Hi,
I am creating a data set for a ROLAP report which executes a dynamic SQL using EXEC. I am finding problems parameterizing multi-valued report parameters in the SQL being executed through EXEC.
To consider a sample code:
EXEC('select * from country where country_key in ('+@country+')')
where @country is a multi-valued report parameter.
Regards,
Emil
I have a sp where query is as below.
DECLARE @ServerCIName varchar(5000)
SELECT * FROMÂ dbo.INC
WHERE Status in ('Assigned','In Progress','Pending')
and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%'
and (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, (Submit_Date)), 0)) = (select DATEADD(dd, DATEDIFF(dd, 0, getdate()), 0))
In place of "and Description like '%' + (Select * from SplitDelimiterString(@ServerName,',')) + '%' ", if I use "and Description like '%' + @ServerName + '%' " and pass a single value, it works.
But @ServerName contains multiple values and it is dynamic (not constant).
How do I query the data?
Hello,
I am forced to use a Sp in teh first place as my query is too long for the text dataset. I have a parameter Time_Period which ia a multivalued one but it is not allowing me to use this in the SP. using RS 2005.
Any help appereciated.
Thanks
Hello,
I am attempting to create a cascading parameter.
Parameter's 1 & 2 are multi-valued.
Datasets 1 & 2 supply Parameter's 1 & 2.
The values for Parameter 1 as derived from Dataset 1 are 'A', 'B', 'C', 'D' and 'E'.
The potential values for Parameter 2 will only be created if value 'C' is amongst the multiple values selected for Parameter 1.
Thus I need to write my query for Dataset 2 so that it can check the values of Parameter 1 for the existence of 'C' otherwise it returns nothing.
What is the best practice for a dataset referencing the values of a multi-valued parameter in order to generate it's resultset?
Any help is appreciated.
I want to set defaults for my multi-valued report parameter MONTH so that when the report starts, it automatically selects all the months prior to the current month (effectively creates a YTD report). However, using RS2005, I can't seem to figure out how to do this. I can create an IIF expression in 12 different value entries in the report parameters that returns the month based on the system date, but the first time I pass blanks, null or anything except a valid parameter, it clears the entire parameter list when the report displays.
Does anyone have any suggestions for auto-populating multiple values in a parameter at runtime where one or more of the parameter values may be empty? Checking "Allow Null" or "Allow Blank" doesn't fix this problem.
I tried to pass all the values in a single value entry on the report parameters page, but can't find the syntax that will allow this. I'm not sure if it will let you do that anyway...

I have a multi-valued parameter that I want to pass to a subreport. The values are 11, 12, 13, and 14.
So here's what I've done:
1. For the properties of the clickable field of the first report, I have gone to the Navigation tab and chosen the subreport in the "jump to report" pulldown.
2. Then I clicked on the Parameters button and added a parameter name for the multi-valued parameter I am trying to send. For the Parameter value, I have tried 11,12,13,14. I have also tried =Split(11,12,13,14)
3. On the subreport, I create a report parameter with the same name, data type is string, multi-value is checked, and the available values pulldown is populated by a query.
So I run the first report and click on the link that brings me to the subreport, but all the subreport shows is the results for 11, not 12, 13, and 14.
How can I get the second report to understand that I want it to show all the records related to 11, 12, 13, and 14? If I bypass the first report and simply use the drop-down to choose 11, 12, 13, and 14 in the subreport, it works fine. I just can't seem to figure out how to correctly have the first report tell the subreport that it wants 11, 12, 13, and 14.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Hello everybody,
I need to create a function which takes a multi-value parameter. When I select more than one item, I get the error that I have too many arguments. Does anybody have a solution?
Or can I create a view and then do a "SELECT * FROM viewName WHERE columnName IN (@param)"?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Hello Everyone,
I am trying to expand the multi-valued parameter menu object so I can display the selection list in a more user-friendly format since the text is fairly long. If left at the default setting then I have to scroll to the right to see the complete string(s). For a single-select parameter I can just CAST the string to CHAR(100) and the menu object will expand. However, it seems that this approach is not working for multi-valued parameter menu objects.
Is this a bug in SSRS, and is there another way to accomplish this. Please let me know.
Thank You!!!
How does one return all selected values in a multi-valued parameter? Right now i have a filter on the dataset where
(Expression)
=Fields!LOCATION_ID.Value
(Operator)
=
(Value)
=Parameters!Loc.Value(0)
This is just giving me data from the first value that is selected in the multi-valued dropdown. I need all returned from the parameter. Any ideas.
Hi There.
I have a Multi-valued parameter that is a string type and it freaks out when a do a select all from my drop down list. I suspect it has something to do with size as it works great if a pick a reasonable amount of items. My parameter list is populated by 1463 items of 12 characters each. Is there a threshold I should have to worry about?
Thanks, Mike
Hi All,
I'm having trouoble with changing my report name when I swtich to different parameter values.
I use the following expression.
IIf(Parameters!GroupVar1.Label = "CBank", "CBank", IIf(Parameters!GroupVar1.Value ="DTC","DTC","Total"))
This works fine when I clear Mutli-Value box in paramter properties. but when I use multi-value, this does not work.
Is there any solution for this?
Thanks
Hi All,
I'm unable to run the report the report with multi-valued parameter using the below StoredProcedure as dataset:
CREATE PROCEDURE spprodsales
@productid int
AS
select SalesOrderID,OrderQty,UnitPrice,ProductID
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
Where ProductID IN (@productid)
RETURN
And when I'm replacing this dataset to a query as below I'm able to run the report with multiple values selected for productid parameter :
select SalesOrderID,OrderQty,UnitPrice,ProductID
FROM Sales.SalesOrderDetail
Where ProductID IN (@productid)
So, can anyone please help me out possibly using the same stored procedure as above.
Thanks,
Kripa
I have report where i should create a report which is multivalued parametr report,but here my condition is i want to see only one county name  in my output that is Ex: Asia Specific (CountryName),I dnt want to see the other Country names,So how should we create for this condition .
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a report that includes two multi-valued parameters.
In the Default Values section, I choose 'from query' and select dataset and value field.
In the Available Values section, I choose 'from query' select the same dataset and value field, and in the label field I select the relevant label field.
When I run the report my multi-valued parameters look like I selected the option 'select all' (all options are selected).
How can I keep the multi-valued parameters cleared from selections until the user select his choice? Thanks in advance.
I have researched this question and so far have found very different opinions as to how or if it is possible.I have created 2 Data-driven subscriptions in SSRS. 1 for our sales persons and another for our managers reports. For the salespersons report, the solution works brilliantly as expected and I can appreciated the increased simplicitly for having 1 subscription to drive reports to a sales staff of over 100 folks.One the other hand, I can't seem to grasp the significance of this type of solution for the Sales managers when they have multiple salespersons that report to them.
Apparently, SSRS 2008 has provided no practical solution for this scenario that would be easily implemented in a Data driven subscription.Since I can't find a way to pass in muliple integer values that represent each of the salesreps for a single manager, I am stuck with potentially sending multiple reports for each of the Sales Reps residing under a single manager. Not very elegant or useful as I'd hoped for using Data driven subscriptions. I have even changed the parameter datatype to string and used something like:
paramSalesPeople = substring((SELECT ( ', ' + CAST(territoryid AS VARCHAR(2000)))
FROM Reports..SalesForce t2
WHERE t1.SalesManagerID = t2.SalesManagerID
ORDER BY SalesManagerID
FOR XML PATH( '' )), 3, 1000 )
To create a comma-delimited list of values for the parameters in effort of generating 1 (ONE) record per Manager. But the Data Driven Subscription fails miserably.So the question, Is it or is it not possible to have multiple values passed as a single parameter to a data driven subscription to consolidate the number of required reports into one. If not, it would seem that it should be possible since it can be done from the reports parameters drop-down menu.I have read someones recommendation to script the multi-valued parameter which seems to defeat the intent of the term "Data Driven' Subscription if I have to hard-code this logic into a script.
I have a MultiValued parameter called Owners, which stores Owner Ids.
I wish to set the value of a textbox to the following:
=iif(3 IN(Parameters!Owners.Value),"foo","bar")
but the "IN" is not recognised.
How can I achieve this functionality using an expression?
Thanks,

Hi
i have a report that can show upto 8 charts, dependant on the selection(s) made in a multi-valued parameter.
basically, the report gets loads of data back from DataCube.
if the user has selected (for example) 2 categories in the multi-valued parameter (e.g. "beverages" & "confectionary") , the the first chart will show the results filtered for "beverages" and the second chart will show the results for the "confectionary" category.
but
i want to hide any charts that are not used - i.e. the user only selects 3 categories, i want to show 3 and hide 5 charts and am trying to do this with IIF in the FILTER properties of the chart
so for each chart, i am checking to see if a Category selection has been made for that chart - and if it has, filter the results and display the chart. if no selection has been made, then filter the results for "XXXXX" (no data with this category)
am doing this by trying to get the selected value or "xxxxx" if noting selected
to hide the second chart when only one category has been selected, tried
e.g. for the third chart
=iif(
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.count>2,
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.Label(2),
"xxxxx")
doesnt work - gives an #Error as a reult
But it works fine when there are > 2 categories selected
also
this works fine when there is 2 or >2 category selected
=iif(
Parameters!LOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.count>2,
"more than 2",
"not more than 2")
it would appear that IIF is trying to evaluate the TRUE condition(Parameters!HydraCORELOOKUPITEMCategoryDescription.Label(2)) even though the condition is false !!!
help please
thx
Ok, I'm pretty knowledgable about T-SQL, but I've hit something that seems should work, but just doesn't...
I'm writing a stored procedure that needs to use the primary key fields of a table that is being passed to me so that I can generate what will most likely be a dynamically generated SQL statement and then execute it.
So the first thing I do, is I need to grab the primary key fields of the table. I'd rather not go down to the base system tables since we may (hopefully) upgrade this one SQL 2000 machine to 2005 fairly soon, so I poke around, and find sp_pkeys in the master table. Great. I pass in the table name, and sure enough, it comes back with a record set, 1 row per column. That's exactly what I need.
Umm... This is the part where I'm at a loss. The stored procedure outputs the resultset as a resultset (Not as an output param). Now I want to use that list in my stored procedure, thinking that if the base tables change, Microsoft will change the stored procedure accordingly, so even after a version upgrade my stuff SHOULD still work. But... How do I use the resultset from the stored procedure? You can't reference it like a table-valued function, nor can you 'capture' the resultset for use using the syntax like:
DECLARE @table table@table=EXEC sp_pkeys MyTable
That of course just returns you the RETURN_VALUE instead of the resultset it output. Ugh. Ok, so I finally decide to just bite the bullet, and I grab the code from sp_pkeys and make my own little function called fn_pkeys. Since I might also want to be able to 'force' the primary keys (Maybe the table doesn't really have one, but logically it does), I decide it'll pass back a comma-delimited varchar of columns that make up the primary key. Ok, I test it and it works great.
Now, I'm happily going along and building my routine, and realize, hey, I don't really want that in a comma-delimited varchar, I want to use it in one of my queries, and I have this nice little table-valued function I call split, that takes a comma-delimited varchar, and returns a table... So I preceed to try it out...
SELECT *FROM Split(fn_pkeys('MyTable'),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error. Ugh. Eventually, I even try:
SELECT *FROM Split(substring('abc,def',2,6),DEFAULT)
Syntax Error.
Hmm...What am I doing wrong here, or can't you use a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
SELECT *FROM Split('bc,def',DEFAULT) works just fine.
So my questions are:
Is there any way to programmatically capture a resultset that is being output from a stored procedure for use in the stored procedure that called it?
Is there any way to pass a scalar-valued function as a parameter into a table-valued function?
Oh, this works as well as a work around, but I'm more interested in if there is a way without having to workaround:
DECLARE @tmp varchar(8000)
SET @tmp=(SELECT dbo.fn_pkeys('MyTable'))
SELECT *
FROM Split(@tmp,DEFAULT)
Hi,
after the installation of SP1 I have a problem with multi-valued report parameters.
The option to select all values are gone.
Is there a bug within SP1?
Before the installtion of SP1 multi-valued report parameters works fine, the option to select all values was added automatically within the preview in Visual Studio 2005 and in published reports on the server.
The server was migrated from SQL2000 SP4 to SQL2005.
So long

I am creating a Line chart report from a table. The source table includes a code column (String), date column (Datetime), and 12 statistic columns (Int). The dates are end of month dates only. ("1/31/2006", "2/28/2006","3/31/2006", etc.) There are about 8 different codes for each month. The statisic columns are the totals for the month for each code for a particular statistic.
PeriodEndDate Code Statistic1 Statistic2 Statistic3 Statistic4 ...
XX/XX/XXXX XX 999 999 999 999 ...
On my line chart I want to show one or more statistics for one year for one or more codes. (A line for each statistic for a given code) The report has multi-valued parameters for the codes and the statistics. I have figured out how to create the chart for one or more codes for a given statistic. How can I select one or more statistic? Can any one help me out?
Thanks,
Fred
Hi There.
I am struggling with an issue with multi-valued parameters. I have a parameter that is a list of several hundred items and when someone selects all of them, I display the huge list in the report header vias the join command.
This works great for a few parameters, but overwrites my data when the list is large. I want to do something in the expression where I determine if all items are selected and then just display 'All' instead of the whole list. Any ideas would be very helpful!
Thanks, Mike
Hello
I am trying to do the following:
1. Create a Multi-statement Table-valued Functions, say mstvF1, with 1 parameter.
2. Then, use it like this: "Select * from table T, mstvF1( T.id )"
It gives me Line 100: Incorrect syntax near 'T', referring to the T of T.id.
If I do
Select * from table T, mstvF1( 5 ), then it works.
Is there any way to do a select from a table T combined with an MSTV function and passing in as a parameter a field from T?
Thanks for any help.

Hello,
I have report A and Report B. In Report A I am using the Jump to Report functionality to go to Report B. I have a multi-valued parameter in botht the reports. So In Parmeters I am giving
Parameters!xx.value to pass the value from Report A to Report B. The multi valued parameter has values 1,2,3,4 in both the reports.
I have a scenario where I need to pass a value of 5 to the report B. When I try to hard code the value I run into error while going to the second reeport saying parameter not declared.
Can any one help me with this. Its very urgent.

I'm creating a Multi-statement Table-Valued Function...
Is it possible to insert variables into the table? In other words, is it possible
to have something like
declare
@value1 varchar(10)
@value2 varchar(10)
BEGIN
<do some work on value1 and value2>
INSERT @returningTable
@value1, @value2
instead of
BEGIN
<do some work on value1 and value2>
INSERT @returningTable
SELECT col1, col2 from T_SOURCE
Here's why I want to insert variables...My function needs to return a table which contains a 'partial' incremental key.
I'll go with an example to explain what i have to do
Source_table
col1 col2
Mike 10
Mike 20
Ben 50
John 15
John 25
John 35
The table that my function needs to create should look like this
col1 col2 col3
Mike 10 1
Mike 20 2
Ben 50 1
John 15 1
John 25 2
John 35 3
I thought of creating a cursor and then looping through it generate col3 and save values of other individual columns in variables. But don't know how to use those variables when inserting records into function table.
Any other ideas? I'm caoming from Oracle world, I might be having some strange ideas on how to solve this problem. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
Hey
I have created a multi-statement
table valued function
alter

fn_x(@x int)returns
@tbl table
(
position int identity primary key, i

as
begin
insert
into
@tbl values
(@x) insert
into
@tbl values
(@x) insert
into
@tbl values
(@x) insert

Is it possible skipping the
definition of the table columns (the light blue
part)?I need to return a different
structure based on a parameter.Dropping those lines throws an
error "incorrect syntax near 'as'"
The other solution is declaring
each udf separately as one statement udf.Thanks
I am currently working with 3 multi-valued parameters whose data sources are queries. The first 2 are required to have entries, 100% of the time, but the third one may or may not require selecting a value. Parm3's data source is filtered by the selections of Parm1 & Parm2. The data source for my report references Parm3 in a derived table that is then LEFT OUTER JOINed.
In the cases where the report does not require any selection from Parm3 I am still required to pick at least 1 entry. Can anyone shed some light on this, or provide a solution so I am not forced to pick any if I don't want?
Thanks in advance,
Michael
Can someone please explain how i would define a multi-valued default parameter within the report Properties -> Parameters. I have an OLAP based report with multi-value parameters. I do not want to set the default values from within BIDS. Instead, I'd like to do this from the ReportServer (after report deployment). I have no problem when i enter a single value as a 'default value', for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[AAM]
But, how would i define it with multiple values as a 'default value' ?, for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[ABC] , [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[DEF]
NOTE: It appears that you cannot use expressions, such as the 'split' function in the 'default value' space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
I am working with a dynamically populated multi value parameter drop down list. In the case where there is only one value in the list, the horizontal scroll bar (due to the length of the value) covers up the first, and in this case only choice. The users cannot see it. This problem is only when running in report manager. It works ok in Visual Studio.
As a work around, I can add a dummy row, which then at least the users can see one row of data and then scroll down but, I would rather not do that, if there is another solution. Another option would be to set the default on the parameter so it is automatically selected but, in the case where there are many values, I do not want a default set.
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
I downloaded the sample reports for report execution from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms161561.aspx
to display reporting services report execution data which worked fine until I'd written a report with multi-valued parameters. As soon as this was designed and more importantly run by an user the package used to create the reports crashed.
I've found out why it's breaking mainly through digging around in the script task where the package crashes and also through surfing the net and finding this
https://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=967081&SiteID=1
thread. I've tried their fix but it still crashes unfortunately.
It seems like the issue is populating an array indexes in the script component in the update parameters data flow task. I think this was written to deal with minimal parameter requests, however I've recently written a multi-valued parameter report and it's made the string containing the parameter details has now hit the maximum length for the string. Changing the WSTR 4000 to a different size doesn't seem to have an effect, and the forum entry above doesn't hint at what the problem is apart from the script not being able to deal with the length.
The error I now get is as follows:
at MyComponent1.ScriptMain.Input0_ProcessInputRow(Input0Buffer Row) in dts://Scripts/MyComponent1/ScriptMain:line 35

Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
Hi all,

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 .
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.
Thanks
