Hi All,
We have an SSRS 2014 report that has changes requested. One of the changes requested is to display a footnote on every page that Tablix1 extends to. The footnote is currently in the very bottom row of Tablix1.
There's another tablix before Tablix1, and both Tablix objects will never appear on the same page. Furthermore, the text in my footnote is dependent on the data being displayed Tablix1. (For example, Tablix1 may show "refrigerators" on page 10, "TVs" on page 11, and "Stereos" on page 12. For each of these, the footnote text should be just a little different.) For these reasons, the footnote must be built dynamically, using an expression.
The problem I'm having with the textbox in the bottom row of Tablix1 is that it doesn't show on any page except the one where the tablix1 "Grand Total" row is displayed. (The "Grand Total" tablix row is second from the bottom, one up from the footnote row.) Instead, I need it to be displayed on every page that has Tablix1 visible.
When I took the footnote text (which is generated by an expression) out of Tablix1 and put it in a separate textbox, the report failed. I assume it was because the textbox itself doesn't have a dataset attribute. I assume it must be part of the table in order to know what value the table is using on a particular page, but I don't know.
Can anybody who understands this question provide me with some ideas of how to get a table row to 1) always show at the bottom of other tablix contents on the page, and 2) to display on every page that contains any part of Tablix1?
Thanks,
Eric
