How to: Insert or Delete a Row (Report Builder 3.0 and SSRS)

You can add or delete rows in a tablix data region. The tablix data region can be a table, a matrix, or a list. The following procedures do not apply to the chart and gauge data regions.

In a tablix data region, you can add rows that are associated with a group (inside a group) or that are not associated with a group (outside a group). A row that is inside a group repeats once per unique group value. For example, a row inside a group based on the value in a data column that contains color names, repeats once per distinct color name. For nested groups, a row can be outside the child group but inside the parent group. In this case, the row repeats once for each unique value in the parent group.

Note

You can create and modify report definitions (.rdl) in Report Builder 3.0 and in Report Designer in Business Intelligence Development Studio. Each authoring environment provides different ways to create, open, and save reports and related items. For more information, see Designing Reports in Report Designer and Report Builder 3.0 (SSRS) on the Web at microsoft.com.
