I am new at using the ReportViewer so please don't be too harsh with me. I have looked at help files but have not found answers to my questions.
I am trying to create a report using the MS ReportViewer. I have two datasets; one contains general information to place at the top of a report (in a visually appealing manner); the other contains rows of data to be displayed. In the Report Wizard it only allows me select one dataset. Do I have to run the wizard two or more times to add other datasets?
Also, the wizard insists that I add aggregated data even if I don't want it. If I do that, can I leave the aggregated info off the report?
Worse still, it insists that everything in the columns group must be in the values box and everything in the values box must have an aggregate function. I have data that contains text; it makes no sense to aggregate words. What is this about?
Is there a better way to create a report?
I have one comment and this is only my opinion. The designers of the Report Wizard should really allow people to select more than one field to drag over. It is intensely time consuming to select a dozen or more fields one at a time.
