I have created two report parameters and want them as Cascading. District Parameter depends on Region Parameter which should allow Multi selection. When I select single value in Region it works perfectly. But when I choose multiple values, District turns out to be a blank text box. I have used the In clause in my code :
SELECT
DISTINCT
SalesDistrict
FROMDistrict(NOLOCK)
WHERESalesRegion
IN(@SalesRegion)
So this is my first time posting on MSDN but I am running into an issue I don't know how to circumvent. This issue isn't causing my report not to run but it makes it very confusing for end users. I am building a report for a user and he was cascading parameters. The parameters are Department (the Parent), Site (the Child) and Vehicle Class (the grandchild).
Here is my issue: If I select 2 Departments named Dept1 and Dept2, the Site parameter populates. If Dept1 and Dept2 have sites named the same, example fleet, Fleet shows up in the site parameter twice.
Then the Vehicle Class parameter populates. Now if at those sites they have the same vehicle class, lets say 1/2 ton pickup, 1/2 ton pickup is in the vehicle class parameter twice.
All three of these parameters are populated by a query and all of the queries are using SELECT DISTINCT. I know I could manually input values for the parameters but there are to many departments and sites and they all vary to much depending on the department.
Is there a way to to only have distinct values populate the parameter even if the parents have the same child?
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= @Prm_A ), but it still would not cascade on the web.
Hello,
I'm using a SSIS cube as source for reporting services. In my DataSet I have 3 parameters: Year, ProductGroup, Product. By default all parameters are cascading when defined on the DataSet. This is great for ProductGroup -> Product, but I don't want it for Year -> ProductGroup (I want to avoid the roundtrip). I removed the link in the generated MDX, I removed the parameters on the DataSet, but when I run the report, ProductGroup is still grayed out until I choose a year.
Suggestions are very welcome...
I have a Reporting Services 2005 report which uses cascading parameter multi-select drop-down boxes. The report runs perfect after making initial selections. However, each subsequent parameter selection causes the page to refresh to a blank page until the View Report button is clicked. What I would like to happen (which should be the norm) is for the user to be able to make all necessary selections without the page auto-refreshing after each selection. The user would then click the View Report button to regenerate the report. We are currently using reports which contain up to 5 cascading parameters. This becomes very time-consuming when the page refreshes after each selection.
Has anyone come across a solution or code alternative to this problem??
Any help would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

After adding cascading parameters my report which was running earlier is failing. I'm using Report builder 3.0, windows 2008r2, am running the report from the server
Error message "An error has occurred during report processing.(rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'LastName' (rsErrorExecutinGcOMMAND)
Incorrect Syntax near ','."
Is there a way where i can look up the code in xml using report builder or some other way so that i can delete the extra '','.
I have two reports.
1. Main Report
2. Sub Report.
I have cascading parameters in 'Main Report'. When i try to pass cascading parameters in to sub-report, I could pass only 'first parameter' value to sub-report.Is there a way that i can pass cascading parameters to the child report?
I am creating a report where there are 3 tables in one report which have visibility set as an expression so that when a certain criteria is selected in the "Report" parameter, a different table is shown below. This works as expected.
When table 3 is shown, I want a new parameter to be visible to the user called "Ward" where the user will select the ward they are interested in and the table will display data below just for the ward selected. However, I don't want the ward parameter visible when either of the other 2 options are selected. Is this possible and how to do this?
Hello,
since some hours I'm struggling with 2 multi-value cascading parameters which default values should be always "Select ALL"
First Parameter:
available vlaues: From query
dataSetsGetCountry (defined as select from tblCountries)
ValueFied:ContryName
LabelField:CountryName
DefaultValues: from Query
dataSetsGetCountry
ValueFied:ContryName
SecondParameter:
available vlaues: From query
dataSetsGetAreas (stored procedure which parameter is the list of the selected countries)
ValueFied:AreaName
LabelField:AreaName
DefaultValues: from Query
dataSetsGetAreas
ValueFied:AreaName
First time I open the report
the first and the second parameters are properly filled and for both parameters "select all" is checked.
I select one option from the first parameter, the second parameter's content change dinamically and "Select All" option is still selected !Cool
Now I change the selection on the first Parameter, by checking AN ANOTHER item from the list , the second parameter list refresh dinamically but "Select all" IS NOT selected and only the item that were previously checked kept the selection !!!NO!!
Is this a bug in Reporting services and I have to say to ther user that is not possible to develop what they would like to have or there is , even programmatically, a way to solve it?
Thankx for any helps!

I have what seems to be a common problem where I have names like "Last, First" that I need to be able to select using a multi-value parameter, which of course, SSRS passes as comma-delimited and gets messed up. I need to find a way to use a different delimiter or pass CHAR(44) instead of the comma, or something. Even worse, some people have suffixes and multiple commas in one name!
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a multivalue parameter that has X options. Is it possible to implement a solution that when I go into the report through an action, to have one option (in this case is the first) not selected all all the others are checked?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI'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)
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.
I have researched this question and so far have found very different opinions as to how or if it is possible.I have created 2 Data-driven subscriptions in SSRS. 1 for our sales persons and another for our managers reports. For the salespersons report, the solution works brilliantly as expected and I can appreciated the increased simplicitly for having 1 subscription to drive reports to a sales staff of over 100 folks.One the other hand, I can't seem to grasp the significance of this type of solution for the Sales managers when they have multiple salespersons that report to them.
Apparently, SSRS 2008 has provided no practical solution for this scenario that would be easily implemented in a Data driven subscription.Since I can't find a way to pass in muliple integer values that represent each of the salesreps for a single manager, I am stuck with potentially sending multiple reports for each of the Sales Reps residing under a single manager. Not very elegant or useful as I'd hoped for using Data driven subscriptions. I have even changed the parameter datatype to string and used something like:
paramSalesPeople = substring((SELECT ( ', ' + CAST(territoryid AS VARCHAR(2000)))
FROM Reports..SalesForce t2
WHERE t1.SalesManagerID = t2.SalesManagerID
ORDER BY SalesManagerID
FOR XML PATH( '' )), 3, 1000 )
To create a comma-delimited list of values for the parameters in effort of generating 1 (ONE) record per Manager. But the Data Driven Subscription fails miserably.So the question, Is it or is it not possible to have multiple values passed as a single parameter to a data driven subscription to consolidate the number of required reports into one. If not, it would seem that it should be possible since it can be done from the reports parameters drop-down menu.I have read someones recommendation to script the multi-valued parameter which seems to defeat the intent of the term "Data Driven' Subscription if I have to hard-code this logic into a script.
Hello,
I was trying to do cascading parameters based off my cube and I wasn't able to do this. Is it possible?
For example, I have a dimension that has Products so I first select the parameter for product type (Dairy, Frozen, Candy) and then I have another dropdown listbox that has the name of each product (Milk, Ice Cream, Lemon Drops). The second dropdown listbox should only contain the products that match what parameter was selected in the first dropdown.
When I couldn't get that to work, I went to the source system containing the Dimension tables and just did nice and easy SQL statements from there. It worked but I, for some reason that I can't explain, think this is not the proper way to do it.
Also, is there a way to have a default on the second parameter based on the first parameter selected? I would assume that default would be [All].
Thank you.

I am currently working with 3 multi-valued parameters whose data sources are queries. The first 2 are required to have entries, 100% of the time, but the third one may or may not require selecting a value. Parm3's data source is filtered by the selections of Parm1 & Parm2. The data source for my report references Parm3 in a derived table that is then LEFT OUTER JOINed.
In the cases where the report does not require any selection from Parm3 I am still required to pick at least 1 entry. Can anyone shed some light on this, or provide a solution so I am not forced to pick any if I don't want?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
I have two parameters, lets say P1 and P2. P2 is cascaded with P1. P1 -> P2.
For the parameter P2, the following proterty set are
1. Multi Select
2. The default value is all the available value selected (Same dataset is assigned to both "Available Values" and "Default Values")
The data relation be,
P1 P2
A a
A b
A c
A d
B a
Now the issue is,
Step 1 : When i choose A in P1 first time, a,b,c and d in P2 are selected
Step 2 : When i change B in P1, a is selected
Step 3 : When i change back to A in P1, only a is selected in P2 (a,b,c and d should be selected)
I was trying to have multivalue options in a ssrs report, and I used this query
SELECT {[Measures].[Sales Amount],[Measures].[Tax Amount]} on columns,non empty([Product].[Color].[Color],[Product].[Product Name].[Product Name]) on rows
from
( select
(STRTOSET(@color))
on columns
from [Analysis Services Tutorial])
But the report only showed the default value as an option(in this format [Product].[Color].&[Multi] whic is not presentable),and what I also noticed in the parameter option is that, the available values option is set to none , also when I try to use get from query , it does not give me the vales for the parameters,and when I right click the designer pane it does not have the show hidden dataset option.I have created the parameter with multivalue option. what can I do to get the multivalue option to work.
I have an SSRS 2005 report that I want to enable for multi value. However, I always run into the issue with the way it passes multiple values. How exactly do I get a multi-value parameter setup and working on both the report AND SQL side?I used the MS example of checking the multi checkbox for the parameter and then using a WHERE Column IN (@MultiParam), but this doesn't work. When you select one item, or is it multiple I can't remember, it fails.

Hi All,
I'm trying to create reports in RS2005 using AS2000 as my data source. I understand that if I use RS2005 on AS2000, I wont be able to enjoy the OLAP based parameters as in using AS2005. Does anyone know an easy way to easily use Parameters in RS2005 while still using AS2000?

My requirement for the parameter is multivalue parameter with a text box. for example when user enters aa15 it need to include product aa15. when the user enters aa15, aa16, zz15 than it needs to include all the three products. the last case is when the user enters AA** than i need to inclued all the products start with AA. when i use default multivalue parameter with data source analytical services than i am getting a drop down box. I dont want that. I need a text box where user can enter the value.
1. In sql we have a like key word to query . for example select * from product where product like "AA%".
what is equavalent mdx query to get such results ?
2.How to impliment the multivalue parameters without using dropdown box?
I want to use a Multi-Value Parameter in a COALESCE statement; e.g.:
SELECT COALESCE (@Selected,NULLIF((COALESCE(A,B,C,D,E,F,0) ^ 1)* COALESCE(H,I,J,0),0)) AS FOO
where @Selected is a list of column names.
I have a Multivalue parameter with 4 available values and have 4 columns in the report that correspond to each of these values.I apply column visibility to each of the 4 columns with the following expression (the number changes for each column
=IIF(InStr("," & Join(Parameters!KPINAME.Value,",")& ",",",1,")>0),False,True)
What I want to do is that if I select a KPI and the Column value is NULL then to hide the row.Obviously if you select multiple KPIs and only 1 of the columns has null value then I wouldn't want the Row hidden.
I'm building a report and I want to have a parameter that has multiple integer values (not text).I can get it to work just fine if I create a value for each and every numeric value, but I want the user to only see two choices in the dropdown menu (plus the "Select All" that gets automatically created when I tick the box for "Allow multiple values"). How can I make this work?
For example, for my TYPE parameter I'd like something like this:
Label: Tigers
Value: 2
Label: Lions Bears Oh My
Value: 1,3,4,5,6
But I can't seem to set a multiple Value for an integer. And I can't seem to wrap the value with quotes and use Text as the Data Type because it says an error occured during processing (I assume because the field I'm going against is of the Integer format).My query would look something like this (the real one is a lot more complex):
SELECT
v_R_System.Netbios_Name0
,v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0
FROM
v_R_System
INNER JOIN v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT
ON v_R_System.ResourceID = v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.ResourceID
WHERE
v_GS_COMPUTER_SYSTEM_EXT.PCSystemType0 IN (@TYPE)
I've tried different Expressions, filters, options, syntax, and what-not, but I think I'm missing something basic.
Hi All,
I've got the following situation.
I've got a report that has 3 multiselect parameter selection dropdowns in my report.
Dropdown 3 is depending on the selected values of dropdown 2.
Dropdown 2 is depending on the selected values of dropdown 1.
For example:
In dropdown 1 the values A1 and A2 are available
when I select a value A 1 in dropdown 1 values A1_B1 and A1_B2 are available in dropdown 2
when I select A1 and A2 in dropdown1 values A1_B1, A1_B2, A2_B1 and A2_B2 are available in dropdown 2
when i select A1_B1 in dropdown 2 values A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2 are available in dropdown 3
when i select A1_B1 AND A1_B2 IN dropdown2 values A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2, A1_B2_C1,A1_B2_C2 are available in dropdown 3
dropdown 1 | dropdown 2 | dropdown 3
A1 | A1_B1 | A1_B1_C1
| | A1_B1_C2
| A1_B2 | A1_B2_C1
| | A1_B2_C2
in the "picture" above I describe the selection i make in the report
so
in dropdown 1 I select A1
in dropdown 2 I select A1_B1,A1_B2
in dropdown 3 I select A1_B1_C1,A1_B1_C2,A1_B2_C1, A1_B2_C2
then the strang happens.
When I look in profiler to see what happens, is that for dropdown 2 the second value for the parameter of dropdown 2 is
and for dropdown 3 all except the first one is missing.
The values from the dropdownboxes are passed through to a subreport. When the selected values from dropdown boxes are passed though directly to the datasets this problem doesn't occur.
Is this normal behaviour? Or do I miss something.
Thanks for your help,
Eric

Hi there,
I have a problem with multi-value parameter in ReportingServices2005, hope to find a solution here.
if I use ordinary parameter in a report(multi-value checkbox is not selected), after deployment I can click on drop down list and type possible value of that parameter using keyboard(it will be selected from what i typed).
if I use multi-value parameter somewhy it doesn't respond to anything i type from my keyboard.
Why is that?
What should i do to make that multi-value parameter select possible result from what i type?
Hi,
I'm using SSRS 2005 which connects to SQL Server 2005. I need to pass Multi valus for single parameter...
E.g. Command type : Text
SELECT * FROM COUNTRY where CountryId IN ( @CountryID)
If i tried to preview using single parameter, it shows the record without any problem. However when i tried to put multi values, it gives error message?? I read somewhere which says, need to set to multivalue. But, i could not find the place to set the multi value option...
How to solve it?? Your suggestion/recommendations greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Hi All
I am using RS 2000. I used 2 input parameters for one of the report. The 2nd parameter is based on the 1st parameter. i.e. First Parameter is Country and 2nd Parameter is State. Based on the Country selection the list of states for the selected country will get displayed. This is working fine in Reporting services as well as report server. When deploying into the application it doesn't work.
If you have solution for this I would like to share.

Hi
I am doing report development against cube (OLAP) and I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do we achieve this in a cube environment? 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. Hope this helps. If you have questions, please let me know.
hi all,
In my report I want to make certain parameters to depend on the previous parameters. I think we can use those as cascading parameters. How to make a parameter a cascading parameter? and how to use those cascading parameter ? It would be nice of you if you can help me.
Thanking you,
Lekshmi
