P2 report SQL using P1 report columns

Question

Hi,
I have a page1 (P1) report table with 3 columns COL1, COL2 and COL3.
COL1 has 3 rows with values 'A', 'B' and 'C'
I'd like to produce a report table on P2 from a SQL query using the values (not the column name) from P1 COL1 like:
select * from TABLE where (COL1='A', COL1='B, COL1='C');
but get the values for A, B and C from the P1 report.
Any ideas? Is it even possible?
Cheers,
Dave

Hi,
You can edit your previous post - there's an icon top-right above the post - just make sure you leave the blurb that says you've edited it.
The only way to get the values from an entire column would be to use an IN clause in your P2's query but you would have to the WHERE clause of P1's sql to get this.
For example, assuming P1's statement is:
SELECT COL1, COL2, COL3
FROM MYTABLE1
WHERE X = :P1_FILTER
Your P2 statement would be:
SELECT COLX, COLY, COLZ
FROM MYTABLE2
WHERE COLX IN (SELECT COL1 FROM MYTABLE1 WHERE X = :P1_FILTER)
AND COLY IN (SELECT COL2 FROM MYTABLE1 WHERE X = :P1_FILTER)
AND COLZ IN (SELECT COL3 FROM MYTABLE1 WHERE X = :P1_FILTER)
There are other possible WHERE clause but the principle would be the same
