Cascading Parameter with Multiple Values

Hello,
There has a problem with me.
I'm design a BIRT report, and use two Parameter
for example
Parameter one had three values : A, B, C
Parameter two had ten values : A1, A2, A3, A6, B2, B5, B8, C2, C4, C9
If Parameter one I choose A,
Parameter two choice value only need show A1, A2, A3, A6

If Parameter one I choose B,
Parameter two choice value only need show B2, B5, B8

If Parameter one I choose C,
Parameter two choice value only need show C2, C4, C9

And Parameter two can allow multiple choice,
I had try to use Cascading Parameter, but Cascading Parameter only support single choice value
Have any function can do this?
Thx

I am using BIRT 2.2.2 and you can do this:

go to the Advanced Properties of the cascaded parameter(second level) and
change the "Scalar parameter type" property to multi-value option.
You should be able to do a multiple selection now.

Hope this helps!

You solved the problem of cascading parameter with multiple selection. At least at the last level we can have multiple values using your solution.

cheers

Hi,

I used the above suggestion for selecting multiple values in first level of cascading . I am able to select multiple values in first level , but data corresponding to first level multiple values are not reflecting on second level.

just take an example. Suppose I have 2 cascading parameters one is Country and second is States. When I select one country from the drop down list then only corresponding states are populated in states dropdown. But I have a requirement like I need to select more than one country and all corresponding states should reflect on the states dropdown. As per your suggestion on the above I used scalar type as multiple type. Its allowing me to select multiple values in country drop down but its not reflecting all values on state drop down, if I select 2 states [US and India] at a time then only US states are reflecting in states dropdown, its not reflecting the second country like India. It just taking the country whichevere selected first. So please guide me how can I reflect all the states from all the countries slected in country dropdown.

Thanks Prachi

This question has been asked a long time ago, i have the hope that with new Birt Versions we would be able to do this now.

I am looking for Multiple Values Cascading parameters at any level of the cascading.

I am already using in all my reports Mutliple Values parameters, using script on the BeforeOpen of the DataSet. Now what i would like, is to link some parameters between them.

I have groups & people, those 2 data are linked between them. I would like to be able to choose 2 groups in my first parameter and to have my second list refreshed with members of the 2 groups.

Any solution ?

Thanks in advance for your help
