A – exaple for this is https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/2106/conditional-report-rendering-based-on-render-formats-for-ssrs-reports/

Option has stupid name “show or hide” !!! If the expression evaluates to true, the element will be hidden.

we want to hide if is interactive and show if isn’t interactive

Ralph

Ralph

PDF => IsInteractive equals false
NOT(IsInteractive) = NOT (false) = true
true means value will be hidden – so the answer is “C” !!!

In When the report is initially run, select Show or hide based on an expression. Set the
expression to =NOT (GlobalslRenderFormat.IsInteractive).

+1. It´s C

Andres

Sorry. I meant “A” is the correct answer.

• Users must be able to view the report by using a web browser. By default,
subcategories and product details must be hidden when using the browser.
• Users must be able to subscribe to receive the report by email. The report must be sent by email as a PDF attachment.

Therefore, with option C users will still NOT see the product detailed data when getting the reports by mail in PDF format. They will see it on the browser; which is the opposite of what it´s being asked in Sales reports requirements.
