Hi,

I currently have a Report with a table which is binded from an IQueryable DataSource. This table only contains a couple small fields and takes up only half the width of an 8"x11" page when in portrait orientation. However, the reports I will be generating will over-fill this table and push the report to two pages. 

To keep everything on one page, I would like to put an identical table beside the initial one in parallel. I've shown this in the attached image.

Is there a way to extend the data onto the second table if it fills past a set amount of records? I could try attaching the DataSource to both grids, but then I would have identical information in both, and the report would still have potential to extend to a second page.

Thanks,

Landon

Hello Landon,

We appreciate you trying to explain what your problem is and how you plan to solve it, but unfortunately we could not grasp either.
If we understand correctly, you have a Table item that has dynamic column groups and in runtime it grows past the defined width for the report and is carried over horizontally on a second page. So far, this is by design and expected to happen. The question is, how and why do you think that using two Tables instead of one would guarantee that they would not extend pass the defined width?

We would appreciate if you elaborate on your scenario or even providing a small dummy sample that can help us understand your goal.

Thanks for getting back to me Steve. I apologize for not being more specific.

I basically want to extend the data horizontally on the page, rather than onto a second page. I've created an image to show this in a bit more detail.

Note: the Data on the left side of the image is just copied and pasted, that is not how my table actually looks.

Best Regards,

Landon

Hello Landon,

If I understand your intention, you want the Table item to grow to the right instead of downwards i.e. increasing the column number instead of rows. This can be achieved by rotating the layout of the Table item (see attached screenshot).

All the best,
