Hierarchical Band filtering
Posted: Sat Aug 09, 2008 8:36 pm
Hi,
if you take this hierarchy:
>Fuller Vice President, Sales
>> Buchanan Sales Manager
>>> Dodsworth Sales Representative
>>> King Sales Representative
>>> Suyama Sales Representative
>> Callahan Inside Sales Coordinator
they are two different ways to filter it. Row by row and hierarchically.
Currently Reports.NET does row by row that means if I filter to "Does not Contain("Manager")"
>> Buchanan Sales Manager
will be removed from the result set.
Another way is hierarchically which is a lot more interesting "Does not Contain("Manager")" and children would remove
>> Buchanan Sales Manager
>>> Dodsworth Sales Representative
>>> King Sales Representative
>>> Suyama Sales Representative
so that we would be left with:
>Fuller Vice President, Sales
>> Callahan Inside Sales Coordinator
I feel this would be a very helpful tool to make the hierarchical band better.
Thanks for considering it,
Patrick
