"Footer Band" disappears when I choose "Down then Across"

Post by hammad »

In my report(.mrt), I am showing attendance of each employee in two column format. If I choose "Across then Down" for data band, everything is fine but when I change it to "Down then Across", my footer band does not show. I show "Total Hours" of each employee in the footer which is not showing. If I put it in title section, then data is displayed.

Is this a bug or some issue with my report? How to make footer show when I select data format "Down then Across". Thanks

Please see the attached TestReport.mrt.

Database Script for this example:

Code: Select all

create database test
use test

create table students(id int not null primary key identity,
name varchar(20),
rollno int)

insert into students values('Joe',1) -- run this line 6 times
Repro: Notice that when you first open the file and go to preview, the footer says: Total = 6. Now change the data "Column Direction" property to "Down then Across" and see that the footer does not show anything.

Thanks

Hi Aleksey,

I am a little lost on setting Engine Property of the page to EngineV2. In my MRT designer, I went to properties tab, select the "Report" from the dropdown on the top and tried to look for Version Property but I don't see it there.

I also tried to manually edit xml of .mrt by adding the following line but no look.

Code: Select all

 <EngineVersion>EngineV2</EngineVersion>
Please help how to set Engine property to EngineV2.

Hello,

Please clarify which version are you using. This property was added in 2008.2 version.

Thank you.

Hi Aleksey,

I can confirm that once I am at work. For now, is it a valid bug? Were you able to resolve it by setting Engine=EngineV2. And is there any alternative to it, in case I am using an older version. I searched quite a bit but could not find this setting.

Thanks

I am using Version 2008.1.129, so basically the Engine Option is not available to me. Is there any other solution? Thanks
