    Posted Fri April 08, 2022 02:51 PM
    Hello,
    In my report whenever I am using Multiselect with Value prompt its not working.
    But in previous reports its working.
    what may be the reason.

    Thanks and Regards,
    Priyanka

    Hi,

    Is the prompt being used to resolve a parameter in a filter expression? If so, does the filter permit multiple values - eg using an 'in' operator rather than an '=' operator?

    Cheers!

    MF.

    Hi Priyanka,

    If you are using a prompt page, you need to make sure to have the following option:
    (Note: Required is... not required, but Multi-select is required)

    and [Sales (query)].[Products].[Product line] in ?Product line? in the filter (in for multi-select or = for a single value).

    If you are using a package, you can use the Build prompt page option:

    Best regards,
