Multivalue droplist, using JOIN to display parameter labels

This exercise is provided to allow potential course delegates to choose the correct Wise Owl Microsoft training course, and may not be reproduced in whole or in part in any format without the prior written consent of Wise Owl.

Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file . Once you've done this:

Go into SQL Server Management Studio;
Open the SQL file you've just unzipped (you can press CTRL + O to do this); then
Execute this script.

This will generate the database that you'll need to use in order to do this exercise (note that the database and script are only to be used for exercises published on this website, and may not be reused or distributed in any form without the prior written permission of Wise Owl).

Create a report such that you can choose one or more film certificates from a Multivalue droplist:

You can choose one or more certificates, or click on (Select All) to choose all of them.

Unless you have a LOT of time and energy, build queries (rather than using stored procedures) for the two datasets required for this exercise - although the answer given uses stored procedures.

When you choose to view the report, you should see all of the films for that combination of certificates:

If you choose U and PG for example, you'll see this list of films (notice that we've also changed the title to show the certificates chosen).

Try seeing if you can get the choice for the drop list to default to all certificates, by setting its default values to be the same as the available values.
