Reporting Services :: SSRS Parameters Default Or Null Value
May 12, 2015
I'm trying to have a default or null value in the dropdown list of the parameters on SSRS report. The dataset is bound with the Dynamics-AX 2009 AOT query. In the screen shot below you can see that I need a show All option in the dropdown list.
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)
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 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".
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.
HI, I am trying to set the following default parameter : datepart("m",now()). The parameter is an integer
If I do this through visual studio 2005 it works just fine. However I need to change this for a linked report and when I do the same thing in the viewer (using the "Overide Default" key) I get the following error "The parameter Month contains a value that is not valid. This parameter takes an integer as a value" Can anyone suggest a way to get arround this ?
Is there any way to default to the first day of the month in a SSRS expression. I'm looking to do the reverse of the EOMONTH() function.The date value is coming from a parameter @BegDate and formatted YYYY-MM-DD. So if the parameter is set to 2015-08-31 it would show 2015-08-01
I installed SSRS 2014 Reporting Services on a 2008R2 Enterprise server. When I try to subscribe to a report (also SQL 2014), the default rendering is MHTML. I want to change this default to EXCEL.
I updated the rsreportserver.config file and restarted SQL Server Reporting Service. Now, the default rendering for a subscription is 'XML file with report data' which is the first <Render> data element. If I change
<DefaultRenderingExtension>EXCEL</DefaultRenderingExtension> back to <DefaultRenderingExtension>MHTML</DefaultRenderingExtension>
And restart SSRS Service, the default subscription rendering is MHTML.
<DeliveryUI> <Extension Name="Report Server Email" Type="Microsoft.ReportingServices.EmailDeliveryProvider.EmailDeliveryProviderControl,ReportingServicesEmailDeliveryProvider"> <DefaultDeliveryExtension>True</DefaultDeliveryExtension> <Configuration>
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 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.
I am trying to open a pop up window in SSRS without any parameters (just need it to go to this report) and when I click on the link from the main report nothing happens. I have done countless numbers of these with passing parameters, just never without. Am I missing something painfully obvious?
Most of our reports need to be rendered directly to PDF. And since we have multi paged reports, we have implemented document map to have navigation. while exporting to the PDF, Users want the Bookmarks to be visible by default. However, this is not the case. The bookmarks tab in the Navigation tools of Acrobat is not expanded rather we need to manually click on it to see the bookmarks. This behavior is different from Crystal Reports XIr2 where the bookmarks are defaulted to be visible when opening a PDF exported by crystal.Is there any way to replicate this behavior in SSRS too?
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!
I need to run a different select statement based on the value of a parameter. Visual studio is not liking how I am formatting it.
SELECT mc.CtrlID, mc.PrtfID, mc.PrtfTyp, mc.City, mc.STATE, mc.U_O_AND_M, mc.CHBBal, mc.IRG_Number, mc.PrtfName, mc.LnID, mc.UPB, mc.UPB_Master_Loan, aa.Prtf_FNMA_FHLMC_Other , aa.ReportingSummar FROM vw_XXX_GIAC mc INNER JOIN vw_XXX_InvestorMatrix aa on mc.CtrlID = aa.CtrlID WHERE case when @PortfolioID=1 THEN aa.Prtf_FNMA_FHLMC_Other ='FNMA' @PortfolioID=2 THEN aa.Prtf_FNMA_FHLMC_Other ='FHLMC' @PortfolioID=3 THEN aa.Reporting Summar ='FLOW' END
I have an issue with clearing the check-box of SSRS multiple value parameter with all employee names. Find my client mail.
"Employee name selection is not user friendly. Whenever I want to change the name, I need to scroll to uncheck the previous entry and then check the new one."
I have a multi value parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
I have a parameter that chooses its available items from a query (with a label and a value column). I set the default for the parameter to the a particular value.
It works in Preview from design mode, but when I deploy it and run the report, it does not set the default.
I have a third party app that passes parameters (main dataset query) from the app to SSRS. Unfortunately, when the parameters are passed from the app they will contain equal signs ("=") in front of each parameter. For example, the parameters that may be passed to the main dataset query should be:
"HYDRO, OKO, ONEPL, TECHNI"
However, the parameters that are passed from the app, get to SSRS as:
"=HYDRO, =OKO, =ONEPL, =TECHNI"
Again, this is for the main dataset query and there may be one parameter or there may be any number of them.
Basically, I need to strip the "=" signs from the parameters. whether there is one parameter or ten.
I believe that I will need a custom function to strip the equal signs?
I have an SSRS report with parameters for Created On Start and Created On End. Users run this manually and choose the date range to display records for.
I would like to set up two different subscriptions
1) to send weekly on Monday morning for "last weeks" records and 2) to send monthly to send "last month's" records.
I am building a webapp that calls an SSRS instance to display a report based on another servers web service.I can make a call from the ssrs server using this in the RDL:
This works no problem. but.. I want to have the user parameter "Craig" be a parameter passed in from the web app. If it were a regular SQL data source you would put @user in the query. How do you do it with XML text queries?
I am creating simple report in ssrs and pass one parameter only. It will work perfectly (here user enter the parameter value). but i need that i should select the value in drop down box. i had tried many time and did different ways but I am unable to do it.
First i gave the parameter in my sql query in Data set (like WHERE COUNTRY = @COUNTRY) and i checked the Parameters tab in the data set. Here by default comes the Parameter Name: COUNTRY and Parameter value: [@COUNTRY].
Next i select COUNTRY Parameter in the Report Data Pane. and go to properties Here in General Tab: Name COUNTRY Prompt: COUNTRY, Select Get values from query in available values Tab (and also i tried with Select Get values from query in Default Value Tab) and Select Data set: Data Set1, Value field: COUNTRY and Label Field COUNTRY. And Click Ok
And tried to preview the report, it throwing below error
"An error Occured during local report processing. The definition of the report is invalid. The Report Parameter 'COUNTRY' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "COUNTRY". Forward dependencies are not valid.
How can I achieve dropdown list.What i missed? Even i unable to do it Multi valued parameters and Cascading parameters.
Actually i am working on SQL Express 2012 version.
I am trying to get a null value to pass to a multi-select parameter in SSRS 2005. The multi-select box is getting its possible values from the following query:
SELECT NULL CMP_ID, '<all companies>' COMPANY UNION SELECT DISTINCT T1.CMP_ID, T1.COMPANY FROM VIEWCOMPANYLIST T1 WHERE T1.DIV_ID = 2 ORDER BY 1
This query is pre-pending a row with NULL as the first ID. The resulting data set is exactly what you would expect - Row 1 has a null in column CMP_ID, and <all companies> in column COMPANY. All the rest of the rows have proper data. My multi-select parameter box is of type Multi-value Int, with possible values populated by this query and a default of NULL. However, when I preview the report, the <all companies> row disappears.
It's not even in the list, and it's not getting selected by the default selector. So, of course, when I try to View Report without selecting anything, I get prompted to select a company. Why the prepended row in my dataset is getting dropped from the multi-select box at display time? And yes, I have to be able to pass a null value because the stored procedure on which the report is based expects this parameter to be optional.
I have a detailed report in ssrs in which data can come from start date and end date parameters.but the problem is. for example i gave startdate as 01/01/2015 and end date as 09/31/2015 then the data must be in displayed in such a way that jan month in one tab and feb month data in one tab and so on to sep month data in new tab when i export to Excel.
I made one report in SSRS 2008 in which getting data from one SharePoint List.
three parameters in report :
Country StartDate EndDate
I am using query which I created with CAML.
query is running well and data is coming correctly if I run this on Query designer.and date format must be YYYY-MM-DD.but when I try to run through on run time then the date control is showing format dd/mm/yyyy.
I change the regional settings of windows and SharePoint site to English(United States). and when I select date control it is also putting date in format like "YYYY-MM-DD'. and in that format report is working well in Query designer view.But on run time still it is not working.
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?
We have SSRS reports (pointing to SQL 2012) containing cascading parameters that we have deployed on SharePoint 2013 and once a user makes a selection to the parent parameter, child parameters are getting refreshed based on the selection in the parent parameter and then we see this:
Once we hit Apply, the Loading image comes up and approximately10 seconds later, The whole webpage gets refreshed and the parameter selections get reset to default parameters.
This is getting frustrating because there are about 10 parameters in the report and once a user makes selections and hit apply if the page gets reset, the user has to make all the selections again.
We are working with Microsoft support on this who suggested us to increase the timeout setting of DistributedCache service on all our SharePoint servers which did seem to work initially but I do see this issue happening occasionally.
I am trying to develop a report from cube,and it has one drill through report.when i click on sales amount field on main report,then it open the drill through report with details.Here i passed the **(category,subcat,product)parameters(Cascaded)** to drill through report in action part of main report.In my main report i have two columns .
when i click on 100, parameters are passed & it open the detail report correctly, but when i click on 50,the values for subcat parameter is not getting values in detail report and same as the product also.
Is there a way to subscribe SSRS report using dynamic parameters for email and trigger the report from autosys job so that report should generate the exact time the job is triggered.Let me describe, my SSRS report should be triggered on success of one autosys job. i need to send email parameter and time of report schedule from this autosys job.
I am SSRS user, We have a .net UI from where we want to pass multi select values, but these values are comma separated in the database. how can I write a sql query such that when I select multi values on my UI, the comma separated values are take care of.
In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.
