Change units in BIDS?

  • This seems like a pretty simple question but it's driving me batty.

    I am using BIDS to create SSRS reports. BIDS is showing measurements in cm. I want to switch it to inches or better yet, pixels. I cant find anywhere in Tools / Options to change it. Is it there? Am I blind?

    Thanks!

  • Two options that i know of - change your regional settings (ugh but doable); or (in SSRS 2008) right click on the report (not body) and select Report Properties. In there, it will let you select from Inches or Centimeters.

    Steve.

  • Thanks, I changed my regional settings. It's not ideal but it'll do the trick. I'm using SSRS 2005 so the other option you mentioned doesn't exist.

    Any existing reports have stayed in cm but I'm hopeful that new ones will be in inches -- since the grid is in fractions of inches it just makes more sense!
