SSRS: Inserting a Table inside a tablix Shows an Extra Blank Row

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,013

Hello awesome community!

I want to develop a report that looks like this:

7206.pastedimage1585848959176v1.png

It's about showing purchase orders but if the PurchLines have multiple different cost centers, the cost center field will split into multiple rows.

So I did that by inserting a table inside the tablix of Cost Center and I grouped it with Cost Center Values while the big base table is grouped by PurchID.

My issue is I get an extra blank row for the mini table of Cost Center at the end of cost centers

Here is a screenshot:

Sorry for the extensive censor lol.

As you can see in the "Cost Center" Column, it splits but it always gives a blank row.

I don't know if it's a blank row or an empty space, because I tried using row visibility option hiding the row based on the following expression:
"IIF(ReportItems!CostCenterField.Value = "", True, False)" but it didn't help.

How can I remove these blank rows or empty spaces?

Thanks in advance!

    Hi Momochi,

    Have you tried to set  Row visibility?

    Use Fields!CostCenter.Value = ""

    Hi,

    Is this related to D365FO or AX2012?

    Best regards,

    Ludwig

    You dont need sub table here. You just need to group it by PO and Data, check description here docs.microsoft.com/.../tablix-data-region-cells-rows-and-columns-report-builder-and-ssrs

    Hi ievgen,

    I used grouping before but the users asked me to make it look like the excel sample I provided in the post.

    They asked me to split the field of cost centers and make the whole purchase order a single row with no repeated data.

    So I tried inserting the tablix inside the field, it worked but the empty space or empty row i'm getting is now the issue.

    Thanks for your time to help.

    I found the solution, by removing the bellow border of the mini table tablix.

    The issue was an empty space, not an empty row, and the reason for that is the mini table inside the tablix does not fill the whole tablix. The adjacent column next to cost center is huge full with long text which made the row fields expand in a result. the expanding of the fields made the mini table borders appear which led it to look like an empty row (empty space).

    So, the solution was to right click the tablix of the mini table, go text box properties and then in the pop up window go to border tab and then remove the bellow border only.

    Thanks!
