Help on Displaying dynamic columns

    I am try to design a report to dynamically display the columns based on today's date.  For example, table reservation has a summary result of total reservation per each of my site broken down by Month.  Table looks like this:

    Site,Jan, Feb, March, April, May

    1    ,  5,   10,      20,    4,  NULL

    5    , 10,    2,        0,    0,  NULL

    If I run it in May1, which I don't have any data yet for anything beyound May.  I just wanted to show on 4 months column instead of hard code all the months columns in my report. 

    Is there a way I can dynamically create column names based on my columns in my table and pull the data accordingly to it base on the result of the columns?

    What should I do? 

    thanks

    If the month names (Jan, Feb, etc) are the columns in your table you could simply place them as fields on your report and toggle the visibility of those fields based off the current date or off the value returned

    Does it matter if I use the Matrix? or Table?  Do I set the visibility of these field int he report property?

     

    thanks!!!
