How To Set Default Parameter To Select All For A Multivalue Parameter
Jul 24, 2007
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.
I have a multi value parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
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.
I have a report with a dataset/parameter to select the salesperson.
SELECT DISTINCT [DatabaseName$Sales Shipment Header].[Salesperson Code], [DatabaseName$Salesperson_Purchaser].Name, 1 AS SortID FROM [DatabaseName$Salesperson_Purchaser] RIGHT OUTER JOIN [DatabaseName$Sales Shipment Header] ON [DatabaseName$Salesperson_Purchaser].Code = [DatabaseName$Sales Shipment Header].[Salesperson Code] UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS [Salesperson Code], 'Alle salespersons' AS Name, 0 AS SortID ORDER BY SortID, [DatabaseName$Salesperson_Purchaser].Name
In the preview mode the "All salespersons" is selected. When I deploy I see in the web user interface "<Select a Value>". The second choice is "All salespersons".
Is there a way to see "All salespersons" in the web user interface? How do I select a default value from my dataset of salespersons?
In my report I have -among others- a multi-value parameter, populated by a query (so I cannot a priori know the content of the list).
I would like my report to start without any user choice, through default parameters, so what I need is the "select all" choice selected by default. How can I achieve this?
[The only default value I am able to pass to the multi-value parameter is one of the elements populating the list, statically writing it in the "Non-queried" section of "Default values": "From query" option seems not to work for multi-valued]
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 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 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
Hi everyone, I have created a stored procedure in sql server with parameters for my c# application.

Hi, I have report parameter and its values are static lik (ABC, DEF, GHI ) etc. I want to select all as a default for this parameter. How I can do this?
SELECT ArticleID, ArticleTitle, ArticleDate, Published, PublishDate, PublishEndDateFROM UserArticlesWHERE (ArticleDate >= PublishDate) AND (ArticleDate <= PublishEndDate) When I use the above on a GridView I get nothing. Using SQL manager it works great. I don't know how to pass the value of the ArticleDate field as a default parameter or I think that's what I don't know how to do. I am trying to create a app that I can set the dates an article will appear on a page and then go away depending on the date. Thanks for any help!
We have a report that has a banner page. The user can select categories from a multi-select parameter and then this is passed into the report as a csv file. The actual report works doing this, however, we need the banner page to use this parameter's value (the multiple selected labels) to display a string of the selected values. For the textbox expression, we are using =Parameters!Cat.Value, but it always wants to reference Paramaters!Cat.Value(0). We were thinking of using a function in code to pass in the parameter and then concantenate each value into on string and return that string, but isn't there an easier way to do this?
I have passed a list of parameters to a multivalue parameter in a SQL Report.
I can click the drop down and see the list of parameters that were passed.
In my select statement for the report, here is the condition I am using in the where clause.
AND (SUBSTRING(C.CHARTOFACCTSACCOUNTNO,9,3) IN (@RUs))
Nothing is returned in the result set if more than one value is passed to the multivalue parameter.
Shouldn't the above conidition have the effect that no matter how many account numbers there are, the last three digits in the account number will be compared to each element in my multivalue parameter and if there is a match, it will be selected on the report.
For example, in the multivalue dropdown list, there are the following values:
211
212
If I pass 211 to the report, data is returned. If I pass 211, 212 to the multivalue parameter no data is returned.
I have multivalued parameter in my report. I have text box to display heading of the report. the report heading is dependent on the parameter selected.
with single value parameter the text box displays the correct parameter but it cannot with multi valued parameter. Is there any way to display the last value of the parameter in the heading of the report in case of multivalued parameter?
Ex. multivalued parameter is "YEAR"
my report shows the data for 3 years say 2003,2004,2005. report header should show 2005(last of the parameter list) report.
I have in my report a text box that lists the user selection. When the user select a few of the values I display the selection but when the user select "All" I would like the text box to say "Parameter: All".
Is there anyway to know if "All" was selected, I don't want to list all the values because sometime there are too many of them.
Is there an easy way to handle a multivalue parameter where the values could have comma's? I have County and State in a single column and want to select one from the multivalue parameter but when the string is passed it is not being found because I am parsing the parameter on comma. Here is what the drop down list looks like.
In SQL Server 2005 reporing services, I am using the syntax in the documentation for a multivalue parameter.
AND c.Track IN (@Track)
It works fine when I just select one value, but if I select 2 or more, I get an error about the commas being wrong. Is the syntax correct? Is there a way I can see the SQL generated by the report so I can see what is wrong?
There is a select all option for each multivalue parameter. If this option is selected, I would like to display in the report that the parameter selected is "ALL" instead of using the Join(parameter!parametername.value,",") to display all the values. Any idea how I check to see if the select all at the beginning is checked?
Everything I have read says that this is possible in Oracle 9 and greater versions, but I can't get it to work...
Here is my query:
select * from employee where employee_id in ('111','222')
This works fine in the data tab until I replace the values with a parameter. I get the pop-up to enter the parameter values but no matter how I enter them, I don't get any rows returned. I've tried entering them as '111','222' and as 111,222 and changing the parameter type from a string to an int, but nothing seems to work.
I am running this on SQL Server RS 2005 and my Oracle driver (Oracle in OraHome92) is version 9.02.
I am using stored procedure dataset. i tried filtering the dataset values with the parameter of type datetime.I am able to view and select multiple datetime value from the list. but its not filtering the values.
i changed the parameter datatype to string but it works only for the first value
(parameter. <pname>.value(0)). if i filter with the array value (parameter. <pname>.value) am getting error (Failed to evaluate Filter expression).
I guess the problem with datatype. Pls help me if anyone have idea about this.

Whether it is possible or not. How to achieve this.
Hello, I've installed SP1 for SQl Server 2005 and I noticed that the option "Select all" on a multi value parameter drop down (using web browser) is missing. Even if I can see it on VS 2005..... Anyone can help me? Thank you very much.
@partno is defined a multivalue parameter.when I enter a single part number or leave it empty data is properly returned.when I enter multiple part numbers data is not returned.

my sql query : and (fpartno in (@Partno) or '' in (@Partno))...I only want to see those two parts in the report.
