Hello,
I'm trying to design a report that would display data in a list format as well as a graph. To use as much real estate as possible the list should be displayed on 3 column. However the graph should only be displayed once per report and it should be page-width wide.
Now, this is what I've tried so far and none worked, maybe I'm missing something:
- multiculmn subreports to display the list: apparently not implemented in this version yet;
- multicolumn report with the graph displayed in the the page footer: working somewhat, I cannot make the page footer shrink when the graph is not visible.
Any help is greately appreciated.
Thank you,
--Virgil

Hi Virgil,
From the provided example I understand that you are trying to display beside the graph itself, the row data used in the graph.
You can use the built-in functionality of the chart item, and the result I believe will be even more clear for the end users. To do so open the Chart Builder, and navigate to the last tab in it - the "Values Data Table" one. Using the Visible property and the other additional properties you can display the data you want really nice. Please give it a try and write us if you need further assistance or the result does not satisfy you.
Best wishes,

Thank you Milen for your reply. I went in and tried what you suggested, I have to admint it is a nice feature. However it doesn't serve our needs. The problem is that the chart table grows horizontally and our data grows too to the point where the table goes off the visible area. The most important part of our report is the list not the graph, so I that needs to be presented nicely. It appears to me that this feature works great when you are dealing with only a few records.
I will try to see if I can work something else out.

Hello virgil,
I am sorry to hear that this solution does not fit to your needs.
For a custom case like this one possible solution is to make a single column subreport, and dynamically (at runtime) add subreport items with new instances of the subreport for each group of your data. For example from the sample data you provided can be generated four subreport items with subreports fed with different data. Each subreport item can be positioned table-like in the detail section of the master report.
The possibility to fully arrange your report programmatically is one of the biggest advantages of our reporting solution. See Creating Report Items Programmatically for more information on dynamic creation of reports/items.
Write us if you need further assistance.
