Is there anyway for reporting services to display measures on rows instead
of columns as in Excel?
I'm trying to format my data in rows but this doesn't seems possible in
reporting services... does anyone has any examples of how this can be done?Create a shared datasource to Foodmart 200 and try this RDL. HEre is a sample
report that i created with measures on rows.
