Is it possible to create cascading parameters with in Report Builder? I have done this with Report Designer but i need a solution with Report Builder.
(I need the structure: First the user selects the state, afer the postpack the cirties of the state are listed in another dropdownlist for selection).
Thanks in advance
I run these stored procedure to build the report and I am able successfully to build the report but I need some prompts to in the report to get the specific data .
ALTER
PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sharepoint_Ticket_Report]
@StartDate
DATETIME,
@EndDate
[Code] ....
And for prompts how to create created_by and message_type dropdowns as shown in picture.
I need the ability to choose between quite a few cascading olap time query parameters for a report without my creating a report or subreport for every combination of these parameters. If the recordset were smaller perhaps I could filter it when it's passed back to the report but it's a few million. Will switching to expression-based command text and building the mdx queries in code work? I would like to be able to tell rs to remove the parameter from the query if no selections are made.

I'm trying to create report with datasource as a cube. I'm able to connect to datasource to pull data with a single parameter. But, I'm unable to succeed in creating a cascading parameter.
The following scenario:
I have a dimension "Period" as Paremeter.
The Period dimension is cascaded to year- quarter- month.
So, I would like to create a cascading parameter for period as year - quarter - month.
Please let me know, how to acheive this.
thanks,
Naveen.
After adding cascading parameters my report which was running earlier is failing. I'm using Report builder 3.0, windows 2008r2, am running the report from the server
Error message "An error has occurred during report processing.(rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'LastName' (rsErrorExecutinGcOMMAND)
Incorrect Syntax near ','."
Is there a way where i can look up the code in xml using report builder or some other way so that i can delete the extra '','.
Here is one scenario. There is Department X which has subdepartments A,B,C,D. A has 5 members and B has some 7 products, C 5 members and D has some 12 members. My problem is I need create a Report model where is if we select X
all the list of subdepartments and their members should be displayed. I.e if we select X then
A
1
2
3
4
5
B
1
2
3
4
5
C and so on..........every thing should be displayed that are under department, i.e subdepartments under that department and the members under each subdepartment of that Department.
The problem here is all those departments and subdepartments are in same table which has columns like,
"DeptId" and "Dept Reporting to" and "EmplID.
When we select "Dept Reporting to" = X, we need to get the result as I specified above
Can anyone please help me out to create a Report Model to generate ad hoc reports
Hi!
We have a "folder hiriarchy" in reporting services with permission for different users to only create reports in their own folder. However, it would be nice if they (in report builder) could open eachothers reports, modify them and then save them in theri own folder. In this case, if they find a useful report that someone else has created, they could just make their own small modifications and save it in their own folder.
The problem is that I cant't seem to find a securitysetting that allow this. Either they can create/modify/delete the reports in a "folder" or they can't even open them in report builder...
Is there a solution to my problem?

Hello -
I know that you can build a Report Designer report and add URL navigation from a field. I am trying to figure out how to do this with report BUILDER. I haven't been able to do it using the UI and editing the RDL directly to match what I see in a similar report Designer report is being ignored (if I did it right).
I can put the URL into the DSV & Model as a field/attribute, but displaying the a field with a URL in it doesn't make it "clickable".
Does anyone have a trick for this? Or know that there is definately no way to do it?
Thanks in advance,
Toni Fielder
I have a development server setup with Report Builder that our users have been testing out. They have a number of reports that they have created on this dev server.
We now have our live environment all setup and I'd like to move their Report Builder reports to the new server for them so they don't have to recreate them.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks.
I have a very simple report model with two tables in it but having millions of rows.
I have developed a report on this report model, which will return atleast half million rows.
I have published this report to report server and trying to access the report through the report manager. It never returns the result. Fails with tme out expired error. I have 64 bit machine and 2 GB RAM. The report is expected to return atleast 500 MB data. As per the SSRS documentation it the memory should be three times to process the report. It does not work.
If I develop the same report using the report designer, I get the results returnd within a minute.
If I use the above mentioned Report Model as my data source, again I get the results within less than minute.
So what is it the report builder report is doing additional? It is strange that the same report model when used as data source returns the same number of rows within less than minute and the report developed and uploaded to report manager using report builder fails with time out expired error?
What is that the Report builder doing internally? Can I change some configuration for report builder report to work for large reports? I have already changed the memory settings in the report config and machine config files.
Your early response is appreciated.

Hi.
I get a problem when I want to preview a report in Report Builder. I just launch Report Builder by the url [1] (RS is on a server, and I work on a laptop). Then I choose a model and create a simple report. When I press "Run Report", I get an error message saying: "The permissions granted to user 'mydomainmyusername' are insufficient for performing this operation. (rsAccessDenied)". But my user are assigned to content manager...
If I then save the report to the Report Server, I can access the report through e.g. the Report Manager without any problems.
Why doesn't the preview functionality work for me? Are there some settings I need to set, or is it a bug in Report Builder?

Hi,
I need to create letter type reports using the report builder, is this possible?. I am trying to create a letter that embeds some variable fields, i.e,. name, address, contact number. I can't seem to find a way to create page headers, and embed report data fields within text. Is this not possible within the report builder? it seems that the only thing you can do within the report builder is add fields to their predesignated areas. I am being forced to use the report builder instead of the report designer in order to give the end user the ability to make modifications to the report/letter. This is very frustrating. not being able to allow the user to edit report designer files, and then having force them to use report builder which doesn't seem to support some simple features..
Any suggestions would be appreciated...
Hi,
Is it possible to create optional parameters in Report Builder?
An *ordinary* parameter is created by marking a filter expression as "prompted". At run-time, the user will be asked to provide a value for this parameter (or accept a default value if it is available). This works fine. What I want is to let the user choose whether to provide a value, or leave the parameter empty. In latter case, the reports should not take the parameter into account and display all available data.
Example: I have a list of products grouped by the name of the supplier. I want users to be able to see the entire list, or narrow it down to one supplier only. So I create a free text parameter that will contain a part of the supplier's name. It works ok, but if parameter is left blank, or set to NULL, the report will display no data (all products always have their suppliers).
I tried to create a filter formula to check for empty value and bypass the filter if necessary, but the formula only allows me to use the parameter expression once. So I cannot check for empty value and apply the filter in the same expression.
As a last resort, I used the following workaround: created a new formula named "Enter 'ALL' to see all suppliers" that would return text constant "ALL". I then added another prompted filter expression for this field and grouped it with my supplier prompt using "Any of" group. User is now able to choose a supplier, or enter "ALL" to the second prompt field. This clumsy approach actually works, but then another problem emerges - although I mark both filter fields as Prompted, the Report Builder will forget this flag for one of the fields when the report is reopened. I think it could be a bug (we use SQL2005 SP1)
Anyway, it'd be nice if I could create an optional parameter as one expression, not two. Is there any way to do that?
TIA
Denis
I have created some reports using Report Builder however they autorun with default values when selected in report manager, cant think many people would want this to happen. Is there a way of getting rid of the default values in RB or preventing auto execute in RM?

Hello - I am having difficulty enabling the automatic click-through functionality for my model. I have two entities - Customer & Incident. Incident is a role/FK/OptionalMany relationship to customer.
I've read through earlier postings on this subject (below) and have verified that the #Incidents attribute in my incident entity has the EnableDrillThrough=true.
My test report is simple - Customer Name (from customer) and #Incidents (from incident). When I run it, the click-through option is not available (the cursor stays as an arrow and doesn't change to a finger).
Are there other properties or settings that I need to be working with? I have SP2 (9.0.3042) installed on our Standard edition of SQL 2005. I know Infinite Click-Through is not in Std edition, but a few levels should be, correct?
Thanks in Advance,
Toni

I am using Report Builder 3.0 and i have report which has a drill down group. The report opens in a collapsed form.This report has interactive sorting on a column. But,when we drill down and sort the column, the group collapses and the details disappear.
In some posts, i have seen that instead of interactive sorting, people recommended a parameter. But i have to do interactive sorting only.
Hi all,
I'm trying to get empty cells from an OLAP cube to display in a report designed using the Report Builder. Of the three report types, only the Table report shows the empty cells. Is there any option/setting that I need to enable to get this to work for the Matrix or Chart reports? Something like the "Show Empty Cells" option that is available in the pivot table used by BI Dev Studio?
Any help appreciated.

Does any body know that creating free form rports using Report Builder is possible?
Free-form report - in the sense - that user should be able to drag the fields from the leftside fields pane and drop on body as we do in report designer using BI studio.
I could not figure out a way to do so. Is this a limitation?
Thanks

Community:
This is my scenario: a Cube in SSAS, dimension time with an attribute "cdate" defined as datetime, model deployed using "Generate Model" option of Report Server.
Querying in Report Builder: only _date attribute of time dimension is selected. Filter use _date fields , from ...to option is selected, from the calendar I select from 1 january 2007 to 10 january 2007, results a list of dates between 1 january 2007 to 1 October 2007!!!
When I select from 1 january 2007 to 15 january 2007 the list is correct!!!
Clearly it interchange days and months in first case, and do it right in second case.
What is it about? it's about Report Server settings? SQL Server settings? .Net Settings? Windows Settings?
What do I have to do ?

I have a stored procedure that takes a date range and returns all the sales in that date range. I'm trying to create the report model for ad-hoc reporting. When I go to create the dataset view, it only lets me select tables or views.... how do I get around this?

I am trying to build a report that allows a user to enter partial text that filters the values in a drop down
For examle;
Lets say I am selecting a value from a drop down for States and I want to type in FL to filter the collection down so that only Florida appears in the select list.
I know the above example wont work since I cannot actaully enter text into a drop down, however
I have also tried to seperate this functionality by creating one report parameter for entering the search text and another parameter that will display a filtered data set using the text entered in the first parameter.
Is this something that reporting services can handle ? If it is please provide a brief example.
Thanks
Hi,
When i select datasource in Report Builder, i am able to see all the available DataSources.
Eg: I have selected one datasource from the list and which has 3 tables(table1, table2, table3) associated to that datasource.
when i drag and drop table1 fields to report, i am not able to see the other 2 tables(table2 & table3)
Is there any property or relationship do i need to maintain?
Thanks,
SR.

Hi All
I am using RS 2000. I used 2 input parameters for one of the report. The 2nd parameter is based on the 1st parameter. i.e. First Parameter is Country and 2nd Parameter is State. Based on the Country selection the list of states for the selected country will get displayed. This is working fine in Reporting services as well as report server. When deploying into the application it doesn't work.
If you have solution for this I would like to share.

Hi
I am doing report development against cube (OLAP) and I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do we achieve this in a cube environment? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1. Hope this helps. If you have questions, please let me know.
hi all,
In my report I want to make certain parameters to depend on the previous parameters. I think we can use those as cascading parameters. How to make a parameter a cascading parameter? and how to use those cascading parameter ? It would be nice of you if you can help me.
Thanking you,

I have a report that is based on 2 listboxes, the second one's values dependent on the value selected in the first box. How would I display all values in both list boxes on the report if I so decided?
Thanks,

I have 2 parameters that are of type string. The user can enter anything they want in them. The third parameter is query based and uses the first 2 parameters to get a list of people. Is there a way I can prevent the third parameter from propigating until the first 2 are both filled in? The first 2 cannot be drop downs however, they are used in a wild card fashion.
Thanks!
Hi,
I have a listbox which selects distinct brands from the products table.
Then another list box which lists all the orders with order description. Each order has a unique system generated ORDERID and the user provides the orderdescription which could be duplicate.
Depending on the Brand selected by the user in the earlier list box, only those orders containing the the brands in order details files should be available for selection in the list box.
e.g. BRands Lisbox shows: Cream A, Cream B and Cream C
If the user selects 'Cream A', then the next list box shows orderdescription as 'Cream A order for regular sale','Cream A order for exhinition sale', 'Cream A order for exhibition sale'
The problem here is that if the user selects a description which is duplicate (could be the case), then the system brings back the wrong order details.
How is it possible to allow a user to select a order description but search on the OrderID?
Thanks for the help

Hi,
I am using SQL Server 2005 reporting services. I am having a problem with Cascading Parameters. In my report there are 4 parameter . (Product Class, Product Type, Product SubType and Activites). when user open the report page he/she will have to select a value for product class depending on the selection Product Type and Sub type will be populated. So far its good, but Activities also depends on the Product Class. My question is can we have 2 parameters depend on same parameter. Here in this case Product Type and Activities both depend on the Product Class. I want only those activies in the dropdown which belongs to the Product Class that is selected.
Can anyone please give an ideas?
Thanks
