Hi there ,
I'm facing a problem creating a report using BIRT . I want to write expression that checks for the next cell in a row are within two cells in the current row. For example , I want if to check the join time of the next row are within the the join time and the left time cells of the current row. how to do that in BIRT ?

I'm not sure I'm understanding the question. Do you think you could explain a bit more? Thanks.

when you design a report in BIRT , you fill the data row by row , every row doesn't see the previous or the next row to it . my report has some data that must be retrieved by comparing the rows each other . after all I've managed to do it using a scripted data source which is a java class that connects to the database , manipulates the data and pass it to the report. I don't know if there's another way to do it or not.

That's probably your best option. You could connect with a BIRT data set, loop through that data, store it in arrays, then manipulate it in a scripted data set, but this would just be adding extra steps to what you've already done, from what it sounds like.
