How to bind data set for dynamic text

I wan to use the row data of data set for dynamic text.
My step is:
1. define data source and data set.
2. insert dynamic text into design report.
3. use Value of to get data from data set

result: I can not find any binding for my define data set.
So would you like to tell me how to bind data set to dynamic text?

Hi,

1) By default there won't be any binding for the dynamic text. First you keep the dynamic text and close the Expression Builder.
Then go to the property editor of the dynamic text, go to the 'Binding' tab and in the
Data Set select the dataset you want to bind.
Then double click the dynamic text and in the Expression Builder you can see the
'Available Column Bindings' corresponds to the dataset. You can select the value you want to display.

2) If you are using the text and using 'value of' also do the binding for the text field and then click on the 'value of' you will get
Expression Builder similar to above.

Hope this will help you. Reply if it works for you.

Thanks & Regards

Lekshmi,
Thank you for your reply, but I can not find the "Binding" Tab in my dynamic text property wizard.

My dynamic text propertiy has tabs:
1.general,
2.Expression,
3.Padding,
4.Border,
5.Margin,
6.Page break,
7.Visibility,
8.Table of contents,
9.Book mark,
10.Comments.
11.User Properties,
12.Named Expressions,
13.Event Handler,
14.Advanced.

Do you mean which one? All I have tried,but I could not find the binding tab.
