can't readily reset the page number for each group in a table, nor can you display the total number of pages per group. For example, if I'm printing invoices and each invoice is a separate group, I'd like to be able to print "Page 1 of 5" , "Page 2 of 5" etc. for the first invoice, then "Page 1 of 3" when the next invoice begins, and so on. This was easy in Crystal Reports. I realize that Crystal Reports has a two-pass process that enables that kind of pagination. However, this is REALLY important functionality that's just missing from Reporting Services and I'm hoping you'll provide it REALLY SOON! Yeah, I know there are work-arounds if you can know exactly how many rows of information there are on each page. But gosh! That's not practical, especially if you have second level groups inside the main group or text blocks in rows that can 'grow' to more than one line. I've read a couple of work-arounds, but none of them works correctly and consistently when more than one user is running the same report or when you print the report while you're looking at it on the screen. I still may need access to the overall report page number and the overall total number of pages, so don't get rid of that. It's just that if you're doing this already for the entire report, I don't see why you can't do it per group! Lots of people have been asking for this for years, and I don't understand why it hasn't been implemented.
I've read a few articles on this topic, but no one has come up with a decent work around. My theory is that Microsoft should be addressing this immediately. This is major functionality that's just plain missing from SSRS and should have been there from the start. If anyone from Microsoft can let us know what's going on with this issue or if anyone would like for me to clarify this further, feel free to let me know.
I've built a few reports using Reporting Services. The number of pages in my reports isdifferent in the on-screen rendered report from the printed version. My report properties are set to an A4 page (210 x 297) and also Globals.Page give me a different result. (on the screen I see 2 pages and I print 6 pages).
I have reports that when rendered in html have a different number of pages than when exported to pdf. I have noticed that none of the formats have the same number of pages. I have InteractiveSize and PageSize set exactly the same. Is there any way to get these to agree?Thanks, Brian
I have a report that is created that is typically 2-3 pages long. I've tried the "ExecutionInfo.NumPages" but it always results in "1" as the answer. Code is something like this:
============
...
Dim reportHistoryParameters As sqlprod1_res.ParameterValue() = Nothing
Dim SessionId As String Dim execInfo As New ExecutionInfo
Dim execHeader As New ExecutionHeader()
Dim result As Byte() = Nothing
Dim format As String = "PDF"
Dim devInfo As String = "<DeviceInfo><Toolbar>False</Toolbar></DeviceInfo>" Dim extension As String = "" Dim encoding As String = "" Dim mimeType As String = "" Dim warnings As sqlprod1_res.Warning() = Nothing
Dim streamIDs As String() = Nothing
result = rs.Render(format, devInfo, extension, encoding, mimeType, warnings, streamIDs)
execInfo = rs.GetExecutionInfo()
Dim Pages As Integer = execInfo.NumPages ============
I am reading the official documentation on pages and extents. I've also read an article on the official SQL Server Blog (sadly, I can't link as a new member). These articles do a good job explaining what an extent is.Why use extents at all?I can't find a good example anywhere of how grouping pages into extents make SQL Server work more efficiently. Any good example of what SQL Server would be missing if it didn't have extents at all, and how extents fix this?
We have 2 users accessing exactly the same reports/data but who are getting different numbers of pages printed.
The report viewer displays 12 pages of data; when one user selects Print preview they get 12 pages displayed and 12 pages print. When the other user displays exactly the same 12 pages of report data and preview it, they get 24 pages, with the last column apparently spilling on to a second page. I realise that physical pagination is controlled by the print control and is unrelated to the HTML rendering, but the users have the same printer selected and the print-preview shows the margins set to the same size. What else can be causing the difference?
We are using RS 2000, SP2. TIA for any assistance with this.
When viewing a report our users see that it is x number of pages, however when they print the report is actually y number of pages. For example once a report is ran, it says that it is 43 pages, however in actuality it is 62 pages. If they only want to print the last page, they choose to print 43 from the print dialog box, but that gives them a page in the middle of the report not the last page. Is there a way to remedy this?
It's no secret that the number of pages in a rendered report varies depending on the format. I have no problem getting the total number of pages for reports rendered in image formats from the web service, but I can't figure out how to get the number of pages for reports rendered in HTML.
I've always been under the impression that the Report Manager that ships with SSRS uses the same web service (reportservice.asmx) and IT can get the number of HTML pages, so it has to be possible.
It is using a table to display a very large amount of data (a basic list of information) with groups. Each of the groups can span multiple pages, so the user may not realize where the grouping actually began (I am repeating the group headers). Therefore, I would like to modify the group header when it is repeated across multiple pages by simply adding the text, "(cont.)" to the header so the reader can easily see that the group started on a prior page. There does not appear to be any standard test function for this condition. Using Previous() for this case does not work. This cannot be a new issue and must have been solved; any help with this would be greatly appreciated. Sorry if this has been asked before, I did search the forum but could not find an answer to this question...
I am using SSRS (Sql server reporting services) for one of my report related to EIS-MIS. i want group wise page numbering and also display the no. of pages for that particular group.
e.g suppose group 1 has 5 pages then it should display page no. 1 /5, 2/5,3/5,4/5, 5/5. now suppose group change then it shold display 1/4 like this
I have already implemented groupwise page numbering using then custom code and i have call that function from the header portion of the report. now the question is how can i display the total no. of pages in particular group?
For that i have add one count column in query itself but as we know we can't use field value in header and footer portion and also we can't use global variables in data portion.
in microsoft doc there is written on the topic of BP Extensions with SSD's in SQL Server 2014: only clean pages are written to disk... does this mean data pages that have not been modified yet? or also those data pages that have already been modified, and where log has finished writing and the transaction has been marked as commited??
why are there clean data pages being written to L2 cache to make space for other not modified pages? I mean, shoudnt they be modified first, before letting other unmodified data pages into the Cache? I mean they have still to be modified..that makes no sense to me to page them out and page them in again just for other data pages...

CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Student]( [StudentNumber] [varchar](50) NOT NULL, [Name] [char](50) NOT NULL, [Contact] [int] NOT NULL, [Address] [char](50) NOT NULL, [DateOfBirth] [datetime] NOT NULL, [YearEnrolled] [int] NOT NULL, [Year] [int] NOT NULL;
And insert the following data:
INSERT INTO Student VALUES('IT123456X', 'Ahmad Adam','05-18-1997', '33 Mangis Rod', 19970518, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('IT334455U', 'Mary Tan', '01-23-1996', '51 Koon Seng Road', 23-01-1996, 2012, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS123456X', 'Samuel Lee', '03-30-1997', '2 Joo Chiat Lane', 30-03-1997, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS234234Z', 'Nathaniel Koh', '12-08-1997', '5 Stll Road', 08-12-1997, 2013, 1); INSERT INTO Student VALUES('BS987987F', 'Siti Faridah', '07-04-1995', '3 Duku Road', 04-07-1995, 2011, 3)
How do i calculate the age and how can i group by the StudentNumber like 'IT%'
I need a new field added 'Field1' which will add SEQUENCE number 1,2,.. based ON GROUP BY MasterID..AND another field TotalCount which will COUNT total masterID (here it will be 2)
How can I add a group number to the following query?
For example, I want to be able to have all rows that have Category = 'Field Sales' and Division = 'CA BDM' to be given a unique group number (GN):
RN ReportDate Category Division TotalBalance -------------------- ---------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------- 1 2015-06-08 Field Sales CA BDM 299743154.3912 2 2015-06-07 Field Sales CA BDM 299765954.0354 3 2015-06-01 Field Sales CA BDM 297902654.4172 1 2015-06-08 Key Accounts Life Office 49954981.74 2 2015-06-07 Key Accounts Life Office 50016989.22 3 2015-06-01 Key Accounts Life Office 50169967.26 4 2015-05-31 Key Accounts Life Office 50169918.01
Becomes
GN RN ReportDate Category Division TotalBalance -------------------------- ---------- ------------------------------ ------------------------------ --------------------- 1 1 2015-06-08 Field Sales CA BDM 299743154.3912 1 2 2015-06-07 Field Sales CA BDM 299765954.0354 1 3 2015-06-01 Field Sales CA BDM 297902654.4172 2 1 2015-06-08 Key Accounts Life Office 49954981.74 2 2 2015-06-07 Key Accounts Life Office 50016989.22 2 3 2015-06-01 Key Accounts Life Office 50169967.26 2 4 2015-05-31 Key Accounts Life Office 50169918.01
i.e. each combination of Category+Division results in a new GN.
The query is:
selectROW_NUMBER() over (partition by Category, Division order by ReportDate desc) 'RN' , ReportDate , Category , Division , sum(BalanceGBP) as 'TotalBalance' FROM FlowsAndOpenings group by ReportDate, Category, Division order by Category, Division, RN
I know how to reset the page numbers with each group, but how do you reset the total page number within each group.
EX. Code for page of total pages
="Page " & Globals.PageNumber & " of " & Globals.TotalPages
EX. Code to reset within a group Custom Code: Shared offset as Integer Shared currentgroup as object
Public Function GetGroupPageNumber(group as Object, pagenumber as Integer) as Object If not (group = currentgroup) offset = pagenumber - 1 currentgroup= group end if return pagenumber - offset end function
Sorry if this question has been answered before--i tried a search but nothing came close to what i needed.
I have a report I am creating where I need to group on whether a number is positive or negative. The number will never be zero. This number is a decimal (currency), if that makes a difference.
I have tried creating a formula field with the following expression:
Code Snippet
IIf(Fields!Num.Value > 0, 1, 0)
I tried creating a group using this field (essentially, positive = 1 and negative = 0), but it gave me no results at all.
If you need any more information, please let me know and I will provide what I can. Thanks for your answers!
Hi, I have a report where i do a page break for each supplier. I want to reset my page number to '1' when there is a group break.When i googled for this functionality i found the following chris Hay's blog which provides the solution. http://blogs.msdn.com/chrishays/archive/2006/01/05/ResetPageNumberOnGroup.aspx But if i follow the same, I get #Error instead of page number during the run time.How do i resolve the error? Also, I want to display the "page 1 of totalpages in group" like that. Is that possible?
I'd like to get the column ID_NumofAttach to be populated by the total number of ID_Attachlevel column by the same ID_BegAttach or ID_EndAttach and populate where ID_Attachlevel is 0.
I'll try to make this simple. I'm on SSRS 2005 and I have a report with a matrix object that has one row group and one column group. I need to switch the number format only for values where the column group has a specific value.
For example, here are the records in the table: Customer, Type, Amount Customer1, Revenue, -100 Customer2, Cost, 60 Customer1, Revenue, -200 Customer2, Cost, 125
By default the matrix object shows the following (the total comes from the standard subtotal on the column group): Revenue Cost Total Customer1 -100 60 -40 Customer2 -200 125 -75
But the users need the report to look like this, with all positives (why, oh why?! ): Revenue Cost Total Customer1 100 60 40 Customer2 200 125 75
I was able to use the inscope function to switch the signs of the Total numbers. But now I need to switch the signs of the Revenue column from negative to positive (and vice versa), without affecting the signs of the Cost column. It's strange to me because I CAN switch the signs for a specific row group (changing Customer1's number format, without affecting Customer2's format) using something like this:
But a similar expression specifying a column group value does not work, because the report seemingly doesn't recognize the value of the column group at all no matter what I do:
The other reason why this is strange is that I've done drill-through reports off of matrix objects where specific column group values (the ones clicked on) can be passed into the drill-through report parameters. So it recognizes the column group values upon drill-through, but not for formatting?
How else can I do this? I must be missing something here. Thanks.
I need to calculate the last two columns (noofgrp and grpsize) No of Groups (count of Clientid) and Group Size (number of clients in each group) according to begtim and endtime. So I tried the following in the first Temp table
GrpSize= count(clientid) over (partition by begtime,endtime) else 0 end and in the second Temp Table, I have select ,GrpSize=sum(grpsize) ,NoofGrp=count(distinct grpsize) From Temp1
The issue is for the date of 5/26, the begtime and endtime are not consistent. in Grp1 (group 1) all clients starts the session at 1030 and ends at 1200 (90 minutes session) except one who starts at 11 and end at 1200 (row 8). For this client since his/her endtime is the same as others, I want that client to be in the first group(Grp1). Reverse is true for the second group (Grp2). All clients begtime is 12:30 and endtime is 1400 but clientid=2 (row 9) who begtime =1230 but endtime = 1300. However, since this client begtime is the same as the rest, I wan that client to be in the second group (grp2) My partition over creates 4 groups rather than two.
