We have a report that has about five different parameters. One of the parameters is a float value and we have a default value set at 999,999,999.00 and the report parameter accepts this value. The other parameter (a string) has a default value set at 0, however it is not showing up in the textbox for that parameter. The parameter is non-queried and is just a report parameter.
When we preview the report, it is there. Once we deploy the report to the report server, it is not. Now, the development machine is using SP2, but the Report Server is still at SP1. Could this be the problem? If it is, why would the float default value display and the string default value not?
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 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 trying to select some values as default for a parameter, I add my data set,add my parameter then I  select the values in the default pane, when I run the report I get :
'the default value expression for the query parameter contains an error[BC30451] name is not declared.
When I look at the expression of the default parameter (in the report data pane under the specify values) it appears like
=new Object() {[Sty].[ST].&[1], [Sty].[ST]..&[15]} with a red scrible under the ()Â
I am trying to write a query for the default values for month, and I am stuck in bringing out only the parameter values, the query I have , brings back the month on row and value on column, and I am trying to get the value out. and will ssrs accept it as a valid expression for a default value
WITHÂ MEMBER [MEASURES].[PARAMETERVALUE] AS [Account].[Month Short Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
[Code] .....
I tried using the exp
=Parameters!MONTH.Value(0)
so as to return the first parameter in the parameter dataset , but i have the error the expression that ref the parameter MONTH does not exists in the parameter collection.
The third parameter (True) means to overwrite the file if it exists.
I'm having a problem when I update an existing RDL file. When adding the RDL for the first time, the Reporting Server appears to hang on to the default values for the parameters. Overwriting an existing RDL file doesnt update these "cached" parameters.
So my first thought is to delete the report on the server before uploading the RDL file. But the web service only has a "DeleteItem" method which causes all schedules, tasks, etc associated with the report to be removed, which is definitely something I DONT want ;-)
I need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1 available values: from query default values: non query (specify a value "<None>") Parameter 2 available values: Non query (no value specified) default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
I want to set the default parameters for a function. I;d like to set the date start date to current date and end date for the last 90 days. how to make this work?
Create Function HR.Equipment ( @startdate Date =(Convert(Date,DATEADD(DAY,-1,GETDATE())), @enddate Date = (Convert(Date,@StartDate-90) ) RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN ( SELECT EquipID, EmpName, IssueDate FROM HR.Equipment WHERE IssueDate <=@StartDate and IssueDate >=@EndDate ) GO
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 have a dataset listing distinct values for items (like 1, D10, M4, etc.) The WHERE statement in my query refers to unit IN(@Unit). I then have 2 report parameters to select 1) a date (datetime); and 2) a multivalue parameter to select one or all of the "units". I would like the second parameter to default to "Select All". Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm sure this is a fairly simple thing but I am really struggling. The report parameter is set as multivalue; My "available values" is set to "from query" and refers to my "unit" dataset and the value and label fields are set to "unit" (only field I bring into this particular dataset). The "Default Values" section is set to "from query" , the dataset is set to "unit" and the value is set to "unit". I can preview the report and select a date but the list of units comes up with all boxes unchecked, including "Select All". Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value? Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)... I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school. I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table). I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school. Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up... The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'. The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid. ...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter? Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
I have a parameter (hidden) that gets its value using an expression base on another parameter. When in the designer, the first time when the designer loads I can select the Parameter that controls the child parameter (expression lies in the default value section). The value changes.
When I change the parent parameter again, the value of the child parameter does not seem to change.
How can I make this parameter change automatically when the parent is changed ?
If I have a Select statement like this in my C# code: Select * From foods Where foodgroup In (@foodgroup) And I want @foodgroup to have these values ... "meat", "dairy", fruit", what is the correct way to add the parameter? I tried meat, dairy, fruit 'meat', 'dairy', 'fruit' but neither worked. Is this possible?
I have a report parameter that may contain one item or it may contain more than one item. Is there a way I can default the parameter if it contains one item, to that item. But have no default if there is more than one option?
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.

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 FROMsys.procedures procs LEFT OUTER JOINsys.all_parameters params ONprocs.object_id = params.object_id LEFT OUTER JOINsys.types types ONparams.system_type_id = types.system_type_id ANDparams.user_type_id = types.user_type_id WHEREprocs.is_ms_shipped = 0 ANDprocs.name = 'webservices_BENEFICIAL_USES_DM_SELECT' ORDER BYprocname, params.parameter_id
Here's the stored procedure: ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[webservices_BENEFICIAL_USES_DM_SELECT] -- Add the parameters for the stored procedure here @DISPOSAL_AREA_NAME DISPOSAL_AREA_NAME_TYPE = 'a' AS BEGIN -- SET NOCOUNT ON added to prevent extra result sets from -- interfering with SELECT statements.

I have a report that a user can enter parameters in. If the user opens the report the parameter box is at the top and expanded. The report is also linked to by another report, so when a user clicks on something in this other report it becomes the parameter for the one I'm having the problem with. The problem is the user can select the number of days that are displayed, so when I link from the other report I just pass 10 by default, but now in the report the parameter box is collapsed and I'm worried that users won't find it. Is there a way to force it to be expanded? Sorry this is probably confusing to read.
I'm having a problem showing my boolean default parameter on report server in our test environment.
The report server shows my boolean parameter with a yes and no radio button. I assigned my boolean parameter with a 'No' default. The default shows and runs fine when I run the report within Visual Studio.(I hope I'm using the correct terminology.) However, on the report server the 'No' radio button is not checked by default. What am I doing wrong?
Does anybody know how to set the parameter's default value dynamically?
I'm working on a report with some parameters against datacube, and I hope the default value of one of the parameters could be set dynamically based on the user's login.
While converting Crystal reports to Reporting services I noticed that the existing crystal reports puts todays date as default value for the date parameter. Users also want it that way. I was unable to find a way to put a default value for a parameter in SSRS. I am a newbie in this so may be I missed something.
I am trying to set the default date in my datetime parameter to yesterday's date, so the user does not have to select using the datepicker calendar. I am using Visual Studio 2005.
I put the following code into the Report Parameters non-queried default values function line, but it adds the timestamp to the date.
=DateAdd(€?d€?, -(WeekDay(Now()))+1, Now())
How can I get yesterday's date to default but without the timestamp?
