Hi,

I have a variable populated by data columns I am able to retrieve the Key but also need to retrieve the text(value).

Is this possible?

Thank you

No problem.

I have created a variable which is populated by a data source.

On the preview screen the variable generates a dropdown list

When the user selects an item in the dropdown I would like to return the text of the selected value as well as the key. (i.e. when "Test" is selected in screenshot above return key = 2 AND text = "Test". This is so I can display the selected value on the report as in the example below.

Hello.

It's impossible to get value from variable but you could get it using variable. If you set the filter of band to Sites.SiteId = SiteId then you get the Name.

Thank you.
