How do I do multi-select parameter? [message #699634]

What is the latest for creating a multi-select parameter? Is it baked into Birt now?

select name, state, zip, phone
from
people
where state in ('AZ','CA','NY','UT');

I want the user to be presented with a dynamically generated list and he selects multiple states from the list.

Brian,

You can do this with a dataset filter or a little script in the
beforeOpen event of the datasource. I prefer the script as it pushes
down the in clause to the db. Take a look at the attached example.

Great. Thanks for the example. The "Before Open" property is a little obscure, but it works. It took me a while to find it.

Hello again Jason,

Do you have a similar report to this one, that is compatible with v2.3.2?

I have hit the same issue as Brian Sad

Gavin

It is attached. I also attached how to do this if the where component
requires an integer.
