Need Help With Reporting Parameters
Mar 20, 2007
I am new to resporting servies. I am using VS2003 with SQL Server 2005. I have a report parameter called TestStep which I populate from a stored procedure. The values are something like Step1, Step2, and so on.
Now I use this parameter to filter the results of another stored procedure to only show results based on the test step. What I would like to do is give the user the ability where if he/she selects 'ALL' in TestStep then I retrieve results for all the test steps.
So far, I have been able to display Step1, Step2 etc. in my TestStep parameters and then use the value selected by the user to filter the results. I would like to display results from all TestSteps in case user selects 'ALL' in the TestStep parameters. How would I add 'ALL' as an option into my TestStep parameter and then use filter only if TestStep is not equal to 'ALL' ? I can't change the stored procedures.

Hi,
I have created a reporting model.
When i use this model to create a report, all goes well.
But now i want to add date parameters (from ... to) to this report.
When i add my parameters in my reporting parameters (i use visual studio to create my reports)
i get the calender to select a from and to date.
but when i generate my report, i get the whole date range available in my database (so the parameters
are not used).
I tried to create a filter in my dataset, but there i cannot specify the parameters i created (error : from is not a date. i also tried @From but that doesn't work either)
anybody have an idea how i can add parameters ? but it must be based on reporting model.

I am trying to figure how to programmatically pass parameters to the report in SQL Reporting Services using web service API and then send this report to the printer. I found code in C# on how to print and it does work very well. I am hoping to add report parameters to this module. Any ideas, samples or help would really be appreciated.

Hi guys & gals
I'm just setting up Reporting Services for our company and it's a great product, no doubt about it. However, I've come across a problem I can't solve and I wonder if any of you can help.
I've produced a sales report and I want my users to be able to enter a list of sales periods to include on the report. For example, the user might want to view the report for periods 10,11,13,14 and 17 and exclude periods 12,15 and 16. Obviously, the underlying query will probably involve an IN() clause but I'm struggling to think of a way that the user might be able to enter these parameters.
The most obvious way might be by typing in a comma separated string, but I don't know how to then put those values into the query.
Anyone got any ideas?

Hi,
Not sure if I will be able to get the answer I need on this forum but hopefully I will!
We have a previous report that uses the code:
AND T1."Decision_Date" BETWEEN '2005-07-01 00:00:00.000' AND '2006-06-30 00:00:00.000' AND T1."Decision_Type_Description"
With this the report was run with the "static" dates, the new report (in MS reporting services) requires that the user be able to enter in the start date range and the end date range.
I have come up with something like:
(T1."Decision_Date" = @Start_Year) AND (T1."Decision_Date" = @End_Year)
But not working. Can anyone assist?
Thanks,
jonathanr

When creating a Reporting Services report and declaring local variables as part of your query in a dataset there is sometimes a problem. When you hit run in the Data section and the €œDefine Query Parameters€? box pops up, all the variables are not there. Sometimes when you go to properties (€¦) of that dataset the parameters are gone. Is this a bug? This is happening both in RS2000 and 2005.

I'm trying to create report with datasource as a cube. I'm able to connect to datasource to pull data with a single parameter. But, I'm unable to succeed in the following scenario:
I have a dimension "Period" as Paremeter.
The Period dimension has a hierarchy as year- quarter- month.
So, I would like to create a drilldown parameter for period as year - quarter - month.
Please let me know, how to acheive this.
thanks,
Naveen.

I have an asp.net app that is calling a reporting service url. on that url I pass two parameters as query strings. In the Report I defined the query string parameters in the Report Parameters. I then want these two parameters to be passed to the stored procedure in the report. How can I make this happen? The parameters seem to get to the Report but I can't seem to get them mapped to the stored proc. In the data set I defined the stored procs parameters and mapped them to the corresponding Report Parameters but still no go.
I'm assuming there's something fundamental I'm missing here about passing parameters to reporting services.
Thanks

1 report but different departments run this report with different parameters. Atm I have copied this report for the 4 departments and adjusted the default parameters accordingly (highly inefficient). Isn't there a way to just have one report and that I can adjust the default parameters in code based on user or group ?

Can we have more than 2 parameters displayed in a single row on report (when browsed using web browser). The parameters BY DEFAULT - seems to be lined up in an array of 2 columns, and N rows - which gets frustrating because so much of space is left blank (gray space just left of <View Report> button and to the right of parameters line-up).
How can we have more than 2 parameters displayed in one single row ? As this will help the actual report content to take up more space on the screen than the parametes taking up almost 1/2 of the screen.
Thanks a bunch for ideas.

Hi:
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.
Does anyone know if this is possible?

I have a Start Date and End Date parameter in my SSRS report. Â The results are off by 1 day. Â 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.

I have an MDX data-set query as follows: -
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]
Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit])
Select {[Measures].[Measure1]
,[Measures].[Measure2]
,[Measures].[Measure3]
[Code] ....
There are two parameters; the value of lag passed to the LastPeriods function, and tenancy types passed in the where clause
I have a third parameter I would like to use called FirstDate and this I would like to pass to the LastPeriods function as the second argument
FirstDate is a value from my Time dimension, something like [Time].[Fiscal Time].[Sep. 15]
When editing the query to: -
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]
Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit])
Select {[Measures].[Measure1]
,[Measures].[Measure2]
[Code] ....
The code errors. I have tried all sorts of formats such as  LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[@FirstDate]) and LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[Time].[Fiscal Time].[@FirstDate]), but nothing works

We've developed several reports where you can type in / select variables and run them, affecting their outcomes.
We'd like to change this so if the user clicks on a link from our Intranet, this takes them straight to the report with the appropriate parameter(s) - rather like the "jump to report" function within a report - i.e. the url for that function...
Is this possible?

Hi friends,
I am developing reports using SQL Server 2005 Reporting service
I want to pass optional parameters to Report using dropdown
I filled dataset using EmpId and EmpName. and assigned this dataset to
query the values.
I checked properties for Report Parameters of Allow Null, Allow Blank values
Even i checked this properties, it enforces me to Enter some value for dropdown while running or previewing the report
I don't want to enforce the user that value must be selected.
In short, How we can able to pass multiple parameters which are not mandatory.
Pls reply me ASAP
Any suggestion is appreciated
Thanks in Advance.
Regards

I am using SSRS 2008 with a SQL Server 2008 R2. It's been many years since i have used SSRS but i have used this and some other reporting tools in the past.I have created a cascading parameters where upon selecting 'ALL' or one of the other values in parameter A , the other values gets displayed in paramter B which is working in the Report builder. i am handling this in the dataset  query where i handle that through a case statement ( something like WHERE 1 = (CASE WHEN @Prm_A = 'ALL' THEN 1 END) OR  column_X= ( CASE WHEN  @Prm_A <>'ALL' THEN   @Prm_A END ).Also tried WHERE @Prm_A = 'ALL' OR column_X=  @Prm_A
This seems to work in the report builder on my machine or when i run it by editing the report on the web, but when i publish it on the report server, i don't see that behavior, meaning it does not cascade. I also tried to simplify it by making the query simple(WHERE column_X= Â @Prm_A ), Â but it still would not cascade on the web.Â

Hi all,
Is there any way to pass a dataset parameter in RS 2000? Basicly, I have some data in my web page and want to print it. But I don't want to create another page to pass parameters to RS. I want to print the page as it is with the data already in the page, so if there is a way I can send the data through a dataset to the report directly, would be great. Is there?
Thank you very much,
Marco

I have a report I'm working on that provides a census of members. These members have certain properties;
Load date,Report Type,Clinic,Care Manager,PCP Name.
The census is from an outside group and what I do is massage it for our internal databases and reports to our care managers.
The report starts out by returning only those entries that were received in the last report from the outside vendor and I filter each of the parameters by using a WITH statement and an INNER JOIN, as follows;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS
(
SELECT
MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
)
[Code] ...
The default is for all parameters to start out with all possible values for the current load date. But, I need to be able to filter the available - and default - values for each parameter based upon the selection of the other parameters.
So, the Load Date is built in by use of the CTE that is a part of all the parameters. But, I need the report to allow the end user to select from each of the others, but limiting what is avaliable for selection based upon the settings of the other parameters.
For example, the second parameter is the Report Type. It can be either "Hospital," or "SNF." But, not all Clinics, Care Managers or PCPs may have an entry in both types. So, if the user selects, say, "Hospital," all the parameters would alter their available and default values such that they only include options where the census shows they are a "Hospital" entry.But, not all Clinics in the most recent census may have both report types. So, if the end user selects a particular clinic, it would also recalculate the available and default values for Report Type, as well as those beneath it on the list. And, likewise for the remainder of the parameters.
My initial thought was to add WHERE statements to the datasets controlling each parameter, but SSRS keeps asking me to define the parameters when I click out of the dataset's properties. Now, I know that SSRS is a single pass process - and, I'll cross the bridge on adjusting parameters defined earlier in the list when I come to it - but I thought that parameters lower in the list would update, since they'd have their values defined.For instance, the Clinic parameter is after Report Type, so the code I used to set up Clinic was;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS
(
SELECT
MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
FROM
Census_Rpt_Final
)
SELECT DISTINCT
[code]....
But, this asks me to define @ReportType, even though it precedes Clinic on the parameter list.

I have developed some Reports using Reporting Services and I want to deploy them for access over the Internet.
These Reports allow the Users to specify parameters, such as Start and End Dates.
I am told that a User Interface has to be developed manually to provide this facility for some kind of security reason.
This seems very bizarre and the reason doesn€™t make much sense.
Is this really true ?
Thanks very much

Hi,
SQL Server Reporting Services 2005.
I have 13 parameters, ordered correctly within the Report Parameter screen.
When displayed in the Preview tab they are all ordered correctly, but when viewed in the application the first 4 are at the top but ordered incorrectly. The remainder are ordered correctly.
I have tried reordering, saving, deploying, viewing and then doing the same but in the correct order without any success.
Please can someone suggest how I can get the parameters to appear in the correct order within the application?
Thanking you,

basically i need the <Query></Query> XML used to make this happen. So far i'v eonly been able to statically create parameters, but that does me no good, i want the users to be able to pick a date range from RS dynamically to get the report.

I am creating a dashboard. It has two charts. One will utilize 'calendar year' data and other utilizes 'Fiscal Year' data.
I have 'CY start date', 'CY end date','FY start date', 'FY end date', 'Reference Date'Â columns in my data set.
I have a report parameter of date type that the user selects. When the user selects the date, I have to display the corresponding 'Fiscal Year' data for the entire year.
My question is, how can i filter the data set based on 'FY start date', 'FY end date' field values when i have only one Date parameter.
How can i get these data set field values based on parameter.

I am trying to query a list in sharepoint using its lists.asmx webservice and in turn its GetListItems call. I currently have the call working using the following code in the Querystring for the report
<Query>
<Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/" Name="GetListItems"/>
<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>
</Query>
This seems to work fine except that the list has some empty fields in the first record and for some unbelivable reason they (the empty fields) do not get returned as part of the dataset unless i put a value into them. I then came across a parameter for GetListItems called viewFields which is supposed to . Tehn sample Soap request is shown as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlnsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">
<listName>string</listName>
<viewName>string</viewName>
<query>
<xsdchema>schema</xsdchema>xml</query>
<viewFields>
<xsdchema>schema</xsdchema>xml</viewFields>
<rowLimit>string</rowLimit>
<queryOptions>
<xsdchema>schema</xsdchema>xml</queryOptions>
</GetListItems>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
As i have a parameter for viewfields setup.... What value do i pass to it ??? My XML is in its infancy but i though something along the lines of the following would do as an input.
<FieldRef Name='Title'/><FieldRef Name='Address1'/>
Also, maybe i am going the wrong way about this.Is there an easier way of defining the Parameters as part of the Querystring or do Parameters always have to be setup in the parameters tab (My Parameter values are static and will never change).
