Hi,
I want to align the parameter components in a different location compared to the standard position automatically assigned when we select to add in a component.How can the same be done?

Thanks

Hi,
How do we position the parameters in the output screen?.I have 2 datepickers,one for start and other for end date.Once the report is published I want to position the component side by side instead of below each other.How do I achieve this?

Thanks

I have a quite complicated situation.
In a report, user can choose Start_Date and End_Date, then, depending to his choice another list must be valued with a time condition like:
valid_form = ${End Date}.
The problem is that I can generate the report even for one day only, so if the user chose the same date as Start and End, the second list isn’t refreshed.
Any hints?

Hi!! Your post is very usefull, but i would like to use the date picker as a part of a a MXQ query, in the where part like a period.
Example:
select {[Measures].[SOLDS]} ON COLUMNS, [dimension1].Children ON ROWS from [myCube] where (and here is the problem) MyDate>ParameterDate1 and myDate

Could you help me? Thanks a lot!

Hi Prashant,
I would like to add a parameter to my report, where the user can add more rows of data in one free text field. Every new data must come in a new row.
e.g:
123
234
567

Is it possible?
Thanks.

Hi Prashant,

I’ve been following your tutorials and they’ve been very helpful.

However, I’m still looking for a way to use a parameter as a partial or complete part of a table name in a SQL query. I mean, for example:

SELECT * FROM ${table} or

SELECT * FROM ta${ble}

Does PRD have a way to do this?

I’ve tried this query in several forms in the data set but it hasn’t worked.

Thanks.

@Alex

You can right click on the parameters under the Data tab and use the Bring Forward and Send Backwards menu options – this will affect the order they are executed and seen by the user.
