I want to GROUP my report based on a parameter selected by the user. I am able to drop the current group in BeforeFactory, however how can I pass the parameter selected by the user to update the value the data will be grouped by.

For example I will provide a parameter with the Values "AREA" and "SALESMAN". Depending on what's selected I would like the report to group by the selected data.

Thanks in advance
Paul

Have you tried just using the expression builder, for the group field to change the grouping based on the parameter? Then, you could do something similar in a dynamic text for the group header.

Ah. Well, let me know if you run into issues. If you give me your BIRT version, I can make an example.

Thanks. Version Number 2.5.2 Bit behind but our ERP supplier prefers this version for compatibility reasons.

Hopefully we will be able to upgrade when we install the next major release.

Thanks
Paul

Take a look at this example. Look at the expression for the grouping on the table. Also, look at the expression in the text box in the group header.
