<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have a report that has a page break at group level (person). I've just received a request to amend the report so that it has another group level (department) now so that we can get overall stats per department. <br />
<br />
I want the report to initially just display the department and person without person detail so I've set visibility on the detail row group to be hidden with a toggle on the department name (as they will either want it printed in expanded form with detail row group details or summarised by person by department).<br />
<br />
The problem I'm getting is that the page break is still being applied at person level so I get a page with one person line on it irrespective of which department they're in. I only want the page break by person <b>if the report has the detail row group expanded</b>. Is there a way of only applying page breaks on whether a group's detail has been expanded please?

Can you do a page break dependent on whether a group is expanded in SSRS 2008?

SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS) is a server-based report generation software system from Microsoft. It can prepare and deliver a variety of interactive and printed reports and is administered via a web interface or its web service.
