Take a look at the attached example. Be sure to change the location of
the csv file.

first thanks for all the help :) the support has been great in here.
I've got the matrix and some sub reports working but now I need to get
more fancy.
in my datasets I'm trying to prevent redundant information in my
datasets but running into problems as a consequence when I go to ceate
reports.
Heres my problem.
I have a crosstab report that uses a data set that looks like and
basically is a UID mapping between two unique elements.
UID1 UID2 result
-----------------------
a a yes
a b no
a c no
b a yes
b b no
b c yes
c a no
c b yes
c c yes
additionally, I have another data set that that gives friendly
information about each UID.
e_Uid friendly other information more info even more info
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
a a_element this is element 'a' more a info even
more a info
b b_element this is a element 'b' more b info even
more b info
c c_element this is a element 'c' more c info even
more c info
what I want to do is.....
I want to show a parameter dialog that allows multi-select on a list
a_element
b_element
c_element
....
From this say the user selects a couple items in the list like
a_element b_element, I want to then produce a matrix (Crosstab report)
that reflects what the user selected to report on.
a_friendly b_friendly
a_friendly yes no
b_friendly no yes
This requires that I can map from the "friendly name" (dataset 2) to a
UID, and then from that use this to restrict the data the cross tab
iterates over so the custom matrix is created.
Beyond doing a multi join (because UID1 and UID2) and producing a
messy large dataset, is there another way to cleanly do this?
Thanks for all the help, and I'll keep kicking this around...

Manny,
Could you produce a report that uses either flat files or scripted data
source that gets a sample of your data(or fake data) that we can use to
help you. I am not 100% how the friendly table plays in the equation.
