A note to anyone using the hierarchical databand; I didn't realize from the demo that the band only works if the "Parent Value" is set to the Id of the parent item (in the demo, the Parent Value is empty, but the Id of the parent entry is null, so that's why it works). :brick:
While playing around however, I found some odd behaviour for the band (possibly a bug?). For example, using the Demo report "Tree", if you put drag the Employee datasource above the HeirarchicalBand1 (making a regular databand), then the Heirarchical band will print it's contents flat, regardless of the Parent Value. You can disable the regular databand, and it still has this effect.

Using Hierarchical Databand / possible bug
Hello Chris,
Thank you.
Its true. We have used Employees table for this report. In this table parent key is null.A note to anyone using the hierarchical databand; I didn't realize from the demo that the band only works if the "Parent Value" is set to the Id of the parent item (in the demo, the Parent Value is empty, but the Id of the parent entry is null, so that's why it works). :brick:
Problem fixed. Patch will be available in build from 24 May.While playing around however, I found some odd behaviour for the band (possibly a bug?).

Thank you.
