Distinct Filter in SQL Reporting Services

Hello All,

I've got a stored proc that I can't change that creates a quite large
dataset and takes in 5 parameters. I need to be able to have each of
the parameters selectable from a drop down box so that as you go
through the list of parameters you restrict the results. I have it
able to load the parameters but I end up with this:

Location-
LONDON
LONDON
LONDON
NEW YORK
NEW YORK
NEW YORK
NEW YORK
TORONTO
TORONTO
...

Any idea how i can filter the list of locations by distinct? from
within SQL Reporting Services. I tried a temp tbl in query analyser
and that works but SQL reporting services doesn't like it.Nevermind, It seemed to work the second time i tried to run the query
in reporting services.

BEGIN

CREATE TABLE #temptbl2
(
EnddateVARCHAR(50),
ProjectNumber VARCHAR(50),
ProjectManager VARCHAR(50),
resourceManager VARCHAR(50),
CostCentreVARCHAR(50),
WorkInProgressFLOAT
)

INSERT INTO #temptbl2
EXECUTE jmpwipreportbasic '09/09/2009'

SELECT DISTINCT costcentre FROM #temptbl2

DROP TABLE #temptbl2

END

Maybe this will help someone else.
