Placing Multiple Parameters on a report 4

[JamesFlowers]

I have a report that takes a parameter that allows multiple values passed.

I use CR 8.

When I place the parameter on the report to show the values chosen by a user it only shows the first parameter entered.

please any help will be most appreciated

Hi,
Are you using Crystal Reports by itself or using a frontend with it? When you hit the "refresh" button, it should allow you to change the values even if you have declared one of the values as the "default."

Crystal 8 has a new function: Join (list, delimiter) where list would be the parameter and the delimiter would be a comma or other charater to separate.

I have examples of this in my FAQ on common formulas. Ken Hamady

Great thanks folks it worked a treat!

I know this Thread is from a while back but I have a quick question. The join function only allows a maximum of 254 characters (due to limitations of CR). What if your list turns out to be longer than 254, would it be possible to accomplish this?

You would have to parse the parameter into several pieces with formulas like this one that prints the first four elements in the parameter array:

if Count ({?param}) > 4
then Join ({?param} [1 to 4] , ',' )
else Join ({?param} [1 to Count( {?sd} )] , ',' ) Ken Hamady, On-site Custom Crystal Reports Training & Consulting
