Textbox spanning from header to footer

Hi!
I wonder is it possible that a textbox, placed on the header, spans from header, throught the databand and ends at the end of the footer? This is just one cell, containing certaint text which needs to be centered within the whole table.

Wanted to clarify, but found and update. I understand I can allow CanGrow and GrowToHeight if the textbox is located within the databand.

It turns that thre are two consecutive databands, the first one one contains values for the header of the table, the second contains the actual data. I need the textbox from the first databand stretch until the end of the footer after the second one.

Hello.

Unfortunately, there is no such possibility.
Could you send us any sample report template with data?
We will try to find the way out.

Thank you.

Hi,
I have prepared a sample project, removing everything irrelevant, so now there are two programmatically created and filled datatables, forwarded to the report. The passed parameters make SubReport2 become active, as desired (all other subreports have been removed to simplify).

I have marked a rectangle in blue, which we wish to be extended until the end of the table (technically, until the end of the 2nd datasource).

That's how I did it for now, thank you!
What I was trying to achieve is to center vertically in the 'blue' cell. But that's too much effort and can be omitted, since it is not achieved easily (with 1-2 propertes).

Hello,

Please try to set the ProcessingDuplicates property to GlobalMerge for both Text components.

Thank you.
