Hi,
Do we have any way to create Drill filters in Crystal reports (I am using Crystal 2008)?

thanks

In Crystal, the nearest equivalent are parameter fields.

The main issue with parameters is that they are completed BEFORE the report queries the database and before the report runs. You can use parameters in the select expert, in formulas or they can be placed on the report.

Any parameter you create and use in crystal will be prompted for before the report runs.

Hope this helps.

Hey…thanks for the swift reply

I want to run data for all the parameters without any prompts and wanted to see data based on some drill filters similar to what we do in Web intelligence report.

Whether drill filter is possible in Crystal reports or we have only one option to filter the data i.e. go through the prompt selection before run the report? Please advice.
