Rectangle keeps expanding and moving other report items

Hi there,
I am using SSRS 2010, and I am trying to make an rdl to fit exactly on pre-printed paper so I need report items to occur exactly where they are located.
In the attached image , I have a header and then two rectangles (shown selected) in the body.
What is supposed to occur is products are populated in the table in the first rectangle, and everything in the bottom rectangle is supposed to stay in place regardless of how many products
occur in the top rectangle.
What is happening is that I have aligned the bottom rectangle based on a single product, but any report that contains multiple products is pushing the bottom rectangle downward and out of alignment.
My searching of this forum has shown that:
Items will push or displace each other within the rectangle.
Items will not push or displace items outside the rectangle, because they are not their peers.
Because these two rectangles are separate and not peers, I can't understand why the growth of the table in the top rectangle is pushing the second rectangle downward. I assumed the second rectangle should always stay fixed, and this needs to happen but isn't.
NB: I have made sure that any report items are located within the parent rectangle and are not behind the rectangle.
Any help would be much appreciated thanks.

Hi SynchFX,
In Reporting Services, the size of rectangle will automatically resize as the contained items (table, matrix, image, textbox etc.) grow. In your scenario, it means that when the table size change dynamically (show all the values in the detail row), the first
rectangle will also be resized to adjust to the height of the table. With the expansion of the first rectangle, the second rectangle will automatically move down to free up more space to the first rectangle. Because all the items are displayed one after another
in report. This is by design. And based on my research, I find that we cannot achieve your requirement at the moment which you can see on the link below:

Thank you for your understanding.

  • Date field positions vertically and overlaps other report items

    I have a date field on my reports and they are positioned on the right of the report canvas where they have enough cusion space. Somehow they[label and the date itself] are coming appearing on multiple lines..one below the other instead of appearing in a single line. My settings are:
    Vertical Alignment:Fixed
    Horizontal Alignment:Fixed
    Base Printing:Enclosing
    Keep with anchoring object:No
    The field displays whatever fits on 8 units on the grid and then moves the remaining data on next line. My reports are not character mode.

    I think I need to expound on my message.
    I am actually upgrading from Oracle reports 6i to oracle reports 9i. The date field prints successfully on one line in the margin for the oracle 6i reports. HOwever there is some wrapping for the oracle 9i reports. What i have noticed is that when I place the date field anywhere within the range 0 - 8 units on the paper layout grid in the margin, the date prints successfully. Otherwise it wraps. I have no such problem in Oracle 6i.

  • How to update PO Price only for a single line item and not other Line Item

    Hi
    My requirement is not to update Price of PO from PIR if the Final Invoice Indiactor is not set and it is not a return PO. I am trying to do this using
    BAPI_PO_CHANGE to update price automatically from Pricing record using
    POITEM-PO_ITEM = '00001'
    POITEM-CALCTYPE = 'B'.
    POITEMX-PO_ITEM = '00001'
    POITEMX-CALCTYPE = 'X'.
    The price gets updated for the line item 1 as well as other line item which I do not want. Please can you tell how to restrict that.
    Is it possible to restrict through configuration if this indicator is set there should be no price update. I tried to check in ME22n and if I update the condition item by pressing the update button the other item price also gets updated.
    Thanks

    Timestamp is date and time together in one field..
    Search for data element TIMESTAMP.
    If you are getting this in your table.
    If you are getting time and date in different fields then you can use the function module
    given below....
    CALL FUNCTION 'DELTA_TIME_DAY_HOUR'
      EXPORTING
        t1            =
        t2            =
        d1            =
        d2            =
    IMPORTING
       MINUTES       =
    Then you can convert minutes into seconds..
    Function module credit to BrightSide it works....but only it will give difference in minutes

  • Placement of datamerge boxes and moving master page items

    You helped me with my data merge problem earlier. Now I have successfully brought my excel info into Indesign with datamerge but I can't seem to get the multiple boxes to sit on my page, they are grouped together to the left and down from my page.
    Also I've used master pages to create a header and footer for each page and the left hand page behaves as it should, but the objects on the rh master page appear lower and to the right of where they should be. I've attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean. It's a bit hard to see the rh page header, but it should be similar to the lh page. I'm using CS6.

    After a bunch of trials and errors I think I've done the multiple records correctly. Just had an A4 page with nothing on it except the one text box and with no master pages - I changed to facing pages and did the master pages after I'd done the data merge.
    It seems odd to me that the header and footer on the lh page is correct but not on the rh page when they've been made the same way.
    I've just gone through my whole document and moved all the text boxes to where they should be and if I don't come up with some remedy that's what I'll do with the rh page but I'd really like to solve this mystery as I'm so pleased with the whole data merge system that I'd like it to work 100% properly.
    The overset text is not a problem as I'm going to link my text boxes to deal with text of different lengths and some fields to be deleted. I've done the data merge several times while I worked out the right size for the text box to fit my desired page format.

  • Questions on Analyzer Upgrade and Moving Analyzer Reports from Development to Production

    Hi,We run Analyzer 5.0.3. We are planning to go to Analyzer 7.2. Did any body go thru this upgrade? If so, what is your opinion and tips that may help. Also, we never had Analyzer development environment. We are planning on having Analyzer development environment. In our installation, all of the Analyzer reports are centrally developed based on user requests. Once we have development and production at the same Analyzer version, if a report is developed in the development system, how can the report be mirateed/moved from development to production system?Thank you for your help,Prasant

  • Expanding and Moving of a SkinnableContainer

    Hello!
    I am using Flex 4 and a SkinnableContainer. I add the container with
    this.addElement(theSkinnableContainer);
    to my screen.
    My problem is, that I willnot only put the Container onto the screen, I want, that you can see how the container will be displayed. So I think about a kind of an expansion. So the container could be 1x1px and then expand to the 92x92px size. Is this possible and how could I do this?
    Also I do not know how to move such a container onto the screen. There is a move method for it, but you can not see the move. I want to see the automatic movement from one side to the other side of the screen.
    Perhaps someone has an idea?
    Thanks a lot in advance & Best Regards PHANTOMIAS
    Source code of the SkinnableContainer:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

  • When playing downloaded pod casts (Dan Patrick Show) tracks keep switching and playing spontaneously?

    While listening to downloaded podcasts, tracks keep stopping and moving to next track in list randomly.  Durring key presses, durring mouse movements, or just sitting and listening. There seems to be no rhyme or reason, but it is totally annoying especilly since the intro to the next show is like 3 times as load and disturbs others in the office when I can't turn it down in time.  Any suggestions?

    Oh dear! but thank you for a quick reply and your kind welcome!
    I thought the side to side motion would be to protect the screen somehow but i dont really like it!
    Not at all relaxing when playing a soothing song to see the graphics flipping back and forth.
    Its great technology, amazing, but could this viewing option be changed somehow by the wizards at apple.
    I might need to hit the off button on Tv and just listen on speakers otherwise.

  • I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    I keep Mail open on my MacBook Pro and prior to Mavericks items would open on my 27" secondary display. How can I make this happen in Mavericks?

    In System Preferences > Mission Control, uncheck mark Displays have seperate windows. This should bring you back to the secondary display you had before the upgrade. You may have to open Mail, the first time and place it on your secondary display. You also won't have the advantages of the dock and menus on the secondary display.
    I keep my own secondary display with these settings because I need the ability to expand a window across both displays.

    Troubleshooting help needed:  My iMac keeps crashing and restarting with a notice: "Spinlock application timed out"  What can I do?

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • HT6030 Having major Mail problems since I updated Maverick on my 27" iMac. Delays deleting emails and moving emails to other folders. Anyone else having this issue? If so, any known fixes?

    I have an iMac that around 3 years old. Just installed Mavericks when it first was released. I also have a Time Capsule (2TB) that runs my network to my other three Apple devices: iPad2, iPhone 5s and a new Apple TV. Having major Mail issues here. Everything is very delayed and extremely slow. Moving emails to other folders sometimes takes a few minutes and the same goes for deleting emails. Delete them and they don't go into the trash for several minutes. It's getting very frustrating to say the least. Mail also quits very often. Mail also will freeze with the little color ball spinning, therefore I would have to force quit Mail. When the errors occur, it's automatically sent to Apple but there hasn't been an update since 10.9.1 that has fixed it. Apparently, that update was only for gmail issues. Anyone having the same problem? Fixes please?

    I have my entire network and all Apple devices setup as IMAP, not POP. If your settings are setup as a POP account on all devices, emails will not erase when deleted on your other devices. Just something to keep in mind. I'm sure you're aware of this but just wanted to throw it out there. Google IMAP vs POP. However, it seems like your having the same issues as I am. I'm going to swing by an Apple store by me and speak to the genius bar and see if they can come up with something or are aware of this issue. Keep you posted.
