Making only certain data show in a cell

I am building a report and would like only certain data to show in a cell.
For instance I have 8 pay codes in my select statement, but would like to
show just 4 of them in the detail section. I don't want to limit my select
statement to just the 4 because I need the other 4 in another cell of this
report. Any ideas?
Its almost like I need a where clause within my particular cell.
Thanks,
RyanAlso, I thought about using multiple data sources and create a new table, but
is there a way to link two different data sources in a report? For instance
my report is on employee id and I would need to make sure that the data from
both data sources in the row detail are for the same employee id.

In your data properties, select tab "Filters" and configure there the values
you want to show.
Does it help?

seperate the data better.
