Using SSRS 2012
I have a tablix on the left side of the page which is tied to a dataset. When previewed the tablix will consume most of the left side of the page as it is designed to do. No problem so far.
I have 4 other tablix on the right side of the same page used just to create boxes and aligned text. I hope the ascii art will help visualize this. I hear that this type of tablix use is not standard and if that is really the problem I will revisit their use, but I like the alignment possibilities.
Here is a graphic representation of the issue:
Design mode:
|HEADER | |------|
| DATA | | xxxx |
| DATA | |------|
|-------|
|------|
| xxxx |
|------|
|------|
| xxxx |
|------|
When run in preview or exported using TIFF, PDF or Excel, I find that wherever the left tablix ends, all the tablix on the right side are pushed below it. Like this
Preview mode:
|-------| |------|
| xxxx | | xxxx |
| xxxx | |------|
| xxxx |
| xxxx |
| xxxx |
| xxxx |
| xxxx |
| xxxx |
|-------|
|------|
| xxxx |
|------|
|------|
| xxxx |
|------|
There are no overlaps, this renders the same in preview and when exported. I have moved the left tablix up and down and verified that the bottom right corner of the left tablix determines where the interference with the objects on the right side will occur.
Please help me understand what is going on here. I understand overlapping will mess things up but as I said there is none of that going on here. The left tablix Page break property is None, False,False
Enclosing everything in a rectangle does not fix this. It moves the entire page down and the tablix still affects formatting as it did before.
I am out of ideas.
