Controlling the Tablix Data Region Display on a Report Page (Reporting Services)

After you add a Tablix data region to a report, you can continue to develop your design as you work between the Design view and Preview in Report Designer. This topic describes properties for a Tablix data region that you can modify to change the way a Tablix data region appears when you view it in a report.

Controlling the Appearance of Data

The following features help control the appearance of a Tablix data region:

Controlling Tablix Data Region Position and Expansion on a Page

The following features help control the way a Tablix data region displays in a rendered report:

  • Controlling the position of a Tablix data region in relation to other report items. A Tablix data region can be positioned above, next to, or below other report items on the report design surface. At run time, Reporting Services expands the Tablix data region as needed for the data retrieved for the linked dataset, moving peer report items aside as needed. To anchor a Tablix next to another report item, you must make the report items peers and adjust their relative positions. For more information, see Understanding Rendering Behaviors.

  • Changing the Expansion Direction. To control whether a Tablix data region expands across the page from left-to-right (LTR) or from right-to-left (RTL), use the Direction property, which can be accessed through the Properties window. For more information, see Rendering Data Regions.

Controlling How a Tablix Data Region Renders   

The following features help control how cells in row and column group areas appear in a rendered report. For more information about row and column groups areas, see Understanding Tablix Data Region Areas. For more information about how exporting a report to different formats affects the way a Tablix data region renders on a page, see Understanding Rendering Behaviors.

  • Controlling paging. To control the amount of data that displays on each report page, you can set page breaks on data regions. You can also set page breaks on groups. Page breaks can affect the on-demand rendering performance by reducing the amount of data that needs to be processed on each page. For more information, see Understanding Pagination in Reporting Services and How to: Add a Page Break (Reporting Services).

  • Displaying data on either side of row headers. You are not limited to displaying row headers on the side of a Tablix data region. You can move the row headers between columns, so that columns of data appear before the row headers. To do this, modify the GroupsBeforeRowHeaders property for the matrix. You can access this property through the Properties window. The value for this property is an integer; for example, a value of 2 will display two groups instances of data region column data before displaying the column containing the row headers.

  • Controlling Row and Column Headings. You can control how row and column headings repeat or freeze when you view a report. For more information, see Controlling Row and Column Headings. For step-by-step instructions, see the following topics:
