SSRS Parameters help!

Question

Dear All, sorry my last post was not written properly.
I need some urgent help creating a report on SSRS (Microsoft Visual Studio 2008)
I am currently using certain parameters to get a specific data list.
Only after this list has been created I want to use another parameter to further filter down my list
Can someone please tell me how I go about doing this?
Kind regards,
JS

Hi JS,
Just as Kishore and RSingh suggested, we can use cascading parameter to further filter down the list. With cascading parameters, the list of values for one parameter depends on the value chosen in preceding parameter.
There are two methods to create cascading parameters, please see:
Method1:
Create a new dataset query like this below:
SELECT DISTINCT field3
FROM            table_name
WHERE        field1 IN (@parameter1) and field2 IN (@parameter2)
Create parameter3 to get available values from the new dataset.
Add a new filter to the main dataset or tablix to further filter the list.
Method2:
Create a new dataset query like this below:
SELECT DISTINCT field3
FROM            table_name
Create two filters as below in the new dataset:
Expression: [field1]
Operator: In
Value: [parameter2]
Expression: [field2]
Operator: In
Value: [parameter2]
Repeat Step2 and Step3 in Method 1.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to let me know.
Thanks,
