Group/Details Formatting

Hello,

I am developing a report where i have one group e.g. Dealer Name and then details of that dealer.

Dealer details can have around 10 columns and where dealer name is of around 80 chars length. I need to use 10.7in*7.1in page size.

So how i can manage the formatting for dealer group, dealer details in one page.

Thanks.

Hi Amit,

It sounds like you think you can't put the "long" group name on top of the table. Is that right?

If so, try this:

set up your group on the dealer name, as you normally would, in a table now you have your column headers for each of the detail columns, as you usually would|||

Thanks!!....I added one table row and merge the cell. In Detail section for identation i added " "/Space(3)...

Group Filter Not Working

I'm developing a simple client application, using local reports populated from a local dataset, which is in turn saved and read from xml.
I am trying to set up a VERY simple group filter expression and I'm running into problems. What I want to do is display all rows where a date column matches a parameter passed to the report. I'm setting the filter up using something like this:
Expression Operator Value
=Fields!SampleDate = =Parameters!DateParam
I keep getting the following error:

Processing Errors
Value cannot be null.
Parameter name: value
OK

I know I'm probably doing something wrong. The only filter that I could get to not give the error is 1=1. LOL. Please help!You may want to try this approach:

Filter expression:
=(Fields!SampleDate.Value = Parameters!DateParam.Value)

Operator:
=

Filter Value:
=True
