If you are talking about passing report parameters through VF in customer portal, then this should be easy. I am doing the same by retrieving the parameters in my controller using getter and setter and then generating a report string and displaying using iframe or redirect. We just need to add the VF page to the Customer Portal profile.

Thanks

I am displaying reports in client portal and while displaying the report we see all the ugly filter parameters like all the account ids i had passed and all the years and months I was passing.
Is there a way to add a parameter to my report string which would hide the filter parameters or any other way would do too.
By the way I am using iframe for displaying the reports.

Great post, this is exactly what I was looking for to pass multiple parameters… Thanks for the post.

I’ve been using this for years – thanks for posting! I find it very helpful in conjunction with Firefox’s keyword shortcuts.

Our marketing group recently needed a way to pass a parameter to a report via “Connect for Office” (the Excel plugin that is supported by Salesforce). The only way I could figure it out is to write a little macro that uses your pv0 trick (see below). It’s still in the works, but thanks for posting your trick!
