Prompt for Contact, then use Contact in Report Filter

Is it possible to setup a report that, when ran, it prompts the user for a Contact, and then uses that Contact in the report filter?

Is it possible to use a 'prompt then filter' in a Grid without hard coding the contact info in the filter?

    Not exactly a prompt, but you can:

    • Set up a column with a dropdown list
    • Select a cell to use as your selected value
    • Create a helper column of type checkbox and put a formula in it that checks the box when the value in your Contact column matches the selected value in the dropdown cell
    • Create a filter that filters on the helper column being checked.

    I hope that helps.
