Reporting Services :: Strip Unwanted Characters From Parameters For SSRS Report
May 22, 2015
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?
Is there any option to have interlaced strip lines in SSRS Sparklines as shown in the image? The image shown in created in SSRS 2005 using Dundas Charts. I would like to create this microchart in SSRS 2012.
I am passing a field value from main report to a parameter in a drill through sub report. But some field values contain 'special characters'. Those field values that contain special characters are not working for drill through. Javascript code to include special characters to pass to sub report parameter?
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 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.
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 using the following expression to place the month in the heading of a column.
=MonthName(Month(DateAdd("M",-1,Now)))
The expression above gives me the previous month, but I need to have it as "Jan", not "January".
expression that will give me the three character month name instead of the full month. I've tried substituting the "M" with "MMM", but get an error. I've also tried "Mon", but again, I get an error.
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?
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'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 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'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 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 have done the following and a domain user would not access report created a login to the SQL server to the user (this SQL Server is where data source DB is)went to site setting in Report Manager and made this use a system userright clicked on report folder and made this user in the browser roleeven checked that in the report in question, the user is already in the browser role Still the user would not access the report! "User .......... does not have required permission" is the error message I am getting.
I have written a report visual studio. The report has 10 multi-value parameters that pull data from their individual data sets within the reports. When running the report from within Visual Studio it renders fine. There are no errors reported, only a warning related to a pathname I have use to retrieve image data and display on the report.Deployment of the report is error free.When I view the report I briefly get the "Loading" splash window, but then nothing. None of the headers or static text is displayed. The results window is blank.
The report defaults all the parameter values. In trying to debug the issue I have found by reducing the number of parameter values the report will render. Once I have all the values added, the report does nothing.Below is the query being used for the report. The where clause in the query shows the parameters being used and the syntax.We are running on Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL Server 2008 R2.
Ralph SELECT RTRIM(a.ITEMNMBR) AS Style, RTRIM(a.ITEMDESC) AS Description, a.ITMSHNAM AS UPC, c.LOCNCODE AS Store, d.LISTPRCE AS ListPrice, a.CURRCOST AS Cost, a.USCATVLS_1 AS [Main Category], a.USCATVLS_2 AS Market, a.USCATVLS_3 AS [Alternate Retail], a.USCATVLS_4 AS Country, b.ITEMXTRAS_1_Type AS Type, b.ITEMXTRAS_2_Finish AS Finish, b.ITEMXTRAS_3_SubCategory AS SubCategory, b.ITEMXTRAS_4_Department AS Department,
I have a ssrs report having 2 tables in with 4 columns in each. When I go to export option in preview I can see all data coming in one excel sheet, But I am trying to get 2 tables in 2 different pages in Excel when I export.First page of excel comes with first table data with 4 columns and second page of excel comes with second table data with 4 columns .
I'm wondering how to print a SSRS report without bringing up a report viewer. Is there way to print(PDF format) the SSRS report in the web application( .net ) directly from the "print" button without bringing up a report viewer?
I am trying to setup a process in which a user, who is using a vb.net 2008 application, will need to trigger the creation of two items. The first is SSRS report which will need to be exported to PDF format to a shared folder on the network.
This report accepts one parameter. The second thing that will need to be created at the same time is an excel file with data exported from SQL Server 2008 which is generated through an SSIS package. A couple things to note. The excel file and the pdf file need to have the same file name, other than the extension.
For example P00000001_20100831.pdf and P00000001_20100831.xlsx and will both be stored in the same network share. The filenames need to be created dynamically at run time and will be based on a parameter being passed to the report.
So far I have the portion that creates the excel file working fine. The way I create that is as follows. I have a stored procedure that creates a job which calls the SSIS package and passes the appropriate parameters to the SSIS package.
After the job is created I immediately run it and then delete the job. Ok, everything works fine with that.
Now I cant seem to figure out how to get the pdf created. If possible I would like to keep this portion together with the already created job or package. I am running SQL Server 2008 standard so the data driven subs are out. I have thought about create a time subscription and then just using a SQL task in the package to execute the subscription but couldnt figure out how to pass the parameter to the report and create the filename.
How do I get data on my linked report based on my grouped subtotal and grand total from the main report. The subtotal and grand total are calculated columns.
I have a 3 columns in my matrix in the SSRS summary report. Actn_COAST, ActnCITY and NumbOfAccts.
The following is code for my summary report. The results are shown below.
SELECT Distinct ActnCITY, Count(ACCT) as NumbOfAccts, CASE WHEN ActnCITY in ('NY', 'OH', IN, 'NJ', 'SC', 'NC') THEN 'EAST COAST' WHEN ActnCITY IN ('CA'. 'NV', 'UT', 'WA', 'OR') THEN 'WEST COAST' ELSE 'OTHER' END AS Actn_COAST
FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT
Code for my detail report contains the following SQL
SELECT * FROM tbl1 where ACTNDATE between @STARTDT and @EndDT AND @ActnCITY = ActnCITY
I have linked my report based on the NumbOfAccts column. I am able to get data if I click any of the NumbOfAccts values related to the state I want. However when I am not sure how to make the subtotal and grand total work. I want when I click on the subtotal of either coast, I should be able to see records of that coast e.g., if I select 37 I should be able to see all the records in East Coast. If I click on the Grand Total, I only want data related to those 2 coasts.
Hi, I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter. When I navigate to the second report, I don't pass any parameters, but I get an error "parameter is missing a value" for the multi-valued report parameter. I have it setup as allow "multi-value" and "blank value". Any idea what the issue might be? Thanks.

I have done research and found out how to do it in OLAP cube ..but still can't figure out the TSQL query to be used.Found one of the query on forum:
SELECT * FROM DimWorkItem DWI INNER JOIN FactWorkItemLinkHistory FWILH ON DWI.System_Id = FWILH.TargetWorkItemID WHERE FWILH.WorkItemLinkTypeSK IN (SELECT DWILT.WorkItemLinkTypeSK FROM DimWorkItemLinkType DWILT WHERE DWILT.LinkName = N'Child') AND DWI.System_WorkItemType = N'Task' AND DWI.System_Rev = (SELECT MAX(DWI1.System_Rev) FROM DimWorkItem DWI1 WHERE DWI1.System_Id = DWI.System_Id) AND FWILH.SourceWorkItemID IN (SELECT DWI2.System_Id FROM DimWorkItem DWI2 WHERE DWI2.System_WorkItemType = N'Bug');
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.
