I'm pulling data from Sharepoint via SOAP (GetListItem).
The data pulls correctly. In the VS tab, when I execute the dataset, I can see multiple values and I see what I expect to see.
The problem arises when I actually use the report. I have a single Report Parameter (note that I have no parameters defined in the dataset):
Name: Num
Data Type: String
Prompt: #
Allow Blank Value
From query
Dataset: SPList
Value field: ows_Num
Label field: ows_Num
Default Values: Null
So the report prompts the end user to drop down a box containing a list of items (displaying "Num"). This is exactly what I'd like to see. However, if they select any report, it only displays the first one in the Sharepoint List. No field in the report is set to =First(blahblah). They're all =Field!blahblah.
In addition to this, I have a field in the same Sharepoint list that returns a numeric value (nnnn.nnnnnnnnnn). I want this to be a currency format. I've right clicked the text box -> Properties -> Format -> Format Data and entered C. This does not change the output on the report. It remains a value without a dollar sign and with >2 decimal places.
I'm having the same issue with a datetime field. Sharepoint enters a datetime as mm/dd/yyyy hh:mms. I need to drop the "hh:mms", but again, when formatting the box as d in the Report designer, it still renders with the time.
Am having difficulty with report/query parameters, where the report now regularly tells me that I must declare the scalar variable @Site.
I want to use 3 data sources :
1. to select a site from a list of sites - works fine and I can select at runtime
2. Once this is selected - I need to present a pair of dates to the user - min and max for data for the site - needs selection 1 to have been performed. Now I HAVE seen this work - once, the date selectors were greyed out until the site had been chosen, then they became available. Now I get the scalar variable error.
3. Finally I will pull the data with 3 parameters (site, startdate, enddate)
This was almost working, and the detail was produced for item 3, until I introduced the date selection option. Now neither item 2 or 3 will accept the users selected site - its from a drop-down.
All 3 queries are being performed by SQL SP's :
1. exec getsitelist - used to populate the dropdown to select @Site
2. exec getdates @Site - used to preset the start/end dates (NB I would really like calendar control here to select the date, with the value pulled from 1 to set the start point - but hey lets walk first ;-).
3. exec GetData @Site, @Start, @End
SOooo - can SSRS2005 even support dependent parameters of this type ??.
If so - whats the best way to create the parameters etc. ??. NB I can see all 3 parameter defs in 'Report Parameters'.
I need to pass the out put from a stored procedure as an input parameter to another stored procedure. I created a data set for each stored procedure. Fron the second data set parameter tab, I added a parameter to refer to the field from the first data set.
I get the error Fiels can not be used in query parameter expressions.
I tried two simple queries instead of stored procedures with first query feeding the second query. I get the same error. Is there any other other way to accomplish this?
In the data tab of my report (Reporting Services for SQL Server 2000), I'd like to run a query that requires parameters be passed to it. Is there a way to pass the parameters of the report to that query?
We are using xml to pull data from a custom sharepoint list into sql 2005. We have set a parameter that allows the user to filter the data by surname, however when the user tries to filter the list the drop down box brings up a list of every record, so there are duplicate entries for each surname.
Is there a way of filtering this so that there is only one instance of the users surname instead of it showing all the records?
How can I pass a parameter used for the DataSet query? I'm using this DataSet file as data source of my .rdlc report for Windows Forms.
I've already done a .rdlc report to Web Forms where I passed the query parameter by ObjectDataSource.SelectParameters, but in Windows Forms this object was not created. I just hava the following created objects:
I have three databases which have the identical data structure. When the user runs a report, he has to select a database. For example, my report query would look like:
Select * from <theDatabase>.dbo.MyTable
How could I assign the value of <theDatabase> at run time depending on what the user selects from the list? In my datasource, I have only specified the server name and no value for initial catalog.
I am using this custom data extension from BI Studio.
Que1: I want to create report parameters from BI studio and capture them in my Data Extension.
Que2: Every report parameter has so many properties, like hidden, internal, default value etc, how do capture that information in my data extension, the parameters only give me name and value.
Que3: I know I can capture command Text. So My command can be Select * From tablename where fieldname= @myFieldname. Once I get this commandText in my data extension, How do extract parameters of the command?
Que4: If I have any custom attributes in my RDL file, Can I capture them in my Data Extension ?
I have a report I want to modify and when I go to deploy it I get:
Changing the report parameters or data sources to the values you specified is not allowed. The report is configured to run unattended. Using the specified values would prevent the unattended processing of this report
Now I understand the error, it is because on the report server's web management interface I entered credentials for the report to run that point to a custom datasource and supplied the appropriate credentials to run the report.
However, I don't want to have to reconfigure that just to deploy a slightly modified version of the report.
How can I get around this? Or what is the proper work around? I just want to change the background color from dark gray to light gray on a header column....
I am attempting to pass report parameters to my query. My report's data source is a WCF web service. I can run normal queries fine, but I have found that without the know-how to pass parameters to my query I am limited with my capabilities.
Assume a string parameter named "Name" with a specified default value of "Jmachol90", how would I pass that into the following query at the designated place: Â Â <Query> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/masterdataservices/2009/09" Name="SecurityPrincipalsGetRequest"> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="Criteria" Type="XML"> <DefaultValue>
It's well known issue, that one can't use any dataset fields in a report header/footer directly. One of the approach is to create query-based parameter that basically equals =First(Fields!@FieldName@.Value, "@DataSetName@") and use that parameter value instead. But it doesn't work in my case!
My report displays some entity description and is parametrized with EntityID param. Its header contains entity name that, according to the approach, is queried from the data source through the EntityName report parameter. There's important issue: the report is displayed in ReportViewer control, that is embedded into my application and entity ID parameter isn't ser by user in ReportViewer parameters area. Its default value is changed by the application with SetReportParameters() web method every time a user wants to view the report according to the entity the user is exploring in the application. But after the report has been rendered, its header always contains not actual (outdated) entity name. Nevertheless, the report body contains actual data (including entity name). If I alter entity ID parameter in ReportViewer or in web-based Report Manager and refresh report, header displays correct entity name.
I have a SSRS report with four parameters,and I want to be able to enter information for two of the parameters and run the report opposed to all four of them. However, when I select allow blanks and only select the parameters that I want to run the report by, the report come back blank..Essentially, I want to be able to the run report by different parameters without having to enter information for all parameters at the same time.
I have created a report with the report server project template.
the report is created from stoked procedure having defaut input parameters.
With visual studio, i publish my report on reportserver. whenever i access to my report on this url :
http://localhost/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%2fReport+Project4%2fReport4&rs:Command=Render. the created report is with the default parameters.
I would like to know if i can transmet parameters for the stocked procedure to build the report with the request i want.
I tried to put parameter directly in the url in this way
We have an Office SharePoint 2007 site, we developed a couple of web parts and added them to our site. We used SQL Server Reporting services 2005 as our reporting solution. The reports are hosted on the report center and when we need a report, we open it by sending a URL requesting the report, passing the report parameters in the URL query string. So the report is filtered based on the parameters passed from the web parts.
But since best practices say that you should host reports directly under SharePoint, by configuring the reporting services to run in the SharePoint integrated mode. We followed the steps and installed SharePointRS and we finally succeeded to publish the reports to a SharePoint folder, but we had a limitation: we are unable to pass the report parameters internally to the report hosted in SharePoint. If we passed them in the query string as the report center case, SharePoint neglects them totally. So the question is: how can I pass parameters internally between a SharePoint web part and a SQL server 2005 reporting services report hosted in SharePoint?
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 .
columns are **Level**  and        **Salesamount**. Â
Values are like Â
**[-]category** Â Â Â Â Â Â Â **100** Â Â **[-]subcat** Â Â Â Â Â Â **50** Â Â Â Â Â **product** Â Â Â Â Â **30**
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 having hard time in sending parameters to the report server through reportviewer control from my application. Could anybody help me on this issue?. Is there any way to send the parameters and also what kind of configuration do i need on my report project so that it can accept parameters from my application.
I have a really cool Budget report which has two matrices on it. One is used/visible if the user selects four levels of grouping, and one is used if the user selects only three levels of grouping. The four choices for grouping are four fields, Par, FERC, Point, and Resource.
Since grouping is optional, I need a way to pass the parameter for a field that is not grouped on from the main report to the drillthrough report. For example if the user chooses to group on all fields but Point, I need to pass the report parameter that was used by the main report for Point to the drillthrough report as a report parameter.
So, I tried testing the three grouping levels values and if none were equal to "Point" then pass in the parameter by putting the following expression in the Parameter Value box for the Point parameter on the Navigation tab of the datacell of the main report that is the drillthrough link:
=iif( Parameters!GroupLevel1.Value <> "Point" and Parameters!GroupLevel2.Value<>"Point" and Parameters!GroupLevel3.Value<>"Point" , Join(Parameters!PNTPoint.Value,",") , Fields!Point.UniqueName )
But this is not working; the drillthrough report shows a blank dropdown for the Point parameter and I have to manually set it. Does anyone see an error in the syntax of the iif statement?
Any references, links, resources or good clean jokes would be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to poplulate some control like Dropdownlist (for example, with Product names Or Product Ids) from database table in SSRS project type and then filter report by choosing various choice pre-populated in dropdownlist control.
Project Type is : SQL Server Reportings 2005.
Desired Action: Report will run in browser, User will choose specific product and Run the report(filter) to show that product relate results.
Hi all, From the "How to Call a Parameterized Stored Procedure by Using ADO.NET and Visual Basic.NET" in http://support.microsft.com/kb/308049, I copied the following code to a project "pubsTestProc1.vb" of my VB 2005 Express Windows Application:

Is it possible to add custom controls in for parameters in report manager??
I have a parameter that requires the user to click a button and select a bunch of things in another form. How can i do this in reporting services??
I also would like to change the layout of the parameters toolbar, ie. make text boxes smaller widths, show/hide parameters based on other parameter values.
I know i could write my own web page that does this and hide the parameters toolbar when they run the report, but this would mean that we lose other functionality that report manager has, eg. scheduling.
Does anyone know if customising the report manager will become available in a later version??
Report A has two parameters defined as "Prompted", meaning the report input area is available for the user.
Report A parameters ---> StartDate, EndDate
When Report B invokes Report A using the Jump To Report Functionality and passing Report B's StartDate and EndDate parameters, Report A seems to think the parameters are implied and not needed and fails to drop down the parameter input area.
This is not desired because the user should be able to change report A's parameters.
I have 3 report parameters: startdate, enddate, callstatus
My problem is that once I added callstatus to the parameter list my dates were ignored?
What do I need to do to correct it?
My select code is as below:
SELECT Ticket.TicketNumber, Application.ApplicationName, Status.StatusName, Ticket.LastModifiedBy, CONVERT(datetime, Ticket.CreatedDate), Company.CompanyName FROM Ticket INNER JOIN Application ON Ticket.ApplicationID = Application.ApplicationID INNER JOIN Status ON Ticket.StatusID = Status.StatusID INNER JOIN Company ON Application.CompanyID = Company.CompanyID WHERE (CONVERT(datetime, Ticket.CreatedDate) >= @StartDate) AND (CONVERT(datetime, Ticket.CreatedDate) <= @EndDate) AND (Status.StatusName IN (@CallStatus)) OR ('SELECT ALL' IN (@CallStatus))
My report Parameters have the values listed in the Non-queried part on report parameters
Why is it that EVERY TIME you make any change at all to a data set or parameter, RS automatically changes your parameters from single value to Multi-value????
Is there a way to force report designer overlook parameter dependencies, so that a report could be displayed by either of the two parameters although one parameter accepts but not requires the other?
For Example:
In my report I have two parameters, DeptID and ProjectID. The two drop downs display Departments and Projects respectively but only if the department is selected, the Projects list becomes active as its expecting a DepartmentID in the stored proc but accepts a null value as well. So, what I would like to achieve is display ALL projects in the Projects list, even if no department is selected. Any ideas how to do that?
I have an mdx report that uses 7 parameters. How do I stop the parameters from being dependent on one another and cascading? When a user changes a parameter value, the flashing and repopulating of the other parameter boxes takes longer than the actual report to run.
I've tried removing the dependencies from the parameter dataset mdx code as well as edititng the parameter datasets and removing the dependencies.
Is cascading parameter relationships a default by design?
Hi, I have a report and the parameters Passed to the report are Cusip and PeriodId through a stored Procedure.
i want to populate the cusip Parameters using a dataset thats got by a sproc called usp_getCusips.
and the PerioId using a dataset thats been got by another sproc called usp_Getperiods...
So in my report i have added 3 datasets one for the main report, one to get the values of the PeriodId and other to get the value of the cusip.
So in my Report parameters for the Parameter Cusip and i have checked the Available value option and selected its corresponding Dataset and value .
and i have also done the same thing for the PeriodId.. But when i run my sproc i am getting this Error.
[rsInvalidReportParameterDependency] The report parameter €˜Cusip€™ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter €œCusip€?. Forward dependencies are not valid.
[rsInvalidReportParameterDependency] The report parameter €˜PeriodId€™ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter €œPeriodId€?. Forward dependencies are not valid.
I've had a report working that uses a parameter that allows null values. So, of course, I have the "Allow Null Values" flag checked on the parameters dialog for the respective parameter. But recently I changed the "Available values" option for the parameter to "From Query" but then I lose the ability to allow a null value! Why is this happening? Why are they mutually exclusive?
I am doing report development against cube. I have a main report and a sub report in the main report. I am collecting the parameters in the main report and passing into sub report which has the same exact parameters. (I am assigning parameters to the sub report from the Fields collection. If I assign from the Parameter collection, it works fine, but I need to do based on Fields collection because I have my grouping like that)
I am getting the error above, what could I be doing wrong?
I'm writing a web interface and calling reports from report server. I first used the ReportViewer control. But it seemed to be impressively faster to directly call the report URL and link that directly in a frame.
This all works fine. But I want to dynamically add the parameter values that are used by the report in my URL string. To find out those, I have written a stored procedure:
CREATE PROCEDURE dbo.spIIMGetReportParameters @sReportname varchar(255) AS BEGIN SET NOCOUNT ON; DECLARE @xmlParameter xml SELECT @xmlParameter = (SELECT Parameter FROM [catalog] WHERE [Name] = @sReportname) SELECT parameter.Name.value('.','nvarchar(50)') AS ParameterName FROM @xmlParameter.nodes('/Parameters/Parameter/Name') as parameter(Name) END
Then I loop through the result and add parameters to the Url string. But sometimes I get parameters that are not needed.
Is there another way to find at runtime which parameters a report expects?
I have kept two Report Parameters "StartDate" and "EndDate" and i have selected From Query and viewed the preview. I got the reults but when i am selecting the two dates it is not validating the condition.
I need the results between StartDate and EndDate. For this i have to set any where in the parameters or is there any other way
