How Do I Insert a Page Break After a Specific No of Rows in a Table in SSRS?

Recently a couple of my SQL Server Reporting Services clients have asked, how can they add a page break after a specific number of records in a tablix object.

This is a modification of my orginal blog post How Do I Set Number of Records per Page in SSRS?

To give them a bit more flexibility I decided to add a parameter, that allowed them to change the number of records per page

Solution:

  1. Create a new report, and the required datasource and dataset
  2. Create a Parameter field:

    • General -
      Name: NoRecords
      Prompt: Enter No of Records Per Page
      Data Type: Integer
      Select Parameter Visibility: Visible

    • Default Values -
      Specifiy Value - Value 25


  3. Add a Tablix object to the canvas
  4. Add the required fields to the tablix
  5. Click on any cell in the tablix
  6. Right Click on the Detail Row selection button
  7. Select Add Group - Row Group - Parent Group
  8. In the Tablix Group dialog box, in the Group By expression box, enter:

    =CEILING(RowNumber(Nothing)/Parameters!NoRecords.Value)

  9. Press the OK button

    This adds a Group 1 section to the tablix, and in the Row Group Section at the bottom of the screen

  10. In the Row Groups section at the bottom of the screen, select the down arrow of Group 1
  11. Select the Group Properties
  12. In the Group Properties dialog box:

    • General - Name: Page_Break_Group

    • Page Breaks - Between each instance of a group

    • Sorting - Select the Sort expression column and press the Delete button

  13. Press the OK button

  14. On the tablix, Right click the Group 1 column
  15. Select Delete Columns
  16. in the Delete Columns dialog box, select the Delete Columns only
  17. Press the OK button
The report now only displays 25 records per page, but will change based on the value entered in the parameter
