I want to Repeat Page Header on each Page for reports.Repeat on NewPage is not appearing in properties of Tablix member in SSRS 2008

Question

How to Repeat Page Header on each Page. Repeat on NewPage Property is not appearing in ssrs 2008 tablix memeber property

Answer 1

After a little experimentation, I figured out how to consistently get the table header to repeat on every page.

The setting of the RepeatColumnHeaders property on the tablix seems to have no effect on this behavior. Instead, we have to set it on a static member of the row groups.

To see the static members of the row groups, click on the small drop down arrow on the far right of the row groups/columns groups header. Then select Advanced Mode.

With the static members of the row group shown, select the first one in the list. The top left cell of the tablix should be selected in the designer.

Now open the property pane and find the property RepeatOnNewPage and set it to True.

Then find the property KeepWithGroup and make sure it's set to After. If it's not, set it to After. Now your table header will repeat on every page.

Depending on how you created your new report, the Tablix xml may or may not have attached the correct properties to the "Header" row of the tablix.

Here is another thread on SQL Server Central with the fix: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/Forums/Topic593245-1063-1.aspx

Here is the important bit:

for SSRS 2008,

If a report with a table is created using the wizard feature (In Solution Explorer, right click on >Reports --> Add New Report) Table Headers will repeat on every page.

Instead if a report is created without using the wizard (In Solution Explorer, right click on Reports --> Add --> New Item) Table Headers will not repeat on every page. Setting Repeat Header (Rows/Columns) on each Page for the Tablix will not help either.

If you have already built the report and cannot rebuild using the steps above and if and only if you are comfortable altering the xml behind the rdl, do the following. (Save a Backup rdl first)

View Code. Look for TablixRowHierarchy Below that there will be a TablixMember that corresponds to the header row. to that header and any other header rows ( Tablix Member) add the three element properties.

<TablixRowHierarchy>
  <TablixMembers>
    <TablixMember>
      <KeepWithGroup>After</KeepWithGroup>
      <RepeatOnNewPage>true</RepeatOnNewPage>
      <KeepTogether>true</KeepTogether>
    </TablixMember>
  ...

You should see the header rows repeating.

I tried this in my own Report and found it fixed the problem.

You could also turn on "Advanced Mode" in the Row/Column Groups window and then modify each Static Row entries "RepeatOnNewPage" setting. You'll probably have to set "KeepWithGroup" to "After" as well.

This works well if you utilize a subreport as your header.

here the steps you can follow. this resolved the issue(column header on each page):

1) in design mode of rdl file, at bottom you will find "Row Groups" and "Column Groups" (left and right, respectively). Beside Column Groups you will find one arrow button.(this arrow button is right side of column groups protion). click on this arrow button.

2) Check the "Advanced Mode"

3) RowGroups section you will find "(static)" and "(Details)". click on static and press F4(to check it's properties.)

4) provide "Keep With Group" as "After"

5)Provide "Repeat On New Page" as "True"

6) Go back to table, Right click on row header, Go to tablix properties.

7) check on "repeat Header Column on each page" and "repeat Header column on each Rows"

Hope this will help you.

Answer 5

You can repeat page headings on every page if your page breaks are due to breaks between groups (hard pagination). You cannot repeat page headings between pages if the pagination is due to a small interactive page size (soft pagination). To repeat page headers on each page between groups, make the headers of the tablix part of the group and under the General tab of the Tablix Properties window check Column Headers -> Repeat header rows on each page. You can also do this from the general properties window of the Tablix by using the RepeatcolumnHeaders = True.

Please note my comments are limited to developing SSRS 2008 reports in BIDS. I do not know if this functionality exists in Report Builder.
