Can You Force A Refresh Of The Default Values Of Your Parameters?
Aug 1, 2006
This is regarding Report Services 2005 designing the report in Visual Studio.
Currently I am using a query to populate 2 date selectors in the parameter section at the top of a report. The start and end dates are determined by a query which returns the values based on yet another parameter. If I change the value of the paramter which is supposed to be used by the date selectors they don't seem to feel the need to re-calc themselves. I have 3 other dependent param's in the same report which behave reasonably.
Has anyone seen this before or is there way to somehow force a parameter re-caluclation?
A have a multi-valued parameter (B) which is dependent on a single-valued parameter (A) on my report. When a value is selected in A, I want all matching values in B to be selected by default and the "Select All" option checked. To do this I have set the Default Values section in B to point to the same dataset as the "Available Values" section. Both A and B have default values so the report runs automatically.
One of the values in parameter A (say Value1) yields more values in parameter B than the other (say Value2).
If I run the report the first time with Value1 selected as the default for parameter A, all values in B are checked correctly. If I run the report with Value2 selected the first time and then change the selected value to Value2 and run my report, all values in B are displayed but only the values that were previously checked (when Value1 was selected), are now checked, leaving the "Select All" unchecked.
What am I doing wrong? Why are all the values in B not checked? The dataset is the same in "Available Values" section and "Default Values" section.
I'm generating a list of parameters needed by stored procedures, and I'd like to know which ones have default values assigned to them. To retrieve the parameter information I use:
sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser''
However, the column that is supposed to give the default value, 'COLUMN_DEF' always returns as NULL, even when that column has a default value assigned to it. i.e. CREATE PROCEDURE InsertUser@UserID INT = 10,.....
And then if I do a sp_sproc_columns @Procedure_Name='InsertUser'', the COLUMN_DEF value for the @UserID column is still NULL.
Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong and how I can retrieve the default value?
I have created a report, and am setting default values for the parameters. Once the default parameters is set, the report automatically generates. Is there a way to make it not automatically generate the report? We are setting the parameters with values that will get the end user the most recent data, but alot of times, they will want to pull older data as well. We don't want them to have to wait for the report to automatically generate before they can change the parameter values
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters). Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension . Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007". But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All". Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
I have report parameters B with default from query.
This query depend on other report parameters A that updates befor report parameter B.
While user open the report and update report parameter A, the report parameter B get default value with the right default value but when user change his selection in parameter A, the default value in parameter B doesn't changed
I have two parameters on a report, which are independent of one another, yet when I change one, the current report refreshes, and I'm left with a blank screen. What is causing the refresh behavior on this report? It appears as though it is treating them as cascading parameters, but I don€™t use one to filter the other. Since the report has default values, when first navigating to the report, it displays just fine. I would like the user to be able to change the first parameter without the report refreshing to a blank screen. Once it refreshes, they can click on the €œView Report€? button and see the report, but I would like for the current report to stay there, which is the case on my other reports, until they click the button. Any ideas?
I want the following query to return a row even when table 'X' is empty. How would I do this? SELECT TOP 1 @Var1, @Var2, @Var3 from X The parameters @Var1, @Var2 and @Var3 are passed to the stored procedure in which the above query is included. When table is empty, it reurn nothing. It only return a row when table is not empty.
I have my stored procedure set to Territory_code IN (@Territory)
, now , how do i enter in more then one value. When i select the multi value check box, it gives me more spaces. But then doesnt recognize the values when i put in more then one. am i doing something wrong?
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
I know I can find out what parameters does a stored procedure have via either sp_help or INFORMATION_SCHEMA.PARAMETERS, I can get the types, the lengths or precisions ... what I do not seem to be able to get is which of those parameters are required and which ones have a default value. I mean:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.Foo ( @Required Int, @Optional Int = 0 ) AS ...
Is there any way to get this information (preferably together with the default value) short of parsing the output of sp_helptext?
I have a requirement like I need to have default values for all my parameters in my report. But Report should not run on the initial load. Is that possible?
I have a requirement like I need to have default values for all my parameters in my report. But Report should not run until i click the view report button.Currently It will load the data automatically on initial load when all the parameters are provided. Is that possible to restrict load of report data?
In my report, I have set the default parameters such that it is supposed to automatically render when the page loads. I have set the defaults in Report / Report Parameters and it even works in the preview pane, however, when I deploy the report, the defaults are not set.
This report has subreports, and I've tried setting their defaults. Has anyone come across this?
Hi all, I have a MDX query that has been put together from a Analysis Services Cube in Reporting Services, as below: SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[MM Document Count], [Measures].[FI Document Total], [Measures].[MM Document Total], [Measures].[FI Document Count] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Year].[Financial Year].ALLMEMBERS * [Lookup Financial Period].[Financial Period].[Financial Period].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGSIt has a parameters @LookupCompanyCodeCompanyCode, which creates the following dataset query: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME' MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL' SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [SAP Document Analysis Doc Totals MM FI] Within the Report Parameters it is set with as being a Multi value parameter and default value for return all records: [Lookup Company Code].[Company Code].[All] This work fine when previewing report & when I build. Problem is when I drop a report viewer control in VWD 2005 and attach this report, it does not run with the default values when the page loads. Does anyone have a idea what I might be doing wrong? or/and how would i pass a value from a listbox extbox to the parameter and then run the report? Thanks in advance Kevin
When I call a proc with one input parameter and two output parameters, (all the three parameters having defaults in the proc), I was expecting to see these values defaulted to in the proc. But apparently, this not the case. Could someone tell me what am I doing wrong here? Appreciate your time.
USE Pubs GO
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.MyTestProc (@InputParamVARCHAR(30) = 'Input', @OutPutParam1VARCHAR(30) = 'OutputParam1' OUTPUT, @OutPutParam2VARCHAR(30) = 'OuputParam2' OUTPUT) AS BEGIN SELECT @InputParam, @OutPutParam1, @OutPutParam2 END GO
I have 9 parameters which all have defaul values and 1 that does not, 4 of them show the correct default but 5 of them state <Select a Value>.
I have copied the report project to another pc and the same problem occurs.
I have tried deleting 'reports' and 'reportserver' from iis and recreating them, as well as deleting the actual report from http://localhost/Reports/Pages/Folder.aspx [then selecting 'show details' and deleting and redeploying the report].
I have even tried toggling the default values on/off. I am at a loss, I can only think that the report project file(s) need to be manually amended in some way. There is nothing significantly different between the parameters to justify them not defaulting
Hello, does anyone know how to determine (within the stored procedure)whether a parameter has been passed explicitly to a stored procedure asopposed to a parameter that has taken on the default value.Many thanksPhil
My report has default values for all parameters (ofcourse. which can be modified by user). When I try to view the preview, the report is running with the default values automatically. I want the report to run only when we click "View Report".
Hi,I am trying to call a user defined function(UDF) from a stored proc,using a default parameter in the called UDF (e.g. @bid_price_type int= 0 ). However the calling stored proc complains that the UDF isexpecting a 2nd parameter when I only provide the @test parametervalue. Are default parameter values supported in UDF's?I wld really appreciate anybody's help. Thankyou in advance.UDF code:CREATE FUNCTION get_bid_price (@test int, @bid_price_type int = 0)RETURNS decimal(18, 4) ASBEGINdeclare @x decimal(18, 4)if (@bid_price_type = 0)beginselect @x = fieldNamefromtableNameendelsebeginselect @x = fieldName2fromtableName2endreturn @xEND' Calling Stored Proc codeCREATE PROCEDURE testASdeclare @x decimal(18, 4)set @x = dbo.get_bid_price(1)select @xGOthanks,Vic Y
I have 5 cascading parameters. They all have default values. I would like the default value of each of these to be selected when the report opens.
It currently works correctly when I preview the report, however when I deploy the report to the server it does not. In the deployed report, the default value of the first parameter is not selected. However, when I select a value for this one, on postback the rest of these parameters get set to their default value. They're all configured the same. I'm confused as to why the first one doesn't default to its default value while the others do.
Got any ideas?
Here's how I have it configured:
Allow null value CHECKED
Allow blank value CHECKED
The rest are unchecked.
Available values: From query
Default Values: Non-queried with a value supplied that exists in the dataset.
I think it has been discussed previously that having default parameter values based on expressions, e.g. a default parameter value of =Split("Bug",",") in multiple parameters will cause a postbacl whenever a user selects different values from the list.
Is this by design? Its a bit of an annoying thing. The refreshpostback doesnt happen if you have basic defaults like ="All" but only when an expression of some sort is used in more than 1 parameter. Does RS think they are linked or something, why does it need to psotback efresh?
I wanted to create a report with parameters. The users will access the reports via http://localhost/Reportserver/myReportName
Now, each user will have their own default parameters and would like to be stored(somewhere!!!) as "user preference", so nexttime when they access this report it should display data with the "user preference" parameters.
Can someone give me some advise to implement this.
In general, what is the most appropriate way to specify a "data driven" default for a report parameter. Seems to me like options are:
1. construct an expression which operates on one of the existing report datasets (possibly the same data set used to populate the defaults dropdown)
2. construct a new dataset which returns a single value which is the desired default
what's the "normal" approach?
For example, I have an MDX dataset which contains the list of dates for which data is available. There is generally some data available for today, but normally the user is interested in the most recent day with data prior to today.
So which would be the better option out of the two above (or a third option if I'm missing something!) to tell my parameter to set itself to:
"The most recent day prior to today for which data exists".
I'm trying to have a default or null value in the dropdown list of the parameters on SSRS report. The dataset is bound with the Dynamics-AX 2009 AOT query. In the screen shot below you can see that I need a show All option in the dropdown list.
I wrote a report in Visual Studio with some parameters that I gave default values to in the report definition. I deployed it out to the report server and when I look at the report Properties, Parameters section to see the default values. Instead of seeing all of the default values, I see a bunch of "Override Default" buttons. When you click the buttons, you get a blank text box in which to enter a new value.
Someone before me created a report with default values and the parameters section of that report has text boxes with the default values in them.
Does anyone know how to have the default values show up rather than those "Override Default" buttons?
HI, I am trying to set the following default parameter : datepart("m",now()). The parameter is an integer
If I do this through visual studio 2005 it works just fine. However I need to change this for a linked report and when I do the same thing in the viewer (using the "Overide Default" key) I get the following error "The parameter Month contains a value that is not valid. This parameter takes an integer as a value" Can anyone suggest a way to get arround this ?
I need to set the default value of a field in my table to 'Regular' if nothing is inserted to that field. Is it not as easy as putting ('Regular') in Default Value?
We have a table that needs to have 00 as the default values in the columns until the point in time where they are updated with the values that we will use. The updated values will be two numbers 1-7 and 3-9 example 47, 14, 26, 68. This is a nvarchar data type in the columns. When I try to set the default values to double zero 00, after i click save it changes them to a single zero 0 instead of a double zero 00.
