Passing A Parameter To The Filename In A Report Subscription
Jan 18, 2007
I have defined a monthly substription for a series of reports. I would like to be able to pass a paremter used in generating the report to the file name define in the subscription.
I can do it if I used system names such as @datetime, but I want to be able to use a parameter unique to the report.
For example if the parameter for the report was CARS and I was quesrying Toyotas how can I get toyoats to show up in the file name?
I've developed a data driven subscription report. I have a paramete (named "Data") that is a result of my query to the current date. It is working fine.
Now I would like to make one change: In the step4 of the creation of the data-driven report we have the option to give a name to the filename.The name that I gave was TestFile. In this option i'm also able to select the parameter instead of giving the name to the filename. Can I make something like TestFile_ & @Data? Wich would result in TestFile_01-02-2007? Or the only way is to make, in the query of the paramenter another field with this result?
My company sends reports on a daily basis to our customers. Now I want to save all the sent reports on disc with the date in the filename. I have set up a subscription which daily saves the files where I want them. However, I haven't found a way to add the date easily. I already have a parameter when creating the report, it is called Date. Does anybody know if I can use a parameter or something else?
I have a data-driven subscription (DDS) stored procedure that gets called when a subscription fires and returns parameters to a report. One of the parameter values I want to return is NULL, which also happens to be the default value of the corresponding report parameter.
When I set the report parameter to use the default value (NULL) when setting up the subscription in Report Manager, the subscription works fine. When I try to pass the NULL value from the DDS proc to the report, the subscription fails.
I do not know what the error logs say. I've rarely looked at them and what I have seen seems a bit cryptic. I've narrowed down through trial-and-error that passing the NULL value is the issue.
Has anyone else experienced this issue and do you have a resolution?
I have a fairly complex report that was given to me that was hard coded for single parameters. There is a dropdown for each market (created from a query in SSRS). The users have to run for each market each week.
Is there a way to use this report as a Sub-report inside a list of a master report and then use a mult-value parameter?
I want this multi-value parameter to build the values for the list and then run the "sub-report" for each value.
When I click the link I am taken to the report but it is waiting for me to enter a parameter. I can see the parameter in the url address and it looks correct. I also tried Parameter!Cust.value (which has the same value as Fields!Cust.Value) but get the same result.
The target report has the correct name parameter: Cust. In any case, when I use "Jump to report" instead, it works correctly - although I don't see the parameter value in the url.
Hi all. Is it possible to pass parameter FROM Report to my windows application(C#) ? Report is made in Business Intelligence Project. I just want to retrieve the total row number to my windows appication. Is it possible? If yes, Can you provide codes for this? Thanks. Your help would be highly appreciated.
I am trying to create a drill-down report by passing the Customer ID number to the drill report. The 'parent' report is a tabular report, as is the 'child.' As long as I used the numeric Customer ID, the child report returned no rows from the passed parameter. However, when I use the Customer Name instead, the child report functions correctly.
Here is the parameter as passed using the Customer ID: [Customer Hierarchy].[Customer ID].&[70011231]
Can anyone shed some light on why this wouldn't work?
I have a string report parameter called @name. In my script, i have and a.name like '%@name%' but it returns no rows. I tried removing the '% but still doesn't work. What is the correct way to script this?
I have a question regarding the report file which is included in an email, when a subscription is created:
Is it possible to programmatically add something to the name of the created file of the subscription? I want to have one parameter of the report, which is a date, added at the end of the filename to let the clients distinguish between different report files.
Hi, I have found this question asked many times online, but the answers always consisted of getting a parameter from the user and to the report. That is NOT what everyone was asking. I would like to know how to pass a parameter I already have into my stored procedure. Using Visual Studio 2005, in the "Data" tab of a report calling something likeUnique_Login_IPsreturns correctly when that stored proc takes no params, but when I have one that takes the year, for example, I do not know how to pass this info in. Note: the following does not work in this context : EXEC Unique_Login_IPs ParameterValue nor does EXEC Some_proc_without_paramsVisual studio seems to want only the procedure name because it returns errors that say a procedure with the name "the entire line above like EXEC Unique_Login_IPs ParameterValue" does not exist.... Thanks in advance,Dustin L
Could any body tell me as to how I would be able to pass report grouping in drill through report.
Please review the diagram below to better understand my problem
Report 1 (Summary) Columns1 Column 2
Row-1:Grouped by attribute X Calculation based of dates Calculation based of dates Row-2: Grouped by attribute Y Calculation based of dates Calculation based of dates
The Drill thru option should be present in all of the columns; so that, when any of the numbers in the column are clicked it should drill through to another report which should show all the records pertaining to all the values in X1
Report 2 (Details) Report 3 ((Details) X1 Y1 X2 Y2 X3 - X4 - X5 - - Yn - - - Xn What I did so far was to pass the report parmeter in report 1 as "Fields! attribute X ,Value" and same for Y The problem with is that only the first value of the group that satisfies condition gets passed on to the detail reports. Kindly let me know were I am going wrong and what should I be doing. Awaiting your opinions Thanks and Regards GM
Lob parameter is in the same dataset , But Year parameter is from different Dataset(Year_Param_DS).But If I am passing second parameter (Year) like Sum(Fields!Year_list.Value, "Year_Param_DS") i am not able to open the popup.
If i am removing the sum word Main report is giving an error that "Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope."e syntax (I am working using MDX query) to pass two parameter through url, one from same dataset and 2nd is from another dataset.Or it is not possible to pass the value field from other Dataset in URL (Go to URL option).
I have a Report that I want to access that has a parameter input for the date, Production_Date. I want to allow the user to use the DateTimePicker to select the date to use for Production_Date. I can't seem to find the correct way to format what I'm tring to do. My production date field is in a format without punctuation so that it becomes:
which gives me a value that I want to send as a parameter for the Reporting Services report that I have located on a tab in my project. The report is:
Me.ReportViewer1
I want to send the ProductionDate to the report where the report looks for Production_Date. Obviously, I 'm very new to this. I'd appreciate any suggestions. As it runs now, the default date is loaded (today's date) from the expression I calculated in Reporting services:
=(Now.Month*1000000)+(Now.Day*10000)+Now.Year
This is a big roadblock right now and I can't seem to put together a legal means to pass this value. Thanks for any help.
I have two reports in my project. One is summary and the other is drill through. In Summary report I have StartDate and EndDate Parameters which are DateTime type. Language settings on my workstation are set to Canadian English, and so are in the IE. When I deploy the reports to the Sharepoint WebParts based reporting portal, the reports run fine individually. However, when I try to drill through from summary report to the detail report, the following error is displayed, where the StartDate is 13/07/2007 (Canadian format dd/MM/yyyy):
The value provided for the report parameter 'StartDate' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch)
Why do the reports run fine individually? Obviously something is wrong with Report Server processing the parameters, that it converts the date format to US English only when passing parameters to drill through report. This problem is eliminated when I change the language settings to US-English on my workstation.
Any ideas how can this be fixed, if at all? It would certainly be not feasible to have all the users change their settings from Canadian to US-English.
I can pass a parameter from an Access Query to an Access Report (MDB) by entering [Select Date] in the Query criteria and by placing an unbound control with a control source =[Select Date] on the report. I can't get this to work from a SQL Function Criteria to an unbound control on the Access Data Project Report. In the Function Criteria, I enter @SelectDate. In the Report control, I enter @SelectDate and it gives me an 'Invalide Column Name' error. Any idea how I can pass a parameter from a SQL Function to an ADP report?
THANKS!
p.s. I tried searching for other postings on this without any luck.
I tried to pass parameter from one report to another report. I can send the parameter using following option: I used jump to url option and write the following expression:
I am passing the partameters to MS Report Viewer control to view the report. It is working fine with normal parameters like 'abc', 'Jon' etc. But fails with parameters having special characters like 'abc+', 'Version 1.1 Part 1', 'R1.8 RC' throws error " The parameter is missing a value"
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 chart
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 .
in the Report Manager you can choose the export format (e.g. Excel) and export the report to a file. Per default the filename of the export is the name of the rdl-file.
How can I configure the export -filename? I need the choosen report paramenter values included in the filename.
Example:
Imagine a Costcenter-Report with 3 parameters: Costcenter, Year, Month
The export filename should look like this: CostcenterReport_CC123_200603.xls
Using SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0..I have an action set in a text box of a table. My intent is to pass the value of that text box (which is variable) to a sub-report in a popup window. Here's my code: URL....The parameter of the report I'm trying to open is @SONum.I'm guessing my error is involved in the formatting of how the value of the parameter is being passed. I've also seen examples where the report server and report values were parameterized, but I don't know where to define
Parameters!ServerAddress.Value anywhere.Do I need to have something set up a certain way within the report I'm opening? Here's the report Parameter settings on the report I'm trying to open.
I've been asked to set up a data driven subscription for a number of reports which use multi value parameters. For example, show me all transactions against the following departments: IT, Building Services, Accounts.
As an interactive report it's simple, the user just selects the relevant departments, but as a data driven subscription I can't seem to find the correct format to pass the selections through.
I m trying to deploy reports using rs.exe & rss script. I would like to provide custom Report Name for each report I am deploying (not same as report rdl filename) for more meaningful listing under Report Manager. Is there a way to implement the same?
I have created couple report through report builder which using AS cube as the data source. Every time when I try to access the New Subscription from the web UI. It complains about "Subscriptions cannot be created because the cedentals used to run the report are not stored, or if a linked report, the link is no longer valid.".
So I went into "Properties" -> "Data Source" and use the custom data source. I've selected "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" and put in the following Data Source=SQLTEST;Initial Catalog="Data Warehouse AS". I've select "Crednetials stored securely in the report server", using my Windows login and password.. and I've got the following error.
" An error has occurred during report processing.
Query execution failed for data set 'dataSet'.
The SemanticQuery element at line 7, column 351 (namespace http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/2004/10/semanticmodeling) cannot appear under Envelope/Body/Execute/Command. "
I'm trying to set up a data-driven subscription and having problems with parameters. On the Report Parameter Values screen of the Create Data-Driven Subscription function I have set a parameter TimesheetPeriodEnd to "Specify a static value" and checked the NULL box. In the report the parameter is type string and allows nulls. When I try to run the subscription the reports are not sent and the error log contains the following message:
ReportingServicesService!library!f!10/05/2007-09:31:08:: Status: Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'TimesheetPeriodEnd' is not a valid value. ReportingServicesService!notification!f!10/05/2007-09:31:08:: Notification 0ae544df-4b1b-4a46-b7ab-cdefdca201be completed. Success: False, Status: Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'TimesheetPeriodEnd' is not a valid value., DeliveryExtension: Report Server Email, Report: Timesheet, Attempt 0
I am also setting other parameters for this subscription in the same way and not getting errors.
Any ideas? Previously I have had problems passing null values to parameters from the subscription query "Get value from database" from SELECT NULL AS ParameterName (this function just doesn't seem to work in SSRS). But I'm surprised I can't even seem to get this working with the default settings.
