Chart with a embedded in a list object that does not have the same dataset as the list
I am trying to do a report that shows a small Depth vs Days chart embedded in a list that shows the current status of all the drilling rigs for an oil company. So if a company has 10 drilling rigs running on a given day, I want 10 records to be reported within the list. However, I want a chart that shows the Days Drilling vs Depth drilled for each of those 10 records. The depths are stored in daily records as the following sample:
WellName Date Day Depth DailyCost CumCost Other Fields.....
Well #1 1/1/08 1 0 $50,000 $50,000
Well #1 1/2/08 2 1200 $125,000 $175,000
Well #1 1/3/08 3 2500 $80,000 $255,000
Well #2 1/2/08 1 800 $60,000 $60,000
Well #2 1/3/08 2 1950 $80,000 $140,000
In the report for Jan 3rd I only want to see
WellName Date Day Depth DailyCost CumCost Other Fields.....
Well #1 1/3/08 3 2500 $80,000 $255,000
Well #2 1/3/08 2 1950 $80,000 $140,000
But for each well I want to see a small chart next to each well showing the Days vs Depth that includes then entire history of each drilling project.
The report would have a parameter that asks for the date they would like to view (defaulting to today). So the dataset for the list would need to have a different dataset from the chart but they are from the same table. When I assign the Chart a different dataset, I get an error that states:
"The Group expression for the grouping chart1_CategoryGroup1 refers to the field Day. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current data set scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified data set scope."
I am sure that this is referring to the fact that the chart is not using the same dataset as the list that the chart was place into.
