Showing all values for Multiple Line field with Append Changes

Question

I have a simple SharePoint list with a multiple line column that has append changes enabled. I am doing a report with Report Builder 3.0 and I want to show all values of the field the same way you achieve it through a DVWP using:<SharePoint:AppendOnlyHistory
FieldName="Comments" runat="server"
ControlMode="Display" ItemId="{@ID}"/>
For reference, I'm trying to replicate this function, but on a report:

Any suggestions to show all the appended values in a report?

Hi Lewis75581,
According to your description, you want to show the append changes history of a column in Reporting Services. Right?
In Reporting Services, we don't have a feature to show the change history of a column. However, we can have workaround on SQL level. In SQL Server, we have tables: inserted table and deleted table which contains the recently inserted and deleted records.
In this scenario, we can create a trigger in your database. Once you insert rows into the table, it will be triggered and get those inserted rows. Then insert those rows into another table. Now we can create one more dataset based on this table and display
these inserted rows in our report. This might be the most effective workaround for your requirement. Please refer to a similar thread below:

Use the inserted and deleted Tables
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
