Indicates whether the current instance of an item is in the specified scope.
Syntax
InScope(scope)
Parameters
- scope
(String) The name of a dataset, data region, or group that specifies a scope. For more information about the scope parameter, see Using Built-in Report and Aggregate Functions in Expressions (Reporting Services) and Calculating Totals and Other Aggregates (Reporting Services).
Return Type
Returns a Boolean.
Remarks
The InScope function tests the scope of the current instance of a report item for membership in the scope specified by the scopeparameter.
Scope cannot be an expression.
A typical use for the InScope function is in data regions that have dynamic scoping. For example, InScope can be used in a drillthrough link in a data region cells to provide a different report name and different sets of parameters depending on which cell is clicked. An example of this is as follows:
The following expression, used as the report name in a drillthrough link, opens the ProductDetail report if the clicked cell is in the Month group, and the ProductSummary report if it is not.
=Iif(InScope("Month"), "ProductDetail", "ProductSummary")The following expression, used in the Omit property of a drillthrough report parameter, will pass the parameter to the target report only if the clicked cell is in the Product group.
=Not(InScope("Product"))
Example
The following code example indicates whether the current instance of the item is in the Product dataset, data region, or group scope.
=InScope("Product")
