Hi Stuart,
Are you setting the visibility of the tablix itself with an expression or just hiding the rows? You might also get better responses for SQL issues on the SQL list: <http://www.sqldownunder.com/Resources/EMailSupportListserver.aspx> http://www.sqldownunder.com/Resources/EMailSupportListserver.aspx Another good option is #sqlhelp on twitter.

No co-operation here so I've dropped it. The solution is to write separate reports for each scenario, not ideal nor elegant but it will have to do. I tried in both client side reports - Visual Studio 10 and server side SSRS 2008 & the same problem occurs. A trivial exercise in other event driven report managers is a nightmare in this beast. - Stuart On 13 December 2012 22:59, Stuart Kinnear <stu...@skproactive.com> wrote: SSRS 2008. I think I am getting closer but still struggling. I set both tablix to the same dataset and filtered it. This way I was able to embed the two tablix within a parent tablix. But setting the row visibility did not do anything different - Arrgh ! Anyway, I've come across another article suggesting a static row group. This I'll try tomorrow when I've cooled down a bit. - Stuart On 13 December 2012 21:12, Greg Low (GregLow.com) <g...@greglow.com <mailto:g...@greglow.com> > wrote: Hey Stuart, Which version are you using?

I have a report that is composed of two tablix controls one above another. Tablix A has an unique set data Tablix B has an unique set data . If tablix A or B has no data the control should hide itself and collapse its presence ie zero height. The problem is that if Tablix A has no data it uses up its allocated height, however, if we swap the scenario and have no data in Tablix B no height is taken, because of the report property 'ConsumeContainerWhiteSpace'. Next I thought I could embed the tablix controls within a host tablix, then set the rowVisibility property based on the tablix A or B Hidden property or its underlying dataset's row count. Much cussing and infuriation - the child tablix controls cannot have independent data sources. Where to next ? toss the whole lot in the bin and go back to ComponentOne ? Surely this can't be that difficult ! -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Stuart Kinnear Mobile: 040 704 5686 <tel:040%20704%205686> .
