Easy Report parameter Question

Im trying to hard code a Year in as an available value for the user to pick out of a drop down box. This is what i have so far.

Label Value

Travel Year 2006

well i want to go ahead and put two value for that one label , like this:

Label Value

Travel Year 2006, 2007

How do i do this? I tried putting a comma, and i tried putting a semi colon, but it always just grabs the first number "2006".

I know it cant be this hard! please help! THanks!

Enter another Label/Value combination like this:

Label Value

TravelYear 2006

TravelYear 2007

or you could write a little query to do it.

ok, this is actually not what im writing, i just tried to explain it in a simpler way, this is what i want

Label Value

Task National TN001, TN002, TN003, TN004, TN005, TN006, TN007

Task Vet TV001,TV002, TV003, TV004, TV005

Survey National SN001, SN002, SN003, SN004, SN005

and so on

Its a way of grouping the same type of tasks together in the parameter, so the user doesnt have to individually go through a long list of codes.

THere should be away to put one option with multiple values.

You could manually create a dataset like this:

Select 'Task National' as Label, 'TN001, TN002, TN003, TN004, TN005, TN006, TN007' as Value

union

Select 'Task Vet' as Label, 'TV001,TV002, TV003, TV004, TV005' as Value

union

Select 'Survey National' as Label, 'SN001, SN002, SN003, SN004, SN005' as Value

Then parse the values and use them.

I ended up just putting it in the where clause like this

Code Snippet

WHERE REGION_KEY=@.Region_Key

AND LEFT(Qry_Questions.[Question Code],2)IN (@.QuestionCode)

so it grouped the ones with the same 2 first letters. Works great!|||Nice job. Sometimes you have to be a little creative to get things to work right. :-)
