Add space between matrix row group

I have a 2 row groups in a matrix and I need to add some space between the top one so that all the columns don't run together. Is there a way to do this?

Click on the row that you want to add the space below, go to the properties window and increase your 'Height' value. Also, make sure that the 'VerticalAlign' field is set to 'Top'. This will add empty space between that row and the one directly below it.

Hope this helps.

|||I guess I wasn't clear. I dont need space between the rows, but between the last column in a row group and the first column in the next row group. Does that make sense?|||

Click on the last column in the matrix, and in the properties window, increase the Padding-Right value. You might want to increase the Width of that column to handle the additional padding. Does this do what you are trying to accomplish?

Hope this helps.

No, padding won't help. Here's my layout. I need more space between the subject areas.

|||That's what it currently looks like. How do you want it to look?|||

So, you are wanting something like a 'spacer' column? What if you add another blank column to you report? Right click your textbox below the 'Advanced' column and select 'Add Column', then just leave it blank.

See the space I've added between ELA and Math sections? Thats what I want.

|||That adds a second column of data that will repeat. So instead of one column under advanced I have two.|||Would you still want the tables to appear horizontally next to each other? Have you considered placing the matrix in a list control and adding a groupping by subject? This would effectively give you a matrix per subject but they would be layed out vertically.|||I have to lay them out horizontally bc of how many rows there are. If I do it vertically the report gets too long to read.|||Does anybody have a clue how to do this? It seems like it'd be so simple...
