CR10 Parameter Question

Using CR 10
Creating a report for our CFO and she would like to be able to run it by either of two parameter values "Run Date" OR "Paid Date". Is there a way to create the parameters so that she can choose which way she wants to run the report without having to create two reports? Thank you in advance

Hi Timmkatt

Assuming there the report would have a date parameter (lets call it {?DATE}) and a date "type" parameter {?TYPE}, create a selection formula like this:
(
(
{?TYPE} = 'Run Date' and
{table.run_date} = {?DATE}
)
or
(
{?TYPE} = 'Paid Date' and
{table.paid_date} = {?DATE}
)
)

where {table.run_date} and {table.paid_date} are replaced by your actual names from your database, and the parameter {?TYPE} is set with options of 'Run Date' and 'Paid Date'

Cheers
Pete

Works Great! One more question can I make the date parameters a range for each Type? Thanks again in advance!

Absolutely. Changing the date parameter to a range will not require a change to the record selection.
