Prompt Parameter in Ad Hoc Reports

Can i do this?
In the filter window, i want to add a field and make it into a prompt. But
then when the users run the report they should have the ability to not select
anything from the prompt and hence see the report for all values of that
field...On Feb 27, 11:47 am, Tk_Neo <T...@.discussions.microsoft.com> wrote:

One way of doing it is to create a report parameter for the filter
options (incl. no filter as an option) and either use the report
parameter value selected to filter with -or- use the report parameter
in the query or stored procedure to filter the results. Hope this
helps.
