Parent Expression

I have created a Report that has many Datasets and they each link to an individual table in the Report. I need the tables to only show the Data that relates to a Parent field on the Report.

E.G.

John Smith (parent)
Tasks 3
Task1
Task2
Task3
Appointments 10
... etc

Joe Bloggs (parent field)
Tasks 2
Task1
Task2
Appointments 5
... etc

I dont know how to make all the Datasets for the individual tables look at the name field. I can only do this if I use one Dataset or use a Parameter. I have tried using Lists but they dont seem to do what I need to do.

Thanks

What you are describing is a cross-dataset join. This is not natively supported in Reporting Services. You will either need to do the join in your query or use subreports (which are less efficient).
