show multiple selections on a parameter in header

show multiple selections on a parameter in header

show multiple selections on a parameter in header

(OP)
I am using cr 2016

I have a parameter and I can select one or more items

I also have the parameter in the header so you can display the selection. This works fine for selecting one item BUT not if I select more than one (data itself is fine its just the display in the header)

Ideally I would like it to show each selection in this format --> select a, select b, select c etc etc

RE: show multiple selections on a parameter in header

What is the datatype of the parameter?

Also, what is the ultimate display? Let’s say the parameter is {?Car}. Are you saying you want to see:

Mazda, Chevrolet, GMC

?? Or what specifically?

-LB

RE: show multiple selections on a parameter in header

(OP)
its string parameter and yes as per your example, I drop the ?Parameter into the header and want to show as you suggest. At moment it just seems to show one value

RE: show multiple selections on a parameter in header

Place this formula in the header:

stringvar x;
numbervar i;
for i := 1 to ubound({?parm}) do(
x := x + {?parm}[i]+", "
);
left(x,len(x)-2)

RE: show multiple selections on a parameter in header

I just normally do my parameter displays like this:
if {?Parameter}="*"
then "All Parameters"
else join ({?Parameters},",")

if you don't have the wildcard then you could just use
join ({?Parameters},",")
