SSRS Parameter

I have a report with 10 items in a drop down list as a parameter. However, I want to combine certain items ahead of time and apply arithmetic  to them and pass that calculated value as one of the items in the list. Basically, I have green apples, red apples, fuji apples, oranges, pears, peaches... In the list. I want all apples to appear as apples and sum all apples together versus each specific type. Should this be done ahead of time in my query or?

You have to create Drop down source (separate by query).  Assing the Text and Value. i.e. for Apples value should be all apple in list with comma separated.

As this change you have to change the Report source (Query / SP) to cop up with the parameter change.
Thanks Valentino. Really appreciable.
No worries!  Thought I'd add a couple of words, meanwhile I enjoyed writing about fruit :)
And it looks like it got appreciated by the asker as well, so mission accomplished!
