    Hi,

    If I want to use the Exec function in a table- or list row (outside group) to access data in context of a different scope (Report2, which is the name of the report item),
    i get an error that the scope does not exist (see attachment).

    My expression is in this format: [= Exec("Report2", Sum(Fields.theFieldName))]

    Shouldn't this be possible, or am I wrong?

    Thanks,

    Casper

    Hello Casper,

    Please check Expressions Scope. The report and Table items are data items, and they define separate data scopes not accessible to each other.
    The Exec function can be used in the current scope e.g. the report where the set scope is the report, or in a section where the set scope is the section, parent section or the report; but not in a Table item if the set scope of the function is the report or the container section, nor if the expression is used in a report section but the set scope is of a nested Table item.
