Please can someone provide an overview of how to select all records in the parameter list. I am trying to get an understanding of how this works.
Having a union join with all value is fine, to retrieve the value of 'all'. However, given the data-set there is no 'all' value. From reading the ms course notes, the query syntax is: select from where = (field = @x) or @x = 'all'. How does this syntax work? Does x = all, so all= all = true then returns all records?
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.
Using SSRS 2008 r2...I have a report with a single-value parameter and three multi-value parameters, Class1, Name2 and Name3. I'm hoping for an explanation to one thing that I'm seeing and information on a second thing.
Class1 and Name2 both have the (Select All) parameter selected but Class1 is displaying the concatenated parameter variable list whereas Name2 is showing Null. Why is that? If anything, how can I get Class1 to be similar to Name2 and show Null?But my desired wish is to have Class1, Name2 and Name3 display the text"All Selected" when the parameter (Select All) is chosen.
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
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 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'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.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?
I am not sure this is the correct place to post this question, but here it is. I am trying to pass some parameters to SSIS from a report using the report parameter, then SSIS will create the datareaderdest and return to the report to use.
Anyone have any idea, guidance or leads please share it out. Thanks in advance.
I have a dataset listing distinct values for items (like 1, D10, M4, etc.) The WHERE statement in my query refers to unit IN(@Unit). I then have 2 report parameters to select 1) a date (datetime); and 2) a multivalue parameter to select one or all of the "units". I would like the second parameter to default to "Select All". Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm sure this is a fairly simple thing but I am really struggling. The report parameter is set as multivalue; My "available values" is set to "from query" and refers to my "unit" dataset and the value and label fields are set to "unit" (only field I bring into this particular dataset). The "Default Values" section is set to "from query" , the dataset is set to "unit" and the value is set to "unit". I can preview the report and select a date but the list of units comes up with all boxes unchecked, including "Select All". Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
I have this semi-complex query that is selecting items from numerous tables residing on 2 different databases. So far the query works perfectly. Here is the problem: The user is given the option of selecting items based on whether a course is Completed (C) Incomplete (I) Passed (P) Failed (F) or (ALL). I am not really sure how to do the select all, the others I can do depending on the value...
Any thoughts??
Query:
sql Code:
Original - sql Code
ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[Sel_CourseActivityPerUser] ( @status varchar(25), @course varchar(100), @datesmalldatetime ) AS
All, I have a report that needs to return a number of columns from a table based on 2 parameters [StartDate & EndDate [datetime]].
Here is my dataset Select * from table1 where start_date between @StartDate and @Enddate. In table1 [start_date datetime ,example value=[3/6/2008 6:41:47 PM]]
My problem is how do I convert the start_date to [3/6/2008] within my Dataset. Something like the below.[I get an error when I do the below] Select * from table1 where convert(varchar(10),start_date,111) between @StartDate and @Enddate.
The reason for doing this is because when I pick, StartDate as 01/01/2008 and EndDate as 1/31/2008.My report only return's values of 01/01/2008 to 01/30/2008.The items that falls on 1/31/2008 do not get displayed as the datasets does not consider time when comparing,but only the date part.
Do give me a suggestion,solution to this.Thank You in advance!
I don't want to use SSRS's GUI for parameter entry. It's quite minimal and not very easy to use for users and doesn't cope very well with large selection lists (E.g if you wanted to select 3 companies from a list of 60 000 to run a report for).
So I want to make my own parameter entry screen and then pass only the user parameter value selection on to the report parameters. Can I do that? Are the parameters exposed?
I'd wanna do something like: My_SSRS_Rep.param1=@MyValFromMyApp1 My_SSRS_Rep.param2=@MyValFromMyApp2 My_SSRS_Rep.Run/Refresh/View
Currently I just have a Windows form with a web browser control in it. And I've set the url to http://myserver/reportserver?%2fDB+Report+Server%myRep&rs:Command=Render So it is possible? Or do I need to go about this some other way like using the SSRS Report Viewer or some other mechanism?
Answer: http://www.sqlteam.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=88484 Report Viewer it is then!
UPDATE1: Or maybe not... When I do the following, the report does not refresh:
Dim param(0) As Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter param(0) = New Microsoft.Reporting.WinForms.ReportParameter("Test", a) Me.ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(param) Me.ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh()
There is a select all option for each multivalue parameter. If this option is selected, I would like to display in the report that the parameter selected is "ALL" instead of using the Join(parameter!parametername.value,",") to display all the values. Any idea how I check to see if the select all at the beginning is checked?
I am using RS 2000. I have a multi select parameter where I can select multiple states by separating with a comma. I am trying to figure out how to incorporate an "All" parameter.
Query:
Select [name], city, state, zipcode From Golf inner join charlist_to_table(@State,Default)f on State = f.str

I am facing some issues with parameter in SSRS reports that when my parameter contains the space then i get the syntax error can be seen below.If i choose any other parameter value which do not contains the space then it works well. I am using SSAS cube as a data source.
Hello, I tie up columns with parameters.what ever column are selected only those column should be displayed. Now my parameter are string data type. I write this expression in column-->propertyvisibility--> hide-->Expression
I've a SSRS monthly sales report with the sales details for current year and last year. I've 4 paramaters in the report. StartDate1, EndDate1, StartDate2 (hidden), EndDate2 (hidden).
For
StartDate1 - Beginning of Last month - DateAdd(DateInterval.Month, -1, DateSerial(Year(Date.Now), Month(Date.Now), 1)) (Will give me Feb 1 2015)
EndDate1 - End of Last month - DateAdd(DateInterval.Minute, -1, DateSerial(Year(Date.Now), Month(Date.Now), 1)) (Will give me Feb 28 2015)
I wanted to know more about validation of SSRS parameters. I have a simple report which has a parameter called startdate of DateTime datatype. The datetime parameter in SSRS takes manual input as well. So, the user can enter any junk value. I want to ensure that the input parameter is in correct format and I want to display an error msg when the format is incorrect. My report has the following VB code for validation:
Public Function Validate( ByVal startdate As String) As Boolean If IsDate(startdate) = True Then Return True Else Return False End If End Function
And my report has a textbox which has the expression property set to;
=Code.Validate(Parameters!startdate.Value) the textbox on the report has to display if the entered date is valid or not.
But, when i enter an erroneous date, SSRS doesn't render the report and throws a generic error. This happens even before the code written for validating the parameter executes.
Also couldn't find a way to disable the manual input for the datetime parameter. Even that would solve the problem.
Another alternative was to make the startdate parameter as string, but i want the calendar control button to be provided for the user.
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?
I am trying to calculate a measure based on parameter passed I have a liquidation rate of amount/facevalue when the dimension attribute is 'all' and i will like to the 'amount' to change based on the parameter passed and the 'facevalue' should not changed , i tried with the code below.
What I noticed is when i add a calculated member to return the currentmember of the cell member
measures.strat as [Strategy].[ICS].CURRENTMEMBER.uniquename it comes back as [Strategy].[ICS].[All]
even when I changed the default value for the parameter to another member like red
WITH MEMBER MEASURES.TEST AS (( CASE WHEN [Strategy].[ICS].CURRENTMEMBER.uniquename = '[Strategy].[ICS].[All]' THEN [Measures].[Measures].[AMOUNT]
hi all m newbie for SSRS 2005 . when i ran the folowing query it gives an error like "An error occurred while executing the query.Parser: The syntax for '.' is incorrect".
WITH SET [FilteredAccountSet] AS 'order(Parameter!Account.Value,[Measures].[_MeasureBillingCode],ASC)'
I'm sure what I am trying to do is very simple - but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a report based on a SSAS cube (SQL 2005). The report shows sales based on the dates the user selects from the parameter field (the date parameter field comes from a Y-Q-M-D hierarchy). This all works fine.
What I would like to happen is for the members within the last 3 months to be automatically selected so that the report automatically executes for the last 3 months.
Can anyone help or offer any advice. If possible I would like to achieve this using the GUI features so that power users can use the "plug and pray interface".
In an existing ssrs 2012 report, I want to basically add the following logic to a new dataset that will be used by a new parameter called 'Inventory'.
SELECT DISTINCT Inv_number as value, Inv_name as label FROM s.dbo.fnUser( @endYear, 0, 0, 0) WHERE (@report is not null) order by label,value
In this ssrs report, there are 15 reports that can automatically be generated. I basically want this new parameter called 'Inventory' to only be active when the 4th report is selected to be generated. Thus in the query I listed above, how can I change the query to only be active when the 4th report is selected?
I tried to change the where clause to (@report(4) is not null), but that did not work.
I have a question regarding how to use report prompts in SSRS reports that are based on SQL queries. When I added the prompt into the query for use as a filter value, it says that there is an error. It does not recognise the '!' inside the parameter prompt string. Example is parameter!month_prompt.Value, which the ! is not recognised.
I have created ssrs report which has a parameter for start date. I want another parameter which shows time-frame of 6months,12 months,18 months,24 months which calculate dynamically from my start date

In my report I have two parameters PID and patientName, but user want to enter either PID or patientName. When I preview the report user can only enter one parameter not both. Is there any way to create two parameter available but users can enter only one parameter value?Here is my report layout and query I used for that report. These two parameters comes from one column 'String_NVC' as from query and column name 'Description' as from the report layout.
SELECT Username_NVC AS Username, String_NVC, Time_DT AS UserActionDateandTime, FROM test
