Displaying rows with reference to row count.

Question

Situation :
I am trying to display data which are or of 820 rows by default.
When user select some data , I will display some data but if he not selecting any data then it is displaying all 820 rows.
So i used a count option where i wrote a code
<?choose:?><?when:count(_Company_Prompt_._PL_Unit_Number_and_Name_-Prompt)=820?><?'ALL'?><?end when?><?otherwise:?><?_Company_Prompt_._PL_Unit_Number_and_Name_-Prompt?><?end otherwise?><?end choose?>
for the field count CompanyPrompt_._PL_Unit_Number_and_Name_-Prompt
But it works fine if i dont use repeating group but that no use because it will show all for report defaults but when user select more than one , it still display only one row.
i am try to use same code with F <?for-each:PARAMETER_FOR_BUSINESS_UNIT_ROW?> E
The code for f is <?for-each:PARAMETER_FOR_BUSINESS_UNIT_ROW?>
the code for <?for-each:PARAMETER_FOR_BUSINESS_UNIT_ROW?> is given above
the code for e is <?end for-each?>
how can I fix this,
Thanks

I don't quite understand your requirement clearly as stated, I am guessing that you are using a dashboard prompt and your answers request is filtered based on the prompt.
Based on the default value, all rows are returned, and if the user selects some value from the prompt, data is filtered.
Within the template, if the count is equal to 820 then you want to show the text 'ALL' otherwise show all rows?
you could try the following: Declare a variable like so:
<?variable:myvar;count(_Company_Prompt_._PL_Unit_Number_and_Name_-Prompt)?>
then check if this variable value is equal to 820 then print the text 'ALL' or do your regular logic..
<?choose:?>
<?when:$myvar=820?><?'ALL'?>
<?end when?>
<?otherwise?>
<? other logic?>
<?end otherwise?>
<?end choose?>
You can also use two templates within the main RTF and call them as appropriate based on the count check.
Hope this helps. Sorry if I misunderstood your requirements.
