Reporting Services :: SSRS Report Page Footer - How To Fix At Absolute Bottom With Dynamic Body Content
May 20, 2015
We have the customer requirement to display the footer of a SSRS Report fixed at the absolute bottom of a DIN A4 format page. The footer contains information like company address and stuff.
I searched quite a while on this topic and only found workarounds for SQL Server 2005 with Custom Code in the SSRS Report to calculate the size of the body content and then insert some empty lines to get the space needed to push the footer to the bottom of the page. But this won't work in SQL Server 2012. And I wasn't able to figure out how to achieve this yet.

Report in question is an invoice form. It requires an absolutely bottom-of-page aligned footer that has databound elements. This is so that whatever page that footer finally appears on will print in such a way that the address will align in a windowed envelope. Ironically, Books Online gives this exact scenario in explaining headers and footers in SSRS, but they cleverly don't explain how an absolutely bottom-of-page-aligned and data-bound footer can be made to happen. Headers at absolute page top is obviously no problem. Footers at page bottom, not so much.So, this is not a "page footer"--page footers are employed in the body. Also this footer is databound, so a page footer as it's known in SSRS is out the window anyway.
Most of the time this will print on a single page, but if it breaks to multiple pages, that footer needs to go all the way to the absolute bottom.I grasp that the "report footer" for SSRS is just what appears at the end of any repeating controls that you've implemented in your body. Because SSRS uses this kind of repeating-control based idiom rather than a section-based idiom as Crystal does, this kind of (what I would consider very basic) positioning control is looking fairly impossible right now.Among what I've tried:
--Page footer (can't; databound)
--Specifying a page break after the pre-footer controls, and/or a page break before the controls that make up the footer in their properties. This leads to unpredictable results with blank printed pages (as many as 8 for what previews as a 2-page report, how silly is that?).
--Putting in a page-height rectangle as part of the footer (with and without the page breaks mentioned above), with the idea of forcing a basically blank page at the end of the report so that the footer will go to the bottom. SSRS will go ahead and break the page anyway on long elements like that, which again leads to the "footer" being printed in the middle or top of the final page, or whereever it happens to fall.
I may be having to explain to my client that you can't get there from here, and they may have to redesign their report.

There is a huge empty space between my tablix which is inside a rectangle to the footer.
I need to be able to fit another row but the other rows go on to the second page. How can I fix this?

How to creating a Table Of Content with page number in ( SSRS )SQL Server Reporting Services or when exported to pdf report.
FYI, Page number should be there in TOC.
Third party component is not accepted.
Dynamic Document Map will not work, as it cant get the page number.
I understand that there is no buildin feature which support this, but there should be some work around in SSRS or when export to PDF.

Tried to customize footer content by setting variable in code using VB setter/getter methods in the body of the report. Successfully able to change footer content by changing variable value via setter method in the header, but not from the body. I have report content in two table in the body of the report. I would like to change the footer when second table is displayed. Is this even possible?

Is it possible to force the content of the page footer to always display at the bottom of a report? I have a report that shows customer orders. It has its interactive height set to 5 inches. There is one customer order per report page. Most of the reports don't require 5 vertical inches (but some do).
How can I make sure that the stuff in the page footer (date, page number, etc.) always gets rendered in the same position for each report? Currently, the page footer follows the last detail line so the footer information sometimes is only midway down the report page.
Thanks.

I have a report which shows around 8 columns. The report is in landscape mode(Width -11in and Height-8.5 in). I want to display only header in the first page means basically I want to add a cover page.
I have used tablix to display data. To display an empty page, I have added a rectangle before tablix and made add a page break after true. But while exporting to pdf, I am getting 2 blank pages with header. But I need only one.

I have a report (bills of lading for shipments) that uses a table to organize the data coming in and groups by customer. Each customer grouping has a header, body and footer in the table. A print run might generate 100 bills of lading, each between 1 and 4 pages long.
I have marked the group to force a new page when each new group occurs.
As it is the report runs beautifully EXCEPT that the footer prints wherever it happens to end up -- midway down the final page of the bill and looks quite goofy.
What I really need (and my client is really surprised that SSRS won't me) is to print the group footer at the bottom of the final page of each bill of lading.
Bills of lading may be several pages per customer, so until the group footer is hit, I don't want any footer info at all. As I said, it all works fine except for the final page of each bill, where the group footer occurs whereever it has ended up.

This post didn't get much of a response. So perhaps I should amend it -- If what I am trying to do is impossible, what would be the preferred way?

I have to display Top 5 values in 'Green' and Bottom 5 in 'Red' out of some data.
Ex: my data is as below
ID Marks
1 98
2 62
3 89
4 97
5 92
6 67
[Code] ....
Expected result is : if the marks are >= 80 then 'Green' (pick only top 5) if marks are <= 70 then 'Red' (pick bottom 5) else 'Black'
As per my data even though we have values >=80 for more than 5 students display only top 5 in Green and same rule applies for Bottom 5 that means
ID 's : 1 ,3 , 4 , 5, 9 and their marks in Green (pick only Top 5 ) even though we have 6 students who got >=80
ID's : 2 , 6, 16 , 15 and their marks in Red (Bottom 5 but we have only 4 students who got <=70 )

I have created an SSRS report containing a bar chart. The Y-axis contains some application names which are displayed based on a certain criteria. Hence sometimes there are only 2 values in y-axis while sometimes it may range upto 20 items. I have tried a lot but have been unsuccessful in getting a dynamic y-axis which changes with the number of items present.

I created the report, which has 4 pages. Each page contains bunch of tables and charts, which display data in scope of dataset, created for each page and reflecting certain subject. Each page also has Header and Footer.
My users requested, the report has possibility to include or not include data on Page #4.
Other words, report should display 3 or 4 pages based on the entered parameter.
1. I created parameter named “Include #### metrics”, which contains options: Y, N
2. For each object on the page 4 I added dependency on the selected parameter in the visibility option.
Now if user select parameter Not include Page #4, report displays 3 pages as expected and page #4 is empty, but with Header and Footer.
The problem: Their preference is to not to show page 4 at all if someone chooses to not to include #### metrics.
My question is how to force the report to display just 3 selected pages.

I have a set of SSRS reports published on the server. It can be accessed through a web application or through SharePoint. Most of the reports work fine through both - web app and SharePoint. However, one of the report, which returns large amount of data has some problem:
1. It generates fine from web app
2. It generates fine from SharePoint; only if one or two values selected from Filter dropdown
3. However, if all items (about 20 items) selected from Filter dropdown... and click on View Report, it processes for a while and then shows nothing. The page remains blank.
Did some research and felt the problem is with Distributed Cache Service.
Tried restarting it; tried changing SPDistributedCacheClientSetting settings - requestTimeout, channelOpenTimeout... but didn't work.
I checked Event Viewer logs, SharePoint logs and SSRS logs but couldn't find any relevant error messages.

I am displaying the red line in the beginning of the current week column in the matrix table. But for few resources the red line is missing. For Example in below screenshot, refer the 'Adrian Larkin' resource. Here is the SSRS report border expression which is comparing the [TimeByDay] with the current Week First Monday Date to display the red bar -
=IIf(Fields!TimeByDay.Value = DATEADD("d", -(WeekDay(Today(),2))+1, Today()), "Red", "Black")"
Here is the dataset result set. If you refer the column [TimeByDay], it has no record for the date 11/05/2015 for the Adrian resource as he has no assignment for the date 11-05-2015.display the red missing line red bar using the expression or any other solution.

Hi forum members.
I'm a new SQL Reporting user and could use some guidance.
Here is a simple explanation of my application: imagine a report which prints out a grade report for each of 10 students. Depending on how many notes a teacher makes on the student's individual grade report, each student's report might be 1 or 2 pages long.
To create this report I just used a List report item and laid out a typical grade report and filled in the appropriate fields (name, teacher, etc.) from my dataset query.
When I run the report, it is running great and the students and their grade reports all print out.
The problem I am running into is I want to make sure each student's name is on page 2 if the grade report for that student goes more than 1 page (so pages aren't separated from each other or mixed up). I tried using a Report Footer, but that just put the first student's name at the bottom of every page. I could put a textfield at the bottom the list control but that would just appear at whatever length page 2 ended up being (basically you could have a "footer" at mid-page if the whole list only took up 1.5 pages).
How can I create a footer for each set of pages? Basically this would be a "footer" to the list control itself.
Thanks in advance!

I am attempting to pull certain bits of information from the content field in the ReportServer.dbo.Catalog. I found this blog post that is nearly perfect : URL....However, when I try and bring in the query parameters, I am just getting nulls. All the code is:
--The first CTE gets the content as a varbinary(max)
--as well as the other important columns for all reports,
--data sources and shared datasets.
WITH ItemContentBinaries
AS ( SELECT ItemID ,
Name ,
[Type] ,
CASE Type
WHEN 2 THEN 'Report'
WHEN 5 THEN 'Data Source'
[code]....
I've tried various variations on the bit third line up from the bottom without any joy. I been reading lots on XML this morning and thing my head has completely gone out the window.

In Visual Studio, when previewing a report with a footer that has two rows of text, the footer appears to display correctly. When I export to Word, the footer for the first page looks as if it has shifted down slightly and the second line is missing. Subsequent pages show the footer correctly.

I have seen some forums on SSRS page footer which is data bound.
The procedure is as follow:
a hidden text box is put into the body of the page...which can be data bound..
than a textbox is placed in the footer, which is linked to the hidden text box in
the body. This is a good solution to this problem.. but the is 1 major problem I am
facing. I render the report to PDF. But the result is that the databound footer
shows up only on the last page. I need it to be seen on all the pages..
Can someone tell me how to solve this problem?

Example: A sales report that details and summarizes each Salesperson’s total sales within a company’s stores that reside in each state.
The report has 3 levels of groupings where the highest 2 levels require summary counts on a separate page and the lowest level produces a summary count in the midst of the detail lines of the report.
The data consumed by the report is ordered by State, Store ID, and Salesperson.
The header of each page lists the State and Store ID. The detail lines of the report list items sold and the associated sales amount for each item sold by each store’s salesperson.
At the end of each Salesperson’s items sold, a summary line is listed on the next line in the report showing the total amount and total count of items sold by that Salesperson.
The very next line on the report lists items sold and the associated sales amount for the next Salesperson within that particular store.
Summary lines will be produced for each Salesperson within each particular store on the next line of detail in the report.
At the end of all sales data for each store, a summary page is produced on a separate page listing the summary of each Salesperson’s totals.
Each line of the summary page contains the same counts for each Salesperson that was embedded in the detail section of the report.
The summary page also contains a grand total line listing the total count and sales for all salesmen within each given store.
At the end of all sales data for each state a summary page is produced on a separate page listing the summary of each store’s totals.
Each line of the summary page contains the grand totals of all sales for each store within a given state.
The summary page also contains a grand total line listing the total count and sales for all stores within each given state.
The simple breakdown is the groupings and totals for each state and store must be listed on a separate page in the report.
The grouping and totals for each Salesperson must be listed on the next line within the detail section of the report.
Current issue: The requirement is for no page break at the end of each salesperson’s sales data because the page breaks produce too many extra pages in the report.
Disabling the page break at the Salesperson level produces format issues such as page headers printing on the next line in the report before each Salesperson’s summary line.
Disabling the page breaks at this level also produces the problem of suppressing the page break for the summary page that comes at the end of each store.
Question:The report has 3 levels of grouping with Salesperson at the lowest level, Store ID being the parent group of Salesperson, and State being the parent group of Store ID. Is it possible to format the Salesperson summary line (lowest level grouping) as just another detail line in the report without impacting the report format that requires page breaks at the parent group levels?
A sample report layout of what we are trying to achieve is on the next page.
Sales Report
State: Alaska
Store ID: 100
Item Sold
Sales Amount
Hammer
$10.00
Saw
$15.00
[Code] .....
