I am using a nested query concept, where main named query returning 4 different type data and subquery is returning few columns based on the named query data, now when placing that in a table group, sub query column wise data key needs to be placed dynamically FOR EXAMPLE: If Named Query DATA=1 it will SHOW “@A@” in sub table column-1, IF DATA=2 then in subtable it will show “@B@“ in sub table column-1 I am binding Dynamic DataKey as@TYPE: @TYPE@.Start measure where TYPE will be coming from parent query result but its not working ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/4/74facc458a2c2d1804a1604bf9560df772ed6484.png) ---

You cannot change data keys dynamically. You **can** hide table columns dynamically. Consider putting all four keys in your table and hide the ones that don't apply. ---

OKay, that also works but I am using this - @DESCRIPTION@="AA"?"True":"False" as keychain expression in visible property but this doesn’t work, am I missing something? ---

Probably just `@DESCRIPTION="AA"@` (Don't use the trinary operator to convert a boolean conditional to boolean constants, and especially not to strings that just look like booleans.) ---

It worked just with - DESCRIPTION!="AA"?”True”:”False”. It was not accepting “@“ ---
