Prompting for parameters for Tableview

[Cosimo]

I've got a Tableview embedded in an Excel workbook and would like to be able to prompt the user to select an entity and period that is then used to filter records. Is this possible?

Yes, this is possible.

You define your parameters in a list.  "SelectEntity" could be a normal parameter i.e., Member List, Member Dialog etc. 

Then retrieve them in your Table View rule using the strings in your SQL query.

You'll then get prompted for these parameters on refreshing the Table View.

Thanks Lee. It works! What threw me off is that the documentation describes that you can create a list of parameters but fails to include that we should be returning the list back to the table view i.e. missing the "Return list" line in the code.

No problem, happy it's working.
