No problem,First let me give you an example. I'll give you a simple one...[Code]USE NORTHWINDGOSELECT CustomerID FROM Customer GROUP BY CustomerIDGO[/Code]Basically I want a specific report displaying all customers in the northwind database and I make sure I use the group by clause. In your case, you want to GROUP BY your timezone, this is critical in getting the report the way you want it.Okay now that you have your query lets do the report. Drag the table object into your report and set the "DataSetName" to your abouve query, whatever you called this dataset name. Once you have that in place right click the details section of the report and create a "New Group".Set this group to Fields!CustomerID.Value. Make certain you set the property to:"Page break at end". What this means that every time a Customer is listed in the group, a new page is inserted into the report so that the next customer is displayed. In your case, you will set the group by to your timezone, and you set it also to page break after each time zone. Now view the report, notice that each customer / time zone is on its own page. Simply export the report to excel and you will see that each sheet is it's own customer / time zone.Sound good ?Jon Keeping the web experience alive -- [url]http://www.web-impulse.com[/url]Imperfection living for perfection -- [url]http://jhermiz.blogspot.com/[/url] |
