Question

I have two columns in a dataset LABELSTRING and FIELDVALUE namely. The sample values are as follow.

LABELSTRING FIELDVALUE
--          -- 
FIRSTNAME   ALEX
LASTNAME    FERGIE
CITY        MANCHESTER

Now I need to get the values of FIRSTNAME , LASTNAME & CITY in my report and present them in a text box. Is there any way I can do it. I am pretty new to this stuff.

Thanks

One option is to change your dataset query so that FIRSTNAME, LASTNAME, and CITY are the names of the columns and there is 1 row returned with the values. Then in a textbox you could use a formula like this:

=First(Parameters!FIRSTNAME.Value, "DataSet1") + " " + First(Parameters!LASTNAME.Value, "DataSet1") + " " + First(Parameters!CITY .Value, "DataSet1")

Another option is to keep the existing dataset and use calculated fields to get the values you need. This method is a little more messy, but can be useful in more complex situations. First you add a calculated field using an expression like this:

=iif(Fields!LABELSTRING.Value = "FIRSTNAME", Fields!FIELDVALUE.Value, Nothing)

Then, in the textbox you can refer to them like this:

=Max(Parameters!CALCULATED_FIRSTNAME.Value, "DataSet1")
