I am currently running a simple report that has 1 input parameter of @IN_DNGroup which is defined in a stored procedure.

In the report the parameter drop down is populated with distinct DNGroups from a Dataset.

I am looking to add another parameter in the form of a free text box, so if you entered a letter in this box, then the next parameter (DNGroup) would be filtered to only show groups starting with that letter. This would need to work for a phrase also, eg wesq would return all groups beggining with wesq.

I have experience of cascading parameters, but I have no idea how I can filter with this criteria.

Any Suggestions?

Hey!
Try something like this:

Select Distinct DNGroups
From Table
Where Left(DNGroups,Len(@Parameter)) LIKE @Parameter + '%'

So basically it takes the length of the parameter string as the variable for the "LEFT" function then use the LIKE and "%" to get everything after that.
