Crystal report parameter usage

Question

Hi all,
I am facing a issue in designing crystal report. I want to display records in report as per user entered value of date parameter but  in database if data is not present for given input date value then the report should run for value which is one older than given input date value which is present in database (In short, report run for near by older value than input date value if record is not present for entered input value)  .
How to do it in crystal report.
Please help.
Any comment is valuable.
Thanks

You can try this - In your sql query select data for both the dates - input date and next higher date (something like where sale_date = {input date} or saledate ={input date}+1)
In Crystal do a record select filter to display the data for input date
For eg:
if sale_date ={input date} then
    if count(sale_id) is not null then 'sale amount'
else ' '.
Basically use the idea not sure about how to put it in syntax without looking at other report elements....Hope it helps
