how do I write an expression for binding that meets this criteria? [message #1110957]

I'm wondering if there's a way to write an expression for the binding of my data element that works like this SQL query:

select [FIELD_DATA] where [FIELD_NAME] = "blah"

That is to say, I don't want the cell in my grid to be filled simply by iterating through the dataset and, for every row, grabbing the data under a specific column. I only want it to grab the data from that row, under that column, in the dataset if it meets the condition that some neighboring cell (call it "FIELD_NAME") equals some specific value.

Can I do this?
