    Hi,

    Yes, you can but make sure you delete your Temp table data after your reports run. ;)

    Thanks

    Yes, you can set UseTemporary = true; on a data item:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-usetemporary-report-property

    And you can also use temporary tables or recordvariables:

    docs.microsoft.com/.../devenv-temporary-tables

    Many reports do that, have a look at:

    Hi, Yes, this is also the most performant and recommended practice.

    You can use the following three ways to set the temp table.

    Hope this helps as well.

    Thanks.
