Need the ability to paste in a list of values into a parameter in Crystal XI
Need the ability to paste in a list of values into a parameter in Crystal XI
(OP)
Good morning. I have a report where I need the ability to paste in multiple values into a parameter prompt. The values will come from a vertical list in a text file and can range from 1 to hundreds so it would be tedious to have to enter these manually. The values will always be alpha/numeric (no special characters).
Here's an example of the list:
ABC0001
ABC3771
1DK3389
BAS3381
Also, users will be using a Crystal viewer to run this report so utilizing a formula isn't an option as they won't have a full version of Crystal XI.
Thanks for any help with this.

totext({Database.Field}) in split ({?Parameter},",")
This allows you to paste a list in the parameter, separated by a comma. Just make sure there are no spaces in the list and that there is no trailing comma at the end of the list.
