Can someone tell me whether we can apply filter on list of
values in the 'Value Prompt'? e.g. I have a value prompt
(named city) and the prompting is holding around 2000
cities but I want to apply filters on cities so users can
select only 15 cities out of 2000 and then run the report.
Users should be flexible enought to select any 15 cities
from the list. Is it possible. Please advice!

Answer / sathish kumar
first you create value prompt as usual with parameter and applying the filter on city.
In the next step,you need to create the static choices to select the 15 cities among 2000.
And run your report..,
am sure you will definitively get the output.
