Page break after X items

Is it possible to force a page break after a specified number of items in a table?
For instance, I have a name badge report but I'm running into a problem where some badges are sliced down the middle at page breaks when exporting to pdf or tiff. If I could force a page break after every 2nd or 3rd badge it would alleviate that problem.

Thanks in advance.Figured it out. I added a group on Code.GetCount(RowNumber(Nothing)) with a page break at the end and added this function:

public shared function GetCount(CurrentCount As Integer) As Integer
If CurrentCount Mod 2 = 0 Then
GetCount = CurrentCount-1
Else
GetCount = CurrentCount
End If
end function

Hello Nblankton

that was a very good idea, I did try to use it but for some reason it only works with 2 records.

I tried to change it with Mod 4 (I thought that would break after 4 records but that is not the case, I page break after the 1,2 and 4th record).

I'm not sure if I'm missing something or it is a bug.

Any Idea?

Thank you

You'd also need to also alter the CurrentCode-1 line to subtract the appropriate number so that for all four that returned number is the same.

Something like CurrentCode-(CurrentCode Mod 4)+1.

I worked out a different method later that I think is a little clearer, though. This groups by 3's:

public shared function GetCount(CurrentCount As Integer) As Integer
GetCount = (CurrentCount+1)/3
end function

Hi Nblankton

thank you for the response, after I wrote the note I searched the forum and found this

"=Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/4)" you can put any number (2,5,20) it works, without having to add any code.

Thank you for your help. adding a group to control the amount of record per page is a great idea.

|||hi, I hope someone can help me!
I don't understand where I must place "=Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/4)"

I added a new group (I selected table, right-click Proprieties, groups and add)
and I've write "=Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/4)" as expression, but when I tried to execute , an error rose!
A scope problem

did I wrong the place to write the expression?

Thanks in advance

Page Break after sub report - Not by design

All,

I have a report for a Quote print that has 1 table with 1 group in it by Quote #. The detail level is showing the line items on the quote and a second detail line for a sub report to show any notes. If the quote has 1 line on it, I am always getting a page break after the sub report even if it doesn't display anything.

The report shows the following:

Note each of these will contain a rectangle that the text boxes are displayed in unless it is a sub-report then no rectange.

Group header 1 - Address information

Group header 1 - contains a sub report for some notes

Group header 1 - Opening paragraph

Group header 1 - Blank line

Group header 1 - contains the line headings

Detail - contains the line details

Detail - contains the sub report for line notes

Detail - blank line for spacing

Group footer 1 - hidden based on expression

Group footer 1 - hidden based on expression ** One of these 2 lines will print based on the expression

Group footer 1 - sub report for more notes

Group footer 1 - Closing paragraph

Group footer 1 - Signature area

Group footer 1 - sub report for last page of terms / scope notes. NOTE: This sub report also contains a table and the table has a page break before so that I can get these on another page.

So, after # 8 above there is a page break. The remaining footers before # 14 easily fit on the rest of the page. The group 1 also has a page break at the end so it breaks between quotes. I have tried to insert a page break on the rectangle for # 13 and remove the page break on the sub report in # 14 but although everything fits it doesn't page break before the sub report.

It looks like it always page breaks after the last page in the sub report.

Any ideas on how to get around this?

Thanks in advance,

Sherry

Try this:
1.- In the sub report (on every List or Rectangle you have):
1.1.- Right click, Properties.
1.2.- uncheck "Insert a page break after this list".
1.3.- Click on "Edit details group"
1.4.- uncheck "Page break at end".|||

Thanks for the feedback. I had tried that and then it wouldn't page break.

I did resolve it although I feel the original way should have worked.

I created another Group 1 for the same grouping clause (Quote #). This pushed my original grouping to Group 2. I then put a page break after Group #2. I only had a group footer for Group # 1 with the sub report in it. I had to take the sub report page break before off.

Thanks again,

Sherry

Page brakes after top group item

I just started with reporting services.
I created report that has two groujping items in the table. Everything works
fine just I always get second row for the top level group on the second
page. This doesn't make any sense to me
1) I am using HTML rending and I don't need all this pages
2) the top group item has only one detailed item and second has about 8
items they all can fit on one page even if viewed in collapsed state
3) There are no any forced page breaks for any table items and for table
itself.
Any ideas how to solve the problem?
ShimonSorry
I just figure out that it looks like that only in preview but on the site it
looks fine.
Thanks,
Shimon.
