[SSRS]: Row Number in Footer

Posted on by 1,262

Hello Community,

I was wondering if there was a way to get the Number of rows inside a footer.

I tried the RowNumber function but it is giving an error as it is not allowed to use it inside a footer or header

thank s a lot for your help,

Kind Regards,

Jihane

    Since RowNumber() function can only be used in the report body to retrieve the number of rows in the specified scope, we could not use it in either the Header or Footer area.

    We could use other counting function such as CountRows() or Count() to retrieve the number of rows returned for the dataset.

    =CountRows("MyDataset")

    OR

    =COUNT(Fields!Name.Value)

    Hi Jihane,

    The header and footer sections are used to display the single row data such page number, invoice date, invoice number etc which is common for the whole report and does not have different values based on each record. This is the reason, you can't put table control inside header and footer section. I hope you understand my point.

    Considering the above, if you can let me know what are you trying to achieve, may be I would be able to suggest you better solution.

    Thanks,

    Baber.
