    Posted: 24 Aug 2010 at 3:53am
I have a simple parameter that coverts a numeric parameter to a string and used the formula below
 
{paramater} = totext({numeric.field})
 
also tried
 
{paramater} = cstr({numeric.field})
 
and changed the paratemeter type to string in the edit parameter box. The problem is the input is a range, so I set the range to true and when i enter the numeric vallues to get a summary value i get a wrong result. Is there any other way to go about it because I have also choose "all", so i used "all" as the default value but again the sum result is coming out wrong. any ideas anybody? Thanks

ok you have a parameter that has a the word all, or a range like 1-10, or just a number, like 5 in it?  And you need to determine if the value in the table matches the parameter?
 
if this is the case, I would try something like:
local booleanvar keep := true;
local numbervar start;
local numbervar finish;
 
if {?parameter} <> 'ALL' then(
  if instr({?parameter}, '-') > 0 then(
    start := val(mid({?parameter}, 1, instr({?parameter}, '-'));
    finish := val(mid({?parameter},instr({?parameter}, '-')+1);
    if {numeric.field} > finish or {numeric.field} < start then keep := false;
 
  )
  else(
    if val({?parameter}) <> {numeric.field} then
      keep := false
  )
);
 
keep
 
 
I think that will work...might have minor syntax issues with ;
