I have a report with multiple tables. One of the tables has
a dynamic number of rows and columns. Both the number of columns and the number
of rows makes the table larger than one page (spanning it over 4 pages). But
something is adding blank pages to the report, sort of like the other tables
are wide enough to require 2 pages (but they are not that wide).
If I delete the table, the other tables render correctly. Or, if I set the paper size to 17x11 inches (big enough to hold the table on one page), I don’t get extra tables. I've set Keep Together = False on all elements of the table, panel, and section.
I attached .png's of each page. I had to block the content, but I hope it's still useful. As you can see, pages 2, 4, 6, and 8 have the page number in the footer, but are otherwise blank. They shouldn't be in the report.

Hello Joe,
This is the expected behavior when horizontal paging occurs - Understanding Pagination (Horizontal Paging).
To avoid the empty pages, test using custom PaperSize that will gather the widest item into a single page.

Thanks Stef!
Is it possible to force a page break after a certain number of columns, or after a certain table width is reached?

Hi Joe,
PageBreaks are supported only by report sections. The Table item does not provide page breaks, it is split based on the report's PageSettings properties. In case the item exceeds the available space in width, the horizontal paging will add a blank page after each vertical page.
Instead test using a custom PageSettings' PaperKind and PaperSize. This will let you gather the whole report in width, after evaluating the data in code.
Other approach is to group the Table item based on the data as in How to: Create Multi-Column Report - Across the Page and Then Down.
