Just wondering where the function Paramvalue is ?

please can you point me in the right direction to find it.

I always want to choose operation rather than typing...is this the way one should create expressions?

If you are using a layout calculation, in the report functions you have ParamValue as a choice.

If you are in a data item calculation, the parameter values are listed by name on the last (5th) tab on the available components screen.

ParamValue ('parameterName')
Returns the parameter value of "parameterName".
ParamDisplayValue ('parameterName')
Returns a string that is the parameter display value of "parameterName".

Hi,

If you are looking for Param meter value in the query then you can drag from the last tab in the dataitem when you drag it to the dataitem window it looks like ex: ?ParameterName?. :) :)

I dont think it is a layout calculation.
please see steps in the attached.

I had to type paramvalue manually

In this case, you type it in, not select it from a list.
