Paginated Report not showing column headers

[mp390988]

Hi,

I have a paginated report set up as per below:

When I run the report, for some strange reason i get missing field headers as highlighted in yellow in snapshot below:

I have no idea at all why this is happening.

Does anyone know?

Thank You

To fix missing column headers in your paginated report:
- Go to Row Groups → Advanced Mode
- Select the static header row
- Set RepeatOnNewPage = True and KeepWithGroup = After
- Make sure visibility is not hidden
- Avoid page breaks that split headers

Possible Causes of Missing Field Headers

1. Visibility Settings

   • Check if the header row has conditional visibility set (e.g., Hidden = True based on an expression).
   • Sometimes headers are hidden on certain pages due to expressions tied to parameters or page numbers.

2. RepeatOnNewPage Property

   • In tablix or matrix reports, ensure the header row has RepeatOnNewPage = True.
   • Also check KeepWithGroup settings — it should be set to After for the header row to stay with the data group.

3. Page Breaks

   • If you have page breaks set on groups, they can sometimes cause headers to disappear if not configured correctly.
   • Try removing or adjusting page breaks and see if the issue persists.

4. Rendering Issues

   • Some rendering formats (PDF, Excel, etc.) behave differently. Try running the report in different formats to see if the issue is consistent.

5. Report Layout

   • If the headers are part of a separate textbox or rectangle outside the tablix, they might not repeat across pages.

✅ Steps to Fix

1. Open the report in Report Builder.
2. Select the tablix or matrix.
3. Go to the Row Groups pane.
4. Right-click the static row (header), choose Properties.
5. Set:
   • RepeatOnNewPage = True
   • KeepWithGroup = After
6. Check visibility expressions and remove any that might hide the header.
7. Preview the report again.
