How to build this report?

  • I'm rather new to Reporting Services (2000), so pardon me if this is a no-brainer.

    I am trying to develop a report that includes subreports of child records. I have created the datasets, and they are pulling the correct data. The problem is, I can't figure out how to get a subreport to display ALL the data I need, and repeat for each child record. I can get the information to display in a table, but I would like more flexibility than this, and some of the field information is too big to display in a table cell anyway.

    Any help would be appreciated, or if somebody could point me to some sample definitions, that would be great too.

  • Well your cell width or length should not really stop you from displaying data as it grows if you set the CanGrow properties for the cell to true. Coming to displaying a subreport I did not understand what exactly is your problem. Is it that you are not able to display the data relevant to your parent record? You can place the sub report anywhere in a cell of a table or a matrix and based on the parameters you can display the required infor for each record.

    If you thing space is a constraint for displaying, you may want to consider drilldown report instead of a subreport.
