Multi Value Parameter And Horizontal Scroll Bar Covering Data
Jan 16, 2008
I am working with a dynamically populated multi value parameter drop down list. In the case where there is only one value in the list, the horizontal scroll bar (due to the length of the value) covers up the first, and in this case only choice. The users cannot see it. This problem is only when running in report manager. It works ok in Visual Studio.
As a work around, I can add a dummy row, which then at least the users can see one row of data and then scroll down but, I would rather not do that, if there is another solution. Another option would be to set the default on the parameter so it is automatically selected but, in the case where there are many values, I do not want a default set.
Anyone know why the horizontal scroll bar doesnt show up when the data is too large to fit into the given window? The vertical scroll bar will show up but never the horizontal.
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.
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.
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).
I have two report , first is main report which is matrix and have one parameter User_ids which is multi value selection and my second report is basic chart of user_wise performance.
Now, my main report (matrix ) works fine for Multiple selection of users and i have putted one textbox on main report chart which has action properties set for chart report, when user click on chart button it must goes to chart with user selected in main report. Now , i have used expression for parameter to send it like ..
=join(parameter!user_id!value,",") which pass selected value to chart
And when I am selecting single user it passing that value to chart parameter list but , when it is more than one user it errors with conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '121,128' to data type int. But my chart also works when passing 121,128 in user parameter in preview of report .
I would like to be able to adjust the multi-value property of a parameter based on the value of another parameter in my report. The controlling paramter would be binary with two options for Single or Multiple selection. I would like my parameter to default to multi-value, which I can do on the screen selection. I have tried to add an IIF statement to the XML code, with no success. Any ideas would be helpful.
I have 2 installations:1. W2k with MS SQL 2000 sp2.2. W2003 with MS SQL sp3.There are two databases in all instalations: "maindb" and "userdb". Thetable with data is in maindb.In the 1'st installation I restict user access to all data in table in thisway:- create user's login and user in databases maindb and userdb.- create view in userdb with "where" clause as dbo (dbo is owner of thisview). This clause restict access to data. (create view userdb.dbo.table asselect * from maindb.dbo.table where ...)- add user to group "Public" in maindb.- add role "data reader" to user in userdb.- effect: user can access data only by view, can not access any data inmaindb.I do the same in secound installation:- effect: user can not access data by view - message like this: "userhave not permission to select on maindb.dbo.table"Is this bug in sp3 or in sp2 ?Is there another way to horizontal restrict access data in tables?In Sybase ASE this method (restict by view) works ok. And there is newproperty of ASE 12.5.1 - administrator can define context of login - the"where" clause will be added automatically to any select.Please help me. Thank You for any advice.
Could anybody tell me how to convert vertical data into horizontal data?I have a one-to-many relationship in sql server 2KProduct, ProductAccessory, one Product has many ProductAccessories.My Table design is like this:Table Product{ ProdId int, ProdNameId int, ....}Table ProductAccessory{ ProdId int, AccNameId int, AccUnitId int, ....}Because one Production has at most 4 ProductAccessoryI want to use a SELECT statement OR function to return ProdId, ProdNameId, AccNameId1, AccUnitId1, AccNameId2, AccUnitId2, AccNameId3, AccUnitId3, ....Any help will be appreciated! Thanks a lotJoseph
I have a table as follows opendate (datetime) callnumber (int) closed (bit)
I want to find how many calls were opened today and of those how many are closed
I have come up with the code below but again am looking for 1. a more elegant solution 2. a way to generalise this to show the same information for x number of days
create table #holdit1 (opencount int)
create table #holdit2 (closedcount int)
insert into #holdit1 SELECT count(*) as opencount FROM [dbo].[problog] WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0 AND closed = 0 group by closed
insert into #holdit2 SELECT count(*) as closedcount FROM [dbo].[problog] WHERE datediff(dd, opendate, getdate()) = 0 AND closed = 1 group by closed
select #holdit1.opencount AS CallsOpen, #holdit2.closedcount AS CallsClosed, #holdit1.opencount + #holdit2.closedcount AS AllCalls from #holdit1 cross join #holdit2 #holdit2
DROP TABLE #holdit1 DROP TABLE #holdit2
this gives me CallsOpen CallsClosed AllCalls ----------- ----------- ----------- 1 3 4
In my report i have a multi valued parameter, when i view my report in the Web application with Report Viewer, The multi valued parameter is displaying in light color.Can we able to change this.
I have a stored procedure im passing into Reporting Services. Only problem is , What do i need to change to allow the user to select more then one value. I already know what to do on the reporting services side, but it keeps erroring with the data source IE my stored procedure. Here's the code:

Hi: I am building a report and have a few parameters. One of this parameters is set up as Multi-Value. When I only select one value everything is running fine. But when I select multi values I get an error saying I must declare my variable.
hi, i read from this forum that to pass array to report is using multi value parameter . my problem now is 1. can i pass multi dimension array. 2. how do i show the multi value parameter in a table . for example i have a multi value parameter that may contain 10 or 20 array . how do i dynamic it show in table.
I'm trying to build a sproc that will return rows even if some of the parameters are blank. For example; if a user does not enter a priority, a status, or a caller the sproce should still return rows based on the other parameters. Can anyone help me find a way to modify my sproc bellow to allow this? I think the way I have it bellow will only return those rows where the user has entered a parameter or the record has a null in the field.ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.ContactManagementAction
AS SELECT Task_ID, ClientID, Priority, ActionDate, Subject, Note, Status, CompletionDate, TaskDocument, ReminderDate, Reminder, ReminderTime, Sol_ID, DateEntered, EnteredBy, Caller, ContactTypeID, DueDate FROM tblTasks WHERE (ClientID = @ClientID) AND (Priority = @Priority) OR (Priority IS NULL) AND (ActionDate BETWEEN @TStart AND @TEnd) AND (Status = @Status) OR (Status IS NULL) AND (ContactTypeID = @ConTypeID) OR (ContactTypeID IS NULL) AND (Caller = @Caller) OR (Caller IS NULL) AND (Subject LIKE @Keyword) OR (Subject IS NULL)
If you answer this one, you will save my life...and you WILL be the MAN or WOMAN!!!!
Problem: I have a set of 24 matrix's that need to calculate the difference between the last two years and display in a field to the right of the last rendered column. Since I have been struggling with this, let's just assume there is no better way than how I currently have it set up. (one table that does the calculations for me and I set one field on the report to display the most recent two columns difference in my report)
what I can not figure out is: when I choose one of my parameters the report displays the information I want...but when I choose more than one...well there is the problem....
In order to obtain the most help for myself I will ask this in the most general way possible so as not to get bogged down into my specific solution...
Desired Result: How to pass all my parameter values from my multi-value parameter during runtime to a SQL Stored proc from my dataset within Reporting Services at runtime, Match the parameter to the field, get the result and store it in a variable, then do it again and add the second to the first within the variable, and so on and so on , until all of the parameters are used. Then sum the values and display in a field.
Several people have asked about this, but I have not seen a response that works. I have several parameters that I want to use as filters. If a particular filter parameter is not entered, the report should not apply a filter on that criterion. It works fine to create a single value parameter which allows null, and use the following in SQL:
WHERE ( [Field1] = @Field1_Filter OR @Field1_Filter IS NULL )
How can the same effect be achieved for a multi-value parameter? If you try to create a multi-value parameter which allows null, the report builder gives an error. I can't use "allow blank value" because some of my parameters are integer parameters. Without the allow null, the report generator requires me to enter at least one value. So I don't know how you can get a value of "not entered" into a multi-value parameter.
I also don't know how you would check for the "not entered". Someone suggested the following SQL:
WHERE ( [Field1] IN (@Field1_Filter) OR @Field1_Filter IS NULL )
This generates an error when generating the report if multiple values are entered for the parameter (the normal condition). The error is " An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ',' ".
i'm trying to perform a query against a db2 database like this:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE (field IN (?))
Then i let reporting services pass the parameter to the report. When i try to preview the report, i get the following error:
An error occurred during local report processing, An error has occured during report processing, Cannot add multi value query parameter '?' for data set ... because it is not supported by the data extension
But when i type the query like this
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE (field IN ('value1','value2'))
it executes flawlessly.
I am using the IBM ole db driver for db2 if that matters
I have been working on this for quite some time and I can not figure out what I am doing wrong. I have a report filter called ItemFilter and I have declared as a report parameter where the multi value checkbox is checked. The values from this filter are coming from the item table. SO the users drilldown on the filter when they run the report an select the Items that they would like to display info for. I had the following code before in the where
where ([CRONUS International Ltd_$Item].No_ = @itemfilter). This only worked if they selected on item from the list.
I want them to be able to select multiple Items or all. The code above did not work because there were commas separating one item from the other and I was getting an error.
I changed to
whrere
([CRONUS International Ltd_$Item].No_ IN (@itemfilter)).
Now this only returns the first item that I enter on my Itemfilter parameter.
Does anyone have any clue in regards to this ?? I am sure I am using the wrong syntax, but I do not know what to change it too.
I've designed a Reporting Services report that has a multi-value parameter. The report works just great. The only issue I'm running into is that the users are complaining that when they want to select the values, within the multi-value parameter box, they have to scroll it to the sides way too much. This also makes them select values by mistake.
Is there away to inscrease the width of the multi-value parameter box?
I am experiencing a problem with the multi-value parameter dropdown in the ReportViewer when using FireFox, but in IE it seems to work fine. The symptom is when I click on the dropdown the list of options appears and then quickly disappears before I can select anything and I only experience the problem with multi-value parameters. I also have noticed that the dropdown is grayed out but I can still click it. Also, the position of the dropdown options are different in FireFox (pushed all the way to the left). I have created a very basic example at https://www.register4this.com/testreport.aspx to demonstrate the problem. There is no report, only the single "Orgs" parameter to keep things as simple as possible.
I suspect that I am missing something obvious because I haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this issue so any help would be appreciated. My ReportView control is configured as follows:
Is it possible to pass a multi value parameter from one report to another using the "jump to report" feature?
ie;
I have report A that has a mutli value parameter (para1). This report has a link with the action property set to jump to another report(Report B). Report B requires the same multivalue parameter. I have tries setting the parameter in the interface as well as trying the join function. Nothing seems to pass the values correctly.
Code Snippet SELECT ..., dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear(..., @countryId ,...) AS HoursYear FROM .... WHERE cast(detail.COUNTRY_ID as nvarchar(max)) IN (@countryId) AND ... GROUP BY ...
countryId is defined as a String multi-valued parameter. The getActivitySinceBeginningYear is defined as follows:
Code Snippet ALTER FUNCTION dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear ( ... @countryId ntext, ... ) RETURNS decimal(18,5) AS BEGIN declare @return decimal(18,5) set @return = 0.0
SELECT @return = SUM(detail.HOURS_WORKED) FROM ... inner join charlist_to_table(@countryId, Default) f on detail.COUNTRY_ID = f.str WHERE ... RETURN @return END
This function works as expected if I transmit one ID or several. The report works fine if I check only one ID. If I check several IDs, the report displays this error: Procedure or function dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear has too many arguments specified.
Why???
My second problem is with the Where clause:
Code Snippet WHERE cast(detail.COUNTRY_ID as nvarchar(max)) IN (@countryId)
If I do:
Code SnippetWHERE detail.COUNTRY_ID IN (@countryId)
I have the following error: Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '3,5' to data type int. (I transmitted 3 and 5 for countryId)
That's why I tried to use a cast, but the data returned by the query is wrong when I transmit several value. ??
Hello I created a table adapter with the following query select * from building where buildingname in (@param1) I used the query builder to the test the query and it works ok if I pass a single value ex: name: @param1 value: Building1 but when I use the value: Building1, Building2 then it doesn't return anything If i do a direct sql: select * from building where buildingname in ('Buiding1','Buiding2') returns many rows. Now I have a class that has the following function<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Select, False)> _ Public Function getBuilding(ByVal building As String) As myDataSet.buildingDataTableReturn adapter.getBuilding(building) End Function When I call this function I try to pass the building value sorta like dim building as string = 'Building1,Building2' and it doesn't work. I tried a whole bunch of variations. How are you supposed to format the parameter string? Thanks Peter
Hello. I have a multi value parameter in my report. I want to know how can I display all of the selected values in this parameter in a text box. Whan I try to use this parameter in a textBox it automaticly take the value: Parameter.param.Value(0) Whice take only the first select value.
Basically I had 2 paramater which ComputerName and MemberName.
The membername was set as Multi-Value as sets as follow: Label: Value: Exclude Domain Admins Domain Admins Exclude Local Install Local Install
And the query is:
SELECT id, ComputerName, GroupName, MemberName, ScanDate FROM GROUPMEMBERS WITH (NOLOCK) WHERE ComputerCN LIKE '%' + @ComputerName + '%' AND MemberName NOT IN (@MemberName) ORDER BY ComputerName ASC
The prompt is like this: Computer Name [ ] Excluded by [ ]
The issue is in the second prompt I have to select "something" which is I don't want to. I want the user to have this parameter as an optional.
I have a query :Exec 'Select * From Receiving Where Code In (' + @pCode + ')'@pCode will contain more than one string parameter, eg : A1, A2, A3How can i write that parameters, I try use :set @pCode='A1','A2','A3'but get an error : Incorrect syntax near ','Please help meThanks
At the top of my report, if I want to display the selected value for a given parameter, I can put this expression in a text box:
="The xyz param's value is: " & Parameters!paramXYZ.Label(0).ToString
How do I go about displaying all the selected values for a multi-value parameter (one that has mulitple checkboxes in the drop-down list)? Is it possible to do a for loop and iterate through the values of the param within an expression? Something like
for i = 0 to Parameters!paramXYZ.Count - 1 mystring = mystring & ", " & Parameters!paramXYZ.Label(i).ToString
And then display mystring in the textbox? Or can I use a list control on the report?
