Defining custom column groups on a matrix report in report builder

I have table called Buildings which has market and sq. ft information.
I want to create a matrix report that has the market as the row group and
sq. ft ranges as the column group and shows the # of buildings in each
market that fall in the sq. ft ranges.
Sq. ft ranges are 0-5000, 5001-10000 etc...
My questions is a) is this something that can be done using report builder
b) how do i define the sq. ft ranges
c) how do I find the count of buildings whose sq. footage falls within the
range.

A) Yes
B) In your Datasets window, right-click on the name of the dataset and
Add a new field. Call it "Sq Foot Range" and make it a calculated
field. Use an expression like
= Fields!SqFoot.Value - Fields!SqFoot.Value Mod 5000
Since you are shifting your range to include the evenly divided number
in the lower group, you really want
= CStr( ( (X-1) - (X-1) Mod 5000 ) + 1 ) & " to " & CStr( ( (X-1) -
(X-1) Mod 5000 ) + 5000 )
C) Create a Matrix with a Market in the Row Group, Sq Foot Range in
the Column Group, and Count( Fields!SqFoot.Value ) in the Details.
Hope that helps.

Default report layout in Report Builder

Hello,
Is it possible to change the default report layout which is used when you
start a new report in Report Builder?
I want e.g. always a logo, datetime and pagenumber in the header or footer.
Regards,
JaapHello Jaap,
Unfortunately, the Report Builder did not have a page header or page footer.
You need to put the Logo in the Title.
