User Guide
Reference : Report Controls : Table
The Table control is used to arrange the report information in a tabular layout.
When a Table control is dropped onto a report's band from the Toolbox, it becomes a table of one row and three columns. If the user clicks and drags over several bands, the resulting table will be split by the bands into several tables. This enables the creation of a table header in the header band and the table's body, with one mouse move.
A Table control bound to data is created automatically when a data table is dragged and dropped from the Field List window.
A Table control consists of Table Row controls, each representing one table row. Each Table Row consists in turn of Table Cell controls, each representing one table cell. They can be selected and customised individually (see Table Row and Table Cell).
To select the Table control in Reporting, use the Report Explorer or the dropdown menu of the Property Grid.
