Okay, so here it goes. Using Jaspersoft Sudio Pro 6.2.1. Oracle DB. I need some help on how to use a parameter that contains wildcard. In my query, i have values in a column that could contain multiple values. 1 single row containing multi values in the columns. i need to create a parameter (multi select) to get these values. if i use: AND portfolio.code LIKE '%pro_other%' within the query, this works perfectly. it will return the correct results with pro_other and then those rows that contain %pro_other%. Now, I tried to make the parameter within the jrxml: AND $X{IN, portfolio.code, portfolioKey_1} This works, however, it will only give me the specific values that ONLY have "pro_other" in the values. I have tried this: AND portfolio.code IS NULL OR portfolio.code LIKE '%' || '$P!{portfolioKey_1}' || '%' and this gives me the error: java.sql.SQLException: Execute Query fail.Execute Query fail.Invalid column index My parameter is java.util.Collection Anyone have any ideas, i would be so very grateful. Sincerely, Keri
