----------------------------------------------------------- From: MeetRajjan Message 1 in Discussion <o:p>Hi All,</o:p> Go through this RDL � FAQs<o:p></o:p><o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: How does drilldown work?<o:p></o:p> A: In a drilldown layout, the query contains the drilled-down items. The layout contains<o:p></o:p> drilled-down items, which are marked as initially hidden.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: How do I page break on a specific number of rows?<o:p></o:p> A: Use a Grouping with a PageBreakAtEnd property. For your grouping expression, use<o:p></o:p> a count running value to derive a unique group value for each block of N rows. (e.g.<o:p></o:p> =Ceiling(RowNumber(Nothing)/20))<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: How do I make a "green-bar" report?<o:p></o:p> A: Use a conditional background color based on RowNumber in each item in the row<o:p></o:p> that should alternate color (e.g. =iif(RowNumber(Nothing) Mod 2, �Green�,<o:p></o:p> �White�))<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: How do I include a global constant in my report definition?<o:p></o:p> A: Add a parameter to your report with a value but without a prompt. Since there is no<o:p></o:p> prompt, users will not be prompted to enter a new value.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: I have two vertical sections in my report. How do I stop items in one section from<o:p></o:p> pushing items in the other section downward?<o:p></o:p> A: Group the items in each section using a rectangle. Since growth only pushes peer<o:p></o:p> items out of the way, the items in each rectangle can�t push each other around.<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: I have an image I�d like to place along the right edge of the page, but the matrix<o:p></o:p> growth keeps pushing it off the page. How do I stop this?<o:p></o:p> A: Group the matrix with the blank space to its right by using a rectangle. Since growth<o:p></o:p> only pushes peer items out of the way, the matrix in the rectangle can�t push the<o:p></o:p> image to the right (until it runs out of room and forces the rectangle to grow).<o:p></o:p> <o:p></o:p> Q: How can I indicate that my table should grow to fill the blank space below it (rather<o:p></o:p> than preserving the blank space)?<o:p></o:p> A: Group the table with the blank space below it by using a rectangle. Since growth<o:p></o:p> only pushes peer items out of the way, the table in the rectangle has no items to push<o:p></o:p> down below it, so it will consume the blank space until it fills the rectangle.<o:p></o:p> Regards Rajjan ----------------------------------------------------------- To stop getting this e-mail, or change how often it arrives, go to your E-mail Settings. http://groups.msn.com/BDotNet/_emailsettings.msnw Need help?
