Hi everybody ?

It's possible to make à private commentary in a new data value ??

' do to this , i need that '

Just for remember how i did something.

In VBA, it's simply '

Thanks for your help

Why would you want this in a data item? Add a block , add a text object and then use a render variable to hide the comment. You can add blocks literally everywhere when you 'unlock' the report

Yes, it's better to create a seperate Text Item in which you can keep the history too.

That being said, it is technically possible to put a comment in the Data Item too. I tried the method I
use in Framework Manager and it works.

Use #/*  and then type any comment and end it with */#

Here is a live example. When I open the data item, it looks like this:

[Presentation Layer].[Customer].[Customer Division]

#/*   Hi   */#


When I run the report, it displays the Customer Division values and does not give any error
