    Posted: 17 Oct 2007 at 6:44am

I'm trying to find a way to use the descriptions used for my parameter prompts in my report.  A number value is entered into the parameter but I would like to display the user friendly description on the report.  Is there a way to display the description of the parameter on a report?

This may help if I understand your question correctly.

Create a Formula field for the description.
In the formula editor, write something like this:
 
if {?Start Date} = '1' then "description of prompt 1"
else
if {?Start Date} = '2' then "description of prompt 2"
else
if {?Start Date} = '3' then "description of prompt 3"
else ""
 
Then insert the formula field into the report where you want the description to go.
 
Hope that helps.
