Determining scope within table

[Larry]

I had a report that was working, successfuly using "= RunningValue("RptPoLines",Sum(1))" to yield a running line count.

I recently found some fields that were wrapping, causing my borders to "break". The solution appeared to convert from individual fields to a table. I got everything working with the table (inside a group) except for RunningValue.

The current expression (above) yields an 'Invalid scope:' error. The only scope that I have been able to use successfully is the table name (table1). This, however, yields a new count when the group changes.

Is there any way to get a running line count in tables within groups?

I am using Telerik Reporting Q2 2013 Version 7.1.13.612.

Thanks,
Larry

Hello Larry,

Each Table item defines a separate data scope. Thus if you need to show a continuous enumeration of rows between Table items, you need to have this information within the data set or use the event model to count how many times a TextBox item within the Table item template is bound and use that information where needed, e.g:

private void textBox6_ItemDataBinding(object sender, EventArgs e)
 {
     (sender as Telerik.Reporting.Processing.TextBox).Value = counter;
     counter++;
 }

I hope this helps.

Thank you for the response Stef.

I ended up putting the information in the dataset, but will keep your solution in mind for situations where the dataset approach is not so easy.
