DataSet Parameter Bindings for Crosstabs

GalenBoyer

Hi,

Is there a way to have a crosstab be restricted with something similar to "Dataset Parameter Bindings"? I read a reply by Jason that said use filtering, but the posting was an incomplete .rptdesign file, so I couldn't gleam how to do it.

Thanks.

Hi GalenBoyer, 
 
You'll need to use a filter to limit the data in an embedded crosstab. To set this filter, you'd select the crosstab, go to the property editor's filter section, and set a filter on the group you'd like to filter down to equal to the value in the outer table that you want it set as. You could make an enhancement request for a feature more like the dataSet parameter binding feature for tables, to be made available for a crosstab. It would be a nice feature to have. You can do that here:
