There are a lot of resources out there. Just using google I found several articles including a question here on SO.

Can a stored procedure have dynamic parameters to be used in an "IN" clause?

T-SQL Stored Procedures Using Parameters

If you post some your stored procedure, then it will give a better idea of your code.

Here is an example from the MSDN website:

USE AdventureWorks2008R2;
GO
CREATE PROCEDURE HumanResources.uspGetEmployees 
    @LastName nvarchar(50), 
    @FirstName nvarchar(50) 
AS 

    SET NOCOUNT ON;
    SELECT FirstName, LastName,Department
    FROM HumanResources.vEmployeeDepartmentHistory
    WHERE FirstName = @FirstName AND LastName = @LastName;
GO

Then executing it

EXECUTE HumanResources.uspGetEmployees N'Ackerman', N'Pilar';
-- Or
EXEC HumanResources.uspGetEmployees @LastName = N'Ackerman', @FirstName = N'Pilar';
GO
-- Or
EXECUTE HumanResources.uspGetEmployees @FirstName = N'Pilar', @LastName = N'Ackerman';
GO
-- Or, if this procedure is the first statement within a batch:
HumanResources.uspGetEmployees N'Ackerman', N'Pilar';
