Add Column to Table (Not Part of Dataset)

  • Hi. I have been asked to modify a report (pick list) to include a column that has a check box 'Picked' so the user can tick off items picked. How can I do this when the field is not part of a Dataset (or can i do this?)?

    Thanks,

    Phil.

  • Hi Philip...

    Please let me know...are you trying to add a column in SSRS Report where you can display a checkbox???

    Do you want to implement this functionality...?? Or I am guessing it wrongly..??

    Waiting for reply...

  • Hi. Yes. It's required (so I am told) to allow users to tick the line item that has been picked (as opposed putting a red line through the line item!).

    Thanks,

    Phil.

    PS: Basically the report Dataser pulls in all the required data. Just need to add a column to the table to put a check box by each line item.

  • Hi, off the top of my head there are a couple of ways you can do this if you are using a table component:

    1) add another column to the table, put a rectangle in it to act as a container and call it rctContainer, add a text box to rctContainer with the word 'Checked/Picked/whatever' in it, add a rectangle to rctContainer to the left/right of the text box and set its default borderstyle to Solid - bingo, instant check box

    2) using whatever image editor you like create the checkbox and its title, save it as a bitmap and stick it into a new column - this method looks better but is a bit more fiddly

  • Thanks for the tips. I shall have a play today.

    Regards,

    Phil.
