conditioning Parameters in Crystal XI
conditioning Parameters in Crystal XI
(OP)
Is there a way to condition the prompt of parameters?. for example I need a Parameter to either prompt for a date or an amount. in my case the same report should be able to run by date range or by amount range so I 'm thinking:
parameter 1 "Report Type" values "Date Range" or "Amount Range"
If the user selects "Date Range" Parameters for Begin Date and End Date should appear.
If the user selets "Amount Range" then parameters for "from amount" and through amount should appear.
I want to avoid all the parameters prompted if they are not needed, i.e if "date range" is selected, only the date parameters should be enabled.
Is there anyw way to do that?
Thanks in advance

If your called subreport contains a subreport, the approach above won't work (a subreport cannot contain a subreport). But at least one 3rd-party viewer (see list on Ken Hamady's web site) provides a solution. Users of that viewer can double-click in one report to trigger another report. This avoids the subreport limitation. It also allows passing login and parameter info from the calling report to the triggered report.
