Across then Down Mode
Change the Column Direction property to Across Then Down. Across then Down mode is used to render strings from left to right, across columns, on the Data Band. When all of the columns on the Data Band have been generated, a new Data Band will be formed and again, fill the columns across the page before going on to the next Data Row. The data takes up as much space in the report as is necessary. See Figure 02 for a visual representation. Note the number sequence.

There is no limit to the number of columns in a report.

Across then Down mode can be confusing to read. Down then Across mode is often easier to read. In this mode, the data populates down the first column before it moves on to the next column. Figure 04 features a visual representation. Note the number sequence.
