How to pass the multiplevalue parameter into SSRS by data driven subscription

Question

Hi All,
I create a table and show it in the SSRS by table
EmID Name
AA1, A
BB1, C
CC1, E
And set one parameter EmID for the user to filter the record and that Parameter Accept multiple values and the type is text.
And I create a another table for the data-driven subscription to send the report to user by email.
EmailTitle EmID  EmailComment
TestEmail  AA1,BB1,CC1    TestComment
And I set the subscription and set the EmID parameter is from EmID column, then test the subscription, it failed...
However, when I only put AA1 into the table, then the subscription works well
EmailTitle EmID  EmailComment
TestEmail  AA1    TestComment
So How I can config the above table to support subscription?
Thanks.

Hi Bimaster,
When specify a column for the parameter value in a data-driven subscription, it will be regarded as a single value. So when specify the value "AA1,BB1,CC1" as the parameter value, the subscription will fail.
The work around for this issue clear the "Allow multiple values" for the report parameter, and then change the filter
From
Expression:[ParameterName]
Operator   :In
Value         :[@ParameterName]
To
Expression:[ParameterName]
Operator   :In
Value         :Split(Parameters!ParameterName.Value,",")
In this case, we can specify a value like "AA1,BB1,CC1" from database to the data-driven subscription. I have tested it on my local host environment, it works fine.
