Hi!
When writing reports in CR 2008, I usually provide parameters which can select values from a SAP table, view, or a related table.
I would like to know if it is possible to create a parameter which selects values from an Excel table.
Let me explain what I want to do:
Many users use my report developed in CR 2008. Data is on server
One parameter is called "Customer Name", and there is a lookup which lists all our Customers, so that the user can pick one.
However, all clerks are responsible for only a few customers at any time, and don't need the full list of customers.
So, I think it would help if the lookup displays only the few customers needed.
My idea is as follows:
Each clerk keeps an Excel file in his computer say at C:\customer.xlsx
This file has only 1 column, viz: CustName
In this file, each clerk lists all the customers he is dealing with.
Selection Criteria Screen will then pick up from this Excel file.
I would like to know whether this can be done, and how?
If the procedure is lengthy, just please outline.
Any alternative ideas how I can achieve my aim.
Thank you.
