I've asked this question in a couple of non-MSDN forums, so apologies if you're getting bored with seeing it; just hoping to catch the eye of the one person who can answer this for me ...
I'm trying to build a report which contains a couple of tables which need to be rotated to fit the page, and by that I mean physically rotated as opposed to just pivoting the data, as the number of columns is such that they're only readable in 'landscape' mode but the bulk of the report is portrait. Also, I don't know how big these tables are until runtime, ie they may be more than one "landcape" page depending on the number of rows.
Since page orientation appears to be a report-level setting, I was hoping I could simply rotate the tablix by 90 degrees, but, quite surprisingly I thought, that doesn't seem to be possible. Or is it? It could be that I'm asking the wrong question?
I'm surprised that in almost all the cases I've found of others asking this question, what they really wanted was to pivot the data. Surely we've all seen printed reports/articles/books with some data tables in landscape mode before?
The customer wants running pagenumbers/total (ie Page 10 of 150 etc) and these pages could be anywhere in the document.
The report has to be printed hardcopy, otherwise I wouldn't mind!
Any suggestions gratefully received.
Ade
