After a lot of swearing I decided to make this post, dynamic column names in SSRS 2005, to help the internet and give back to the huddled masses who still have to support this old reporting services instance from 2005. In this version, as all of my dead-end googling revealed, there is no way to dynamically or ordinal-positionally set the column names in your reports — which is insane! I mean, what year were Microsoft in, in 2005?
Anway, like I said, after a lot of swearing, I came up with a creative way to achieve dynamic column names in SSRS 2005 and this post will share how you can implement the same solution.
Don’t even get me started on dynamic data sources…
