The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Multiple Detail Lines in SSRS Matrix Report

Asked by corwin_ranger in SQR, SQL Reporting

Tags: , ,

I'm trying to develop a report for a client.  This client manufactures shutters for houses.  This is a production Worksheet report (Cureently designed as a matrix report.  Along the X-Axis is the colors for a particular shutter type/length.  Along the Y-Axis are the various lengths for the currently selected shutter type. so for example

A matrix for 18" louver shutters might look like this

Length                          Colors
              ALMD  WHIT  BRWN  BLCK  BLU
23"
27"
35"
41"
54"


Now in the detail portion of the report, for each color/length combo I need to lines of data.  One representing the current inventory level and the second showing how many need to be produced to meet existing orders.  Now, I have a report where I filled the textbox in the detail cell using an expression which contained the data I needed sperated by a line feed.  This gives me the basic look I need and since it's a matrix report, the size is dynamic based on available colors and sizes.  Where this seesm to fall down is that ideally the client would like different formating (colors mostly) for each of the detail items.  It seems to me that I can only change font color at the text box object level.  Is there a way to change the color of specific text in the context of the expression or perhaps a way to stack two text boxes on top of each other in the same cell to accomplish this?  Perhaps another way that I haven't really thought of?
