Hi,

I have field with 5 records so created dynamic prompt onit.

But my question is out of 5 records into the prompt i need 4 on that report and also i need with the left over 1 record on the another same report.
So how should i filter them in the prompt to get 4 records on the first report and another 1 record on the another report.

Formula field created on that field does not help me out.

Thanks in an advance.

Regards,
 
With your report, is it possible to ask for the first 4 values and then base your logic for the first report on 'in' the list then the second report could be based on 'not in' the list?
 
Hi,

The first report required to see only 4 records data so i need only 4 values to see in that Prompt.
And similarly for another report with only 1 record data.

Please let me know if i have not make sense.

Thanks
 
I'm assuming you are using the parameter for record selection. If I'm understanding, you can use 1 parm. Here is what I mean.

You can ask for the 4 values and your record selection would be the following:

report 1 - (the one with the 4 vaues):
field in {?parmName}

report 2 - (the one with the value not in the parm list):
field not in {?parmName}

==========================================================
Or you can do it by asking for the single value with the following record selection:

report 1 - (the one with the 4 values not entered)
field <> {?parmName}

report 2 - (the one with the value)
field = {?parmName}

==========================================================

Good luck,
A.
 
Hi,

Does not get what i need.
to be more specific, the Dynamic Prompt which has created on that field (Eg:DeptName contains 5 values like DeptName1, DeptName2 ...DeptName5) required to select only 4 values out of 5 values on the first report.
So should we limit to get only 4 values in the prompt when i run the report.

i hope you got me.

Thanks
