Is there a way to display balloon tooltips in crystal reports or SSRS

Question

Hi, I have a report to build that has many different fields showing various results. As these numbers are not intuitive, I need some sort of mechanism to display a balloon tooltip when the user hovers over or clicks on a number.

I am open to either Crystal reports or SSRS. I will just be limited to the free editions that come with visual studio 2008.

Any help or advice is appreciated

Answer 1

In SSRS, most controls have ToolTips

For example, the textbox properties tab

Answer 2

Crystal Reports also supports tool-tip text. Right click the field, select Format Field..., then the Common tab. Enter a static value in the 'tool tip text' field or click the button to the right of the field and enter a conditional formula that will calculate the value.
