Which type of parameter will allow a user to embed data in a report?

• A. Input Value
• B. Member List
• C. Bound List
• D. Member Dialog

Answer: (A)

Input Value parameters provide a free-form input field where the user can type any value (text, number, date, etc.) to drive the report. This is exactly how you embed data into a report—by entering the value at run time rather than selecting from predefined options. Other parameter types present a fixed set of options derived from a dimension: a member list or a bound list restricts input to members from the dimension, and a member dialog offers a picker to select those members. They constrain input to existing members rather than allowing arbitrary embedded data.
