#### To specify single or ranges of values

1. Select the Discrete value(s) option or the Range value(s) option to specify whether the parameter field will accept a range of values.

- If you select Discrete value(s), the parameter field will accept single values (rather than ranges of values).
- If you select Range value(s), then when you are prompted for parameter values, you can enter a start value and an end value, and the report will then display all records within that range. For example, if you enter the values "5" and "10", the range is 5-10, and the report will display all records with values between 5 and 10. This also works for string parameter fields. With a start value of "A" and an end value of "E", the report will display all records within an alphabetical range
  of A-E.

  Note: If the Allow multiple values and the Discrete value(s) options are selected, the parameter field will accept multiple single values. In this case, you can enter more than one value, but these values will be evaluated individually and will not be interpreted as a range. If the Allow multiple values and Range value(s) options are selected, the parameter field will accept multiple ranges.

1. If applicable, click Set default values to select the Length limit check box to designate the length of the field. If you select Length limit:

- for a Currency or Number parameter field, the Min Value and Max Value fields appear
- for a DateTime parameter field, the Start Date-time and End Date-time fields appear
- for a Date parameter field, the Start Date and End Date fields appear
- for a Time parameter field, the Start Time and End Time fields appear.
