I'm using BIRT 2.3.2 and I have problems following the 2nd Tutorial
within its 6th Task. I simply don't know, why do create a New Data
Binding instead of using a group entry, as in Task 5. Because I'm an
absoulte beginner (as you might have guessed, when I'm stuck on the 2nd
Tutorial) I have no idea why this step not working, at all.

By the way, the online eclipse help of BIRT is NOT working, so I can't
link to the task directly.

Eclipse Help:
"BIRT Report Developer Guide" > "Field Guide to BIRT" > "Sorting and
Grouping Data" > "Tutorial 2: Grouping report data" > "Task 6: Display
credit limit ranges in the group header"

thanks

Stefan,

I had to go through the example to understand what you were asking...

The difference is that in task 5, you are only displaying the first
entry in the range in the groups column header. In task 6, you are
basically adding a table level column that is using a Javascript
expression to display the range in a data element and replacing the
original column header. Task 6 is dependent on Task 5, without it, the
Grouping functionality wouldn't be there, but you arent changing the
grouping. All your doing in Task 6 is modifying a header for easier
navigation. You can probably double click on the same data element
instead of deleting it and modify the Javascript expression. Its just
showing you another way of getting around in the BIRT report designer.
