I'm working on a report having 2 date parameters(which uses calendar control) and a dropdownlist. But on selecting each of these parameters, the page refreshes. For eg On selecting a date from the calendar control results in a postback. The same is the case with the dropdownlist. Could you please help to resolve this issue? We need the postback to happen only on clicking the 'View Report' button.
Also, is there any way to customize the 'View Report' button. It always appears in the right hand side. Can we set the position of this button so that it appears just below the paging button?
I am working on a report (in 2005 version) having 6 date parameters ( which uses calendar control). When on selecting the date parameter(except the last data paramenter), the page refreshes. For eg On selecting a data from the calendar control results in a postback. but if I select the last data paramenter, the page is not refreshed.
I did another test on a report that only has 2 data paramters (use the calendar control), it is the same. you select the second the data parameter, no postback happened, but if you select the first data parameter, the postback happened.
Dose anybody know what is the issues? We need the postback to happen only on clicking the 'View Report' button.
i have a report that include a parameter of type date and it is visible to the user in order to choose the date and submit view report button to rendering the report.
i don€™t know if it is a bug in SSRS or not
but the problem is that if the user try to click on the date button of the parameter and choose a date
And then try to click again on the date button and choose a date another date .....after repeat the previous step more than one time the page is post back and reset the report and this not desirable by our client
Note:
Again the date button I am mention is the date button that auto generated by the SSRS as there is a parameter of type date
This Case happen only if the report run through a browser
Looks like a very simple problem but not geeting it.. I have parameter as ALL and it has corresponding value as <BLANK>,which comes by default. Allow Blank to true
How I can select this parameter as default value in parameter??
Please make sure that if I am taking '' then it is getting treated differently.I don;t want Value of ALL as '' or NULL
I have a SSRS report with a Parameter that lets you choose the name of an employee. The report lists their Name, Number, User ID etc.
When you select a single employee, the filter on the Dataset works perfectly. However once you select two or more employee names, it only returns the first result.Â
I have a report with a date type parameter. Depending on the value return by this date type parameter the dataset will return either the credit, deposit or process date. How do I go about coding it so that it will dynamically select the right column in my query for my dataset?
On my SSRS report, I use a date parameter to let the user select a date with the little calendar tool. When a date is selected, I have a small bit of coding run to convert the date to text, because when the report first fires up, the field is populated with "1/1/1900," and I need that turned into a blank character to let the report pull up all rows. So far, all well and good.If someone picks a date, then the report will filter the data on that selected date. Works fine.
But, it appears there is no way to get the calendar tool to go back to allowing ALL dates - so that all records are pulled - except by manually typing in, or selecting it with the tool, 1/1/1900.If I try to clear the field, causing it to use '' as a WHERE criteria (WHERE AdmitDate LIKE '%' + @AdmitDateTxt + '%'), it repopulates the field with the last selected date. So, I guess the question is, how does one tell the calendar tool for picking dates for a date parameter to reset back such that all records are pulled, not just those for a single date, without being required to type in, 1/1/1900? Or, is there some way of telling the date parameter to select all dates?
I am using SSRS 2008 R2 Report Builder 3.0 (10.50.4276.0) . I have simple set of data which has a persons Title and Name e.g. Mr Smith, Miss Jones, Doctor Foster
The report has a parameter where the user can select which records to show based on the matching titles (Mr, Miss, Doctor)
The Query for the report uses Title in (@Title) where @Title is the only parameter which can take multiple values. The report works correctly for any 1 value selected, but as soon as 2 or more values are ticked in the drop down, it fails.
I believe the parameter value is being passed into the query with a comma separating the values e.g. Mr,Miss which causes the IN statement to give an error, as the statement would be where Title IN ('Mr,Miss') which does not match any of the data values.
The parameter value passed needs to be 'Mr','Miss' for the IN statement to work. What statement do I have to put in the report query to get it to select any of the data rows where the title matches any 1 of the selected values?
I want that a textbox do a postback after I change the text : I change autompostback to true , It's do a postback after I press on the enter button , how can I do automatic postback after the text change without press on the enter button?
Hi. We have a problem. The sql insert don't work together with postback on the insert button. The following solution has been sugested:Partial Class Login Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Protected WithEvents loginButton As Button
Protected Sub loginButton_Click(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles loginButton.Click Response.Redirect("Tunnel1.aspx") End Sub
End Class But it doesn't work (the data is saved in the databse but the page isn't redirected to "Tunnel1.aspx"), why? Here is the code for the page:<%@ Page Language="VB" MasterPageFile="~/MasterPage.master" AutoEventWireup="false" CodeFile="Login.aspx.vb" Inherits="Login" title="Untitled Page" %>
If I alter the SqlDataSource select command in code and then bind to a gridview, I run into problems. When I do a sort, next page (basically any postback), the datasource goes back to the original state. It is like the SqlDataSource is not maintained in the state. I end up having to re-alter the SqlDataSource select command on every page_load. Is this by design or is this a bug? Is the SqlDataSource any "smarter" than doing it the old fashion way by populating a Dataset on (!IsPostBack) ? For example, if I have a bunch of data in a paged gridview, is the SqlDataSource smart enough not to bother filling the entire dataset if I don't need it for that page's display? I know the SqlDataSource provides for update/insert/delete, but I am not doing that in this application, it is just a query/report page. Thanks in advance
Hey, I hope someone can quickly tell me what I am obviously missing for this weird problem. To give a general picture, I have an ASP.net webpage that allows users to select values from several dropdown menus and click an add button which formats and concatenates the items together into a listbox. After the listbox has been populated the users have the option to save the items via a save button. The save button parses each item in the listbox to basically de-code the concantenated values and subsequently inserts them into a table residing on a backend MSSQL 2005 database. PROBLEM: In the process of testing the application, I noted this strange behavior. If I use the webpage to insert the values, go to the table where the values are stored and delete the rows; Upon a refresh of the web page the same actions seem to be getting replayed and the items are again inserted into the table. Naturally, what I'd really like would be for the page to refresh and show that the items aren't any longer there and not the other way around. If the code that performed the insert was residing in a component that was set for postback I'd expect this type of behavior but its in the Save buttons on_click event. I have tried practically everything in effort of targeting the problem but not having much luck with it. Is this behavior practical and expected in ASP.net or has anyone ever heard of anything similar? I have never encountered this type of problem before and was hoping someone could provide some clues for resolving it. If more information is required I'd be happy to supply it. Hopefully, there's a simple explanation that I am simply unaware since I haven't experienced anything like this before. Anybody got any ideas??? Thanks.
I think it has been discussed previously that having default parameter values based on expressions, e.g. a default parameter value of =Split("Bug",",") in multiple parameters will cause a postbacl whenever a user selects different values from the list.
Is this by design? Its a bit of an annoying thing. The refreshpostback doesnt happen if you have basic defaults like ="All" but only when an expression of some sort is used in more than 1 parameter. Does RS think they are linked or something, why does it need to psotback efresh?
I have a report which includes two fields of type date pFromDate and pEndDate. My pFromDate Available values is 'No-queried', and Default values is 'Null'. My pEndDate values is 'No-queried', and Default values is the expression '=DateValue(Today)'. After I upload my report to the report server and run it pEndDate is disabled until I choose value to pFromDate and a postBack occurs. I want pEndDate display the evaluated expression automatically when I run the report. How can I do it? Thanks in advance.
I have a simple gridview that loads on page load. It uses an on page sqldatasource declaration in which there's a parameter in which value is already available in cookies. I added an asp:HiddenField and set that value on PageLoad() to the value of the cookies. I then set a FormParameter in the sqldatasource mapped to that hidden field. However that appears to have no effect at all. I'm guessing the sqldatasource will only use the form field after postback.
Hi, I have created a search page which needs to perform different search function in same page. I have setuped a sqldatasource then manual setup the connection string and command inside the codefile. So the select command can be various depends on the event. The problem is all of those setting will be reset after I click on the pageindex in the girdview control to go to next pages. Since this gridview is linked
with this sqldatasource control, I need to restore the connection string/command when user choose decide to view next page of data inisde the gridview.
I think I must have done something wrong in here becuase it will end up retrieving the total amount of data when everytime user choose to view next or perivous page.
I've got a big problem that I'm trying to figure out: I have an address table out-of-which I am trying to select mailing addresses for companies UNLESS a mailing address doesn't exist; then I want to select the physical addresses for that company. If I get multiple mailing or physical addresses returned I only want the most recently edited out of those.
I don't need this for an individual ID select, I need it applied to every record from the table.
My address table has some columns that look like: [AddressID] [int] [LocationID] [int]
AddressID is a primary-key non-null column to the address table and the LocationID is a foreign key value from a seperate Companies table. So there will be multiple addresses to one LocationID, but each address will have it's own AddressID.
How can I do this efficiently with perfomance in mind???
I have set up a 'Parameters' table that solely stores all pre-assigned selection values for a webform. I customized a stored query to Select the values from the Parameters table. I set up the webform. The result is that the form1.apsx automatically populates each DropDownList task with the pre-assigned values from the 'Parameters' table (for example, the stored values in the 'Parameters' table 'Home', 'Business', and 'Other' populate the drop down list for 'Type'). The programming to move the selected data from form1.aspx to a new table in the SQL database perplexes me. If possible, I would like to use the form1.aspx to Postback (or Insert) the "selected" data to a *new* column in a *new* table (such as writing the data to the 'CustomerType' column in the 'Customers' table; I clearly do not want to write back to the 'Parameters' table). Any help to get over this hurdle would be deeply appreciated.
A colleague of mine has a view that returns approx 100000 rows in about 60 seconds.
He wants to use the data returned from that view in an OLE DB Source component.
When he selects the view from the drop-down list of available tables then SSIS seems to hang without any data being returned (he waited for about 15 mins).
He then changed the OLE DB Source component to use a SQL statement and the SQL statement was: SELECT * FROM <viewname>
In this instance all the data was returned in approx 60 seconds (as expected).
This makes no sense. One would think that selecting a view from the drop-down and doing a SELECT *... from that view would be exactly the same. Evidently that isn't the case.
Hello, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table' if (@Name <> '') begin set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + '''' end EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created: -the shared data source with the connection String - a data set : CommandType = Stored Procedure Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter... So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
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 need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1 available values: from query default values: non query (specify a value "<None>") Parameter 2 available values: Non query (no value specified) default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters). Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension . Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007". But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All". Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you  can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
Does anyone know if this is possible right out of the box in SSRS 2005 against an OLAP data source?
I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do I do this against an OLAP data source? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1. Same but a little different: I have Parameter1 and then my second parameter (Param2) is a boolean (True/False). I want to show Parameter 3/Paramater 4 based on selection of Param2 (So, if true, show Param3, if false, show Param 4) and remember we are doing this in a sequence. Can you do this thru SSRS? Any help would be great. Thanks for your time in advance. Kent
Is it possible to fill a parameter list with values based on another parameter value? Here's what I have so far (which hasn't worked)... I'd like to generate a report listing information for a student. The report viewer would first select a school from the first drop-down menu, and then the second drop-down menu would populate with the list of students at that school. I have a dataset that calls a sp which returns a list of schools (SchoolID and SchoolName fields from the database table). I have another dataset that calls a sp (with SchoolID as the parameter) which returns a list of students for that school. Both datasets return the appropriate data when tested individually, but when I set up the Report Parameters and build the report, these errors come up... The value expression for the query parameter '@SchoolID' refers to a non-existing report parameter 'SchoolID'. The report parameter 'Student' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "SchoolID". Forward dependencies are not valid. ...Is it possible for the reoprt to generate a list of available parameter values based on the value selected for another parameter? Any help you can give me would be great!! Thank you
I am using reporting services 2012, Can we make visibility of report parameter dynamic, ie can we make parameter visible or hide on certain condition or its visibility depends on other parameters Is this feature  available in any other updated version of ssrs?Â
I had thought that this was possible but I can't seem to figure out the syntax. Essentially I have a report where one of the parameters is populated by a stored procedure.
Right now this is easily accomplished by using "exec <storedprocname>" as the query string for the report parameter. However I am not clear if it is possible to now incorporate User!UserID as parameter to the stored procedure. Is it? Thanks
I would like to be able to adjust the multi-value property of a parameter based on the value of another parameter in my report. The controlling paramter would be binary with two options for Single or Multiple selection. I would like my parameter to default to multi-value, which I can do on the screen selection. I have tried to add an IIF statement to the XML code, with no success. Any ideas would be helpful.
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
