Is there a way to find out if the user entered the date in correct format for the report parameter? For example, I am using string data type and requring the user to enter date in yyyy/mm/dd format. Can I capture and prompt the user accordingly if the date string is not provided in the above format?

Is it possible to include a text/string as suffix(append to the end of textbox) to an report parameter prompt string ? Something like this
Enter Date: [ Textbox ] format:mm/dd/yyyy
Enter Age:[Textbox ] e.g 50
I need to include text like the one that I have highlighted in blue. Could someone help me out?
Hi,
I have used Data Flow component that refers to named query of data source view. It is a OLE DB source.
The SQL Command property of data flow component shows SELECT * FROM Tablename as I defiend in named query. I have modified the query to accept a parameter as SELECT * FROM Tablename WHERE Status = ?
Now I need to pass the package variable to this parameter. How to I pass using ParameterMapping property?. What is correct way of passing the parameter mapping ? I tried with @[TestNS:tatus] variable. But it throws error The parameter mapping string is not in the correct format.
Thanks in advance
In my report I have two date parameters, both are of type DateTime.
The problem is that when the report is called for the first time the report parameter value is not shown in the expected format (de-DE, 01.01.2007) but in en-US 01/01/2007
Only when I change a Date using the calendar popup and click on the "show report" button, the right format will be taken over.
Language properties of the report are"=User!Language"
IE language is de-DE.
Report Server is a MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Standart Edition SP2
with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP2
P.S.
on a server with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP1, this report works fine.
may be this bug is a new feature of SP2?
I understand that Multi-Select Parameters are converted behind the scenes to an In Clause when a report is executed. The problem that I have is that my multi-select string parameter is turned into an in claused filled with nvarchar/unicode expressions like:
Where columnName in (N'Value1', N'Value2', N'Value3'...)
This nvarchar / unicode expression takes what is already a fairly slow-performing construct and just drives it into the ground. When I capture my query with Profiler (so I can see the In Clause that is being built), I can run it in Management Studio and see the execution plan. Using N'Values' instead of just 'Value1', 'Value2','Value3' causes the query performance to drop from 40 seconds to two minutes and 40 seconds. It's horrible. How can I make it stop!!!?
Is there any way to force the query-rewriting process in Reporting Services to just use plain-old, varchar text values instead of forcing each value in the list to be converted on the fly to an Nvarchar value like this? The column from which I am pulling values for the parameter and the column that I am filtering are both just plain varchar.
Thanks,
TC
I am using a query to grab information about the parameters of stored procedures. I am trying to determine if a parameter has a default value. I have tried adding a default value to the parameter of the stored procedure, but the returned value of params.has_default_value stays at zero. What is going on?
Here's the query to pull the stored procedure information:
SELECTprocs.name as ProcName,
params.name as ParameterName,
types.name as ParamType,
params.max_length,
params.precision,
params.scale,
params.is_output,
params.has_default_value

Help desperately needed for SQL noobie..
I need to check long strings and only allow them through if they contain alpha-numeric characters and selected other characters (apostrophe, comma, colon, full stop), and reject all other strings.
So in pseudocode (very roughly) :
FOR EACH character in string
IF( character not alphanumeric AND character not valid character )
reject string
(end loop)
Accept string
What is the best way to do this in T-SQL?
Many thanks for any help,

Is there a difference between doing this:
Code Snippet@sortExpression nvarchar(100) = '[StartDate]',
And this:
Code Snippet@sortExpression nvarchar(100),
...
IF LEN(@sortExpression) = 0
SET @sortExpression = '[StartDate]'
???????
And if they do achieve the same thing, which is better?
It seems better to ME to set the default value.
Thanx in advance for your replies...

Request is to have a Requirement number from the requirement form generate a report in Reporting Services with the requirement number as a filter.
I can set up the parameter - how does the value get there? Should I be asking this question in the Visual C# group?
Thanks!

Originally got this error as the reason some of my .rptproj files could not be converted from SRS 2000 to 2005. Now I€™m getting this error when checking out a report from Visual Source Safe 6.0€¦any clue as to what it means?
Project item '4294967294' does not represent a file.
This is for a solution created and stored in VSS using VS2003 and SRS 2000. Now trying to open with VS 2005.
While exporting a SSRS 2005 report in CSV format ,can we include the report headers and footers also to be exported .
Thanks .
Hello,
since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest]
@Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS
BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON
set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table'
if (@Name <> '')
begin
set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + ''''
end
EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery
end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created:
-the shared data source with the connection String
- a data set :
CommandType = Stored Procedure
Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest
When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter...
So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name
allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
What is wrong? What I forgot??
Thankx for any help!

I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax. Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.
Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter. However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure. Is it? Thanks
I am using report builder 3.0.
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
I have created a menu report listing available reports and am setting the Jump to settings of each text box in the list to take the user to the relevent report. But I am having a problem setting up drill down to reports with multivalued parameters.
What I want to happen when the user drills down is for the report to open up with no parameter values selected. This works for single value parameters where I have set Null as the default value. But I have not been able to figure out how to do this with MVPs. Does anybody know if this is possible?
As a workaround I have been using Jump to URL (rather than Jump to report), which has no problem opening the report without having to pass any values for the MPV. But I do not like using this as I use different DEV/UAT and PROD environments so would have to amend the URL for each environment.
Seems like this should be possible... Any idea?
Cheers, Mike
PS: I should add I can Jump to reports with MVP without specifying a parameter in development studio but not when the report is published.
OK, I'm pretty sure that the answer to my questions is "no", but the boss is pushing, and I thought I'd double check.
I want the selection of one report parameter to decide what shows up for another report parameter. Specifically in my case it has to do with dates. I have narrowed the results down to monthly dates, meaning that the starting dates always start with mm/1/yyyy and the ending dates are always mm/31/yyyy (for a 31 day month).
The boss wants the ending dates to always be >= the month of the starting dates. So, if the user choose 1/1/2007 for starting, the minimum ending date would be 1/31/2007, etc.. Since the parameters are loaded at report initiation, and SSRS isn't really event driven, I didn't think this was possible. I just wanted to make sure before I tell the boss that it's not. Please advise.
I have to convert From Sybase to SQL Server and I've got fields type in Sybase which are long varchar (length around 60000).
At first, I convert in format text but SQL Server refused to pass this type for parameters in stored procedures when i need that. So I have used varchar(8000) in stored procedures. But I'm afraid it would be truncated in the application.
So what is long varchar in SQL Server and how to use that by optimistic way ?
Thanks

Hi,
How to control the Datetime Parameter's format, such as I need the user input Date and Time, but default, the user can only select date, but can not input the time.
How to solve it?
Thank you.
Hi all, i am a newbie to reporting services. Hope someone can help me with this date problem.
I have a parameter date which i declared as type string in the report manager. when i entered the date as eg) "31/12/2003" and clicked on the 'preview' tab in the report manager, it gives me error saying that 'Cast from string "31/12/2003" to type 'Date' is not valid.'
So i use the cultureinfo function to set the date to 'en-US' format.... something like the one below:
CStr( Format(DateTime.Parse( Parameters!strDateTo.Value , New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US")), "dd-MMM-yyyy"))
This works perfectly in my preview tab. But when i deployed to the server and when viewed on IE, it gives me an error msg -> "#Error" instead. Why is that so??
I have also checked my pc regional settings . It's set to United States and the date format is also "dd/MM/yyyy". Have also checked the settings in the server and it's also set to the same format. But i am still getting this error.
By the way... i am using windows 2003 with SRS 2000 SP2.
Any help will be appreciated. Thks !
I have datetime parameter but SSRS used mm/dd/yyyy format.
How can I change to dd/mm/yyyy format ?
in dataset I used convert(datetime,@dateparam,103) but I get error if I select for example 14/03/2008
"The value provided for the report parameter 'dateparam' is not valid for its type
Here's tricky one.
I have a fairly complex report that was given to me that was hard coded for single parameters. There is a dropdown for each market (created from a query in SSRS). The users have to run for each market each week.
Is there a way to use this report as a Sub-report inside a list of a master report and then use a mult-value parameter?
I want this multi-value parameter to build the values for the list and then run the "sub-report" for each value.
Essentially, I want to create a for each loop.
Any ideas?
I am working on reports in SSRS 2008 (not R2)... There are some reports with parameters that are hidden when the report is accessed through normal URL using ReportViewer.asx..The thing is that these hidden parameters need to be visible when the report is accessed using SSRS Report Manager.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am extracting RS reports through a WebService:
report = execService.Render("EXCEL", null, out extension, out mimeType, out encoding, out warnings, out streamIds);
Some works fine but some are generating the following SoapException:
Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter. ---> Error during processing of €˜ReportParameterTime€™ report parameter.
I set required parameters to their default values. In this specific report I have two required parameters:
1: ReportParameterTime, String
2: ReportParameter1, String
I set them to their default values (ReportParameterTime to "[Czas].[Kalendarzowy].[Rok].&[2007]" - means
Time Calendar Year 2007) but I am getting the exception above. I set parameters using this code:
execService.SetExecutionParameters(parameterValues.ToArray(), CultureInfo.CurrentCulture.Name);
Where parameterValues is a List<ReportExecution2005.ParameterValue>.
When I am using Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportViewer the report is generated without
any problems. I can see one parameter to choose: "Kalendarzowy" (means adj. Calendar) and can
select years, the default value is "2007".
What am I doing wrong and how can I fix this error ? Does anybody know ?

Hi,
I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter. When I navigate to the second report, I don't pass any parameters, but I get an error "parameter is missing a value" for the multi-valued report parameter. I have it setup as allow "multi-value" and "blank value". Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.
