Hi all:
Looking for advice on how to implement multiple parameters in a report book. The standard loop functionality does not meet current needs. Our reporting requires a user to specify 3 UD's to report out their area of responsibility. Each user will have multiple sets of 3 UD's to generate all of their reports. In theory, they need to 'loop over' this set of parameters generating reports for each set. However, the standard loop functionality is only 1 parameter and nested loops will generate unnecessary combinations as it would be the cartesian product of all parameters.
Example:
Anyone have suggestions on how to implement this? Is there a way to call a BR from the report book to substitute multiple variables at a time?
I envision the ideal state as:
- User populates a simple CSV file with their report sets consisting of a name, UD2, UD3, UD4, and owner
- User opens the report book
- User selects their report set CSV file
- The report book loops over each set (of multiple parameters) generating any # of reports using these parameters
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Dave
