I’ll do one better. I’ll write this up for the next T-SQL Tuesday. Seems like a lot of people have this challenge. I’ll rustle up my old routines, grab some screenshots and ping you back.

Thanks for the comment, David. You raise interesting points. Can you point me to the table valued function you use? I would love to dig into it.

This is a fun read, but the method is quite complex and not scalable.
You need to redesign the stored proc that supports the parameter list of values as well as the datasource to the report to support XML. That derails 1 common goal of the rationale behind a stored procedure…reusability.

An approach that I have used employs a generic table valued function. That in turn can be used in any stored procedure with an IN in the WHERE clause. This requires no changes to the parameter drop downs.
