Expanding The Multi-Valued Parameter Dropdown Menu
Aug 14, 2007
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to expand the multi-valued parameter menu object so I can display the selection list in a more user-friendly format since the text is fairly long. If left at the default setting then I have to scroll to the right to see the complete string(s). For a single-select parameter I can just CAST the string to CHAR(100) and the menu object will expand. However, it seems that this approach is not working for multi-valued parameter menu objects.
Is this a bug in SSRS, and is there another way to accomplish this. Please let me know.
Thank You!!!

Hi,
I wonder if anyone ecountered (and successfully solved) the following problem:
I have a query-based multi-valued parameter (let's call it "A"). When query that populates the parameter returns only one value and that value is a long text, then it's almost impossible to select this value through the Report Manager UI. It's because the horizontal scrollbar covers the value.
For now I have found two workarounds to this problem:
1. Cut the lenght of the Parameter Label value (Instead of 'Large Power Transformer", I show "Large Power Tran...")
2. Make the label in the multi-value dropdown smaller by using custom style sheets for report manager. I added a "LABEL { font-size: 7pt; }" section to the Htmlviewer.css and modified the RSReportServer.config file to point to the Htmlviewer.css (for info on how to do this please see: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345247.aspx)
So far I am using the No 2. workaround. Any other suggestions on final solution to that matter would be highly appreciated.

Hello,
I am attempting to create a cascading parameter.
Parameter's 1 & 2 are multi-valued.
Datasets 1 & 2 supply Parameter's 1 & 2.
The values for Parameter 1 as derived from Dataset 1 are 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' and 'E'.
The potential values for Parameter 2 will only be created if value 'C' is amongst the multiple values selected for Parameter 1.
Thus I need to write my query for Dataset 2 so that it can check the values of Parameter 1 for the existence of 'C' otherwise it returns nothing.
What is the best practice for a dataset referencing the values of a multi-valued parameter in order to generate it's resultset?
Any help is appreciated.

I want to set defaults for my multi-valued report parameter MONTH so that when the report starts, it automatically selects all the months prior to the current month (effectively creates a YTD report). However, using RS2005, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I can create an IIF expression in 12 different value entries in the report parameters that returns the month based on the system date, but the first time I pass blanks, null or anything except a valid parameter, it clears the entire parameter list when the report displays.
Does anyone have any suggestions for auto-populating multiple values in a parameter at runtime where one or more of the parameter values may be empty? Checking "Allow Null" or "Allow Blank" doesn't fix this problem.
I tried to pass all the values in a single value entry on the report parameters page, but can't find the syntax that will allow this. I'm not sure if it will let you do that anyway...

Hi,
I am creating a data set for a ROLAP report which executes a dynamic SQL using EXEC. I am finding problems parameterizing multi-valued report parameters in the SQL being executed through EXEC.
To consider a sample code:
EXEC('select * from country where country_key in ('+@country+')')
where @country is a multi-valued report parameter.
Regards,
Emil

I have a multi-valued parameter that I want to pass to a subreport. The values are 11, 12, 13, and 14.
So here's what I've done:
1. For the properties of the clickable field of the first report, I have gone to the Navigation tab and chosen the subreport in the "jump to report" pulldown.
2. Then I clicked on the Parameters button and added a parameter name for the multi-valued parameter I am trying to send. For the Parameter value, I have tried 11,12,13,14. I have also tried =Split(11,12,13,14)
3. On the subreport, I create a report parameter with the same name, data type is string, multi-value is checked, and the available values pulldown is populated by a query.
So I run the first report and click on the link that brings me to the subreport, but all the subreport shows is the results for 11, not 12, 13, and 14.
How can I get the second report to understand that I want it to show all the records related to 11, 12, 13, and 14? If I bypass the first report and simply use the drop-down to choose 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the subreport, it works fine. I just can't seem to figure out how to correctly have the first report tell the subreport that it wants 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello everybody,
I need to create a function which takes a multi-value parameter. When I select more than one item, I get the error that I have too many arguments. Does anybody have a solution?
Or can I create a view and then do a "SELECT * FROM viewName WHERE columnName IN (@param)"?
Thanks in advance for your answers.

How does one return all selected values in a multi-valued parameter? Right now i have a filter on the dataset where
(Expression)
=Fields!LOCATION_ID.Value
(Operator)
=
(Value)
=Parameters!Loc.Value(0)
This is just giving me data from the first value that is selected in the multi-valued dropdown. I need all returned from the parameter. Any ideas.

Hi There.
I have a Multi-valued parameter that is a string type and it freaks out when a do a select all from my drop down list. I suspect it has something to do with size as it works great if a pick a reasonable amount of items. My parameter list is populated by 1463 items of 12 characters each. Is there a threshold I should have to worry about?
Thanks, Mike

Hi All,
I'm unable to run the report the report with multi-valued parameter using the below StoredProcedure as dataset:
CREATE PROCEDURE spprodsales
@productid int
AS
select SalesOrderID,OrderQty,UnitPrice,ProductID
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
Where ProductID IN (@productid)
RETURN
And when I'm replacing this dataset to a query as below I'm able to run the report with multiple values selected for productid parameter :
select SalesOrderID,OrderQty,UnitPrice,ProductID
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
Where ProductID IN (@productid)
So, can anyone please help me out possibly using the same stored procedure as above.
Thanks,

Our clients working with the Firefox browser on a Mac are unable to use the Multi-Value parameter drop down lists that the Report Viewer control generates. Of course I realize that the multi-select dropdown lists are not really dropdown option lists using the standard HTML select tag, but are rather tables within div tags with cells that contain spans, inputs, and labels.
Originally the report viewer displayed these lists in the wrong position within Firefox on any platform (Mac or PC). Furthermore, there were other visibility problems with those lists that made it virtually impossible to select a checkbox within the list. Fortunately, Microsoft fixed this problem with the latest version of Report Viewer, which we downloaded from the following link:
http://207.46.19.190/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=cc96c246-61e5-4d9e-bb5f-416d75a1b9ef&displaylang=en
So currently we have SQL Reporting Services Report Viewer 9.0.21022.8 installed on our web server. And the dropdown lists do appear as expected, and they work properly in Firefox on a PC.
But, when the control is rendered in Firefox on a Mac, the list is not scrollable. The scroll bar that should appear on the right-hand side of the dropdown list, which would enable users to select values toward the bottom of the list, does not appear. That scrollbar is missing in Firefox.
This is likely related to a Firefox rendering issue with the overflow:auto style. There are numerous entries on the web that indicate Firefox for Mac has a problem with overflow:auto. For example:
http://www.webdeveloper.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-96958.html
http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread44144.html
http://iamthewalr.us/blog/2007/04/20/firefox-on-the-mac/#comment-2321
http://www.errorforum.com/mozilla-firefox-error/3503-will-float-mac-firefox-scrollbars-floating-pop-up-windows.html
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&id=187435
That being the case, it seems that there should be some workaround to address this, either via a style or through some alternate control. Or perhaps there is a property that we can apply to the ReportViewer control that I'm unaware of which addresses this.
If you know of a workaround, or can suggest an alternate approach that we could implement quickly, please respond. Thanks.

I have a sp where query is as below.
DECLARE @ServerCIName varchar(5000)
SELECT * FROM dbo.INC
WHERE Status in ('Assigned','In Progress','Pending')
and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%'
and (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, (Submit_Date)), 0)) = (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, getdate()), 0))
In place of "and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%' ", if I use "and Description like '%' + @ServerName + '%' " and pass a single value, it works.
But @ServerName contains multiple values and it is dynamic (not constant).
How do I query the data?

I have a report that includes two multi-valued parameters.
In the Default Values section, I choose 'from query' and select dataset and value field.
In the Available Values section, I choose 'from query' select the same dataset and value field, and in the label field I select the relevant label field.
When I run the report my multi-valued parameters look like I selected the option 'select all' (all options are selected).
How can I keep the multi-valued parameters cleared from selections until the user select his choice? Thanks in advance.

I have a multivalued drop down menu that isn't wide enough to display the entire label. It only displays about half of the label. The text it is trying to display should look like "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone 2 - Global Zone 3 - Global Zone 4", and the only visible text is "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone2". It does have a scroll bar at the bottom, but it is ridiculous.
When I set it to not be multivalued, the drop down menu grows to the size of my label. The menu has plenty of space to grow, it is only taking up a very small amount of the screen.
Is there any way to correct this issue?
Thanks

Hello,
I have a report with a multi-value parameter. In its' drop drop box, I can select ALL or I can individually select single items, but it doesn't appear that I can select a range of items using the shift key. The problem is; occasionally the user will want to select everything, and them eliminate an item or two. The list it too long to select every one individually. It would be an easy solution if hey could select the entire list, then deselect what they don't want. Is there a way?
Thanks.

I have a report that has 2 dropdowns, selecting from the first dropdown populates the second one. This works fine in the BI Studio.
When I deploy this report to the 'Report Manager' and make a selection from the first dropdown, the second dropdown loads (as expected). I tried to select from the second dropdown (which has only 1 item - which is correct), the dropdown does not appear correctly - as in, I can't see that item.
Since we can't attach anything here, below is the link to a screenshot of my issue:
http://docs.google.com/View?docid=ddd6j2xn_52c5qd5
If you look closely at the screenshot from the link above, you'll see that there is a value in the second dropdown - it just won't show completely - as if the dropdown is not rendering correctly. I can view source on the page and see that the dropdown has a value.
What appears to be happening is the if only 1 item is in the second dropdown and that item is longer than the size of the dropdown, the dropdown won't render.
Here is my value for the second dropdown '012 Candy Gadler David Thapero'. This is the only value in the second dropdown. - You can try 35 chars or more in the dropdown to confirm.
Notes:
+ No special chars are in either dropdown
+ I am using IE 7 (Also had someone test this on IE 6 - same problem)
+ Using Visual Studio 2005 to build report - where this works fine
Work around:
+ If I add another item to the dropdown via a UNION query, I see the original value + the new item in the dropdown #2
Please share your thoughts
Thanks,
h.

Hi
i have a report that can show upto 8 charts, dependant on the selection(s) made in a multi-valued parameter.
basically, the report gets loads of data back from DataCube.
if the user has selected (for example) 2 categories in the multi-valued parameter (e.g. "beverages" & "confectionary") , the the first chart will show the results filtered for "beverages" and the second chart will show the results for the "confectionary" category.
but
i want to hide any charts that are not used - i.e. the user only selects 3 categories, i want to show 3 and hide 5 charts and am trying to do this with IIF in the FILTER properties of the chart
so for each chart, i am checking to see if a Category selection has been made for that chart - and if it has, filter the results and display the chart. if no selection has been made, then filter the results for "XXXXX" (no data with this category)
am doing this by trying to get the selected value or "xxxxx" if noting selected
to hide the second chart when only one category has been selected, tried
e.g. for the third chart
=iif(
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.count>2,
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.Label(2),
"xxxxx")
doesnt work - gives an #Error as a reult
But it works fine when there are > 2 categories selected
also
this works fine when there is 2 or >2 category selected
=iif(
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.count>2,
"more than 2",
"not more than 2")
it would appear that IIF is trying to evaluate the TRUE condition(Parameters!HydraCORELOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.Label(2)) even though the condition is false !!!
help please
thx

Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)

Hi,
after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters.
The option to select all values are gone.
Is there a bug within SP1?
Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server.
The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005.
So long

I am creating a Line chart report from a table. The source table includes a code column (String), date column (Datetime), and 12 statistic columns (Int). The dates are end of month dates only. ("1/31/2006", "2/28/2006","3/31/2006", etc.) There are about 8 different codes for each month. The statisic columns are the totals for the month for each code for a particular statistic.
PeriodEndDate Code Statistic1 Statistic2 Statistic3 Statistic4 ...
XX/XX/XXXX XX 999 999 999 999 ...
On my line chart I want to show one or more statistics for one year for one or more codes. (A line for each statistic for a given code) The report has multi-valued parameters for the codes and the statistics. I have figured out how to create the chart for one or more codes for a given statistic. How can I select one or more statistic? Can any one help me out?
Thanks,

Hi There.
I am struggling with an issue with multi-valued parameters. I have a parameter that is a list of several hundred items and when someone selects all of them, I display the huge list in the report header vias the join command.
This works great for a few parameters, but overwrites my data when the list is large. I want to do something in the expression where I determine if all items are selected and then just display 'All' instead of the whole list. Any ideas would be very helpful!
Thanks, Mike

Hello
I am trying to do the following:
1. Create a Multi-statement Table-valued Functions, say mstvF1, with 1 parameter.
2. Then, use it like this: "Select * from table T, mstvF1( T.id )"
It gives me Line 100: Incorrect syntax near 'T', referring to the T of T.id.
If I do
Select * from table T, mstvF1( 5 ), then it works.
Is there any way to do a select from a table T combined with an MSTV function and passing in as a parameter a field from T?
Thanks for any help.

I'm creating a Multi-statement Table-Valued Function...
Is it possible to insert variables into the table? In other words, is it possible
to have something like
declare
@value1 varchar(10)
@value2 varchar(10)
BEGIN
<do some work on value1 and value2>
INSERT @returningTable
@value1, @value2
instead of
BEGIN
<do some work on value1 and value2>
INSERT @returningTable
SELECT col1, col2 from T_SOURCE
Here's why I want to insert variables...My function needs to return a table which contains a 'partial' incremental key.
I'll go with an example to explain what i have to do
Source_table
col1 col2
Mike 10
Mike 20
Ben 50
John 15
John 25
John 35
The table that my function needs to create should look like this
col1 col2 col3
Mike 10 1
Mike 20 2
Ben 50 1
John 15 1
John 25 2
John 35 3
I thought of creating a cursor and then looping through it generate col3 and save values of other individual columns in variables. But don't know how to use those variables when inserting records into function table.
Any other ideas? I'm caoming from Oracle world, I might be having some strange ideas on how to solve this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.

I am currently working with 3 multi-valued parameters whose data sources are queries. The first 2 are required to have entries, 100% of the time, but the third one may or may not require selecting a value. Parm3's data source is filtered by the selections of Parm1 & Parm2. The data source for my report references Parm3 in a derived table that is then LEFT OUTER JOINed.
In the cases where the report does not require any selection from Parm3 I am still required to pick at least 1 entry. Can anyone shed some light on this, or provide a solution so I am not forced to pick any if I don't want?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
