Answer / cognosvij

Specify a variable based on which object can be
conditionally rendered.

e.g.
In my sample report .....
I have a Prompt page and it contains a value prompt for
revenue type i.e.X revenue and Y revenue
I have put static choices in that value prompt as X and Y .

now on report page there ,
I have a list contains ....
Client Id
X revenue
Y revenue

as a user run the report ,
if he selects X the list should displays
Client ID
X revenue

and
if user selects Y list should dispalys
Client ID
Y Revenue


for this i have created a string varibale with the values X
and Y and put the condition as....

if (ParamDisplayValue('Parameter1')='X')
then
('X')
else
('Y')

and then go to the report page select the X revenue column
and click render variable property from property sheet and
uncheck the check box for Y

and again
go to the report page select the Y revenue column and
click render variable property from property sheet and
uncheck the check box for X

and now run the report and see how Render variable is
working .....



Hope it will help u

thnx,
