Are you just looking for the page number? I.e. Page 1 of 10 tgo be printed somewhere on the page? This can be done using the Globals Collection... Drag a text box wherever you want that information to be displayed... The header and/or Footer are the only places this will work

Then all you need to do is use =Globals!PageNumber & " of " & Globals!TotalPages

Luke,

I know how to use page number, but I need print out the serial number on "Body".

for example; I print out the pallet pager and this pallet paper include 1 of 10, 2 of 10 ...in Body area.

Thanks:-)

ok, are the numbers 1,2,3 etc references in your dataset? If so, you already have half of the data you need. Then you could look at the rowcount function for the number of rows in the current scope, if that won't work due to grouping aggregations etc, you could also look at the countdistinct function.

The syntax might not be 100% correct here but it would look something like:

=fields!serialNo.value & " of " & rowcount

OR

=fields!serialNo.value & " of " & countdistinct(fields!serialNo)

Or if you don't have the serial Number as part of the dataset, you could add a column which will bring back the number 1 in an extra column. Then you could use the runningvalues and count functions to get your x of n.

perhaps I'm not understanding. Are you just trying to generate a report with 1 of 10 and nothing else on the page? There's no data to drive the operation, nothing else to include on it? OR am I again misinterpreting what you are trying to do? Perhaps you could give me some sample data or a screenshot of what you report looks like now and what you want it to look like?

Luke,

Appreciate your reply, from attached file, you will find our the pallet paper has dispaly total are 7 pallet. but I hope you can let me know

how to print out 7 page from "Pallets : 1 of 7" , "Pallet : 2 of 7" to "Pallet 7 of 7". now I print out this page and let employee copy to 7 sheet and wrote 1 ~ 7 for this 7 sheet. on attached #2, you can see every product has 1 record for this sales order.

Thanks

OK so on your pallet paper report how do you figure out that there will be x of 7 pallets?

Really the only way to do this would be to create a group that breaks after the group and has a running aggregate to do the x.

If you need some example code, I'd need a bit of sample data.
