| I am attempting to create an "activity" type report; number of records created by type of record for a time frame. The dataset returns the correct values but I cannot determine how to reference the various return values when plugging them into the page layout on the report. For example: Select salestype,count(*) from x where y group by salestype gives me a table that has the sales type value and the number of records counted for each type.When I go to page layout and create a text box and use "expression" I only see SUM(!fields.salestype,....) I don't see any way to reference the returned value for any of the counts associated with a specific salestype. I want to be able to display the various counts by sales type that came back in the dataset.Any hints or examples? |

I think count(*) AS ALIAS_NAME_FOR_COUNTER_HERE should help.
No, you're never too old to Yak'n'Roll if you're too young to die. |
