New options required in RS

Hi. Hope this reaches the RS development team.
I would like to know if in the new releases of RS there will be
expressions as there are in the DTS visual studio.
For example in the fields of width, height..at the moment we have to
put a fixed width and height whereas we could use the expressions.
Sometimes customers request double spacing instead of single space btw
records.
In addition to that, i need extra options in the matrix such as:
the ability to add fields to the right of the matrix column, (static
fields) that are not related to the matrix's expansion. The result
would be the possibility of having static columns at the left and right
of the matrix...what an improvement it would be.
Also, right now we are unable to add headers to the fields preceeding
the matrix column. This would be a of great help in explaining the
content of these fields. Right now i'm creating labels and placing them
on top of the matrix but it's not legitimate in a way when i export to
excel they are misplaced.
Thanks
Christinato add to this Allow the Duplicate Data in the Group Field so it can be
exported to excel and sorted :)

New Features for Charts??

Hi, I was wondering if there will be any new features for the chart control
in future releases reporting services.
At the moment it seems possible only to produce fairly simple charts. I
would like to produce composite charts similar to excel.
Does anyone knowOn Mon, 15 Nov 2004 01:42:01 -0800, "James"

James,
Charting is key to creating informative reports.
I feel sure that Microsoft will be looking to add more charting
capabilities to Reporting Services at some point in the future.
As far as I am aware no public announcement has yet been made about
possible future functionality in that respect.
