Show "Page x of y" in RDLC sales invoice report

northerner

Is it possible to show a count of the number of pages on a sales invoice, e.g. "page 1 of 2"? There is functionality in the report to reset the page number for each new invoice or invoice copy, but I can't see a way of getting the page count correct for the group. For example, on a 2 page invoice with an extra copy, the numbering would show as "1 of 4", "2 of 4", "1 of 4", "2 of 4" - but what the customer wants to see is "1 of 2", "2 of 2", "1 of 2", "2 of 2".

Many thanks for any help!

I wonder if it's possible to run a report (just for a copy) and store somewhere in NAV the value of "TotalPages" global variable that is in RDLC design...

Yes, I wonder the same, but have no idea if it's possible

Works for multiple copies of an invoice, but not multiple (different) invoices (unless you do something else to separate these to print 1 by 1)

@aseigle - thanks, but that would give "1 of 4", "2 of 4", "1 of 4", "2 of 4" which I need to avoid.

@piedmont - you're right, that would work so long as the report is restricted to one invoice - it's not the neatest of solutions but it looks like the best that's possible. Thank you :thumbsup:

"Page x of y" is not solved properly before we get RDLC 2010. Read my blog post here: http://mibuso.com/blogs/clausl/2012/08/08/rdl-vs-rdlc-versions-and-dynamics-nav/ and pay attention to this link: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/robertbruckner/archive/2010/04/25/report-design-reset-page-number-on-group.aspx
As I have said in previos posts here at Mibuso. I will buy the person how solves this problem in RDLC 2005 or RDLC 2008 a nice dinner.
If this was simple to do, it would have been implemented in report 206, but it is not.
