Dynamic hyperlink not via drill down? [message #549812]

Hi all,

Unfortunately I'm completely new to Eclipse let alone BIRT. So what I am asking may be kind of trivial to you all. My apologies in advance if this is the case, I tried searching on BIRT Exchange and on these forums as well as my old friend Google, and could not find the exact answer I am looking for.

What I want is to format the data bind in a table column to be a hyperlink. However based on what the data is the hyperlink is generated.

Eg
rowdata = 12345
generated hyperlink = http://12345.com

EDIT: Forgot to mention, it's not another report I'm trying to link to, they are external sites.

I know this is possible but because of my limited knowledge of BIRT and it's inherit functions, I'm stumped. Embarrassed

Again I apologise if this is an extremly simple question!

You could replace the data item in the table with a text element and
enter an expression like:

<a href=<VALUE-OF>"http://"+row["ORDERNUMBER"]+".com"</VALUE-OF >
><VALUE-OF>"http://"+row["ORDERNUMBER"]</VALUE-OF></a>

Obviously you can use the hyperlink property for the data item as well,
but I assumed you did not want to use it. Attached is a sample report.
The first column uses the hyperlink property the second uses the
expression above.
