It is unclear what you problem is. Is it with a parameter, or the subreports?

Have you created your parameter and is it prompting you as expected?

Does the main report restrict the records to those indicated by your parameter?

You can suppress a section, which means that any subreport in the section will not be run. Right-click on the left-hand margin for the section. You'll get several options, including Suppress. To do this selectively, choose Format Section. Then choose the formula icon (x+2 and a pencil) for suppression etc.

The formual could be something like

@Param in ["A", "D", "E", "G"]

In this example, value A suppresses just the first, D the 1st and 2nd, E the 1st and 3rd, G all three.
