Arrows in tables?

Hey all,

I think the answer is no, but I was wondering if it was possible to make trend arrows like you would see on a stock ticker or something similar inside a data table in reporting services. Thanks for the continued help!

Yes, you can do this. The first step is to place an image control in the table where you want your trend arrow to appear.

Then you have two options, you can return the image from your dataset, and set the source of your image from your database query, or you can embed the arrow images in your report, and then in the cell where you want your trend arrow to appear, you can use an expression to determine which of your embedded images will appear.

Try playing around with the properties of an image control (in vs you have to use the properties pane, not the properties dialog box that appears when you right-click on the image and select properties.) If you can't figure it out, post back and I'll try to walk you through it.

So just put the embedded images in the same spot and use an expression to decide on one?

|||Embedded images are stored behind the scenes in the report. From the report menu in VisualStudio, you can select embeded images and capture any images you want available. Then, when you add an image control you can select those images as the source, or use an expression to dynamically choose the source.|||I got it, thank you very much!
