Hi, Are there any way to add page number in page boy without Report Header and Report Footer in SSRS reports?

Ms. Lynn: I do not know of a way to get page numbers without a header or footer.

Maybe one of our guru’s knows a “trick” ?

Would it be fair to ask… but why? :slight_smile: I like to enforce best practices and standards.

  1. Add it to the header and give a name to the textbox (by example txtPageNumber)
  2. Hide the header
  3. Add a text box in the body and change it’s expression for =ReportItems!txtPageNumber.Value

As others mentioned you’ll need the header at least.

Also, there are limits to what you can do with the page numbers…

  • compared to Crystal which assigns numbers as each page is processed
  • SSRS on the other hand, renders all the pages before assigning the page numbers.

Thank you for your reply.
After I did the following expression =ReportItems!txtPageNumber.Value in textbox . SSRS can’t be saved.
It shows error as Report item expressions can only refer to other report items within the same grouping scope or a containing grouping scope.
