To add Page Numbers in page footers : Navigate menu Report Page Footer. This adds the Footer area in the layout. Drag and drop a text box in the footer and set Expression: =Page : & Globals!PageNumber . (To do this, set
the Value property of the text box).

Right-click the column heading for the year column. Right-click for Properties and select Interactive Sort. Select Add an interactive sort action to this text box. Specify the sort expressions as =Fields![Link].

Preview the report. Check that the effect of GroupHeader is not visible. Check the effect of

Interactive sort.

ADDITIONAL:

Add conditional format Set Expression in Font Property of Quantity Sold Textbox using expression like this:
=iif(Fields!ID_Quantity_Sold_.Value < 300, "Red", "Black")

Add Item Name to table group header and remove it from the Details. This will ensure that Item name is displayed only once as Group Header.
