How To Use Default Parameter Values With A Date Parameter From A Cube/Reducing Parameters
Oct 15, 2007
Hi,
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.
Thanks !

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?
Thanks for the information.

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 have a parameter that gets it's available values from a dataset.
I use this exact same data to populate the default values.
When I run the report, the available values get populated; however the default values are not being selected.
This works on other parameters on the same report. However, on this parameter, it is not working.
I have tried ltrim/rtrim (Been burned with that before when the field type is a char)
I change the data field in the query, without changing the parameter setup, and it works...
Here is my query:
Code Snippet
Select distinct
CityName
from dimHotel dH (NOLOCK)
Inner join factHotel fH (NOLOCK)
on dh.HotelKey = fH.HotelKey
Where dH.CityName <> ''
and dH.CityName is not null
and fH.ClientKey in (@ClientID)
Order by CityName
The parameter is setup correctly, and matches the setup of another parameter on the same report that is working fine.
I have tried deleting the parameter and re-adding it. This did not work.
I also deleted and re-added the query. No luck.
Any ideas??
Thanks!!
Thanks

hy all,
i'm using the object transform data task from a server (where i'm not dbo) to another server (where i'm dbo).
i'm getting data from a table. i need to select just some records from this table. i need to use a query like this one below...
select * from {table_name} where operationedate in ('20070101', '20070205', '20060524')
... cause everytime i run the dts the operationdate field must be filtered on different date.
so i tried to use the parameter from a global variables. i've tried lots of things but everytime i failed.
i used to try:
select * from {table_name} where operationedate in (?)
but it doesnt work!
any one can understand what i try to explain and even help me?

I have a stored procedure that grabs the Region key from the user, and the date. But i want to set up 5 reports, for day of the week. So i want to make the second parameter a defualt parameter set by me in each report. which is better then having to create 5 stored procedures with the same info just different dates.
when i try to enter the same data i have in my stored procedure to get Mondays date, i get an error.
Here is what i entered in the report parameter default expression box for the date :
=DATEADD(dd, - 6, DATEADD(dd, 1 - DATEPART(w, GETDATE()), CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(),
101))))
but i keep getting an error that says:
The Value expression for the report parameter €˜Daily_activity_statistics_datetime€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'dd' is not declared.
Build complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
whats wrong with it? This works fine in the stored procedure for the where clause. Please help! this would save me alot of time.

Hi,
I have written a program that uploads RDL files to Reporting Services 2005 using the web service.
I am calling the CreateReport method to upload the RDL files
<code>
warnings = propagator.ReportServerProxy.CreateReport(reportFileName, reportFolderName, True, reportDefinition, Nothing)
</code>
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 ;-)
Any idea how I could get around this
Thanks,

Hi,
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?
Thanks.

I have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?

Hi All,
I have requirement where first I need to show only one report
parameter. Based on user selection I need to prompt or show the user
another report parameter.
Say suppose I have 3 parameters. User selects first value in first
parameter I should not show the other 2 parameters. If user selects
second value in first parameter I should show second parameter and
hide third parameter. There is no relationship between these 2
parameters except user selection. Similarly if user third value in
first parameter then I should show third parameter and hide second
parameter.
Is this possible? I can not see any Visible property for report
parameters.
If yes, how to achieve this functionality?
Appreciate your help.
Regards,
Raghu

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.

Would like to restrict the dates users can put as parameters. For example, I have a report showing all orders in year 2007. I have exposed Start Date and End Date parameters. When users click the 'View Report' button, the report will filter for orders where attribute EnteredDate is >= Start Date and <= End Date.
I want to restrict the users from entering a start date greater than today's date. Would also like to restrict them from entering an end date that is less than the start date parameter. How can I do this?
TIA.

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

Hi,
I have a calendar parameter in one of my reports. The values of the calendar are of the form 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mms'. And they are string values.
Now when I generate the report I have a textbox that takes the parameter label (e.g., parameter!calendar.label). However, I would like to format (or trim) the label as just 'yyyy-mm-dd'. Does anyone know how I can do this? I tried to change the parameter value format to datetime but this just throws an invalid datatype error...
cheers,
Al

Hi All.
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 ?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Neil

@pvColumnName  VARCHAR(100) = Default,  
However, I am unable to determine what is the value for Default. Is it '' ?
Default is not permitted as a constant - below fails to parse:

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 am trying to report against a cube and I want the user to be able to choose the date for the report.
Now the cube dimension has been built against a calendar which contains values for the next 30 years(!) so when I create a parameterized report the list of dates is ridiculously huge.
I want to filter the dates out and show only the dates for which there is data. How do I filter out the list of dates for a parameter?

I have this strange issue.
VS2005
SSRS2005
SSAS2000 cube based on data from SQL 2005 database
When i connect to the SSAS cube and create a dataset in a SSRS 2005 report i do not get a parameter pane.
Also, if i right click on a dimension & select "Add to filter" i get the following error message
"Object reference not set to an instance of an object"
It's not my installation of SQL 2005, as I can connect to an SSAS2005 cube and get the filter/parameter pane and do not get the error message. Parameters work fine.
Have i come across a known issue when reporting on SQL 2005 versus a SQL 2000 AS Cube... or can someone shed some light on the issue for me....
If someone can tell me how to display screenshots I can add them to a post
Thanks

Hi All,
how do i hide an attributes member value in all the reports where my cube is exposed as data source.
Example : Lets say i have dimension called Product.
Product
Name column Key column
Product A 0
Product B 1
Product C 2
Now i need to create mdx query which will fetch member values except 0 key column value so that member values except 0 Key would be loaded in the parameter list. What is the best query so that i will run in to any performance issues. Is there any cube level setting i can do so that i will be doing one time job ?
Can i use Key() function to compare something like Key([Product].[Product Name]) >0 in the mdx query
ot would Except() function would help?
Thanks in advance

I'm using a stored procedure that receives one parameter namely @EmployeeID INT
but when I want to give this parameter a default value, my SP fails.
I did it like with a varchar where it works.

@Employee INT = '%'

Is this correct or did I use a wrong syntac/wildcard?

After connected to Analysis Services and following the path below:
Analysis Service - Databases - Cubes
I create the parameters for a custom report after right click on a specific Cube and select Browse to arrive at a view where i can define dimensions and parameters as well as drag and drop measure to the report rows and columns. The left top File bottom only give me a Save Selection or Save ALL option. However, i'm not sure where it saves it to or if it saves the settings for this custom report at all.
I pull this report monthly and it's a pain to recreate all the parameters. How to save this template for future pulls or maybe even incorporate the pull into excel for monthly refresh instead?

I have an SSRS report that gets its data from an SSAS cube, and it essentially displays a list of students and absences. Everything works fine.
But the users only want to see the top N students with the highest absences. For example, today they want to see the top 100, but during summer vacation, they only want to see the top 5.
Is there a way to add this parameter to the SSRS report? So if I select "5" from the dropdown parameter, it will show the top 5 absences.
The query that I use to populate the report is something simple:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Absences] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Student].[Lte Cell Key].[Lte Cell Key].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DimDateDateKey, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Daily Cube]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS

This is regarding Report Services 2005 designing the report in Visual Studio.
Currently I am using a query to populate 2 date selectors in the parameter section at the top of a report. The start and end dates are determined by a query which returns the values based on yet another parameter. If I change the value of the paramter which is supposed to be used by the date selectors they don't seem to feel the need to re-calc themselves. I have 3 other dependent param's in the same report which behave reasonably.
Has anyone seen this before or is there way to somehow force a parameter re-caluclation?
