I have the following SQL statement in SQL Reporting services and would like to know how to change the parameters to be something like an and/or. What I mean is that when a person fills in more than one parameter that would have a choice of "OR"ing them or "AND"ing them by a button or something. Otherwise, it is just "OR"s them right now (unless you guys have a better idea". Thanks.
SELECT dbo.PART.ID, dbo.PART.DESCRIPTION, dbo.PART.ABC_CODE, dbo.PART.UNIT_MATERIAL_COS
dbo.PART.MFG_PART_ID, dbo.PART.USER_3, dbo.PART.USER_4, dbo.PART.USER_5, dbo.PART.USER_6, dbo.PART.USER_7, dbo.PART.USER_8,
dbo.VENDOR_PART.VENDOR_PAR
FROM dbo.PART LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.VENDOR_PART ON dbo.PART.ID = dbo.VENDOR_PART.PART_ID LEFT OUTER JOIN
dbo.VENDOR ON dbo.VENDOR_PART.VENDOR_ID = dbo.VENDOR.ID
WHERE (dbo.PART.ID = @part_id) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_3 = @Parameter1) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_4 = @Parameter2) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_5 = @Parameter3) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_6 = @Parameter4) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_7 = @Parameter5) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_8 = @Parameter6)

Something like:
WHERE
CASE WHEN @WhereParameter = 'OR' THEN
(dbo.PART.ID = @part_id) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_3 = @Parameter1) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_4 = @Parameter2) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_5 = @Parameter3) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_6 = @Parameter4) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_7 = @Parameter5) OR
(dbo.PART.USER_8 = @Parameter6)
ELSE
(dbo.PART.ID = @part_id) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_3 = @Parameter1) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_4 = @Parameter2) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_5 = @Parameter3) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_6 = @Parameter4) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_7 = @Parameter5) AND
(dbo.PART.USER_8 = @Parameter6)
END
you can also use dynamic SQL which is how I have seen most things like this done. Samples are here

Its a little harder to understand but much more powerful than a case statment. It may not be fully needed in this case but if you had more choices that 2 (say 30 or so) it would be much better than writing the same code 30 times and changing one word.

Are you asking about how to do this in SQL or how to do this through the reporting interface. If you question is about the interface it will not support that. YOu will need to write an app, call the report and render it in a report viewer control.
