If I drop a table inside the cell of a larger table, then the expressions in
the child table cells ignore the child table's dataset and default to the
parent table's even though the child table's dataset remains set to its
original value. There is no workaround since there is no way to set a field
to a specific dataset's field unless you use an aggregate value. In my case,
I'm looking for the repeating row's value rather than a count(), first(),
etc. This seems like a serious bug.
The reason I even tried this is because there are major rendering problems
in HTML and Excel that cause wrapping when you have several tables side by
side. They seem to render perfectly in PDF but HTML and Excel yield
unacceptable wrapping.
To MS: We have a funded contract and our customer has selected and mandated
SQL Server Reporting Services. If you could address these problems, I'd
appreciate it very much.
