How to add filters depending on another filter selection in SSRS

Question

I have a report with this filters:

1. Division
2. From Date
3. To Date
4. Transporter Or (Transporter - Service)

If the user select Transporter, a list of transporters appear and he can select 1 or many Transporters. If the user select Transporter - Service, a list of services (in the format Transporter1 - Service1) appear and he can select 1 or many Transporters.

How can I accomplish this in SSRS?

Any help?

Thanks

I think you are referring to cascading parameters. You will have to have a data source a list of values for Transporter and Transporter - Service. It would probably have two fields and look something like this:

Type                                  Name
Transporter                           Transporter1
Transporter                           Transporter2
Transporter - Service                 Transporter1 - Service1
Transporter - Service                 Transporter1 - Service2

There is a good tutorial for cascading parameters on Technet

Basically, The value of the parameter for type will be used to filter the query for the name parameter.
