I have a dataset that is created by a Stored Procedure that is
cumulative of all values that I need to report against. The problem is
that I need DISTINCT results of certain columns. To do it within the
sproc would take a prohibitively long time and it would be ideal if I
could do it within the table object on the layout tab. I have played
around with the filtering capabilities in the table properties, but
they are very limited. Is there any way I can produce a DISTINCT list
within the results of a dataset?
Thanks in advance for any help or guidance.
...ChrisMy suggestion is to have your result in the stored procedure to be put into
a temp table. Have an extra field to store the distinct results and then
update the field with the distinct values. I guarantee you this will be
faster than anything RS can do (plus I don't know how to do what you want in
RS).
