Question

So with the reports i’ve created they have a set of parameters that when no specific value is past into it, then the report treats it as though you get data for all possible solutions.

Ex: you have the machine name as a parameter and you do not put in a specific machine name passed into the parameter. Then you get the data returned for all possible machine names in the database. An example of what i am talking about is below.

However when i put no value into the parameter field no value gets displayed in the report. What i would like is to have it display “All” into the field instead of it coming back as blank.

So my question is how would i go about displaying “All” where the red circle is in the report instead of it coming up as blank when no value is put in for a parameter?

any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you.

It sounds like you already have the record selection sorted. The four fields in the red circle would be like:

if hasvalue({?param}) then
 {?param}
else
 'All';

If any of them aren’t string values you may need to do:

if hasvalue({?param}) then
 cStr({?param})
else
 'All';
