Page break inside grouping - asp.net

I have implemented tablix inside tablix concept. I done this with the help of following link.
I have one table A, that is holding other two tables B & C respectively. I have grouped these two tables with the help of Dept_Nbr from first table A.
What I want is:
I want to give page break in between two tables. For example, I have Dept_Nbr as 529 and 530. In one page, the two tables will show the records for 529 and in the other page the two tables will show the records for 530.
Now I want to show all these records in four pages. first table is in one page and second table is in other page for 529th Dept_nbr and vice versa for 530.
How to give Page break inside grouping.
What I tried is:
I gave Page Break on Group Properties, Hence Page is breaking in between two groups. But I want a page break inside a group itself.
Also I checked the check box on tablix properties i.e.., Add Page Break Before and Add Page Break After. But nothing gives the output as it is already in grouping.
Please guide me on the same. Thanks in advance.

Add a parent group to Table A that encompasses the rows containing Tables B & C. For this parent group, group on Department Number. Then, as part of the group properties, you can have it break between groups.
As your question and layout stands now, you're asking that the report break between detail rows. As far as I know, this is not possible.

how to implement a counter with AngularJS inside a ng-repeat?

I've got an app, where I get a bunch of data from the API, this data rapresents activities done on a given
day in a given month, and they are displayed in a table.
I can have different tables (let s say one for working activities, one for school and so on).
In the tables, <TH> are the days of the month, and the first TD of each row is the month.
The table only generates a row for any given month only if there is data in that month.
A first ng-repeat will create X number of tables depending on the different activities, and
a second nested ng-repeat will fill the rows of the table for the months with data in it.
Everything works fine, but I have an issue.
There is a specific print view for these tables, before it was one table per page (I used a css rule to break page after every table)
but now I wanna implement something better, as a table could have only one row
(let s say you have activities only in january, and none in other months)
it's pretty ugly when it breaks the page and prints just one table with one row in a new page.
So I wanna implement a counter that let's say after 15 rows it will break the page.
By 15 rows I mean global rows, so it could be a full table with 12 rows (12 months with data) followed
by a table with 3rows only, and then it would break page for the next table.
What's the best way to achieve something like this in angularJS?
with: p.presences.length I get in return the number of months each table in the ng-repeat will have.
So my idea is to have a counter that adds p.presences.length at each iteration of the ng-repeat, then I would use that counter in a ng-class to break the page,
Currently to break pages I'm using this code:
<div class="breakPagePrint" ng-class="p.print ? 'showTablePrint' : 'noDisplay'"> </div>
with this css code:
.breakPagePrint {
page-break-before: always;
}
p.print is a Boolean that is given by a checkbox on every table, so if the user wants a given table to be included in the print page, he ll check the box.
so my idea is to put in this ng-class an expression with the counter, something like
ng-class= "tableCounter > 15 && p.print ? 'showTablePrint' : 'noDisplay'"
but in this case the counter should get reset after 15 otherwise it won't break page again after another 15counts (at 30).
If anyone has some ideas on how to nicely implement a counter and how to use it at best in my case.
Thank you
Use the $index of your ng-repeat to check to see when it has covered a multiple 15 records or use the p.presences.length if that gives the property you need (i.e. the counter for each row). Then insert the div at each multiple.
Assuming your div above currently works (but only for 15 at the moment) then just add the following code to that div. This uses the modulus of 15.
<div ng-class="{'breakPagePrint':(p.presences.length%15==0),'noDisplay':(p.presences.length%15!=0)}"></div>
(I'm para-coding so not 100% sure of the syntax) But give that a try and see if it works. But basically it adds the breaking div whenever the p.presences.length is a multiple of 15, or every 15 records.

Filtering data and Display Heading based on filters

being a newbie to SSRS, I am trying to figure out the following:
say for instance I have a dataset which does a :
SELECT [cols...] from [some view]
I want to be able to further filter this based on parameters given from an ASP.NET site (I am using the AJAX control toolkit for the report viewer). There could be x amount of parameters and potentially can be filtered on 1 or more columns.
First question is, how would I filter the dataset and pass along the parameters along with which field the filter should apply to? I may have [col1] and I want to filter it with x values.
Second question Is, I want to be able to group the results per page based upon a column. So for each grouped result set, I want them to be displayed per page (per group per page).
Then on the headers of the page, I want it to display what the page grouping is. How would I do this?
In terms of what have I tried - nothing as I DO NOT KNOW HOW, it is why I am asking the question here to see what the experts (you) can suggest and guide me.
thank you!
To do this you can create Parameters in SSRS, they do not need to be in your query or anything. Then, go to your tablix and click either ROW or column depending on the filter type and set it show/hide visibility. For example I have a report that has personal information, so i have true/false parameter that hides/shows those columns, similar I have one that hides/shows any row with a -1 for the total paid.

VB.net 2010 RDLC dynamic tablix inside list

I have a table(tablix) inside a list in my report, I want to group and list detail items in the tablix, but its not working. When I try to create the grouping in the tablix it says that it needs to have static members. How do I get around that?
Here is a picture to clarify a bit...
Once I row group the list(red), I get the correct information on all the fields aside from the tablix(blue). In the tablix(blue) I get the aggregates(orange) correct, ot_plt count shows 3 the other sums show the summed total correctly, however; the details(pink) only shows the 1st item and doesn't list all 3 items.
So my question is, what do I have to do to make all detailed items show up on the (pink).
I tried to add another group on the tablix(blue) however, that throws the static member error, i mentioned in the beginning; any help with this would be appreciated.
Thanx....
I forgot about this question...
But good news is I found the answer and since there were 53 views in this question. I will post the answer.
I created a sub-report inside of the (red) list and placed the (blue)tablix in the subreport. I then grouped the row as I did with (pink) and added 2 parameters to the subreport, passing values(criteria) to it from the main report.
That allowed me to show detail on (blue)tablix.
Hope this helps anyone who is having this issue...

DataPager, change count items

I'm using a DataPager control, I want to change count items on each page.
For example :
the First page 6 rows, the second page 311, the third page 12, etc.
Is it possible? If so, how?
my advice is to do it manually, make your own sql query and customize the page size as you want
here are some tips that can help
to get range of rows that are needed for pagination user the row number
MS-sql row number
use the TOP to get the upper set of rows
select TOP 5 * from ....
for sure you'll need to get specific row numbers that will be displayed in the current page
select (--get row number--) from tbl_smth where row_num>5 and row_num<10
were as i guess that you have the page sizes in an array so you have to count them to determine the two numbers {5,10}
hope this will help

RDLC report footer with value from "Current Record"

I don't know if its possible or not, but thought I'd ask. Many times reports need data grouping to have anchored to the bottom of the report some summary information, such as invoices. You don't want the totals shifting UPwards based on only 2 detail lines vs another with 20. I've tried working with using the Tablix bound to the data source for the output but couldn't get it quite right... It would either shift up, or force break and appear at top of following page.
So, if anyone has some ideas to help resolve that, that too would be great.
My second approach was to just use a simple report page footer. However, the overall "Report" page is not technically "BOUND" to any datasource. So, if I put a textbox in the footer and want it to show something, I can't pick "the most recent row from the datasource associated with the Tablix", it always requires an aggregate, such as
=First(Fields!SomeField.Value, "SomeDataSource" )
=Sum( ...
=Last( ...
etc...
I just want it to have whatever was the most recent... so I tried to use report variables to create one and was thinking to have it get updated per row being processed, so it always had whatever the "latest" value was and I could just dump that value at the bottom of the report.
Any suggestions to either would be great. Thanks.
I know this is an old question, but I had a very similar problem and came up with a unique solution. I had a statement that needed to have the payment slip print at the bottom of the page even if the statement line items wrapped over to another page. I solved it by:
Making all rows in the report a uniform height.
Calculating how many rows were required to fill the page (minus the height of my payment slip.
Getting the number of line items in the statement.
Calculating the remaining number of rows needed to push my payment slip to the bottom of the page.
Adding a sub-report with the calculated number of blank rows to pad out the necessary space between the line items and the payment slip.
The advantage of that approach was that I could generate bills for multiple customers, and since the padding is part of the group it would be customized for each customer's bill and bottom-justify the pay slip for each of them.
You can use a similar approach to push your "footer" info to the bottom of your page. Since it is still inside of your data group you'll have access to the data values you need as well.
In the footer you can refer to report item from report body, like this:
=ReportItems!myFooterValueTextBox.Value
The catch is that you can refer to only one report item in your footer, so you may need to add invisible footer row in your table and concatenate all your totals into one cell (myFooterValueTextBox) in that row:
=First(Fields!SomeField.Value, "SomeDataSource") + "|" +
Sum(...) + "|" + .... +
Last(...)
I used pipe as deliminator in my example, so then in the footer, I would split the string and place values in appropriate containers, like this:
=Split(ReportItems!myFooterValueTextBox.Value,"|")(0)
