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.
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.
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 Start Date and End Date parameter in my SSRS report. The results are off by 1 day. For example if I enter 4/2/2015 and 4/20/2015 it will return a few results from 4/1/2015 to 4/19/2015.
Hoping someone may be able to help with a problem I'm having with SSRS parameters....
My report has 2 parameters - the User Id used to login to the application and the Department(s) within the organisation. Based upon the User's role, the user may have access to data for one or many Departments.
Thus, the first parameter needs to be set in code based upon the User's login, however, the range of the second parameter (i.e. the range of Departments that the user can access) is controlled by the value of the first parameter.
The second parameter is to appear as a drop-down of Departments to which the User has access.
The report is to be produced for the selected Department.
Are you able to advise how to restrict the range of values for the second parameter based upon the value of the first parameter?
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.
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?
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
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
I am attempting to write a SQL query that retrieves info processed between two times (ie. 2:00 pm to 6:00 pm) during a date range (ie. 8/1/06 to 8/14/06)... I am new to SQL and am perplexed... I have referenced several texts, but have not found a solution. Even being pointed in the right direction would be greatly appreciated!!
I'm running a pre-defined script which used to work fine on a file which was resupplied every month. below is the script used and the error message. looking at the error I assume that there is a rouge record within the file but have looked in Textpad and cannot find it.

I have 2 tables, one is table A which stores Resources Assign to work for a certain period. The structure is as below
Name StartDate EndDate Tan 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Max 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Alan 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 2015-04-02 00:30:00.000
The table B stores the item process time. The structure is as below
Item ProcessStartDate ProcessEndDate V 2015-04-01 09:30:10.000 2015-04-01 09:34:45.000 Q 2015-04-01 10:39:01.000 2015-04-01 10:41:11.000 W 2015-04-01 11:44:00.000 2015-04-01 11:46:25.000 A 2015-04-01 16:40:10.000 2015-04-01 16:42:45.000 B 2015-04-01 16:43:01.000 2015-04-01 16:45:11.000 C 2015-04-01 16:47:00.000 2015-04-01 16:49:25.000
I need to select the item which process in 2015-04-01 16:40:00 and 2015-04-01 17:30:00. Beside that I need to know how many resource is assigned to process the item in that period of time. I only has the start date is 2015-04-01 16:40:00 and end date is 2015-04-01 17:30:00. How I can select the data from both tables. There is no need for JOIN, just seperate selections.
Another item process time is in 2015-04-01 10:00:00 and 2015-04-04 11:50:59.
The result expected is
Table A
Name StartDate EndDate Alan 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 2015-04-02 00:30:00.000
Table B
Item ProcessStartDate ProcessEndDate A 2015-04-01 16:30:10.000 2015-04-01 16:32:45.000 B 2015-04-01 16:33:01.000 2015-04-01 16:35:11.000 C 2015-04-01 16:37:00.000 2015-04-02 16:39:25.000
Scenario 2 expected result
Table A
Name StartDate EndDate Tan 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000 Max 2015-04-01 08:30:00.000 2015-04-01 16:30:00.000
I have a need to select rows where values in a column are within a range AND ALSO the first row that is highest (MAX) but just UNDER the range. For example:
NAME VAL Jim 4 John 5 Tom 6 Julie 7 Rich 8 Rob 9
RANGE TO SELECT is 6-8 (inclusive)
Rows with a value in the range are returned (6, 7, & 8) as well as the row with a highest value that is JUST BELOW the range (5)
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:

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???
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,

Is it possible to create a constraint at the database level which implements the needs when cardinallity between two tables is definied as a range in the logical datamodel (examle 1 to 5-10). When yes, how can this be reached? When no, what is the best practise for these situations?
I've been trying to get a range of values out of my SQL Server 2000 db without sucess. The field in question has the data type of char(8) and looks like this:
House_numbr_pub (leading spaces in front of each value) 140A 140 141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150 151 14500
Does anyone know of a sql statement that will return 140-150 including the 140A, but excluding the ' 14500'
