Make the Date prompts optional. That way, the user would not have to enter values in all Date Prompts.

The prompts would dispkay the values on the Prompt Page if a data item is associated with it. If your problem is to select any one of the Date Prompts, then use conditions like 'If ParamDisplayValue(?start_dt?) is not null then ...

You can create 3 lists/crosstabs and use conditional layout to hide/show thru a render variable depending on which prompt is selected. The filters would be according to different Date Prompt in those different reports.
