How to retrieve specific Row Elements [message #875803]

Hi, I currently have a report that contains a number of charts display the rise and fall of a projects Test Build (Total Tests, Failed Tests,Passed Tests).

I want to create then a dynamic text which will tell the user whether there has been an increase in Test Failures/Passes in the last day.

The problem I have though is retrieving data from the rows to be able to do this.

Basically I want to know is there any sort of function that allows me to get the last two elements of a given row.

( eg row["Passing"].getRowData.getColumnData(row["Passing"].size))

Can you clarify a bit. Do you want previous row values or current row
values but different columns. On a table detail rows' oncreate you can
access any column value

this.getRowData().getColumnValue("bindingname"); //look at the table
bindings in the property editor to see available bindings. You can also
store previous values in script and reference them later or if all the
data is in one data set use a an aggregate function in an aggregation
element.

Hi,

I know this is an extremely old post but I have the same question. I would like to be able access specific row level data. Is there a way to accomplish this using code like the example given in the original post?
