    I am looking at displaying my data like a marquee text or a stock ticker.

    You are looking for a scrolling marquee.

    Keep in mind, a SSRS Report is static text and needs to be refreshed to display new values.

    You will need to incorporate HTML to get the scrolling effect, if possible.

    Yes.. I am refreshing the report at a particular frequency. But wanted to implement the marquee feeling for a text. Let me try and will update you..

    Thanks for the fast response. 🙂

    Could you enlighten me on the added value of such a ticker to your report?

    In the nineties all websites were flooded with those horrible flashing text boxes since it was cool. I don't think it is anymore.

    This is not for having a flashy website. I have a report displayed on large LCD monitor and the report is already filled up with other data. I only have the top space to display the functionality. So I assumed the best option would be a marquee/ ticker sort of feeling for the text.
