Guided Reporting: Delimited List displaying Value Items

Hi

I'm using Guided Reporting to generate a Cube View. Within the Cube View, a parameter (delimited list) is used to show / hide columns. This is working fine.

My problem is that in the Selector List, Guided Reporting is showing the Value Item (of the Delimited List) instead of the Display Item. For example, an end-user will select 'Collapsed' (Display Item) but Guided Reporting will show 'IsColumnVisible = CVMathOnly' as the Display Item.

This isn't impacting report functionality, however it looks messy.

    Hi

    Thanks for the quick reply!

    I've updated the parameter as per the above in the CV, however, when I rediscover the parameters in Guided Reporting, the parameters are no longer detected as Selector List Items.

    Is there another option?

    Thanks

    If you call your parameter like this:

    |!!YourParam!!|

    instead of like this

    |!YourParam!|

    It will show the descriptions, not the values.
