Hi All,
         I have two reports, i am navigating from one report to other report, while navigating i am passing a parameter on which my target report gets filtered, also i am displaying my param display value in the target report , but what i can see is my target report is displaying param use value rather than display value, please help me in resolving this?

HI

Are you using a layout calculation to dispaly the paramater value?  If yo are you have a choice to use either
ParamDisplayValue('p_1') which gives you display value
or
ParamValue('p_1') which gives you the use value of the paramater

Check what your calculation is doing

I wanted to chime in that you do what to use the ParamDisplayValue('<Parameter Name>') to see the display value. I was thinking that once the parameter was passed you only had the one part passed, but that is not true. Both the value and display value are passed from one report to another (I just tested it with two reports I had that drilled from one report to another).

I am only posting this just in case someone else had an initial thought like I did. I just never tried it before.
