hi all,

In my report I want to make certain parameters to depend on the previous parameters. I think we can use those as cascading parameters. How to make a parameter a cascading parameter? and how to use those cascading parameter ? It would be nice of you if you can help me.

Thanking you,
Lekshmi

Just look it up in Books Online, it's fully described with instructions and examples.

hi,

Thanks for your immediate reply. But my question is whether we can use non queried parameter for cascading parameters.

Actually in my application, we are getting the parameter values from a .net interface, not from a query.
Is it possible to use cascading params in such situation? Then how?

Thanks,


Lekshmi

Hi leksh. What you mean by cascading parameters? a Multi-value parameters? If so, yes it is possible.

You should be able to use a data processing extension (is that already what you are doing to get the data?) with cascading parameters.
