Using multiple datatables in a report

[Tas]

I know this question has been asked before, but I have not found a conclusive answer.

My scenario is as follows:

I am building a daily report which contains data from a number of different sources. I wrap it all up in to 1 Dataset, which contains multiple tables. These tables are not related in anyway, so it's not a hierarchical scenario.

So is it possible for me to assign this dataset to the report, and have the 1 report use fields from each of these tables? Or would I be right in assuming that I can only use 1 datatable per report?

Thanks, Tas

Hi Tas,

You can use only one datatable per report. If you need to show data from more than one, you can use the table/crosstab/list report items or a subreport item that of course holds a second report bound to a different datatable.

Hello,
Do you have an example of this? I have more or less the same scenario. I have multiples datatables (many, depending on the user click selection) and a I need to create N tables in a Telerik Report.

Hi Victor,

Please check the details posted in the Getting Duplicte Pie Charts from a single DataSource forum thread (check the second part regarding data binding).


I hope the above information is helpful.
