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

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

Hello,

Please try to set the EngineVersion property for the report to EngineV2.

Thank you.

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
