Parameter dependence

GyJ

Hi All,

Being quite new to BIRT I would like to ask you whether or not it is possible to do the following with two sets of parameters. The first parameter would select to run the report on monthly, quarterly, half-yearly or yearly basis, while the second parameter would display a selection list according to the choice of the first parameter.

E.g. if the user select quarterly as the first parameter, the second parameter would display in a list e.g. Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4 as possible options or similarly if the user would go for the half-yearly option as first parameter choice, the second parameter list would display H1 and H2 as available choices. In the dataset I have a table with columns named monthly, quarterly, half-yearly and yearly having the relevant content of e.g. Q1, Q2 ... for quarters or H1, H2 for halves.

In case this question would not make any sense, and you are still kind enough to respond, I could rephrase it or provide some example demonstrating my problem.

Thanks a lot and best regards, Janos

You should be able to do that with cascading parameters.

I have attached a very simple example using birt-report-designer-all-in-one-3_7_2 and classic models DB.
