Using a file to imput filter values

[Former Member]

Hi I am new to CR. Our past tool had the capability of using a file with the all the values for a filter. I have not been able to find this on Crystal Reports. The list can be quite long so I do not want to be inputting the values into the filter one by one.

Cheers

if you create your parameter as type dynamic

you can then select a file to import the values.

i have used xls files before.

if these values wont change this a good way to go, if they do change such as customer name etc. i dont recomend using that. it is a lot of maintenance.
