-
You define some expressions that contain a Lookup function for the row header cell property of the column groups.

You export the report to a PDF format file.
In this scenario, the PDF format report displays incorrect data in the row header cells.Note This issue occurs in the following situations:
-
You use hard page-break renderers, such as TIFF or PDF.
