Insert parameter to retrieve a specific chart type

Hi everyone,
Is is possible to display a specific type of chart depending on an input parameter in my data. For instance, my dataset contains a column for questiontype.
If the questiontype equals 1, I would like to display to results in a barchart. If the questiontype equals 2 I would like to display the result in a pie-chart.

IS there some kind of way to manage this problem?

thanks so far.

I am not 100% certain - but close - I do not think this can be accomplished with "out of the box" RS...
As you know - when you design the report the data from the data set populates the chart, bar, pie, etc. I have not come across a method to alternate what type of chart is displayed because you have to design the report with each chart type (bar, pie, etc...) and once these charts are added via the design wizard - they are just there and that is that...
If you get an answer I would like to know as well...
One other thing I have tried to get to happen as well --
Not display the chart based upon a parameter - but once you "design the report" with a chart it appears (as long as there is data).
So I think the answer is no and I have searched everywhere for answers to the questions.
Best Regards,
joe
