I'm using rdlc files to generate pdf files.
What I basically want to do to is to display the data of my data set on two "synchronized" tables.
The image below represents the result I would like to obtain:
The image represents one page of the pdf, on which the data is group by a certain attribute of the dataset.
Please tell me if any clarification is needed, it's hard for me to explain clearly.
How can i do that with 2 tables as a single object?
I managed to do this with a Tablix as the container. Add two lines of header and add another two Tablix to each cell of header with data. You cannot use Data row, you have to remove it. You can add a Tablix to a cell with drag and drop.
In the end, you will have something like :
Probably something alike can be achieved with subreports, but I'm not familiar with them.
EDIT:
Added screenshot
I believe this is what you want to see. 1 column, 3 rows Tablix. In Cells(1,1) and (3,1) you have other Tablix objects that you can customize.

We need to print and send letters to correspondents. We're generating PDFs using:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.LocalReport
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportDataSource.
Each row in the data source contains a name and an address.
Our Requirement:
If there are three rows in the dataset, we want a single PDF generated with three of the same letters (but different names & addresses).
Is this fairly doable with Microsoft Reporting? What's the best approach?
I see where DataSources are valuable for creating tables within a report, but what about an entire page generated for each row?
We found a solution:
Add a table to the form.
Remove ALL but one row and one column, no header
Add the appropriate dataset
Drag recipient info (name, address) to text boxes on the form.
Fill in the rest of the contents of the letter
Set proper break points on the outer rectangle
Doing this created three "letters", one to each recipient, and with the same content.
These three letters are now inside one PDF, which is what we needed
Since i haven't find a way to merge colunms cells in rdlc, I've tried to concatenate 2 tablixes horizontaly- one is "standard" table, and the other is one field (those were my needs).
Running my sp on my rdlc, it works fine where there is one record to display.
However, when the result is multiple records, and I'm saving results in .pdf file, the 2 tables are not "synchronized" together any more - the gaps between results of each records are different.
I've tried to surrender the tablixes in rectangle and define a page break after rectangle - table still not synchronized...
Please advice..... ☺
Combine your two tablix into one. You can create the appearance of having two by putting an empty column between the two "sides" with no borders on top or bottom of the cells. It will look like two tables side by side, even though it is one table, and the rows will be forced to line up horizontally.
Another possibility for you is to have a sub-report. Create a simple report of just the tablix of the second table in question of the field(s) you want to include.
Then edit your primary report to include the sub-report. I cant direct in detail now how to link-up the sub reports and parameter link them, but suggest some reading up on it. So Each detail row in the parent report would be a group by (its PKID for example), then add the sub-report to it. This way as many rows at the sub-level go if 1 or more...
I'm having a one strange scenario. Before going into it, I want to say that I'm very beginner to this rdlc report. Hence I'm struggling to resolve it.
What I want is ?
I want to show the page header in all the pages.
What I have is ?
I'm having one header part which is having few textboxes and the body part which is having two tablix. Here, the two tablix consists of two difference datasets. The first tablix is grouped under Group1.
What the issue I face is ?
The first tablix consists of 50 records, that occupies three pages. In all the three pages, the header part is visible. When the second tablix is coming into the fourth page, all the header part turned into # error. Really struggling a lot to solve this.
What I tried is ?
Opened Advanced Mode in the Groupings pane.
Clicked static and changed the Keepwithgroup = after and Requestonnewpage = true.
Note : I did this for the two tablix but nothing works. Also I'm not sure that this will give the way.
Also I checked in report xml file also.
Checked Repeat row on each page and Repeat column on each page.
Hope you understand my problem. Kindly guide me where I'm making mistake. Thanks in advance.
How to merge rows in RDLC vertically? I've read some answers that its not possible but any work around?
I've also tried the solution specified here but its not working.
I wish to achieve like Result column below:
If its belongs in same group like header, detail or footer you must be allowed to merge cell, but if its in different groups than not possible.
I've had a Google but I find no answer. You know how say in MS Word, when you insert a table, you can merge the columns of one single row to create a column-less row? Or have say a main header and then more columns inside it? Like so:
Merged Row:
|Column 1|Column 2|Column 3|
|Value|Value|Value|
|Merged Row|
|Value|Value|Value|
God the text formatting is awful on this web-site...and the Header Column example:
|Main Header||Another Main Header|
|Column 1|Column2||Column1|Column2|
I'm trying to achieve this in a written DataTable in C# which is being populated by an array. But I'm interested in changing its structure as one of the above, whichever is possible/easier.
So I've created my DataTable and added normal columns and rows etc. But I'd like to create either a merged row or a main header to display. Instead of having a repeated value in a single column for the values I am getting.
Can someone please provide a quick example on how I could achieve either one of those? Because repeated value will just look ugly.
Cheers.
You're talking about displaying data in a particular way but a
DataTable has nothing to do with display. It is for storage and that's
that. How you display the data is up to you. The same data can be
displayed in innumerable different ways. In a WinForms app, one of the
most common ways to display the contents of a DataTable is with a
DataGridView. You can choose which columns to display and merge cells
in that grid if desired. In short, you're looking in the wrong place
to do what you want to do. It is a presentation issue, not a data
issue. –
