Can anybody please let me know if cascading parameter feature of Report Designer can be implemented in Report Builder in any possible way (using filter or report parameters).
We have a scenario where the end user wants to create an adhoc report with two input parameters (or filters). Both the parameters will be selected from a list of available values at run time. The problem is that the second parameter's list of values should be populated based on what is selected in the first parameter.
Guys, In my report builder when I drag the SKU in the filter area, its doesnt give me the dropdown and show me the distinct values, it just gives me a text box and expects me to type in the SKU. I have other attributes whcih have the same property as SKU but they all work fine when I drag them into Filter area.
Is there a limitation in reporting svcs where if the Field has more than "n" number of distinct records it will not populate the dropdown, instead just present you with a text box?
My DataModel Table has around 110K records and roughly 7K distinct SKU's
I compared the SKU field to other fields in the Report Model Designer and also DataSource View and nothing seems to be out of normal to not show the dropdown with distinct values except for the # of distinct records.
When applying a filter in Report Builder the filter will timeout when loading data for the filter. It does not happen all of the time seems to happen more often during the business day. Has anyone else run into this probelm? Is there a way to increase the timeout?
Im creating a filter in Report Builder with a start date and an end date. That is I want the user to able to choose a dateinterval. How do I change the label shown in the report for the interval. I want it to say Startdate and Enddate not what I have in my Sql server
I have built a data model in visual studio that I am using with report builder in reporting services. The data model is using data from a view in SQL Server 2005. I am trying to apply a filter to the data model to restrict the data available in report builder. I know that I could change the code for the view and filter that data that way, but I would rather creates two models each one producing differnt sets of filtered data. I have tried adding a filter to the data model, but it does not seem to work. Do anyone have any suggestions?
when i use a filter in report builder, it's not able to retrieve the information to populate the dropdown menu, the dropdown menu is empty. I get a triangle with exclamation mark and the following message and the drop down box is not being populated:
the requested list could not be retrieved because the query is not valid or connection could not be made to datasource
I am able to generate reports but not able to use filter. what could cause this issue ?
I am trying to use a wildcard in a Filter condition within a SSRS - Report Builder report.
Are wildcards of anytime in fact allowed in this tool? I get errors when I try to use SQL-like wildcards such as '%'. I've also been unable to find any mention of "wildcards" in HELP.
My Problem ========= I have a problem with a parameter drop down that is on my report. On one report server (i.e. a SQL Server Reporting Server instance), the drop down data is ordered correctly. On another, it appears to be random.
The report is created using Report Builder v9.0.2047.0.
I have used SQL Server Profiler and I have found that an "order by" clause is appended on one of the report servers, while it is excluded on another.
About my Set-up ============ I have configured multiple report servers (i.e. SQL Server Reporting Server instances) on a single SQL Server 2005 instance. The SQL Server 2005 details are: productversion = 9.00.3054.00 productlevel = SP2 edition = Standard Edition (64-bit)
Another post (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1379591&SiteID=1) puts this problem down to SP2. However, both my report servers are on the same SQL server instance.
I also see that Bob has a blog on a possible solution for this: http://blogs.msdn.com/bobmeyers/archive/2007/10/11/sorting-the-values-in-parameter-dropdowns-in-report-builder.aspx. However, I would like to understand why the report is behaving differently.
In Report Builder, can you link prompt/filter fields to one another? For instance, I have Users and Groups and I want to dynamically fill the dropdown for Users based on the Group(s) chosen in the group prompt/filter. Or show the hierarchy as a expanding tree list for navigating the hierarchy to choose the user/groups to report on.
Another example would be product category & subcategory in adventure works.
And just to throw in a wrench, one of the areas I want to do this has 4 levels to the hierarchy.
Hope someone can help here. Since installing Service Pack 2 onto our SQL 2005 instances our report models are not working correctly. When selecting fields within the models as filters, and getting them to prompt when the report is run, the ordering of the data within the filters does not match the selected ordering in the model definition. The ordering is random each time the report is run.
This issue does not happen when setting the filter up, the data appears in the correct order, but when running the report the filter data is incorrect.
I have spent the last 4 hours building a new system and testing this with each stage of service packing. The RTM version of SQL 2005 is ok, SP1 is also OK, but when SP2 is applied the ordering fails.
I have to filter my report with the date parameter. Custom Dates are comming from the database.
I have to filter with the date just previous Date which user selected as a parameter.
As an example if parameter contains 2/04/2008 , 10/04/2008, 14/04/2008, 16/04/2008 and user is selecting 14/04/2008 then I want to filter the data from just previous parameter i.e. 10/04/2008
Can u help to to solve my problem . Many time this question arised in the forum no one answer to me to find out the solution for my problem. So please help
I am using report builder thru LocalHostReport . I want a drill through report by using Report Builder and cube . I created the report but unfortunatly I cannot create a drill through report using parameters .How can I pass parameter in report1 to jump into report2 .
When I running the report after giving drill through properties in report the following error will occure.
'The 'DrillthroughSourceQuery' parameter is missing a value
How can I create a report using parameter for drill down in report builder
I installed the hot fix RS2005-KB920794-x86-ENU.exe, what supposes to solve the problem that "selection of multiple values in parameters of a report" generated in Report Builder is possible. Unfortunatly, this issue is not solved by the hot fix.
I have a date filter, and I default it to first day this month and last day this month under relative date, when I run it it givis me error:
The Value expression for the report parameter €˜FromDate€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'Date' is not a member of 'Integer'. (rsCompilerErrorInExpression)
Is it possible to have different chart (having their dataset from same shared datasets) like six on one report, then secondly can they all respond to same parameter filter.
I have used my parameter value in where clause of my dataset control SQL query. When I choose a single value in my multiple-value parameter then I get output as expected. Hovewer when I choose multuple values I get an arror:
Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS. ---------------------------- Query execution failed for dataset 'DATABASE'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
I am convinced that it's a syntax problem. Is there a way I can change syntax of data output from query:
select @parameter
I need output to be like: value, value, value ... etc.
The dataset control query looks something like the following:
select ID, a, b, c, d from DATASET.dbo.Table where ID in (select @parameter)
I have been searching through google for weeks to solve this and got this far and got stuck. Is it possible at all to achieve what I am looking for?
I am creating a SSRS report using a SSAS cube as it data source. The user would like to select multiple values from a reporting parameter that is then used as a filter on the MDX statement. I am bale to have the report work successfully when only one value is selected but not when multiple values are selected; the report uses only the first value from the reporting parameter when it contains multiple values. How do I filter an MDX query using a SSRS report parameter with multiple values?
Currently, I want to get images of an item in my report for illustration purpose.
Below is my query to get image for item 'GL-10000' in the database. However, I would like to pass a parameter value, '@sItem', from my report so that it would get all related pics of items. Â
SQL Query:
Select top 1 item_picture_mst.picture from item_picture_mst where item_picture_mst.item in (select item_all.item from item_all where item_all.item = 'GL-10000') ORDER BY item_picture_mst.picture DESC;
I would like to have a parameter on my report to Select by Order_Taken_By. My attempt at that is here:
Dataset called OrderTaken:
select distinct SO_Header.Order_Taken_By from SO_Header Under the report Parameter Properties named @Order, under Available Values Selected "Get Values from a query"
I have DataSet: OrderTaken
Value Field: Order_Taken_By Label Field: Order_Taken_By
The values of the field Order_Taken_By is all text characters, no integer values.
Running the inital Query by itself yields results. When I add the parameter, I can make a selection, but now I get no results, even though there should be values for the choice I've chosen.
Based on a table like below I have created a report so that I can compare number of items in the main warehouse (LOCATION1) and the outlets (LOCATION2 and LOCATION3).
___________________________________ | ID | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION Â | VALUE | ___________________________________ | 1 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 2 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 3 Â | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 4 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 5 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 6 Â | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 7 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION1 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 8 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION2 | 0 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________ | 9 Â | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â | LOCATION3 | 1 Â Â Â Â | ___________________________________
The way I present data in my Report is as such. I want to show items that are available in the warehouse that should be moved to the outlets.
select  a.PRODUCT_INDEX , a.LOCATION1(VALUE) , b.LOCATION2(VALUE) , c.LOCATION3(VALUE)  fromÂ
[Code] .....
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX2 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
I have added some parameters in my report to filter out products that are not available in warehouse (LOCATION1) and this works great.
select * from VIEW where 'LOCATION1(VALUE)' > 0 and ('LOCATION2(VALUE)' = 0 or 'LOCATION3(VALUE)' = 0)
__________________________________________________________________ | PRODUCT_INDEX | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | LOCATION3 (VALUE)| __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________________________
Now the issue starts when I add a parameter to my report for user to choose which outlets (LOCATIONs) he wants in the equation. I know how to make a column disappear based on parameter value but how to take it out of equation? At the moment when user selects only LOCATION2 and not LOCATION3 then data is not filtered correctly:
__________________________________________________ | JOIN_ON_VALUES | LOCATION1 (VALUE) | LOCATION2 (VALUE) | __________________________________________________ | INDEX1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________ | INDEX3 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 1 Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â | 0 Â Â Â Â Â | __________________________________________________
Ideally I would like a user to select random outlets (warehouse would be static on the report) and compare one or multiple and only show records that are 0 in the outlets.
I have searched everywhere for this and I can't find any information on it. When I use the Query Builder, in the top pane, the Filter pane, there are five columnsimension, Hierarchy, Operator, Filter Expession and Parameters.
In the dropdown for Operator, one of the choices is MDX. I cannot find any documentation on how to use this operator. I want to limit my filter to SELF_AND_AFTER, and I am hoping that this is possible using this operator. I know how to hand code it, but I have a ton of other tweaks to make to the query, so I want to use the Query Designer as much as I can.
Does anyone have any links to documentation on how to use this operator?
I just created a report builder. I have a main report and i wanted to create a sub report. why i cant or i cant view the path or the folder of my .rdl file to be use as my sub report.
After I use the report builder to create a generic report, how do I actually get that report into the report designer so that I can modify it more effectivly?
The issue that I have now is that the file on the report server is not a .rdl file and if I simply save it as one and then bring it into VS to modify it the code file is a html structure rater than a XML file type.
I want to use this as the data from which to build a report model. As linked servers don't show up in the Data Source View wizard, I created a view in SQL Server:
create view MyExcel as select * from XL_SPS_1...Sheet1$
Okay, great, now the view shows up in the DSV wizard and I can create the data source view. However, when I create a new report model based on this data source view, the Report Model Wizard tells me at "Create entities for all tables" that I've got an error when it processes dbo_MyExcel that "Table does not have a primary key."
I assume this is where the identifying attributes for the entities in the report model are taken from, so I really can't go further. Does anyone have an idea as to how to add a primary key to a linked server (Excel) in SQL 2005? Can this be done? Other than importing spreadsheet data to a SQL table, how can I get around this?
We have a remote business client who has a proxy server setup and this translates into receiving a 407 proxy authentication blocking error when attempting to download the report builder application for deployment off the report server which is housed locally with us. The proxy server does not allow them to download application type files off another site. At the moment, they would not like to disable the proxy for these users to allow them to deploy the application on their client or add the report server as a trusted site. Is there a method by which Report Builder can be locally installed on the client pc instead of online only with it knowing the correct report server to access and then still launch correctly when the report builder button is pressed through report manager?
I am not a web application guru by any means and we have tried to replicate the oneclick deployment and what occurs in the local settings/apps/2.0 subdirectories, but the application still attempts to download/install again. If we attempt to just launch the local executable on the client, report builder assumes the client pc (localhost) is the report server to access. Is there a method which will succeed?
I have installed SQL Server Reporting Service on window xp. everything working fine except one thing.
I have installed sql server with my a/c. my a/c have admin rights. when i giving http://dineshpatel/reports it is displaying page but Report Builder and other option are not displaying. I hope i don't have admin rights.
I have checked with local administrator login also but same problem.
what additional setting are require for admin rights?
I have a report builder drill down report. I have row groups with totals.   It looks like the attached.  The problem is when the report is not expanded the Grand Totals column is not accurate... it is displaying the totals of one of the rows when expanded.The expression in the Total Show text box is
= Switch (                                    MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7)="THERAPY",                                Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO", CDbl(Fields!TX_CO.Value),      Nothing)),  MID(Fields!protocol_id.Value,1,7) = "GENERAL" and                          MID(Fields!program_id.Value,1,6) = "INTAKE",                             Sum(IIF(Fields!status.Value = "CO",
[code]...
Is there any way to not display the expression in the Total columns unless the report is expanded?
I added a new windows user "ReportUser" which is a local user (not in administrator group). When I connect to the report manage's web page, I use reportuser to log in (when the anonymous access is disabled it will ask a log in). Report builder icon is not showing up on the report manager home page.
If I log in as a user in administrator group, the reportr builder icon shows up so I can download it and build report.
I have assigned reportuser "Content manager" and "repoter builder" access to the home folder. Is there anything else I have to do to make the report build icon show up on the home page?
