Filtering on Boolean Values

Hi,


I want to filter a report on a boolean value but have the choice of true, false, or both. I have a column in a sales table that is called "primary admission" and a sale either includes "primary admission" or not. I'm doing summary numbers and I want the user to be able to choose to have "primary admission", "not primary admission", or both. What's the best way to do this?


Thanks,

Hi Dwayne,


It seems that the best way to do this will be to create a view level calculated field that converts this boolean to a string so that you can use an "IN LIST" filter type.


Does this sound like it will work in this case?
