In statement with parameters in Crystal Report Command object - sql

Question

I am trying to modify the code of an exsisting SQL report. This report uses a command object. Currently the SQl codes says the following:
WHERE **dept.definition_id ={?Measure}**
AND (({?Period Interval}=2
AND dept_qd_later.sum_facts_id IS NULL
AND dept_qd.DENOMINATOR_QUARTER IS NOT NULL)
OR ({?Period Interval}=3
AND dept_md_later.sum_facts_id IS NULL
AND dept_md.DENOMINATOR_MONTH IS NOT NULL))
LAST
I would like to modify the "Measure Parameter" to accept multiple values. I have updated the command parameter box to accept multiple values. I have tried to modify the SQL to the below in statement:
WHERE **dept.definition_id in({?Measure})**
AND (({?Period Interval}=2
AND dept_qd_later.sum_facts_id IS NULL
AND dept_qd.DENOMINATOR_QUARTER IS NOT NULL)
OR ({?Period Interval}=3
AND dept_md_later.sum_facts_id IS NULL
AND dept_md.DENOMINATOR_MONTH IS NOT NULL)))
LAST
However, when I try to insert multiple measure IDs, the report does not run. Can someone help me figure out what I am doing wrong? I am a Crystal novice so please respond in plain language. Thanks!

I think David is right. I tried something similar with a command object and it works when entering a comma separated list into the parameter prompt. Which means that you don't need to set the "allow multiple values" option on the parameter.
If the field were a string, you would have to enter the values with quotes as if they were part of the SQL statement.
