How to make one OR the other parameter required? (but not both)

Hi all,
I've got a report showing expenditures by budget code. There's a multi value parameter allowing the user to choose any codes they want, but this can be tedious, since there's a couple hundred of them.
I would like to offer as an alternative a couple of "pre-packaged budget code groups" on another parameter. How can I set it up so that the user must choose EITHER something out of the full multi value set, OR one of the 2 or 3 pre-packaged options?
thanks for any tips,
sff

Hi sherifffruitfly2,
In Reporting Services, we can make a parameter optional by setting default values for the parameter. Based on your scenario, you can set one parameter to have no default values and set default values for the other parameter.
As Josh posted, another approach is to add "All" value to each parameter and set "All" as the default value for each parameter. Then, we can set the visibility of the report to hide when both of the parameter contains "All". That way, the user can get the
report to run by changing the values of only one parameter. For more information about add a "All" value to a parameter, please see the following thread with a similar topic:

  • I have an Ipod 1st gen, and I can't seem to make an Apple ID without giving my credit card number. I even looked up how to make one without the credit card number, but it doesn't show up as an option when i follow the instructions. Help anyone?

    help me please.

    If you only want the free iPhone/iPod apps, take a look here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534
    Read the steps carefully as the order in which you follow them is apparently critical. This seems to come and go, or only apply to App Stores in specific countries, so you may not see the option for "None" when asked for a payment type.
    You will of course not be able to get anything other than the free content without entering in some sort of payment method (credit card, prepaid iTunes card, gift certificate, etc.)

  • I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

    I use more than one computer to access my four business email accounts. When one computer is on (and mail is open) emails do not get through to the other computers. This is fine, but how do I make one of the other computers the dominant one?

    I assume these are POP accounts and all computers are set to remove from Server after downloading.
    So on the non dominant ones... Mail Preferences>Accounts, highlight an account, Advanced tab, uncheck remove from Server, just have the main dominant one remove from server.
    Or get/setup IMAP accounts.

  • How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

    How do I create both endnotes and footnotes in same doc in Pages? I have iWork 2008. I understand how to create one or the other, but not both.

    You have to select one or the other.
    Try making two documents and see if you can merge the .pdfs, but their will be problems with page flow, making the pages shift. Can't see it working really.
    Pages is not the only solution out there or the best for most jobs (let alone the safest). Try Word for Mac, LibreOffice (free) or any App that has the features you need.

    I have a problem with my iPhone 5 stopped working the sleep / power and simultaneously refused to obey the HOME button. I can not use either one or the other. I can not enable or disable the device, display lights up when you plug the charger. same display works fine as it is surprising. or maybe someone knows what is the reason for this? is there any way to solve this problem?

    More than likely its a hardware issue, I have never encountered such a problem and best bet is to just go get it replaced. If you have insurance on your device apple will replace it as long as there was no water damage, if you dont have insurance they will charge $200 more or less. Hope you get it fixed

  • How to make one of the columns in my tabular an text item with popup lov

    Hello,
    I want to manually make one of the columns say for the deptno in my tabular form as on text item popup lov using apex_item package
    and whenever user clicks on the text item popup lov, it should open up an dept table report and from which he/she needs to select
    the deptno and this deptno should be returned into the text item popup lov column.
    like for example: say if i have an emp table tabular form with all the columns and deptno column as an popup lov and when user clicks on this column
    it should open up an new sql report(similar to popup lov window), the select statement for this would be
    select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;
    And from this popup lov report whenever an user selects a particular deptno, the same deptno should be returned to my text item popup column in emp tabular form.
    something like this
    select
    "EMPNO",
    "EMPNO" EMPNO_DISPLAY,
    "ENAME",
    "JOB",
    "MGR",
    "HIREDATE",
    "SAL",
    "COMM",
    APEX_ITEM.TEXT(3,deptno,20,50,'readonly=true') || '<img height="16" align="middle" width="16" style="vertical-align: middle;" alt="Popup Lov" src="/i/lov_16x16.gif"/>' deptno
    from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
    like i made my column as an text item lov and now I want to write an onclick event for the text item lov so that an popup window is displayed which is a sql report of the table dept (select deptno,dname,loc from dept order by 1;) and in this report i want to make deptno as an link so that when ever an user clicks on it
    -- this value should be returned to my text item popup lov column deptno in the emp tabular form.
    can anyone help me out with this issue.
    thanks,

  • I am using the "Menu Selection With Events.vi" example alongside other while loops, When I select exit from the new menu it stops the other while loops but not the menu/event while loop

    The event driven menu example works fine and I've integrated it into my application. I have built in simple local vars to link menu selections to existing GUI buttons. The problem is that I cannot get the File-Exit menu option to switch off/terminate the application. The [1] "Stop": Value Change panel of the event structure simply switches off the other while loops but leaves the event while loop running. Add a while loop to the axample using a local var from the event while loop to terminate 2nd while loop to get the effect.
    Help appreciated, Chris

    Attached you will find a modified version of your VI.
    I documented what I did on the block diagram.You were right on you just needed to add a variable with a true wired to it.
    Have fun with it.

  • I want the Google and Yahoo fight on my browser to go away. How do I get rid of these stupid notifications asking me to make one or the other my defaults?

    I use Google. My browser is set with Google.ca as my homepage and Google is my default search engine.
    For a while I was getting messages asking me if I wanted to know how to make Yahoo my defaults...I managed to get rid of that crap...
    But now I get bars popping up at the top of my screen asking me if I want to switch to Google...either my homepage or my default search engine...toss-up which one will come up when I open my browser.
    Even though everything is set for Google I still get these obnoxious pushed "suggestions".
    How do I get rid of these?
    Right now it's looking like using IE is the only way...

    You will get them on IE. I suggest you also contact Google support, as this is also a problem on their end. I too have everything set to Google on both Firefox, Opera, IE, and Chrome and the only one not getting the annoying banners is surprising Google Chrome.

  • I have two ipads under the same name/account. How do I airplay content from one to the other if there is not a distinguishing difference between the two or use face chat?

    I gave my 2yr old my 16gb ipad 2 when I upgraded to a 64gb ipad 3. They are on the same account so that I can share certain apps between them, but because they consider themselves one in the same I can't use airplay or face chat with my daughters ipad. How do I do these things?

    Airplay doesn't work between two iPads so you don't need to worry about that, however, you can change the name of an iPad in Settings > General > About > Name.

  • How to make one of the chart ignore series grouping..

    I need to create a dashboard where i have
    X- axis -- Months
    Y-axis 1 -- Units
    Y-axis 2 - Percentage..
    Series Group -- State
    Now i have to group the percentage by state which is a line chart ...where as the units is stacked area which shouldn't be grouped by state...So is there a way to not group the units by state and group the % by state in the same chart ?
    I will have stacked area over which i need to have the % with line chart ..
    Is there a way to achieve this in SSRS 2008 R2 ?

    Hi Sri,
    In chart, when we add the fields in the data drop zones, Reporting Services calculates an aggregate for the field based on the category group and series group. The scenario you post is not support in chart data region.
    To work around this issue and meet your requirement, please refer to the following steps.
    1. Specify the values expression of the “Units” filed as follows:
    =SUM(Fields!units.Vlaue,”Chart_CategoryGroup”)
    (note: specify the scope with the name of the category group in chart instead of the label of the category group, for example,”Months”)
    2. Hide the duplicate columns or bars in the stacked area: right-click the “Units” filed and open the series properties dialog box, in the visibility page, set expression for hidden as follows:
    =IIF(Fields!units.Vlaue=First(Fields!units.Vlaue,”DataSet”),false,true)
    3. Specify the series displayed in legend, type the custom legend text as follows:
    =”Uints for this Month”.
    When preview the chart, the report shows only one aggregate value for each category group in the stacked area.
    The following screen shot the designer structure and the preview of a similar report, please take as reference.

  • How to make one Mac the "master", and the other Macs "secondary"?

    When using ISync to my DotMac account, and using three or four Macs all synching to one DotMac account, is it possible to designate one particular Mac to be the "most important" or "parent" Mac, and then all others, (laptops), be less important?
    I just want the Address Book on the main machine, the G5 Desktop, to always take precedence, and never get overwritten in any way, by a less refined Address Book on a laptop traveling machine.
    Thank you.

    iSync (or rather .Mac Sync is what you are referring to) does not work like that.
    There is no master and slave relationship in synchronising. All devices are equal and all devices sync their data to all other devices equally. That is what true synchronising is.
    What you are proposing is not synchronising - it is a simple copy and replace operation from one source, and the SyncServices framework is not designed for that.
    The whole point of synchronising is to get away from having a Master data source. You can change data on ANY device (Mac, phone or PDA) and the changes will be synced to all other devices.

  • LOVS - How to make one of the values the default value ?

    Greetings,
    This is a very basic question so, anyonw who has some experience witrh loves can surely help me.
    I have a lov which i populate like this:
    select 0 as never,00 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select rownum,rownum from man_cod_pos where rownum <= 24
    UNION
    select 36 as never,36 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 48 as never,48 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 60 as never,60 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 72 as never,72 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 84 as never,84 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 96 as never,96 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 108 as never,108 as nunca from dual
    UNION
    select 120 as never,120 as nunca from dual
    order by 1 ASC
    This will be the number of months, so 1-24 and after every year hence 36 and so on.
    So far so good.
    I however have one of this values kept in a database record and after populating the lov i want the value that is selected to be the one which is in the database record.
    How do i achieve that?
    So far i have been doing it with ajax but i am kinda tired of having to make an ajax call everytime i need to update a LOV and i am sure APEX can handle this.
    Thanks
    My Homepage
    Best Regards

    First of all thanks to both for the time taken.
    I'm gonna be honest here I am unfamiliar with LOVS within apex and pl sql altogether.
    In this case the list of possible values will be the one i mentioned earlier so it is static, the only thing that will change will be the default seleced value wich has to reflec the value of the database record.
    So are static more beneficial in this case? if so why?
    Varad i have atempted to place this in the default value:
    select 10 as never,10 as nunca from dual
    This is only for testing purposes but it won t place the 10 as the selected value....
    I have tried pl sql function body pl sql expression and it doesn t accept any, it only works when i choose a static value.
    what am i doing wrong?

  • Help needed to display Values one below the other

    Hi Experts,
    I am having three characteristics among eight others whose values are to be displayed in BEx Analyzer. These three characteristics values are line items whose values are being displayed side by side.
    Now, I want them to be displayed one below the other. I do not know how to do it.
    Can anyone guide me?
    Waiting for the reply,
    Thanks in advance,
    With Kind Regards,
    Shreeem

    Hi Shreem,
    As of my knowledge we have only one options for your requirement that is "Hierarchies'.
    You have to create hierarchy for all your line items but this not good pratice.
    Otherwise in reporting only you have to set the hierarchy :- Go to Rows in Rows tab -> Right click-> Select Hierarchy.
    Hope it helps you.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Set up choice of partition to boot on every start up instead of one or the other?

    I have an iMac 24", using Mountain Lion. I have partitioned another section to run Windows 7 (64 bit).
    My favorite keyboard is a Microsoft 6000 wireless one.
    On startup I would ideally love to see the choice screen come up so I can choose to boot in OS X or Windows. I don't want to have to push and hold the Option key on the Apple mouse.
    When I go to system preferences I can only choose to boot in one or the other, but don't see any option to have the choice of either be automatic on start up.
    Is there a way to do it?
    Alternately I haven't been able to redefine or change the keys on my Microsoft 6000 wireless keyboard to act as the option key like on the imac keyboard.
    I tried to push and hold alt, didn't do anything. I tried the key witht he windows logo on it, same result nothing. Control key , didn't work .
    ANy suggestions appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Francesco De Santis

    I installed Quick Boot and although it's a practical way to boot once you are in one or the other partition it isn't what I'm wanting to set up. It is useful enough to keep on there though.
    When my iMac is turned off and I push the power button to turn it on the screen I want to have automatically show up is the same screen I would get if I used an apple keyboard and pushed the Option key on start up. Only I don't want to use the Apple keyboard and if I did want to use the Apple keyboard my preference would be to set up the power up so that it wouldn't boot in one or the other partition, it would not boot at all initially, just go to the screen that offers a choice in what to boot with (as if I did push and hold the Option key).
    I haven't tried Boot Runner, because I don't want to spend $10 only to find out it runs like Quickboot.
    I read a bit on rEFlnd but there was quite a bit there to digest and got intimidating. If it will do what I want to set up I would take the time to get past my "intimidation" barrier. Anybody know if rEFlnd will do it?
