Hide Pagefooter

Hi All,
I would like to show pagefooter on first page only. I tried with
Visibility -> Hidden = IIF(Globals!PageNumber=1,False,True)
It succesfully hide but showing space on other pages.
Please suggest any solution.
Kind Regards
ZahidWhen the report is rendered at run-time it will always display the
space allocated for the page footer, even if you set the Hidden
property to True.

hide column in a matrix

I'm trying to hide a column in a matrix. I have noticed that you can't just
set the columns visibility mode (no such proprty) so I tried the following:
1. set the visibility of the cells and lower level headers to hidden - works
but the upper level header still takes the space of the hidden lower level
column
2. set the column's width - it can't get an expression. and there is no way
of setting it to be 0 (0.03 is the min)
Any ideas?
Thanks,
EfiHello Efi,
Unfortunately, since the Matrix Column is used for show the Matrix data and
it could not be set to hidden.
You may need to use the Dynamic Group in the dataset.

For example, you may use the Union All to Union the data set and add a
filter in the Matrix to filter the column.

hide column based on Parameter

Hello All,
I need an expression that hides a column based on the report parameter.
So, I add the following expression to column Visibility property:
=IIF(Parameters!active.Value = "Current", True, False)
Which gives me the following expression error:
"Input string was not in the correct format"
Any help is appreciated, I've already searched through previous newgroups
entries/bol with no luck.
Thanks in advance,
RobMy apologies.
Issue has been resolved.
Thanks, R

Hide Calculated Column in Matrix Report And show only in Total

Hi All,

I need to show the Cumulative calculated value only in Total by year/Group. I could not use Visibility expression using

InScope, as it creates *Blank column. Please go thru details below.

Year

Month01 02 03 Total

Salary Salary Salary Salary Cumulative (Calc)

Employee01 20 5 25 25

Employee02 10 10 20 45

.....

Total

How can i achieve this?. Any suggestion on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

You have a couple of options:

1 - Can you add Total Salary as part of your dataset and return that for each Employee/Year ?
If so, then you just include that field in your cumulative statement, so no need for the column

2 - You may be able to take both Tot Salary and Cumulative salary and place them in a single cell using the cells in cells technique. Select your cell and drop a Rectangle control into it. You’ll notice the background change from solid white to the transparent grid pattern. Next, select a textbox control and drop this into the rectangle. You have to get it perfect and sometimes it’s a bit annoying when you don’t land exactly on the control. Next, drop in another textbox so it rests directly beside your first one.
In one cell add your Sal Tot, and in the right textbox the Cumulative Salary. Set the Sal Tot textbox to hidden=True and as small width as possible. To the end user it will appear as though this is a single column.

hide a column in a matrix

How can I hide a column in a matrix? I set the visibility of the column that
I want hidden to True but it still reserves that space in the report. I want
the hidden column to take up no space.

The best way to control this is to restrict the extra column in the
stored procedure/query that is sourcing the report: via a cursor or
while loop. Hope this helps.

It is a very complex dynamic query with multiple parameters passed in from
the calling report.
I came up with a much easier solution. I have 2 matrixes in the report.
They are both in rectangles. The rectangles are hidden or visible based on a
passed parameter. It works wonderfully.

Hidden Property - "Deserialization failed: is not a Valid Value" E

If I add an expression to the visibility property on a text box, table row,
etc.. and then remove that same expression, I get the following error message
in preview:
"deserialization failed: is not a valid value..."
I get an option to edit the XML code. When I look at the code, I find the
<Hidden /> tag. But get this, there is no </Hidden> tag. Apparently, VS is
removing only one side of the Hidden tag when I delete the expression.
I used to be able to edit the code, but now I can't even edit the code to
take the remaining tag out. With this error my rdl file became, for all
intents and purposes, corrupt. Luckily I had posted it to a dev Report
Manager site earlier and was able to recover it.
Has anyone seen this?
Also, not being able to close VS2005 because of the the "Modal Dialog
Open..." box is killing me. Anyone have a solution to that yet besides
killing the devenv process?
Thanks in Advance,
bsod55I just had a similar error - I had to open the file and remove the Hidden
tags. In the IDE I right clicked on the file and selected Open from the menu
- this gave me the XML version and allowed me to remove the tags.
