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.

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?

Nothing is better than it works for you. :)

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

Matrix Pagination

Hello,
I've been developing a matrix report in Reporting Services, and for
some reason, pagination does not work. Instead of getting page breaks
when the report runs over the page height, the report renders as a
single page. PDF export seems to work fine (i.e., the pagination works
correctly), but regular HTML display of the report does not.
I've checked every parameter that I could find -- KeepTogether, page
height, etc. -- but the matrix does not paginate. Am I missing
something? What else should I check?
Thanks for your help,
GarrettIf your report uses toggles for visibility, pagination may not work correctly
in HTML, while it does render correctly in PDF. My understanding is that this
is being worked on for the next service pack.

groups in my report. The report is meant to be dynamic so the user can
select which dimensions are displayed, and therefore the visibility is
based on specific report parameters.
I took out the visibility expressions, and pagination started working
again. Thanks for the suggestion and the quick response. Now I just
need to figure out a way to make pagination and dynamic groups work
together (besides waiting for the next service pack).
