| As far as I know, SSRS does not support dynamic values for field identifiers. If the palletnum's are a known set, you could use a SWITCH expression. That is the best I can think of.Another option would be to modify your underlying SQL query to return the data in the correct form in a single column - i.e., wght1 for pallenum = 1, wght2 for pallentnum=2 and so on. |

| you can always make a parameter say XValue and map it to a dataset which returns palletNum values (1,2,3..). then you can simply use=Fields("wght" & Cstr(Parameters!XValue.Value)).Valuein the expressions------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |
