Answer / seshu

We can do the same by using render variable but if you use the render variable that is better way to take two pages on one page you should have the list and on other page you should have both that are list and crosstab.

use one prompt with static choices that are as follows:
1>List
2>Both

make any boolean variable or string variable where you need to define the condition that if (?promptdisplayvalue?='list')
then
1
else
2
assign that 1 variable to the page where you have list and assign the value of 2 where you have both list and crosstab
