Multiple DataItem messing up report

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Community Member

I am creating a report. I started with just one dataitem with bunch of columns. Everything was working fine. Underneath that I put in another dataitem set that is pulling from the Sales Invoice line. When I entered this in and then ran the report again, one of the fields just started repeating over and over.

    Then you have placed the fields in a repating section of your report layout.

    Are you using a word layout or rdlc layout?

    Then you can probably share your rdlc layout here. Then it is easier to see.

    Here is the layout. I also changed the properties on these fields so that HideDuplicates is set to DataSet_Result. That stopped some form repeating, but when I import and run the report I get 34 pages. It needs to be just 1.

    Hi, It looks like you are showing all the values.

    If you have only one Header data, try First function.

    If you have multiple Header data, try to use Get Data and Set Data.
