I have a report that displays the number of calls per customer service rep by department.

The SQL is:
Select Dept, EmpName, YYMM, 'Counter' AS 'Counter' Where (Date >= @StartDate) and (Date < @EndDate +1) and (Dept IN (@Dept))

The Column is YYMM and the Rows are Dept and EmpName. The Detail is Counter and is defined as =Count(Fields!Counter.Value)
The user also selects the Department from a stored procedure list (with multi-select) and the date range.

What the users are looking for is the Dept field to repeat on every row (like a tabular) because some departments are large and span multiple pages.

I have the group check box checked to keep header rows when scrolling but that does not help when printing or exporting to excel which are the 2 most common options used.

I much prefer the Matrix report option because some managers measure and report on yearly, some only 6 months and some only for last 2 months. It would save me the evils of trying to code this as Tabular.

Your help is greatly appreciated - John
