Is There A Way To Loop Over Report Parameters, And Format Them Before Passing Them Onto The Query
Nov 13, 2007
Good morning all,
I have a report which is getting its parameters from an ASP.net page. My ASP developer wants to send in simple values, such as the list 1,2,3,4 for a parameter. However my report needs that list to look like [CD RSRC].[RSRC].&[1], [CD RSRC].[RSRC].&[2], [CD RSRC].[RSRC].&[3], [CD RSRC].[RSRC].&[4].
Is there any way, on the report services side, to capture an incoming report parameter, parse it, loop over the parsed values and format them?
I don't think there is, but I wanted to check before I go back to the developer and tell him he has to send in tuple lists.
I am attempting to pass report parameters to my query. My report's data source is a WCF web service. I can run normal queries fine, but I have found that without the know-how to pass parameters to my query I am limited with my capabilities.
Assume a string parameter named "Name" with a specified default value of "Jmachol90", how would I pass that into the following query at the designated place: Â Â <Query> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/masterdataservices/2009/09" Name="SecurityPrincipalsGetRequest"> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="Criteria" Type="XML"> <DefaultValue>
We have an Office SharePoint 2007 site, we developed a couple of web parts and added them to our site. We used SQL Server Reporting services 2005 as our reporting solution. The reports are hosted on the report center and when we need a report, we open it by sending a URL requesting the report, passing the report parameters in the URL query string. So the report is filtered based on the parameters passed from the web parts.
But since best practices say that you should host reports directly under SharePoint, by configuring the reporting services to run in the SharePoint integrated mode. We followed the steps and installed SharePointRS and we finally succeeded to publish the reports to a SharePoint folder, but we had a limitation: we are unable to pass the report parameters internally to the report hosted in SharePoint. If we passed them in the query string as the report center case, SharePoint neglects them totally. So the question is: how can I pass parameters internally between a SharePoint web part and a SQL server 2005 reporting services report hosted in SharePoint?
I am trying to develop a report from cube,and it has one drill through report.when i click on sales amount field on main report,then it open the drill through report with details.Here i passed the **(category,subcat,product)parameters(Cascaded)** to drill through report in action part of main report.In my main report i have two columns .
columns are **Level**  and        **Salesamount**. Â
Values are like Â
**[-]category** Â Â Â Â Â Â Â **100** Â Â **[-]subcat** Â Â Â Â Â Â **50** Â Â Â Â Â **product** Â Â Â Â Â **30**
when i click on 100, parameters are passed & it open the detail report correctly, but when i click on 50,the values for subcat parameter is not getting values in detail report and same as the product also.
Hi, I've read some threads in regards to passing report parameters through the 'URL' but I am struggling to fully understand. To keep things simple I have 1 report parameter, named par_pub which brings back either ww06 or ww07. What I require is to click on a hyperlink and it directs me to my report and then populates the par_pub paramerter with ww07.
The part in bold is the location + name of the report and the later is where I am trying to pass the parameter. Can anyone please help as this is not working.
I have a problem getting the URL string right to pass parameters from one report to another
This is the URL string I have set in the Navigation property of my text box: "http://SQL/Reportserver$SQL2005/Pages/Report.aspx?%2fEarlyWarning2%2fratio+reports+-+test%2freport_upper_lower_benchmark_ratio1&rs:Command=Render&rcarameters=false &company="&Parameters!company.Value.ToString()&Parameters!year.Value.ToString()&Fields!ratioName.Value.ToString()
The first thing is that when I just want to view the report say, with parameters hidden, I get this URL http://reportserver/?%2fEarlyWarning2%2fratio+reports+-+test%2freport_upper_lower_benchmark_ratio1&rs%3aCommand=Render&rc%3aParameters=false
with the message "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage"
Why does the first part of the URL change?
If I run it with just one parameter, company, I get the same error message with this URL : http://reportserver/?%2fcompany.Value.ToString()&rs%3aCommand=Render&rc%3aParameters=false&company=%22
It looks like no value for the company parameter being passed
Hi, I have created a report in VS 2003 using command type as Text for a stored procedure. The stored procedure itself takes in 2 parameters. I have passed one of them in the exec statement but the other parameter is the one which I want to pass to the stored procedure through report. So, in short, I have got this statement in dataset
EXEC SP1 1
Which means only 1 of the arguments is being passed to the stored procedure and not the second one. I would appreciate if some one can guide me on how to pass a report parameter to the stored procedure which using command type text
Hi. I've got a report I'm designing for the web using a ReportViewer control and an RDLC report file. Here's what needs to happen in the report,
The main report calls one stored procedure with some user provided parameters, which returns a dataset. A sub-report will use 2 of the columns returned from the dataset above to call another stored procedure, which then provides the dataset used for the ReportViewer control. I'm lost in trying to implement this. How do I call the first stored procedure to get the data? Then how do I pass the returned columns to the sub-report?
The main report will have a number of these sub-reports, each on its own page. I'm just trying to implement the first sub-report. Is there an easier way to implement this without using sub-reports? Thanks.
I'm have created a data flow that uses an OLEDB source with a SQL Query. In the WHERE statement of this query is a condition for the storecode. I want to figure out how to create a loop that will cycle through a list of storecodes using a variable which is passed to the dataflow in turn to the OLEDB source's query and runs through the process for each store.
The reason i'm using a loop is because there are about 15 million records that are merge joined with 15 million others which is causing a huge performance problem. I'm hoping that by looping the process with one store at a time it should be faster. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently trying to create a report that will take three parameters in the URL to generate a report: year, month, and day. The report is using an analysis services data source in RS 2005. Now, my problem is that the parameters being passed in the URL are not being selected in the drop down boxes for the parameters. The report does not throw any exceptions, and after the user selects values for the year, month, and day everything generates successfully.
Here is the URL format I am trying: http://localhost/ReportServer?/FolderName/ReportName&rs:Command=render&Year=2006&Month=6&Day=9
Currently, my parameters are all set to null for default values. They are also not multivalued, not internal, not hidden, don't allow blank, and don't allow null. I have also looked through the valid values in the drop down box for each parameter and verified that the values I supplied in the URL do exist. Also, the data types for each parameter is Integer just like the data type found in the database.
In my opinion, this problem seems directly related to using an analysis services data source. After I was getting this problem, I created a sample report using SQL Server data source, used the same three parameters, and passed them in the URL. Everything on that report worked perfectly.
Please help, I've looked thorugh almost every piece of documentation regarding parameters for Reporting Services and still no luck. Thanks!!
Where horseid id my parameter which is needed by report to generate the required data.
This query paramter value is picked from the text box on my jsp page.
But my problem is when i go to this url it says the message
"The 'HorseID' parameter is missing a value ".
In my report i have disabled the prompt user option , enable the Hide paramter option and has given no default value for this parameter.
I have done a lot of search on this topic. Everybody says that we can pass the values from the url like i am using. But still its not working. This forum is my last hope. Any body has any idea please give me some idea.

I am developing a report against OLAP. I have a main report and a sub report. The parameters to both are exactly the same. I am passing parameters to sub report from main. Whenever I use Field!Fieldname.Value as a parameter value to the sub report, I get an error saying one or more parameters required to run the report have not been specified. I used the UniqueName, but that doesnt do my grouping right ( I dont think this works for multi-value report)
I am lost...I need to figure this out ASAP. Does somebody know an article or do you know as how to deal with OLAP reports as sub reports and passing parameters as multi-value? I tried to attach the code, but I ran out of maximum characters...
In the above code, the XML parser does not understand the Parameters element. I've also tried ReportParameters as the name of the element. I don't seem to understand why, because in the SQL data tab, Parameters is a subelement of DataSet. Why am I getting this error and how do I programmatically specify that I want a report created on the fly to have parameters?
Deserialization failed: The element 'DataSet' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition' has invalid child element 'Parameters' in namespace 'http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/reporting/2005/01/reportdefinition'.

I am new to reporting services and wanted to see if anyone had any experience trying to do this...that "this" is passing a parameter to a report, but having the user fill in some others. I can pass all of my parameters to the report or let the user fill all of them in, but it doesn't seem to let me fill in one and have the users fill in the others.
From a aspx page I was able to Pass values (valid values) for the parameters to SSRS report 2005 which uses OLAP cube as datasource and got back the expectd result. but when I pass value other than a valid value i am getting ERROR message. do we always have to pass valid values only? any help is greatly appreciated.
I've created a line chart in my report which lists number of transactions by month. I've also created a report to list transactions by day. My goal is for the user to select a month and link the report to the graph with the selected month divided up into days (in other words, the user wants to see the number of transactions for each day in the selected month).
Anyway, everything is working perfectly except for one thing. In the list of parameters that I am passing to the report for each day, I want to pass a multivalue parameter which contains all the transaction IDs the user selected in creating the report (these are supplied by a multivalue parameter). However, in the parameter dialog box where it asks for a value to send to the awaiting parameter, I do not know how to supply more than one value. If I need to pass one value, it will work fine. However, I would like to do something like:
JOIN(Parameters!TransactionID.value, ",")
for the value of TransactionID, but when I generate the report it is not accepting the values. I'm pretty sure its just a format issue, and I just need to know how exactly I should pass these values.
I already understand that when passing multivalue parameters in a URL you need something like:
TransactionID=1&TransactionID=2
...in order to select multiple values. However, this is a slightly different situation. I'm really running out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated.
I have two subreports on one master report who's parameters @ReportDate would be set to the same date each time the report is run. When i run the master report i get an error for each report that tells me that one or more parameters required to run the report have not been specified. How do i pass the parameter i want to use in both reports from the master report through to the subreports.
We are accessing reports through our web application. Our front end is implemented using tapestry Our report is using four parameters. The report url is like http://<servername>/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/<Report_Proj_Name>/<ReportName>
We are using POST requests with our report parameters defined as hidden variables. If we use GET request, with parameters as query string then we are able to view our reports.
When I tried to access the report through web application, it gives out an error message as:
For POST request, we get the above mentioned error. When I saw the view source I could see that tapestry internally sets its own hidden variable for persisting its state in session. formids is one of the hidden variable set by it.
How should I specify in the report that formids is not one of the report parameter. There may be other hidden variables other than formids too that may get generated at runtime. What setting should I do at the report end or at the application end?
How can I pass a parameter used for the DataSet query? I'm using this DataSet file as data source of my .rdlc report for Windows Forms.
I've already done a .rdlc report to Web Forms where I passed the query parameter by ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters, but in Windows Forms this object was not created. I just hava the following created objects:
I am using this custom data extension from BI Studio.
Que1: I want to create report parameters from BI studio and capture them in my Data Extension.
Que2: Every report parameter has so many properties, like hidden, internal, default value etc, how do capture that information in my data extension, the parameters only give me name and value.
Que3: I know I can capture command Text. So My command can be Select * From tablename where fieldname= @myFieldname. Once I get this commandText in my data extension, How do extract parameters of the command?
Que4: If I have any custom attributes in my RDL file, Can I capture them in my Data Extension ?
I have two reports. One is the main/summary report and other one is drill through. When I pass the Start and End Date parameters from main to the drill, the original format of DateTime changes. For example, in main report the data is displayed for following date range:
4/7/2007 - 5/9/2007 (i.e 4 July 2007 to 5 Sept 2007)
which displays correct data.
However, when I click on the drill through link, it jumps to the drill through report but displays data for the following period:
7/4/2007 - 9/5/2007 (i.e. 7 Apr 2007 to 9 May 2007)
The reporting services is converting the value from one format to another of the report parameters when passing them from parent report to the drill through. When run individually, these two reports display data for correct date range. And you can imagine, the child report crashes with rsReportParameterTypeMismatch error if the start or end date had a day part greater than 12 (e.g 25/4/2007).
I can't understand what could be going wrong. All the parameters in both reports are datetime, so intrisically, it shouldn't matter even if the reporting services is converting or using different date formats as long as the data type remains the same. Is there a way to fix this and force the parameters to stay in the format they are provided in the main report?
IBM DB2 UDB for iSeries IBMDA400 OLE DB Provider to extract data from AS400 and copy them to SQLServer2005. It's my first experience with exptracting data from AS400.
I need to pass in SSIS a parameter to the extract query like SELECT dtses FROM oslglf3.flp016 WHERE dtses > ?
I'm naming the parameter in the mapping as 1 but geetting an error [as400 [1]] Error: The SQL command requires a parameter named ""00001"", which is not found in the parameter mapping.
I have tried 00001, '00001', ("00001" is not accepted from SSIS) but getting still this error.
A query like SELECT dtses FROM oslglf3.flp016 WHERE dtses > '1071205' works OK.
I am passing the partameters to MS Report Viewer control to view the report. It is working fine with normal parameters like 'abc', 'Jon' etc. But fails with parameters having special characters like 'abc+', 'Version 1.1 Part 1', 'R1.8 RC' throws error " The parameter is missing a value"
I am passing a field value from main report to a parameter in a drill through sub report. But some field values contain 'special characters'. Those field values that contain special characters are not working for drill through. Javascript code to include special characters to pass to sub report parameter?
OK - truck loads of folk have reported this problem - but I cannot solve it - so apologies for repeating the question...
My SQL Server 2005 Report is developed on the same server as it is run.
I have SQL Server 2005 SP2 installed. The report language is set as en-GB.
The browser language setting is en-NZ.
The report previews fine - I pick May 22 from the picker and it appears as 22/05/2007 in the report parameter text box - which since I am in NZ is exactly as I want it.
I deploy the report - If I run it from the report manager virtual directory the date picker performs as above i.e correctly.
I run the deployed report from the report server virtual directory and here is where the problem occurs - selecting May 22 from the date picker produces 05/22/2007 in the report parameter text box and produces the error
"The value provided for the report parameter 'StartScheduledDate' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch)"
thanks for any help here - this problem has made this a ridiculously expensive report!
Looking to pass in the @targetDbName into the Open Query.
The target DB is PostGres and requires 2 single quotes around the dataset name.
I have tried many possible variations using the '+ @variableName +'
USE JonathanDB declare @dqzDateVer int; declare @targetDbName varchar(25); select @targetDbName = DB_NAME(); select @dqzDateVer = dqz_date_ver FROM OPENQUERY(ofr_meta_db, 'select dqz_date_ver from ofr_registry.dataset_feed_state where dataset_name=''JonathanDB'' and state = ''Done'' order by row_iddesc limit 1'); print @dqzDateVer ; print @targetDbName;
I need to take a variable from a tabel in SQL Server pass to a Batch file and execute the batch file. Right now I can exec the batch file with XP_CMDSHELL but how can I pass the variable to the batch file and loop through all the variables.
I have the following code and i want to passed more than one value:
DECLARE @myvendedor AS varchar(255) SET @myvendedor = '87,30' print @myvendedor SELECT top 10 ECOM.COM1,* from ecom (nolock) WHERE ecom.PORVEND=1 AND ECOM.VENDEDOR IN (@myvendedor) Table Field ECOM.VENDEDOR is Numeric(4,0)
This error occur:
87,30 --Result of PRINT
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 6 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
I change :
DECLARE @myvendedor AS numeric(4,0)
and this error appear:
Msg 8114, Level 16, State 5, Line 2 Error converting data type varchar to numeric.
I can pass a parameter from an Access Query to an Access Report (MDB) by entering [Select Date] in the Query criteria and by placing an unbound control with a control source =[Select Date] on the report. I can't get this to work from a SQL Function Criteria to an unbound control on the Access Data Project Report. In the Function Criteria, I enter @SelectDate. In the Report control, I enter @SelectDate and it gives me an 'Invalide Column Name' error. Any idea how I can pass a parameter from a SQL Function to an ADP report?
THANKS!
p.s. I tried searching for other postings on this without any luck.
I am trying to create a report against an Access 2003 database using the provider as follows: "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;"
Simple reports with no parameters are fine (e.g. using a text query of 'Select * from BERs'
But how do I pass in a report parameter to limit the results coming back ? I have only used stored procs in the past which work fine but how to achieved this using Access has me stumped.
An example query I need would be 'Select * from BERs WHERE Year = [Year?]'
