Data Tab Control + extra tab

Is there any way to add an extra manual tab onto a Data Tab Control?

I have a Data Tab control that put on the Departments.
I want to add an extra Tab for a Summary page.

I'm thinking that I'm going to have to do manual Tabs for everything but just thought I'd check if there's a way.

I'm coming off a cube, so trying to fabricate an extra row of data in the query isn't a good option I don't think.

Hi,

Does the hierarchy have an "All Departments" member at the top of the tree? If so, create a set comprising the All Departments member and the Department level members, and use this to drive your data tab control.

Alternatively, I'd recommend you switch to using a data deck, and enable the "Default Card" property of the data deck (a card which is rendered when the variable driving the data deck is unset). You could drive the cards with a data button bar, and add an extra button (from the very end of the toolbox) to unset the variable.

Cheers!

Meep!
