Hi Guys,

I have a table with 2 columns and I need a different filter for each column. The reason for this is because in the table I am displaying field 'test' in column one but it is displaying information based on the filter. In column 2 I am also trying to display information based on field 'test' but with a different filter.

This does not work as the 'test' field will not know which column to display the different filter information so it displays the same information on both columns.

I was just wondering if there is a way round this problem?

Thanks.

I'm not clear on what your issue is. Could you post a data example?

Hi tkizer,

Sorry my explaination was not clear, below is some example database data I would use. I need to create a table in reporting services that will display 'answer1' in the first column so it should appear twice based on the data being filtered. So I filter the table using the 'filter2' database column and the value of 'ON'.

Also in the report table I need to have another column displaying the corresponding 'answer2' information so now I filter the table using the 'filter1' database column and the value of 'ON'.

In the report designer the value put it both columns of the table will be 'test' but I need to filters to get the two different results.

How would I go about doing this?

If this is still unclear please let me know.
Thanks.

is this what you want?
yourtable
col1expression
=IIF(Parameters!Filter2.Value="ON",Fields!Test.Value,"")

col2Expression

=IIF(Parameters!Filter1.Value="ON",Fields!Test.Value,"")
