Hi all,
I have a sql based report that has a column named 'id' that has values like A, B, C

i need to create a prompt that displays
1
2

When the usedr selects 1 then data with respect to A should be displayed
When the user selects 2 then data with respect to B and C should be displayed.

I used a case satement in my column but its not working fine

Thanks,
Sam

Hi,

Can you share the expression you are attempting to use? It's difficult to know what the issue might be unless we see what you have done already.

How are you populating the prompt? Are you using Static Choices? If so, what have you defined as the "Use Value" for each?

I have a [desc] column that has three values. Normal, distributed and redistributed
the desc column comes from a sql.  i created a parameter ?wave?. I used static choice - use values as 1 and 2.

I used the below filter expression
if ((?desc?) = 1) then

([SQL1].[DESC]) = ( 'Normal))

else if ((?wave?) = 2) then ([SQL1].[DESC] in  ('Distributed','Redistributed'))

else ([SQL1].[DESC] in (?wave?))


please correct me if the above expression is wrong.


Thanks,
Sam

How about:

(?wave? = 1 and [DESC] in ('Normal')) or (?wave? = 2 and [DESC] in ('Distributed', 'Redistributed'))

Thanks MFGF, I applied your logic and it did the trick...
