matrix total column

How do I get the 'Totals' column in a matrix to appear on the left, just
after the row headers instead of on the far right?In the very left hand column, insert a rectangle containing two text boxes
into each cell. This gives the impression of two columns, even though there
is only the one.
It's a work round but it does the job. It would be nice to see this
functionality appear out of the box.

into trouble with a report that looked good in RS and PDF, and threw a nice
little error message in my customized text box when doing something
similar...

makes sense, because the logic of having cells within cells sounds a bit
hokey. When I try it, though, it exports fine. I'm using RS2000 and Excel
2003, maybe you were having a problem with a different version of Excel?

"After")
To do so, Click on the Green Triangle & property. There u can see position
as last property.
