Is There A Way To Default DateTime Parameter To Blank?
Jul 13, 2007
I have a visible DateTime parameter on the Report that I would like to make optional.
When I open up the report and try to run it without specifying the date I get a validation error that parameter is required. If I set default value to null - it works, but I have to check for both '' and NULL in my query:
StartDateTime >= @StartDate OR @StartDate='' OR @StartDate IS NULL
I tried setting default parameter using expression
=''
but I get an error that
'Default Value' of parameter 'StartDate' doesn't have expected time.
So the question is can I set DateTime parameters' default value to blank?

Looks like a very simple problem but not geeting it..
I have parameter as ALL and it has corresponding value as <BLANK>,which comes by default.
Allow Blank to true
How I can select this parameter as default value in parameter??
Please make sure that if I am taking '' then it is getting treated differently.I don;t want Value of ALL as '' or NULL
Niether I have permission to change sp
I want <BLANK> value to be selected internally
Any help will be appriciated.
-Thanks,

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?
Thanks!

Issue 1:
I have a report parameter StartDateTime. I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDateTime parameter is empty and its been locked. I am not even able to set it to different value in preview.
Can anyone help me how to set the datetime parameter to default value(Now).
Issue 2:
I have a stored procedure which takes StartDateTime parameter. Whenever the report refreshes using autorefresh interval, the startdatetime should default to Now. Right now the startdatetime defaults to whatever the value is there before i hit view report. how to do that using stored procedure.
Thanks fro your help.

I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing". Â
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo
 ... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.

I am writing a two step process where the record is created and half of the fields are populated. The second step will populate the remaining fields. Between steps they will run queries against the table and the empty fields are <NULL>.When the field is <NULL> it won't return data on "WHERE Field LIKE '%'". I could just pass "" as data to the remaining fields however since MS SQL allows you to set a default value on a field. Is it possible to set the default value to a blank instead of <NULL>. This would help keep my code a little more streamline.
Or is there an easy way to write a fuzzy search that will include <NULL> fields.
Thanks

Hi we have projects that a number of people work on,
When someone opens a project that someone else has been working on all the credentials for the different data sources have disappeared. This seems to be a default behaviour of reporting services, is there a way to change this?
if so how?

@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:
WHERE t2.TABLE_TYPE = 'BASE TABLE'
AND (@pvColumnName = Default OR t1.[COLUMN_NAME] Like @vColumnName)

Hi,
In SSIS flat file import using fastload, I'm trying to import data into SQL 2005 previously created tables.
The table may contain column that are NULLable BUT there is NO DEFAULT for them.
If the incoming data from flat files contains nothing either between the delimeters, how can I have a NULL value inserted in the column instead of blank/empty string?
I didn't find an easy flag unless I'm doing something wrong. I know of at least two ways to do it the hard way:
1- set the DEFAULT(NULL) for EVERY column that needs this behaviour
2-set up some Derived Column option in the package to return NULL if the value is missing.
Both of the above are time consuming since I'm dealing with many tables. Is there a quick option to default the value to NULL WHEN there is NO data ELSE insert the data itself? So the same behavior that I have right now except that I want NULL in place of empty string/blank in the varchar(x) columns.
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.

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 !

Hi have a problem to solve and I hope that this is not a SSRS Bug.
I created a Reports(using SQL Server Project) which has several parameters which values are passed to a SP.
One of these parameter is an Integer and it is an optional value, so if the user fill it is used by the SP, otherwise the SP uses NULL and run anyway.
I starts to define tha parameter:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
if I want to Preview the report I have to provide an integer to the parameter's field ...
If for instance I set:
Default: Not queried = 0
In the moment I deploy and I use the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field is unabled!!
So I tried this solution:
Datatype = integer
Allow blank value
Allow null value
Available: Non queried
Default: Null
In the preview the checkbox: NULL is checked and I click on the View Report.
But when I deploy it,in the ReportViewer in my window application the parameter's field this checkbox is unchecked.
Do I forget something during my setting??I have to control it programmatically??
N.B. By default the user will not user this parameter so the best is that he can click directly on "View Report" without any additional "work" on the parameter!!
Thank you for any help!

In my report I want an optional parameter to filter all records with a specific field that is not blank. I tried several scenario's without result...
In the parameter I want to set a text value like "exampletext".
In the filter I want a check: if the parameter value is "exampletext", only show the records where field "abc" is not blank.
On the tab Filters from the Table properties I can set three values: Expression, Operator and Value.
Please help!

I build reports using reporting services 2005 sp2.
I have 3 parameters---> 3 multi value combo box .
However when I tick "allow blank value" within the report parameter
properties for this drop menu, report WILL NOT run without making
selection.(The xml is ok allow blank value set to true)
the reports still require you to enter a value for all parameters in the report when the report can and should be able to be run with no parameter defined.
the trick "default values for all of the params to "=String.Empty"" is not good .
I found this article but i can't find microsoft hotfix for it .

Here is the relevant VB Code:
Dim parmReturnValue As SqlParameter
'conProducts is already open
cmdProducts = New SqlCommand("Get_WirelessProducts_By_Page", conProducts)
cmdProducts.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
cmdProducts.Parameters.Add("@CurrentPage", intCurrentPage)
cmdProducts.Parameters.Add("@PageSize", dgrdProducts.PageSize)
parmReturnValue = cmdProducts.Parameters.Add("@TotalRecords", SqlDbType.int)
parmReturnValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
conProducts.Open
dgrdProducts.DataSource = cmdProducts.ExecuteReader()
If Not IsDBNull(cmdProducts.Parameters("@TotalRecords").Value) then
Response.Write(cmdProducts.Parameters("@TotalRecords").Value)
End IfThe rows are returned correctly, but the output parameter "@TotalRecords" doesn't return anything. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance for your help.

I have 5 Parameters created in my report.
1, 2 and 3 parameter are text inputs. 4th is multi-value parameter and 5th is again a text input. I need to Pass a blank parameter to my 5th parameter.
1) I tried the below Expression in the "UploadedEnt" DataSet Properties and not in the "Main" DataSet.
=IIF(Parameters!UploadedEntiParam.Value ="",Nothing,Parameters!UploadedEntParam.Value)
I have taken the actual sql query (file) and I have just placed the select statement.
DataSet Name: UploadedEntselect distinct UploadEnt
from
(
SELECT DISTINCT col1, col2...
....) Ent
Order by 1OR logic has been applied in the Tablix Properties Filters as an expression.=Fields!value1.Value like Parameters!value1Param.Value Or Fields!value2.Value like Parameters!value2Param.Value Or Fields!value3.Value like Parameters!value3Param.Value Or Fields!value4.Value = Parameters!value4Param.Value(0) Or Fields!UploadEnt.Value = Parameters!UploadedEntParam.ValueFilter: Expression = TRUE2) I tried applying NULL check box which works perfectly but I do not want to apply that here.How to Pass a Blank Parameter?

Have a report that has this as the query:
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP
FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW
WHERE LOCATION = @Location AND SOURCE = @Source AND (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate)
ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
So the user can enter a value for Location and Source and select the date range.BUT I also want the user to be able to put in nothing for the Location and Source so the query would return everything for that date range.
So if they did this the query would be
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP
FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW
WHERE (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate)
ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
I have set the parameters @Location and @Source to "Allow blank value" in the datasets for the location and source I have :
SELECT NULL AS Source
UNION
SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(LTRIM(SOURCE))AS Source
FROM CTS_OPS_SOURCE_LOCATION_TBL_VW
ORDER BY SOURCE
So a blank will show on the drop down and when I run the query for the Query Designer in the Dataset Properties the results does show a blank record for the first record.BUT when I Run the report there are no blanks in the drop downs for the location or source. And there is no '<blank>' selection in the drop down either. And the drop down insist the user selects a value from both of the drop downs.
What am I doing wrong?

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 Multivalue parameter with 4 available values and have 4 columns in the report that correspond to each of these values.I apply column visibility to each of the 4 columns with the following expression (the number changes for each column
=IIF(InStr("," & Join(Parameters!KPINAME.Value,",")& ",",",1,")>0),False,True)
What I want to do is that if I select a KPI and the Column value is NULL then to hide the row.Obviously if you select multiple KPIs and only 1 of the columns has null value then I wouldn't want the Row hidden.

It updates changed data OK, but if the textbox value is deleted, the code does not update the sql db. I am new to this, and I'm sure it is something simple. Here is some sample code.

In SQL Server 2000 / Asp.Net I am trying to use default values for all fields; hoping to eliminate nulls.
For number and character fields, the default is pretty obvious, but is there any empty value for a date field? I think a null there might be better than putting in a bogus date, at least it can be tested for.
Are there any more developend ideas on this question?
Many thanks

We want to add a default date to our database tables. Looking at other database samples people use all sorts of dates to add as default date e.g. 1/1/1997 or the getdate() function.
Is it good practice to set a default date and what should the default date be????
