Hi,
I have multiple databases in my server and all of the tables are the same in those databases. I designed my report for a specific database and I am changing the datasource with parameters. When I click edit parameters; I am choosing server and database names. But I dont want to see db names in drop-down. I have seperate table and in that table I have db names in one column and other column includes the names that I want to see in drop-down. Is there a way to do that? Thank for your helps in advance.
Hi @Byzbkr ,
You can refer the following links to get it by creating parameter table.

Best Regards
Thanks. But with this option we can just create list with the existing database names. For example, our SQL database name is "1234_2021" but while I am choosing my database name in parameters pane from the list I want to see "Apple" instead of "1234_2021". How can I do that in query? Can you give me an example query for that issue?
