1202605 - How to display only one prompt parameter in Crystal Reports based on two universe queries which use a similar filter

Symptom

  • Create a Crystal report with two queries from a universe.
  • The two queries use the same dimension as their filter when adding these two queries to the report data source.
  • Place some fields from queries into the report.
  • When you refresh this report, you are prompted for two parameters with the same name.

Can you merge these two parameters into one?

Resolution
