Remarks

A DataRegion is a report layout element bound to a report dataset identified by DataSetName. When a report runs, the data region displays data from the report dataset. A Tablix Element (RDL) expands horizontally and vertically across the page as needed to display data in the tablix row groups, column groups, and static and dynamic rows and columns. A Chart Element (RDL) expands horizontally and vertically across the page to display data in the chart category groups, series groups, and value group.

When the query associated with the report dataset for this data region returns no data, the NoRowsMessage appears in place of the data region.

Filters defined for a data region are applied during report processing after report dataset filter and sort expressions are applied, and before any data region group, filter, or sort expressions are applied.
