General Question:
In Report Builder that comes with SQL Server 2005: Is there any way to store the value of an user-input parameter so that value can be used in separate expression used in another filter?
Specifics:
I am trying to design a report in Report Builder that prompts the user for a start and end date and then also filters out records that were approved a certain number of days after the end date. My problem is that there doesn't appear to be a way to refer to the value stored in the user-input paramers. In Report Designer, I can create the parameter in the SQL query with a line like WHERE ActivityDate < @end and I can later use @end as a variable in another comparison. However, the only way to create the input parameter is within the Filter dialog box. This is using the Report Builder version that comes with SQL Server 2005, which I assume to version 1. I suspect that later versions have corrected this problem. Am I correct in assuming that this version of Report Builder doesn't have this functionality?
