    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.

    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:
