When grouping data within a List control I need a header table and child table. The data comes from 1 datatable where the 1st #n columns are duplicated for each detail rows.
The usual answer to this is to set the hide duplicates value in the textbox. This suppresses the text but the row is still processes and the real estate for the row is used in the report.
This was snaffled from a 2007 blog and I need to keep it for my reference.
Place this in the ROW visible field, replacing the
PK_Field1
with the name of the field you set for Grouping
=(Previous(Fields!PK_Field1.Value) = Fields!PK_Field1.Value)
Started my programming life writing Excel 1.0 macros, God what a long time ago.
Now I'm a dotnet developer, I get to influence direction, play with new toys, build stuff, life is wonderful.
Greatest buzz you can get, walk past a row of desks and see your application running on all of them (and getting paid).
Greatest irritant, pouring 12 months of knowledge and experience into an empty head only to have it leave.
And now I'm retired, no deadlines, no meetings, no managers (except the ONE) and no users!
