that's ok and thanks for your valuable help.
Well, I want them to be able to not only enter 5 which will show employees with 5 years of service but also they should be able to do the same for 10, 15, 20 etc...which should also pull the employees with those years of service.

they should only see 5. this should be the same for the other years (i.e. 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 etc...)

ok.
Make a paramater called 'years of service' (or whatever) to allow users to enter the 5/10/15/etc. values.
likley you want this as a
type=number
LOV =static
insert values as 5
then 10 then 15etc. until you get to your max amount
go into the select expert and add inthe formula as:
(datediff('yyyy',{table.hiredate},currentdate) - if datepart('y',currentdate)<datepart('y',{table.hiredate}) then 1) - ((datediff('yyyy',{table.hiredate},currentdate) - if datepart('y',currentdate)<datepart('y',{table.hiredate}) then 1) MOD 5)

Thanks very much :) but I'm having an issue deleting old formulas that was placed in the report. will get back to you shortly but in the meantime thanks for all your valuable assistance :)
I actually created a new service recognition report using the formulas you provided me and it worked this time around. Thanks a lot for your support. It really helped me a great deal. You're the BEST

Hi there,
So I realized a little issue that I thought you could help me with again.
example: employee hired date is 8/8/2005. so the year of service should be 6 (i.e. 6 years on 8/8/2011). however, they show up in year 5 and so forth...
Is there a way that the prompt will calculate the exact years of service using their hire date? Your help again will be appreciated. Thanks

not sure I understand what you want exactly.
datediff('yyyy',{table.hiredate},currentdate) - if datepart('y',currentdate)<datepart('y',{table.hiredate}) then 1
will give you there actual tenure in completed years, although your example if hired on 8/8/2005 will wtill be 5 years as of today because we are using today as our cut off. You can use a param to see whom will hit a tenure on a future date by replacing currentdate with a param date.

Thnx. Actually, I just thought of it and that should be fine because if an employee has 5.5yrs of service, they aren't necessary at 6yrs of service yet so they'll show up as 5yrs of service...so this is fine. sorry about the confusion.
However, I want to insert a group in the report that will group the employees by their service years (i.e. 5, 10, 15, 20 etc...)
