Report Builder imported questions from a customer

Hi,
1. If a table has a relation to itself example :
employee id emp name manager id
1 Melissa 2
2 Steven 100
This means Steven is the manager of Melissa.
Is it possible to make a report in Report Builder to have a list with of the
managers and their employees?
2.Following example in report builder an organization with his employees you
will see in Report builder this : (organization will appear only once)
Microsoft Steven
Melissa
BMW Jan
Els
In export to xls the customer wants to see this :
Microsoft Steven
Microsoft Melissa
BMW Jan
BMW Els
Is this possible?
And if a certain organization does not have employees they want to see this
organization for the moment the report only list organizations with employees?
3. If the email field of a person (table 1) is empty they want to see in the
report the email field of the organization (table 2) is this possible with
the function if then else... in the creation of a new field without having
fields of the organization in the report displayed?"carolineb" <carolineb@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message

Write query like this:
select
c2.Name as ManagerMame,
c1.*
from Employees c1
left join Employees c2
on c2.EmployeeID = c1.ManagerID
order by c1.ReportsTo

As far as I know this is not possible (export should be WYSIWYG if it is
working correctly)

Yes it is possible, you don't have to display all fields.

caroline : I have tried to do this and was only allowed to use fields of one
table in the if then else function, he did allowed to select a field from
another table in the if then else but indicated with an error message that
the function is not valid?
