Determining Where A Parameter Is Located

[ChiTownDiva]

How can I determine where a parameter is being used in a report?

Thanks in advance.

Export the report, and in the export format, choose "report definition". This will create a .txt file that documents all of the formulas, grouping, sorting, paramters, etc in your report.

Then search the text file for the string "{?" and you will find all parameters used.

You could also try changing the datatype of the parameter. If it is being used in a formula somewhere, the formula and an error message will pop up.
