Hi,

I have situation where I must use LIKE operator two times for same value.

So, I have report parameter which consists list of letters. So, I must retrieve all values which start with chosen letter. I put in filter next:

row["name"] like "params["letter"].value+"%" and this works.

But when I choose more letters from my parameter, I get an empty list.
So, my question is, how I can use LIKE operator in filter to work with more than one value, in my case, two values?

Regards,

I assume the parameter is a multselect parameter? If so multiple values
are accessed like

params["letter"].value[0]
params["letter"].value[1]
and you can get the length like:
params["letter"].length

Look at the filter on the attached reports dataset to see a similar way
of doing what you need.
