OK. Let me backup. Below is a sample of the data returned (an array of objects?) from the WS with the date specified as 1/10/2005. The dataProvider for the datagrid is "{service1.PulseLoansToday.result.diffgram.PulseLoansToday.PulseLo ansToday}"
Binding to the dataProvider as specified produces the desired results within the datagrid (using "CATEGORY", "TOTALBAL", etc. as the column names). Here's the rub; within the SAME datagrid, I need to display one column of TOTALBAL for the selected date(1/10/2005 in this case), and another column of TOTALBAL for yesterday's date (thisDate request is empty so default is previous day's date). Since I can only bind a datagrid to one dataProvider, I need a way to combine the results into a new dataProvider that I can bind to the datagrid.
