Reporting Services :: Parameter Contains & Character
Feb 16, 2015
I am passing parameter through URL for SSRS report viewer. My parameter value contains '&' character like "P&B Ltd". It is showing below error :
The path of the item '..//' is not valid. The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
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 .
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.
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 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.
Using SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0..I have an action set in a text box of a table. My intent is to pass the value of that text box (which is variable) to a sub-report in a popup window. Here's my code: URL....The parameter of the report I'm trying to open is @SONum.I'm guessing my error is involved in the formatting of how the value of the parameter is being passed. I've also seen examples where the report server and report values were parameterized, but I don't know where to define
Parameters!ServerAddress.Value anywhere.Do I need to have something set up a certain way within the report I'm opening? Here's the report Parameter settings on the report I'm trying to open.
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
I have a stacked bar chart which i notice a vertical line char. how can i removed this vertical line? I already modified the properties under smart labels under calloutlineanchor, calloutlinestyle, calloutstyle to None but still getting this vertical lines. another things is the data label as you can see in the the first column the 1.8% should be place under the gray color but its already shown before the orange color.
I'm facing to set report parameter  report parameter need to be date time so that calendar will be displayed but data set field is integer data type?Now report shows error message.
I have an issue where I need to set a whole bunch of internal parameters' values to the result of a dataset first executed with the report...nothing new or majestic about it.  The problem is that the 'First dataset', under some parameter values, return no records..it is empty (which is fine). But this meas that these internal parameters error my report as the 'NEED' a value even though I have specified a default, I still get the 'Paremeter X is missing a value' error. I just want the other datasets, which are reliant on these erroring parameters to either execute with parameter values of 0 or not execute at all. Thus I want the sub datasets to return with blank data in this case or not execute at all.  How can I achieve this?
I am trying to run the report by passing the parameters using url.
[URL]
I get the error when I add the "Year" parameter in the above url, after adding this I get error "The full path must be less than 260 characters long; other restrictions apply. If the report server is in native mode, the path must start with slash. (rsInvalidItemPath)
Is it possible to save a report parameter somewhere in the report to use it for subsequent refresh or report runs of the same report?
I have a value that is dynamically calculated. The report is called from Microsoft Dynamics CRM. When calling the report from CRM first time the report shows the correct data. But when I want to show detail data by clicking on a bar in a bar chart the report lost its CRM context and shows the wrong data in the whole report (from completely different account).
On strategy against this could be to save the parameter (id of the account from who I select the data) in a "parameter" for later use.
Is this and how is this possible, or is there any other way to accomplish this.
I am trying to build a Reporting Services report that reads data from SSIS package based on a parameter specified. In the RS report I created a parameter and added it to the dataset (no changes in data source though, only -f <path to dtsx file). In the SSIS package I created a user variable scoped to Package, in the default User userspace. No mapping has been done as I don't know where (and if) should I set it up. The problem is I get an error message when trying to view the report in RS saying "A requested parameter does not exists in the package".
Any help and/or ideas are appreciated, I couldn't find anything on "the internets"
1, 2 and 3 parameter are text inputs. 4th is multi-value parameter and 5th is again a text input. I need to Pass a blank parameter to my 5th parameter.
1) I tried the below Expression in the "UploadedEnt" DataSet Properties and not in the "Main" DataSet.
I have taken the actual sql query (file) and I have just placed the select statement.
DataSet Name: UploadedEntselect distinct UploadEnt from ( SELECT DISTINCT col1, col2... ....) Ent
Order by 1OR logic has been applied in the Tablix Properties Filters as an expression.=Fields!value1.Value like Parameters!value1Param.Value Or Fields!value2.Value like Parameters!value2Param.Value Or Fields!value3.Value like Parameters!value3Param.Value Or Fields!value4.Value = Parameters!value4Param.Value(0) Or Fields!UploadEnt.Value = Parameters!UploadedEntParam.ValueFilter: Expression = TRUE2) I tried applying NULL check box which works perfectly but I do not want to apply that here.How to Pass a Blank Parameter?
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW WHERE LOCATION = @Location AND SOURCE = @Source AND (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate) ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
So the user can enter a value for Location and Source and select the date range.BUT I also want the user to be able to put in nothing for the Location and Source so the query would return everything for that date range.
So if they did this the query would be
SELECT SOURCE, TRANSDATE, LOCATION, DESCRIPTION, MOACTIVETIMESTAMP, MOINACTIVETIMESTAMP FROM CTS_Missing_Data_Report_VW WHERE (TRANSDATE BETWEEN @StartDate AND @EndDate) ORDER BY Transdate desc, Location
I have set the parameters @Location and @Source to "Allow blank value" in the datasets for the location and source I have :
SELECT NULL AS Source UNION SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(LTRIM(SOURCE))AS Source FROM CTS_OPS_SOURCE_LOCATION_TBL_VW ORDER BY SOURCE
So a blank will show on the drop down and when I run the query for the Query Designer in the Dataset Properties the results does show a blank record for the first record.BUT when I Run the report there are no blanks in the drop downs for the location or source. And there is no '<blank>' selection in the drop down either. And the drop down insist the user selects a value from both of the drop downs.
 Lob parameter is in the same dataset , But Year parameter is from different Dataset(Year_Param_DS).But If I am passing second parameter (Year) like Sum(Fields!Year_list.Value, "Year_Param_DS") i am not able to open the popup.
If i am removing the sum word Main report is giving an error that "Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope."e syntax (I am working using MDX query) to pass two parameter through url, one from same dataset and 2nd is from another dataset.Or it is not possible to pass the value field from other Dataset in URL (Go to URL option).
Currently i am setting up a report. The data source comes from pre-defined custom datasets where i've pre-entered the parameters for both Month and Year.
I already have one table up and working, but now i need a new table below it with a % column for each month so it gives visibility for the trend in recent months. As the interactive parameters are already in place; when i try to create the table it comes through with the specific month that the parameters are set too, and change when the parameters are altered.Is there a way to ignore the parameters for this table; or get around it?
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. Â 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.Â
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.Â
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.Â
Is there a way to to only have distinct values populate the parameter even if the parents have the same child?
@partno is defined a multivalue parameter.when I enter a single part number or leave it empty data is properly returned.when I enter multiple part numbers data is not returned. I have tried: 604-02394, 604-03492 in the parameter prompt.I have tried entering those parts on separate lines in the parameter prompt:
604-02394 604-03492
my sql query : and (fpartno in (@Partno) or '' in (@Partno))...I only want to see those two parts in the report.
I have a Report that I want to access that has a parameter input for the date, Production_Date. I want to allow the user to use the DateTimePicker to select the date to use for Production_Date. I can't seem to find the correct way to format what I'm tring to do. My production date field is in a format without punctuation so that it becomes:
which gives me a value that I want to send as a parameter for the Reporting Services report that I have located on a tab in my project. The report is:
Me.ReportViewer1
I want to send the ProductionDate to the report where the report looks for Production_Date. Obviously, I 'm very new to this. I'd appreciate any suggestions. As it runs now, the default date is loaded (today's date) from the expression I calculated in Reporting services:
=(Now.Month*1000000)+(Now.Day*10000)+Now.Year
This is a big roadblock right now and I can't seem to put together a legal means to pass this value. Thanks for any help.
@StartDate is a report parameter and CustomerNo is the field I want to render on the report,I want to combine the sql ,but it display the error message below when I preview the report.If I query in the design form and input the value of the parameter ,it run correctly . --------------------------------------------- Data sql: declare @sql nvarchar(4000) declare @sqlWhere nvarchar(4000) set @sql='select CustomerNo from table1 ' set @sqlWhere=''

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.
I'm seeing a failure to refresh dependent parameters in a report I've got running in WSS 3.0. The same report functions fine deployed to Reporting Services site and it refreshes all parameters when I change dependencies. But in Sharepoint document library it seems to post and redraw page but the dependent parameters do not update.
I must hit the apply button which will refresh the dependent parameters. I can then select the updated multi-select lists and run the report fine.
I do not think this is the desired behavior.
I'm running WSS 3.0 with SQL 2005 sp2 CTP and Sharepoint Add-in CTP which I found here: Add-in
Is anyone experiencing problem with parameter driven reports? Seems to be related to parameter depth/dependency.
I've run into something that really isn't a problem - I corrected the issue with a CTE solution - but, it did raise a question.
I was developing a report and, when I previewed it, I got an error that a parameter was dependent upon the value of another parameter - no forward dependencies allowed.
But, another parameter that used the exact same SQL code - just different fields - works fine.
So, here's the list of parameters;
CurDate is derived by; DECLARE @CurDate AS date SET @CurDate = ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) FROM Census_Rpt_Final )
The parameter that gives me the problem is PCPName. It is a list of names derived by the following;
SELECT DISTINCT UPPER(PCP_Name) AS [PCP Name] FROM Census_Rpt_Final WHERE Load_Date = @CurDate ORDER BY [PCP Name];
So, OK, fine, I can understand the error. But, MemberName is derived by;
SELECT DISTINCT RTRIM(UPPER(Member_LName)) + ', ' + RTRIM(UPPER(Member_Fname)) AS [Member Name] FROM Census_Rpt_Final WHERE Load_Date = @CurDate ORDER BY [Member Name];
And, it works fine. No Foward Dependency problem at all.
So, my question becomes one of precedence. I see, in the list of parameters, that PCPName precedes CurDate which precedes MemberName. Is the problem because, when it hits PCPName, CurDate has yet to be defined, but when it hits MemberName, CurDate has been defined?
Is SSRS one-pass compiler or multi-pass? My guess is that it's a one-pass, because of the error I'm getting. As I said, I've corrected the problem using;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate]
[Code] ....
Removing the parameter reference from the code, but it made me curious as to why one worked and the other didn't.
I am getting this error when upgraded to SQL Server 2012. Earlier the same report(.rdl) just working fine on SQL Server 2008 R2.
Message = System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> Microsoft.ReportingServices. Diagnostics. Utilities.InvalidParameterException: The value of parameter 'param' is not valid. ---> System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The Uri string is too long.
Is there anything changed in SQL Server 2012 regarding this.
Is it possible to pass a report parameter that is defined as a string to the following SQL statement that is using an "IN" clause ?
WHERE (ANALYST.User_Bemsid IN (@Report_Parameter_Bemsid))
If I pass a single value (I.E. A) it works okay, but once I try to pass multiple values (I.E. A,B or 'A','B') it returns no data.
Using Crystal reports I can pass multiple values via a report prompt into the SQL "IN" clause and seems that SQL Reporting Services should also have this feature. What do I need to do to get it working ?
I have a problem with Date/Time parameters. When I try to preview reports locally, I get the following error message for dates past the 12th of a month:Â
An error occured during local report processing. The value provided for the report parameter 'Date' is not valid for its type.
My report is set to de-CH. If I enter a date into the datepicker in Swiss/German format (dd.mm.yyyy) Visual Studio changes them to mm/dd/yyyy but somehow tests them against dd.mm.yyyy and throws an error.
Windows language is German, SQL Server and Visual Studio are in English.
I installed the German language pack for Visual Studio and switched over to German to no avail. Changing the report language to en-US did not work either.
I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing". Â
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo  ... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.
I have a report where a user selects a AD Global Group. Then I have another parameter that populates with the members of that group. My problem is the userlist parameter isn't populating. If I hard code a Global group name it works, but it isn't getting the Global Group parameter when I use @GlobalGroup.
SELECT sAMAccountName, displayName, distinguishedName FROM 'LDAP://DC=xxx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx' WHERE objectCategory = 'Person' AND objectClass = 'user' AND memberOf = 'CN=@GlobalGroup,OU=Groups,OU=SCSM,OU=Applications,DC=xxxx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=xx,DC=us'
