You can't 'make' a parameter. What you can do is add static choices that are shown when running a prompt.
You can apply a render variable to a list column and hide/show it based on a parameter value (the use value of the prompt)

a prompt has a use and display value (see properties) the use value corresponds with the prompt parameter which can be used in report expressions and filters.
Frankly, your question about grouping is a bit vague. Yes, you can group data in a report. But I think that is not were you are after..?

To group by user choices you need to make a data item in your query, call it "Group A". Inside, it try something like:

CASE ?FirstGroup?
When 'Sales' Then [Sales]
When 'Profit' Then [Profit]
END

You can do that for Group B, C, etc. Then in your list, put those new data items in the list group on them. Now you're letting your user choose what to group on.
