We've ended up creating a workaround by using dynamic indexes and rankx to at least be able to print for example the first 20 rows on page 1, 21-40 on page 2, 41-60 on page 3 etc.

 

In our case we have user feedback so usually contains a lot of commas, so export to csv doesn't work well.

That wouldn't work in all cases, if we didn't know the number of rows that would be displayed right?

 

I have data that can have from 10 to 100s of rows depending on the filters selected, in this case I might be showing empty pages if less data is there. Did you have any work around for this?

    AnonymousThat's correct what you say, we have empty pages that are sometimes filled and sometimes not, depending on the amount of rows. We've not found another workaround. Our client requirement is to have a pdf report anyway, so we just manually hide the empty pages so they're not exported to the pdf, and we also therefore don't have the problem with filters.

     

    Sorry can't be of more help!
