6.3 Binding Data to a Text Element

You can bind a Text/Textbox element to one of the following data sources:

Query

Data Worksheet

Report parameter

In general, the Text element displays a single aggregate value. If the Text element is bound to a query or a Data Worksheet, the result set is converted to a single string value using the following rules:

If the result is a table, the value in the first column on the first row is converted to a string and used as the contents of the Text element.

Otherwise, the tree is searched to find the first non-null value on the tree branch. The search is conducted on the first branch of each sub-tree until a value is found.
