Filter Data

The topics in this section describe different approaches to filtering data in your reports:

• Filter Data at the Report Level

  Use the report's settings demonstrated in this tutorial if you want to load the entire dataset and filter it on the client.

• Filter Data at the Data Source Level

  Filter records at data source level using your data connection query if you are binding to a large data source and want to speed up the retrieval process.

• Limit the Number of Records to Display

  Options described in this topic allow you to emulate the Top N feature in a sorted report or increase the Print Preview performance by rendering only a subset of a report’s data.
