Thank you for the reply, ckattookaran. Your tip for casting the ID as an varchar was helpful. I was getting incompatible field type issues from the case statement when having the ELSE return the ID.

Here you.

Private Function GetJournals(ByVal si As SessionInfo) As DataTable
	Dim dt As New DataTable
	Dim sql As New Text.StringBuilder
	sql.AppendLine("SELECT CAST(JLT.[ConsId] as varchar) as ConsId")
	sql.AppendLine("From [JournalLineItem] As JLT")
	sql.AppendLine("WHERE JLT.JournalID = 'ABC'")
	
	Using dbConn As DbConnInfo = BRApi.Database.CreateApplicationDbConnInfo(si)
		dt = BRApi.Database.ExecuteSqlUsingReader(dbConn, sql.ToString, True)
	End Using
	
	If dt.rows.Count > 0 Then
		dt.Columns("ConsId").MaxLength = -1
		dt.Columns("ConsId").ReadOnly = False
		
		For Each dr As DataRow In dt.Rows
			dr.BeginEdit
			Dim intConsId As Integer = ConvertHelper.ToInt32(dr("ConsId"))
			dr("ConsId") = Currency.GetItem(intConsId).Name
			dr.EndEdit 
		Next	
		
	End If
	
	Return dt
	
End Function

Use this in a Dashboard Data Set rule and you can use a data adapter to create the report.
