Hello guys,
sorry if I am posting in the wrong section of the Forum, I am looking for the help on SSC.

My Issue:
Hey guys, I have a requirement form the SharePoint developing team, they have given me a simple SELECT statement with a Where Condition and asked me to develop a report and I did.
so far so good. Now, they want to have a Dynamic Report Headeing which displays different Heading for Different Report-data, to explain more here is a screenshot:

when the report fetches the data for 5 countries then they need heading like "List for - COUNTRY1 COUNTRY2 COUNTRY3 COUNTRY4 COUNTRY5"

but,
- They don't want additional DataSet
- They don't want any changes to the query (which they gave)
- They don't want any additional Parameters

in shot,
as per my understanding, i guess they are asking me to write custom code to do so! (in VB.NET)
and i have no idea about it

Please do help me guys
Best Regards,
Cheers

Solution 1

Bring a column from query which displays country.Then add a expression in the textbox to display it...Use the same dataset, Use table control instead of textbox with only one column which looks like textbox. Its simple Imran.Try it.

Thanks for the reply Manu, we can not insert a table in the Header of report.
with your idea, in the body of the report i have inserted a table and got the column name into it. Out of curiosity when i run the report I get only the last country name, I need all countries to be displayed thr! :'(

Solution 3

add a column header, that will look like a report header...make that row visible always.
