MultiValued Parameters.
Mar 27, 2008
Hello All,
Initially in my report, I was not having any MultiValued Parameters. So when I was displaying the reports to the end user, I was displaying the parameter selected by the user in the textbox.
But 2 parameters are now MultiValued. Shall I display to the user the parameters he selects.
If the user selects 30 parameters, then the major part of the report page is occupied by the parameter list that is selected.
I havent worked much on SSRS. So I am not aware of the best practices for SSRS.
I just want a suggesstion from you people. Shall I display the parameters list to the end user ? If yes then how, so that I can reduce the space occupied by the parameter list. Eg.using sub-reports, list, etc.
If no, then why ? because Initially I was having a requirement to display the parameter list because there were no multivalued parameters. But now 2 of them are multivalued parameters.
Thanks & Regards,
Kapadia Shalin P.

Hi all,
We are using Reporting Services 2005 with Analysis Services 2005 data source.
So far we only had multivalued parameters without any range.
now we are to add a report parameter income group which would have values
Below $75,000 , $75,000 - $120,000, $120,000 - $220000 .....,Above 220000.
Now the user can select multiple range values.. Eg( Below $75,000 , $85,000 - $95,000 , Above $100,000 )
We have to filter the cube with this user selected multiple range values.
Please tell me how to do this in MDX..
Thanks,
Looking Forward your replies

Hi,
I have the folowing problem with RS2005.
I have 2 parameters in my report. Firs one is a list of projects which is a single select. The second one allows to select multiple employees.
When I select a project from the first parameter, the list in second parameter gets narrowed to list of employees that are assigned to this project.
The unexpected behaviour:
1. I select "Proj1" from first parameter
2. The second parameter gets narrowed. I select "Select All" employees
3. I generate my report. OK
4. I change the selection in first param to "Proj2"
5. The second parameter gets narrowed, but employees that are common for "Proj1" and "Proj2" are still selected, which is unwanted. ERR
The users of this report gets confused as they generate the report just after point 4. and they think all employees are still selected.
What I want to do is uncheck all employees from second parameter every time the first one is changed. That would cause the user to get a prompt for selecting second parameter.
Is there a way I can do this? Any clue would be nice.
Best Regards.

Hi All,
I Hope someone can help me out with this problem.. its pretty NB.
I have a pair of multivalued parameters. So, parent and child... the child needs to get its selection based on the selection made by the user on the parent parameter ( the child parameter is hidden).
Fictional values:
Parent Parameter: SelectAll, ALL , 1 , 2
Child Parameter: Home, Work, Play
If user selects "ALL" from the parent parameter I need Home and Play selected.
My idea was this:
=iif(Parameters!Parent.Value(1) = "All","Home,Play") <-- in Available values.
However, the dataset that reads this value does not like the coma delimited string.
This dataset is a cube created dataset, reading the child parameter.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Neil

I have a multivalued drop down menu that isn't wide enough to display the entire label. It only displays about half of the label. The text it is trying to display should look like "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone 2 - Global Zone 3 - Global Zone 4", and the only visible text is "Global Zone 1 - Global Zone2". It does have a scroll bar at the bottom, but it is ridiculous.
When I set it to not be multivalued, the drop down menu grows to the size of my label. The menu has plenty of space to grow, it is only taking up a very small amount of the screen.
Is there any way to correct this issue?
Thanks

Hello everyone
I have a multivalued parameter called param_state
I am trying to output the values off what is selected to a textbox so the user can see what was selected
I have entered the following expression in a text box
= "Sales rep for " & Parameters!Param_State.Value
I get an error for this and if I enter it as
= "Sales rep for " & Parameters!Param_State.Value(0)
I get only the first state.
Is there a way to show what was selected ?
thanks

Hello,
my problem is that i have a integer report parameter that must be multivalued. The parameter is populated by query. The thing is that in the beginning, there is no data in the dataset of the specific parameter. The table which is source to the dataset will br populated after some time from an XML.
Reporting services prompts the user to select a value for the parameter. But there is no value to select, yet. I cannot have leave blank because it is a string and not an int and i cannot have null because the parameter is multivalued. Any suggestions?
Thank you for your time and help!

I have a multivalued parameters populated from a dataset with country codes: US,CA,HK etc... I tried to pass the parameter to the stored procedured but that did not work. I did some research and found out that I won't be able to do that.
Writing Queries that Map to Multivalued Report Parameters
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155917.aspx
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create. However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services.
The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure.
The query must use an IN statement to specify the parameter.
If I am not able to pass the parameter that way, what is the best way to accomplish my goal?
Thanks,
Elie

Hi all,
From the "How to Call a Parameterized Stored Procedure by Using ADO.NET and Visual Basic.NET" in http://support.microsft.com/kb/308049, I copied the following code to a project "pubsTestProc1.vb" of my VB 2005 Express Windows Application:
Imports System.Data
Imports System.Data.SqlClient
Imports System.Data.SqlDbType
Public Class Form1
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim PubsConn As SqlConnection = New SqlConnection("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;integrated security=sspi;" & "initial Catalog=pubs;")
Dim testCMD As SqlCommand = New SqlCommand("TestProcedure", PubsConn)
testCMD.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure
Dim RetValue As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("RetValue", SqlDbType.Int)
RetValue.Direction = ParameterDirection.ReturnValue
Dim auIDIN As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("@au_idIN", SqlDbType.VarChar, 11)
auIDIN.Direction = ParameterDirection.Input
Dim NumTitles As SqlParameter = testCMD.Parameters.Add("@numtitlesout", SqlDbType.Int)
NumTitles.Direction = ParameterDirection.Output
auIDIN.Value = "213-46-8915"
PubsConn.Open()
Dim myReader As SqlDataReader = testCMD.ExecuteReader()
Console.WriteLine("Book Titles for this Author:")
Do While myReader.Read
Console.WriteLine("{0}", myReader.GetString(2))
Loop
myReader.Close()
Console.WriteLine("Return Value: " & (RetValue.Value))
Console.WriteLine("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value))
End Sub
End Class
//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
The original article uses the code statements in pink for the Console Applcation of VB.NET. I do not know how to print out the output of ("Book Titles for this Author:"), ("{0}", myReader.GetString(2)), ("Return Value: " & (RetValue.Value)) and ("Number of Records: " & (NumTitles.Value)) in the Windows Application Form1 of my VB 2005 Express. Please help and advise.
Thanks in advance,

I have a SSRS report with four parameters,and I want to be able to enter information for two of the parameters and run the report opposed to all four of them. However, when I select allow blanks and only select the parameters that I want to run the report by, the report come back blank..Essentially, I want to be able to the run report by different parameters without having to enter information for all parameters at the same time.

Hi,
I have an app in C# that executes a query using SQLCommand and parameters and is taking too much time to execute.
I open a SQLProfiler and this is what I have :
exec sp_executesql N' SELECT TranDateTime ... WHERE CustomerId = @CustomerId',
N'@CustomerId nvarchar(4000)', @CustomerId = N'11111
I ran the same query directly from Query Analyzer and take the same amount of time to execute (about 8 seconds)
I decided to take the parameters out and concatenate the value and it takes less than 2 second to execute.
Here it comes the first question...
Why does using parameters takes way too much time more than not using parameters?
Then, I decided to move the query to a Stored Procedure and it executes in a snap too.
The only problem I have using a SP is that the query can receive more than 1 parameter and up to 5 parameters, which is easy to build in the application but not in the SP
I usually do it something like
(@CustomerId is null or CustomerId = @CustomerId) but it generate a table scan and with a table with a few mills of records is not a good idea to have such scan.
Is there a way to handle "dynamic parameters" in a efficient way???

Hello:
I just recently bumped into this problem and I think I know what's causing it. This is the setup:
Report Parameters: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice, Manager, SalesRep
dsCalendarEvents Parameters: FromDate.Value, ToDate.Value, DivisionalOffice.Value,
dsDivisions Parameters: N/A
dsManager Parameters: DivisionalOffice.Value
dsSalesRep: DivisionalOffice.Label
When I query the ReportServices WS and scan the parameter dependencies for SalesRep it says there are four dependencies: FromDate, ToDate, DivisionalOffice and Manager!!!
If I change "dsSalesRep" to use "DivisionalOffice.Value" the ReportingServices WS parameter dependency scan returns only one dependency for "SalesRep" parameter!!!( This is the correct behavior )
Has anybody seen this behavior and more importantly, is there a work around?

Hello all,
Given:
string commandText = "Categories_Delete";SqlCommand myCommand = new SqlCommand(commandText, connection);myCommand.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure;
Is there a reason NOT to use myCommand.Parameters.AddWithValue("@CategoryID",CategoryID); I'd prefer to use that over myCommand.Parameters.Add("@CategoryID", SqlDbType.Int, 4).Value = CategoryID; as I have these functions being created dynamically and hope to get away from a big lookup to try to convert System.Types into SqlDbTypes. [shudder]
It seems that ADO.NET makes an implicit conversion to the valid type. If this is correct then I can move on fat dumb and happy. Anyone have any good insight?
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble with SQL Parameters. I can't seem to define the type when creating the parameters.
Here's what I've done:
I have a function that processes my request and returns a datatable:
Public Function Grab_Data(querystring asn string, params() as SqlParameter) as DataTable
... dims all the necessary variables
Try
...creates the connection and command
Dim p as SqlParameter
For each p in params
p = command.parameters.add(p)
p.direction = parameterdirection.input
Next
...opens connection, creates dataset and fills it
Finall
....disposes connection and command
End Try
Return datatable
End Function
I call this function by:
...dim the necessary variables
querystring = "SELECT * FROM Tbl_Users WHERE Joined>=@date"
dataTable = Grab_Data(querystring, New SQLParameter("@date", DateTime.Today))
My code works fine and I get the results that I want, but no where in my code is the type of the parameter defined.
I tried calling the function like:
Grab_Data(querystring, New SQLParameter("@date", SQLDBType.DateTime, DateTime.Today))
But when I do this, I get an error saying that no value is assigned to @date.
Can anyone tell me what I need to modify so that I can pass the type of the parameter to the function?
The reason why I am not explicity defining the parameters in the function is because I can reusing the function numerous times throughout my code. So some calls have three parameters passed to it and some and none.
Thanks.

Hi all, I am using classic ASP and SQL Server 2005. Can I use parameters like @whatever in my asp code or are they for stored procedures exclusively?

I'm trying to do this:
ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.SkillSearch
(
@skillname char(255)
)
AS
SET NOCOUNT ON
SELECT * FROM Skill WHERE SkillName LIKE @skillname
However, when I run dbo.skillsearch 'ph%'
I get an empty set, while dbo.skillsearch 'php' returns the results expected.
I am therefore assuming that I can't use a parameter for a LIKE clause with any wildcards?
Is there any way around this other than manually building the SQL statement in the SP and then executing it? I'd obviously prefer to not have to do it that way for all the SQL Injections and related reasons.
Wouldn't this also kill my query optimization benefits, manually building the statement each time?
Thanks,

I have a table of 25-30 million properties, from which are retrieved~150 centered on a point, based on the parameters -- coordinates,property type and date of transaction. There's an SP (also implementedas a function returning a table) to return the desired records.This look-up takes the most time in the C# program that calls it, andshould be optimized. It was suggested that instead of having an SP onthe server, each time the program should create an SP that is the same,however without any parameters -- with the values hard-coded. Thenexecute it, and drop it. This way, the execution plan will becustomized for the specific parameters. I tried it and it turns outthe suggested method is noticeably faster, even compared to recompilingan SP every time. I was wondering if there is a way to get equivalentperformance out of an SP or UDF that has parameters, or is thisapproach necessarily going to be less optimized than hard-codednon-parameters.Thanks,Jim
