Hi,

I am working on Crystal report XI. I have a report in which I need to have a prompt on the column which is having NULL values in the database.
Now the problem I am having is, since all the values for the particualar column is NULL i am not able to select Any value in the Prompt box and the report is not fetching any record.
Is there any way to fetch those NULL values in the report using the prompt. I have created prompt at the Data provider level and using universe to create the report.
 
In future I may get data in the column but right now only NULL values are there and only because of this prompt I am not getting data.
Please help!!

Thanks in advance

Regards
Ishu

you can just setup a formula in the select expert (isnull(value) or value=PROMPT)

haven't used parameters from CR in years, but can't you have the user check the box that says allow nulls?
