Select the Report Type (Visual Studio Report Wizard)

Use this page of the Report Wizard to select either a tabular report or a matrix report.

Options

Tabular
Create a report that contains a table. A table is a data region in which data is arranged into columns and rows. Tables have a static set of columns, and the number of rows in the table depends on the data in the dataset.

Subsequent pages in the wizard provide options for defining the table.

For more information about using tables, see Adding Table Data Regions (Visual Studio Report Designer).

Matrix
Create a report that contains a matrix. A matrix is a data region in which data is arranged into columns and rows. Matrices provide functionality similar to crosstabs and pivot tables. Unlike a table, which has a static set of columns, matrix columns can be dynamic.

Subsequent pages in the wizard provide options for defining the matrix.

For more information about using matrices, see Adding Matrix Data Regions (Visual Studio Report Designer).
