Hi we run std 2008 r2. My report's 2nd tablix is sourced relationally. It has a row grouping on distributor name and a column grouping on manufacturer name. There are about 9 statistics (some additive, some avgs) that can show for each manufacturer as they relate to a (this) distributor.
A distributor can have parent and child companies. My user wants the distributor to have expand collapse capabilities in its parent child hierarchy, presumably defaulting to just top parent on open.
My first 4 questions are:
1) do I need to switch to olap?
2) if not, what needs to change in my dataset, just an additional parent name?
3) assuming it wont break the whole report, what setting(s) do I change in the tablix/grouping to make this happen?
4) when my user saves to excel, will expand/collapse functionality carry over? I'm assuming it cannot in pdf and word.
I'll search the net in the mean time.
