ssrs 2008 r2 straight line in a matrix

  • In an SSRS 2008 R2 new report have placed a matrix on the end of the report for information the user wants to see at the

    end of the report. The user wants to place a straight line between the different infomation sections in the tablix. Here are

    the problems I am having:

    1. In a row I would like to merge 2 cells together so that a line placed within the matrix is the same length. The problem is that I do not know how to merge the cells.

    2. When I drag a line into a cell in the matrix, the line is not straight. The line points to an angle. I have tried to change

    the properties of the line on the endpoint values but that has not worked. Thus can you tell me how to make the line placed within a matrix cell to be straight?

  • Are you trying to point at something with an arrow or underline something? Underlining is easy, but drawing arrows on something that will change shape might be tricky.

  • I have created an extra row in a tablix so that I can draw a straight line. I could also underline the text in 2 cells in the same row. Can you tell me how to accomplish this goal?

  • I do not know how to merge the cells.

    depending on where you are in the tablix, you may or may not be able to. What I mean is, it's going to depend on the grouping etc. Hard to tell without seeing your report. If it comes to it, just post your report with a dummy union query as the data source. It's just really hard to fix what we can't see.

    Can you just create a border on a row of cells (either top or bottom)? Or do you need an arrow?
