    Posted: 19 Jul 2011 at 4:28am
Theres a field that requires data. I've made a report such that whatever you type into this field it will generate the report accordingly. Now, I want to be able to show all data if nothing(null) is put but I realize that if try
 
a={test1} and a={test2} and a= {test3} it won't show as 'a' cannot be all three tables at once. How do I make it so that when a "" aka null is put, that all data is shown(exactly how it is when you just display all data....but doing parameters seems to mess it up)
 
Thank you.

so you arent using parameters? 
do you have something in the record selection?

I do have parameters. I just need to make it so when its null all values in the field show instead of one; as I said before it is exactly how it is when you display all the data without tampering with parameters and getting specific.

 
I'm not sure if there is a feature in CR that allows this or I have to program this myself.

okay, just trying to get a clearer picture on what you need to accomplish
you have parameters that are in the record selection - PLEASE PASTE THAT BELOW.
parameters filter data, dependent on where they are used.
 
how many parameters do you have 3?

Okay, there is a table of values. I made a report to filter out anything that is not the parameter. By default if you make a report the select expert puts it to "any value", but since I've made parameters it uses "formula:". I have two parameters(each with more than one value). 
 
I just want it so when nothing is put it shows all values. The issue is prolly this:
 
if parameter1= "" then
a= ""
 
yet i want 'a' to not be ""(null) i want 'a' to be ALL.
 
let me know if this is clear enough.

It evident that "" isn't a value thats why nothingis shown. Is there like a command that will display all the table values? or since i made parameters i have to program further to implement this?

{test}= "32"
else if {pam1}= "F10+" then
{test}= "33"
else if {pam1}= "F100" then
{test}= "34"
else if {pam1}= "F100+" then
{test}= "35"
else if {pam1}= "F1g" then
{test}= "36"
else if {pam1}= "F1g+" then
{test}= "37"
else if {pam1}= "HDSL" then
{test}= "4"
else if {pam1}= "BIHS" then

try this

go to file
report options
check NULL VALUE BOXES
 
then Add ALL to your parameter setup
take the following and place in a formula
 

if {pam1}= "ADSL" then {test}= "1"
else

if {pam1}= "F10" then {test}= "32"
else

 if {pam1}= "F10+" then {test}= "33"
else

if {pam1}= "F100" then {test}= "34"
else

if {pam1}= "F100+" then {test}= "35"
else

if {pam1}= "F1g" then {test}= "36"
else

if {pam1}= "F1g+" then {test}= "37"
else

if {pam1}= "HDSL" then {test}= "4"
else

if {pam1}= "BIHS" then {test}= "BIHS"  

 
in the record selection paste the following
 

if{pam1}= "ALL" then TRUE else {pam1}= {formula}
