Passing Multi-Selected Items To Reporting Server Using A URL
Nov 6, 2007
I have designed a report that allows the user to select multiple values to be passed to SSRS. When I deploy and run the report from Report Manager I can select 1 to n values and then run the report. It works great. Now I attempt to call Reporting Services from my Web Site. I format the URL and attempt to pass the mutliple values in the URL. An example would be http://YadaYada&rs:Command=Render&rs:Format=HTML4.0&rcarameters=false&OrderTypeID='1,2' The report uses a Stored Procedure that is expecting @Ordertype Varchar(1000). And Yes, the Stored Procedures handles the multiple values being passed to it. What I receive is an error message (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch). Any suggestions on how to pass these values?
I have a problem with report built in SSRS and deployed with Dashboard Designer to Sharepoint. There are few filters connected to report, 2 of them are multivalue. Regardless of data returned, when I select too many items in filter, the report is getting super small. It doesn't matter what you select, size changes when you select exact number of items or more. I replaced report with single line (filters where still conected) - result was the same.  Small amount of items selected:
More items selected:
Size of the raport in Dashboard Designer is set to "Percentage of dashboard page", when I selected autosize, result was the same.
Below are screenshots from my report                  When a user clicks on a amount it should pass the sales regions , so that the a new detailed report opens up. Sales regions are passed when the report is in expanded view like on the right. But when its collapsed it just passes only the top most value and not all the sales region to the detailed report.
I've set this value as parameter to the detailed reportÂ
=Fields!SalesRegion.Value
How do I change this so that all the sales regions from the selected row group are passed when collapsed? I've uploaded the image in case the page does not show up.
I've been running into this issue quite a few times, and have been unable to solve it through reading various posts/forums. Here is the issue
Software Details: Datawarehouse Database - SQL Server 2008 R2 Reporting Services Version - SSRS 2008 R2 Development Environment - Visual Studio 2008 Problem Details:
I have been writing reports based of a Relational Datamart with dimensions and facts. The report in question uses dimensions for parameters and facts for content. Multi valued parameters are enabled in the report query by using the 'IN(@Paramenter)' statement within the report query. It has a total of 6 multi-value parameters. I assign the same available values from dimension datasets for each parameter to it's default parameter. Theoretically all the values in the option lists should be selected after first render. This is not always the case.
Example: SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable WHERE TableColumn0 IN (@Parameter0) AND TableColumn1 IN(@Parameter1) AND ....N (continue syntax to 6 multi valued parameters) Â Some of the multi-value drop down lists are defaulting to have every value selected, and some are not. The problem is I need to know why some parameters are not selecting all by default when specified.
There is a multi value parameter called  "include" in the report where "Allow Multiple Values" is checked and it has 4 Available values as shown in the attached screen shots and preview of the report is also shown .There is no data set for this parameter and the values  will get displayed on the report based on the visibility condition set in the report.Example : If first value  is selected  then 1 is passed and based on the visibility condition set in the report - the report output is displayed.None is default value and has value 4  and when the report is run with this option i.e. "None" then rest three parameter values are not applicable .
Requirement : -When the end user selects (Select All) Check box then (None) -check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user -When the end user selects check boxes either of the first three except None then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for -selection for the end user -when the end user selects a combination of first three then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user -The None is set as default with a value as 4 and is applicable only when the user does not select either of the first three values and the report will run.
Hi: I'm try to create a stored procedure where I sum the amounts in an invoice and then store that summed amount in the Invoice record. My attempts at this have been me with the error "The multi-part identifier "items.TAX" could not be bound"Any help at correcting my procedure would be greatly appreciate. Regards,Roger Swetnam ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[UpdateInvoiceSummary] @Invoice_ID intAS DECLARE @Amount intBEGIN SELECT Invoice_ID, SUM(Rate * Quantity) AS Amount, SUM(PST) AS TAX FROM InvoiceItems AS items GROUP BY Invoice_ID HAVING (Invoice_ID = @Invoice_ID) Update Invoices SET Amount = items.Amount WHERE Invoice_ID =@Invoice_IDEND
Using SSRS 2008 r2...I have a report with a single-value parameter and three multi-value parameters, Class1, Name2 and Name3. I'm hoping for an explanation to one thing that I'm seeing and information on a second thing.
Class1 and Name2 both have the (Select All) parameter selected but Class1 is displaying the concatenated parameter variable list whereas Name2 is showing Null. Why is that? If anything, how can I get Class1 to be similar to Name2 and show Null?But my desired wish is to have Class1, Name2 and Name3 display the text"All Selected" when the parameter (Select All) is chosen.
How can i get ALL the selected items into the database? this loop only accepts one item. I have tried with a "clear" action, does not work.... protected void Button2_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (Page.IsValid) { // Define data objects SqlConnection conn; SqlCommand comm; // Open the connection string connectionString = ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["ConnectionString"].ConnectionString; // Initialize connection conn = new SqlConnection(connectionString); // Create command comm = new SqlCommand("INSERT INTO TestTabel (TestNavn) VALUES (@TestNavn)",conn); // Add command parameters foreach (ListItem item in TestListBox.Items) { if (item.Selected) { comm.Parameters.Add("@TestNavn", System.Data.SqlDbType.NVarChar); comm.Parameters["@TestNavn"].Value = Item.Text; } } // Enclose database code in Try-Catch-Finally try { // Open the connection conn.Open(); // Execute the command comm.ExecuteNonQuery(); // Reload page if the query executed successfully Response.Redirect("Default.aspx"); } catch(Exception Arg) { Response.Write(Arg.Message); // Display error message Label1.Text = "Error !"; } finally { // Close the connection conn.Close(); } } }
Can this be done? I have a procedure where I have Values and Selected Table items that have to be inserted into a nother table that require them to be stored in the same record to the data correctly placed?

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 chartÂ
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'm having an issue creating a report that can group & sum similar items together (I know in some ways, the requirement doesn't make sense, but it's what the client wants).
I have a table of items (i.e. products). Â In some cases, items can be components of another item (called "Kits"). Â In this scenario, we consider the kit itself, the "parent item" and the components within the kit are called "child items". Â In our Items table, we have a field called "Parent_Item_Id". Â Records for Child Items contain the Item Id of the parent. Â So a sample of my database would be the following:
Item's 2 & 3 are child items of "Kit A", Item 5 is a child item of "Kit B" and Item 6 is just a stand alone item.
So, in my report, the client wants to see the SUM of both the kit & its components in a single line, grouped by the parent item. Â So an example of the report would be the following:
Name | Available Qty -------------------------- Kit A | 15 Kit B | 25 Item 4 | 100
I have four parameters in my report: startDate, endDate, group, and name. My goal is to only present those groups and names with a record the falls in the startDate to endDate range. I have the group parameter set up with a dataset based on the following query:
Code Snippet
SELECT DISTINCT G.Group_Name, G.Group_Id FROM dbo.Group as G INNER JOIN dbo.Records as R On G.Group_Id = R.Group_Id WHERE (R.Rn_Create_Date BETWEEN @startDate and (@endDate+1) or R.Resolve_Date BETWEEN @startDate and (@endDate+1)) ORDER BY 1
I've created this type of query and parameter several times, however this time when I select any of the values in the parameter, the parameter always selects only the first item in the list. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
Hi!I'm a new T-SQL developer and just hit a roadblock.I have a scenario that goes like this: I have 2 stored procedures,spInner and spOuter. spInner has a SELECT statement which wouldnormally be used by a class using MS Enterprise Library and that outputgoes into a DataSet. However, I need to get the output of the SELECTstatement to go into spOuter and that's what I can't seem to figureout.I know I may be asked to use functions that return tables in replies tothis post, but I can't do that as some parts of my application have anEXEC(string) for dynamic SQL, instead of spInner.Any help appreciated.Cheers,N.I.T.I.N.
Hi, I have developed a report that uses oracle as the database. I have wrote my query by creating a dataset. In the query I am also calling a function. query: select EmpName, get_Client_Count(:cities), POS from ...
--function definition create or replace function get_Client_Count(cities in varchar2) return number is .... From the report I have multi selectable dropdown check box list for Cities.
the function returns count when I select only one city. Works fine with no problem. As soon as I select multiple cities I am getting the following error ORA-06553: PLS-306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'get_client_Count' I know this error was thrown since multiple values were selected.
Has anyone come across this situation and came up with workaround or solution to this? I really appreciate your inputs.
I have a simple Gridview control that has a delete command link on it.If I use the delete SQL code in line it works fine. If I use a stored procedure to perform the SQL work, I can't determine how to pass the identity value to the SP. Snippets are below...The grid<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True" AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2"> <Columns> <asp:BoundField DataField="member_id" HeaderText="member_id" InsertVisible="False" ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="member_id" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="member_username" HeaderText="member_username" SortExpression="member_username" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="member_firstname" HeaderText="member_firstname" SortExpression="member_firstname" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="member_lastname" HeaderText="member_lastname" SortExpression="member_lastname" /> <asp:BoundField DataField="member_state" HeaderText="State" SortExpression="member_state" /> <asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" /> <asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" /> </Columns> </asp:GridView> <asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:rentalConnectionString1 %>" SelectCommand="renMemberSelect" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure" DeleteCommand="renMemberDelete" DeleteCommandType="StoredProcedure" OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}" > <DeleteParameters> <asp:Parameter Name="member_id" Type="Int32" /> </DeleteParameters> </asp:SqlDataSource>the SPCREATE PROCEDURE renMemberDelete@member_id as intAs UPDATE [renMembers] SET member_status=1 WHERE [member_id] = @member_idGO
Which suggests that if only one of the two multivalue parameter id is selected display the same (Parameters!ServiceAttribute.Value(0)).
This works fine when i select both the attributes but throws an exception "Index was outside the bounds of the array" when i select only one of the parameters. Can anyone help me with that?
Also i want this report parameter to allow null i.e. if a user does not select anything he should still be able to view the report. In case of regular dropdowns i have added a <Null> value to the existing values and set the default to null. But in case of multi-value, it does not give an option of adding <Null>
hi, i am using ssrs 2005 and need to pass the multi selected parameter values to another report. how can i achieve this task? I use jump to report option.
I have a report which has a multi-value parameter. Problem is, it can contain up to 100 options.Is there a way to limit the number of options that is passed to the SQL statement?. EG list has 100 options, user selects 10 but only the first 4 selected options are passed to the SQL statement. Many Thanks Delli
For example, Training OR Production – should include everyone with an Training OR everyone with a Production checked OR everyone with both Training and Production checked. If service AND technical support – just those two options will show – the customer can only have those 2 options selected in their account and nothing else.
Is there an easy way to build the SQL query for this scenario? Any suggestions or tips?
I am struggling to come up with a set-based solution for this problem (i.e. that doesn't involve loops/cursors) ..A table contains items (identified by an ItemCode) and the set they belong to (identified by a SetId). Here is some sample data:
SetIdItemCode 1A 1B 24 28 26 310 312 410
[code]....
You can see that there are some sets that have the same members:
- 1 and 10 - 2 and 11 - 7, 8 & 9
What I want to do is identify the sets that have the same members, by giving them the same ID in another column called UniqueSetId.
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
I am forced to use a Sp in teh first place as my query is too long for the text dataset. I have a parameter Time_Period which ia a multivalued one but it is not allowing me to use this in the SP. using RS 2005.
I have a rs report with a parameter(named Site) that is defined as multi-value. What I am trying to do is call the report from an html form with the parameter populated with a comma seperated list of values. The html code is a minimally modified version of the code found in ch. 11 of the hitchhikers guide(code included below after the solid line). If I don't select any items, then execution is fine.
I am trying to create a SSRS subscription from an asp.net app. I collect the parameter values from the client and make the arrangements to send them to the CreateSubscription method. When the report has single value parameters, my code works perfectly. But if there is a report param with multiple values, I get the error
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Default value or value provided for the report parameter '<paramName>' is not a valid value
My parameter is string type and supports multiple values. I am passing the following string as its Value:
I've seen some theads on this but cant seem to get this right. Report A has 5 parameters 2 of them are multi value-- when I click on part of Report A I want to jump to report B and pass all parameter values from report A. The single value ones work but multi value only passes on value and not all values selected-- what am I missing here? Do I need to pass the values in the multi value parameters in an array??
I have a report that I'm trying to automate. Basically I want to create a cursor of containing authors, I want to run my report for that particular author, save the report, and move to the next author in the cursor. I want to continue this process until there's no more authors left in the table. Is this possible with reporting services 2005? If so how do I communicate the value from my cursor, to my report?
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...
I wrote a Stored Procedure spMultiValue which takes Multi Value String Parameter "Month". The stored procedure uses a function which returns a table. when I Execute the stored procedure from SQL Server 2005 with input "January,February,March" everything works fine. In the dataset , I set command type as Text and typed the following statement. EXEC spMultiValue " & Parameters!Month.Value &" its not returning anything. can anyone tell me how to pass multivalue parameter to stored procedure. Thanks for your help.
I have report A and Report B. In Report A I am using the Jump to Report functionality to go to Report B. I have a multi-valued parameter in botht the reports. So In Parmeters I am giving Parameters!xx.value to pass the value from Report A to Report B. The multi valued parameter has values 1,2,3,4 in both the reports.
I have a scenario where I need to pass a value of 5 to the report B. When I try to hard code the value I run into error while going to the second reeport saying parameter not declared.
I have a multi-valued parameter that I want to pass to a subreport. The values are 11, 12, 13, and 14.
So here's what I've done:
1. For the properties of the clickable field of the first report, I have gone to the Navigation tab and chosen the subreport in the "jump to report" pulldown.
2. Then I clicked on the Parameters button and added a parameter name for the multi-valued parameter I am trying to send. For the Parameter value, I have tried 11,12,13,14. I have also tried =Split(11,12,13,14)
3. On the subreport, I create a report parameter with the same name, data type is string, multi-value is checked, and the available values pulldown is populated by a query.
So I run the first report and click on the link that brings me to the subreport, but all the subreport shows is the results for 11, not 12, 13, and 14.
How can I get the second report to understand that I want it to show all the records related to 11, 12, 13, and 14? If I bypass the first report and simply use the drop-down to choose 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the subreport, it works fine. I just can't seem to figure out how to correctly have the first report tell the subreport that it wants 11, 12, 13, and 14.
