Hi,

I've created 2 data set one for Live_WorkItem_Cnt and another one for Work_item_extra_data table. I need to display the list of workitems with their description.

I fetch the live_workitem_cnt data set and create a table from it in the report editor. How can I then add the description from the other Work_item_extra_data table? I don't know how to bind the Work_item_extra_data parameter to the work item ID for that particular table row.

Also how could I display the workitems' ranking?

Any sample or guidance is much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello,
Now you have 2 data-sets - create a joint state mentioning ID as the unique key column from both and then taking the other required columns...then use this new data -set for the table.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply -

Yes that's a possibility but it is very slow - Is there any other way of doing it without having to resort to a join?

Thanks,

Another simple option if you want to avoid joining all the tables your self if to use the results of a query as your data set.

[edit] Forgot that the query results only return the limited set of fields. Quickly tried out the join method and using an inner join that is terribly slow. I also tried just doing a simple sub-query and that returned surprisingly quickly, so that is worth a shot.
