    Hi all,

    Do you know how to print / display the "Data Source Name" on the RDL footer?

    Thank you in advance!

    The short answer is yes. However, I think you are probably asking the wrong question.

    There is no built in field or other system value exposed for the data source to be used in a report. So, if you are looking for a value you can just drag into a text box from the expression builder you won't find one.

    If you don't care about an existing built in field or other system value, simply add a text box to your footer and type the name of your data source in there.

    I think that would be a waste of ressource, but you could also include it in the datasource itself. But over 100K rows, it starts to add up!

    I already have the data source on a text box. I would like to auto populate it from the Data Source Name. 🙁
