clausl: Orphan static rows in Visual Studio 2010

[Blog bot]

After my previous blog about all new Report features in NAV 2013 R2, Natalie Karolak, MVP for Dynamics NAV encourage me to blog a little more about orphan static rows in Visual Studio 2010. If your German is perfect you can just read Natalie’s blog post about this issue here: http://www.msdynamics.de/viewtopic.php?p=92761#p92761. For those of you who do not speak german read on.

If you create several groups in Visual Studio 2010 and activate the Advanced button you see all the static row in your tablix. So in this example I have done 2 groups which looks like this:



Noticed that if I now change my mind and decide to delete Group1 and decide only to delete the group



My report now looks like this:



Notice that I now have a Static row in my Row groups which does not exist in the Tablix. Also notice that the details and the Static rows around this are not indented.
Having this orphan static row, will only create problems for you so want to fix this, but this not possible from the UI. So you have several options:

Option 1: Do not delete the group 1, before upgrading to NAV 2013 R2 and Visual Studio 2012, where this issue has been fixed.

Option 2: Create Tablix from scratch.

Option 3: Fix this in the XML editor in Visual Studio or Notepad.
You need to look for this in the editor and delete these rows:



Now your report looks like this and we have now completely deleted Group1:
