Hello,

I have a parameter.

I want to select location records when the 1st character of the location is equal to the parameter value.

I don’t get any errors, but I do not select any records when I know I should.

Any thoughts?

Default value of ROW below is “A”.

I know I have locations that start with “A” and I report these when the filter is off.

 

 

Hi @ltussing03 ,

Try joining INLocation and filtering on the left character of LocationCD rather than LocationID.  

Hope this helps!

Laura thanks for your help with this.  It is working now.  I needed the formula on the left side, under Data Field.  When I had tried to put it there directly it wouldn’t stick.  However, when I clicked the “Data Field Formula” button, it allowed me to enter the formula and it stayed.

Thanks again for taking the time to help with this!


Hi @ltussing03 ,

Are you possibly missing the = sign in front of your formula?

Hi @ltussing03 ,

I will try to replicate this when I have a minute, probably on Monday :)

Laura,

Thank you so much for replying!  You are absolutely right about using the “CD” inventory ID!

Unfortunately, I am still not getting any results when the filter is enabled. 

I printed my “Left” formula on the report, and dropped the filter, and it is printing the expected value of “A”.  But I still get no results with the filter enabled.

 


Laura,

Thanks for taking the time to reply on a Friday night!!

I’ve tried that as well with no results.
