Report designer - turning off the query generator

Is there a way to stop the report designer from 'fixing' my query?

I tried to modify the where clause with an OR statement and when I ran the report it totally messes it up.

Any ideas?

It sounds like you are using the visual query designer (4 display panes). You can just switch to the generic query designer (2 display panes). More information is available here: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms365414.aspx

Report Builder top x% clause

How to set up report (chart or table) with:
- top X
or
- top x%
clause to limit number of records displayed?
Is it possible?
Any ideas?
TIA,
KamelThis can be done by using the 'Top N' or 'Top %' in the filter tab for
the chart or table, where you set the expression, then select 'Top N'
ot 'Top %'as the Operator, followed by the actual number or pct.
Matt A|||I have following operators in filter definition:
- Is Empty
- Equals
- In a list
- Greater Than
...etc
But there are no Top N and Top % operators.
Whats wrong?
Kamel|||Can someone help with this?|||Put your "top 10 percent" clause into your query\stored procedure that feeds
the report...
