Dynamic Grouping.. Is it possible?

Hello All,
I have a table with 2 groups in my report. When I edit a group I can
specify the expression to "group on" for the groups.
I would like to be able to make the expression, for the top group, a value
from a report parameter so that the user can specify this when the report
is generated.
The Edit Group Window certainly allows me to pick a report parameter but I
am not sure if it would actually work.. nor what the value of the parameter
should be to make it work. Is this possible?
Example:
Top Group: User Selectable (Country, State, City)
Second Group: Product
Detail Row: Sales data for that product/place combo
So the user could say he would like to see sales grouped by
country/product, state/product, or city/product.
Is this doable without creating 3 different reports?

Message posted via http://www.sqlmonster.comTry the following dynamic group expression:
=Fields(Parameters!TopGroup.Value).Value
This requires that the values (or labels) of the TopGroup parameters have
matching field names in your dataset (i.e. Country, State, City).
