Report Builder And Optional Parameters
Nov 30, 2006Hi,
Is it possible to create optional parameters in Report Builder?
An *ordinary* parameter is created by marking a filter expression as "prompted". At run-time, the user will be asked to provide a value for this parameter (or accept a default value if it is available). This works fine. What I want is to let the user choose whether to provide a value, or leave the parameter empty. In latter case, the reports should not take the parameter into account and display all available data.
Example: I have a list of products grouped by the name of the supplier. I want users to be able to see the entire list, or narrow it down to one supplier only. So I create a free text parameter that will contain a part of the supplier's name. It works ok, but if parameter is left blank, or set to NULL, the report will display no data (all products always have their suppliers).
I tried to create a filter formula to check for empty value and bypass the filter if necessary, but the formula only allows me to use the parameter expression once. So I cannot check for empty value and apply the filter in the same expression.
As a last resort, I used the following workaround: created a new formula named "Enter 'ALL' to see all suppliers" that would return text constant "ALL". I then added another prompted filter expression for this field and grouped it with my supplier prompt using "Any of" group. User is now able to choose a supplier, or enter "ALL" to the second prompt field. This clumsy approach actually works, but then another problem emerges - although I mark both filter fields as Prompted, the Report Builder will forget this flag for one of the fields when the report is reopened. I think it could be a bug (we use SQL2005 SP1)
Anyway, it'd be nice if I could create an optional parameter as one expression, not two. Is there any way to do that?
TIA

Reporting Services :: Date Range Filter Based On Date Values Returned In Report?
Aug 27, 2015I have a QA Deployment Date field that is being returned in a custom report I created. I also found a sample date range parameter:
What I want to accomplish:
I want to select a From and To Date and filter the report to only display the rows that have the QA Deployment Date within the selected range.
For example.. I want to select From Date (8/1/2105) and To Date (8/31/2015) and I only want to return only the results that have a QA Deployment date between that selected range.
Report Builder: Date Filter, Relative Date
Dec 14, 2006I have a date filter, and I default it to first day this month and last day this month under relative date, when I run it it givis me error:
The Value expression for the report parameter €˜FromDate€™ contains an error: [BC30456] 'Date' is not a member of 'Integer'. (rsCompilerErrorInExpression)
Can anyone fix this problem?
But it works for Today or (n)months ago.
Thanks.
Datetime Parameters In Report Builder Interchanges Days And Months :@
Mar 14, 2007Community:
This is my scenario: a Cube in SSAS, dimension time with an attribute "cdate" defined as datetime, model deployed using "Generate Model" option of Report Server.
Querying in Report Builder: only _date attribute of time dimension is selected. Filter use _date fields , from ...to option is selected, from the calendar I select from 1 january 2007 to 10 january 2007, results a list of dates between 1 january 2007 to 1 October 2007!!!
When I select from 1 january 2007 to 15 january 2007 the list is correct!!!
Clearly it interchange days and months in first case, and do it right in second case.
What is it about? it's about Report Server settings? SQL Server settings? .Net Settings? Windows Settings?
What do I have to do ?

NUL L Date Values In Report Builder Display As...

Report Builder: How To Access Last Inactive Date
Apr 7, 2008A Contractor has a list of Contracting Companies that he has worked for in his history.
For each row in the "Contracting Company" table, there is an Active Date and an Inactive Date. Each Contracting Company cannot have overlapping dates.
The last row in the table for that Contractor may have a null Inactive Date. That just means that he doesn't know when his contract will end.
In Report Builder, I can access the "Last Active Date", because there is a pre-built formula for "Last Active Date". However, whenever I access the prebuilt formula "Last Inactive Date" - I get the inactive date for the second-last row, because the last row has a null value for the Inactive Date! I want to get the Inactive Date for the last row - not the second last row!
How to do this easily? Thanks!

Problem With Date Filters In SQL 2005 Report Builder
Jul 6, 2007Hi,
I'm having a hard time getting date filters to work properly in Report Builder 2005. One of my model entites contains a datetime field called Date Opened, which corresponds to a datetime field in my database table. This is how the data looks like: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM.
1. I created an ad-hoc report and added a filter on Date Opened field, setting condition to PROMPT where Date Opened EQUALS some value. Next to EQUALS I get a dropdown list with the following values: 6/27/2007 11:31:52 AM, 6/27/2007 11:33:33 AM, 7/3/2007 9:24:07 AM. It looks like this list was generated by pulling all Date Opened values (including a time stamp) from the database. The problem comes up when I run this report and Date Opened filter limits me to choosing exact date time, when I want to see all rows for the specific date (the entire day). Is there any way to make EQUALS list not include the time stamps and show only dates, or give me a calendar control instead so I can choose the date (no time) to filter on? I noticed that if database had no existing values for Date Opened, the Equals list lets me choose a date with a calendar. I need to accomplish the same even if there are some values in the database.
2. The same setup as above. This time I choose to see all rows where Date Opened is AFTER specific date and set it to PROMPT the user. If I actually choose a default value on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it behaves as expected giving me all rows AFTER the date I specified. If I leave default value unspecified, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows on the date I specified and AFTER. In other words, it behaves like ON or AFTER. Is this a bug?
3. Same as scenario #2 above just using On or BEFORE. If I leave the default value unspecified on Filter Date dialog, run the report having picked some new value in a filter, it returns all rows before the date I specified, behaving like BEFORE rather than On or BEFORE. Is this a bug?
Any help is greately appreciated. I know we'll be getting customer calls about these issues.

Date Range For Report Built Against A Cube Using MDX Query
Aug 2, 2007Hi,
I am trying to filter data within my report by a date range (FromDate - ToDate), which is using a cube as a datasource.
My Issue:
I have the filtering working ok but if i select a date which is outside the range of the data within my cube for example if i select the starting date for the range as 1/Jan/1965 but by data starts from 15/Jan/1965 then no data is returned.
Within the MDX query within the STRTOSET function i am using 'constrained' which is around the date parameter i.e. StartDate for Range.
My question is has anyone or is it possible to use date values outside of the range of the data within my cube and get a correct dataset returned. If so could you please explain how with an example.
Many Thanks

How To Use The Custom Code (getting Start And End Dates Of Every Month In Date Range) In The Report ?
Mar 29, 2007Hi all,
I am trying to use the custom code in the report but I don't think I am understanding how this is being used.
I have a function to get starting months for a report parameter.
The function is below:-
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shared Function GetStartingMonths() as String
dim strDefault as string
dim CurrentMonth as String
Dim SqlString as String
'strDefault = Month(Now) & "/1/" & Year(Now)
CurrentMonth = "5/1/2002"
Do While CDate(CurrentMonth) <= Now
SqlString = SqlString + "Select " & CurrentMonth & " as value, " & MonthName(Month(CurrentMonth)) & " " & Year(CurrentMonth) & " as MonthYear"
CurrentMonth = dateadd("m",1,CDate(CurrentMonth))
if Cdate(CurrentMonth) = Now then
Exit Do
else
sqlString = SqlString & " Union "
end if
Loop
return SqlString
End Function
---------------------------------------------------------------
what i am trying to do here, and hopefully produce a sql string that would fill my dataset of dates and their representation.
In the dataset, I had put the following expression
=Code.GetStartingMonths()
However, I can't seem to get the parameter to display the dates. shows up as disabled in my report.
Am I doing something wrong here or is there a better way to doing this ?
Additionally, I was wondering whether there is a better SQL code that would achieve the same thing I am doing ?
thanks !

Preview Report Tab Is Prompting For An Input Parameter That Does Not Exist For The Dataset
Apr 11, 2008
I created a dataset based on a stored procedure. There are nine input parameters. When I click on the preview tab, it is asking me for ten input parameters.
I double checked my dataset on the data tab, and it only shows the expected nine parameters when I look at the parameters tab. I can also run the query without issue from the data tab.
I have no idea why it is asking for an extra parameter on the preview tab. It is a column name that does exist in my database, but is in no way used in the stored procedure in question.
Has anyone else run into a similar situation?

I deploy the report - If I run it from the report manager virtual directory the date picker performs as above i.e correctly.

View 6 Replies View RelatedDrill Through Report -- Passing Date Parameters -- Resulting In RsReportParameterTypeMismatch
Jul 4, 2007All,
I have two reports. One is the main/summary report and other one is drill through. When I pass the Start and End Date parameters from main to the drill, the original format of DateTime changes. For example, in main report the data is displayed for following date range:
4/7/2007 - 5/9/2007 (i.e 4 July 2007 to 5 Sept 2007)
which displays correct data.
However, when I click on the drill through link, it jumps to the drill through report but displays data for the following period:
7/4/2007 - 9/5/2007 (i.e. 7 Apr 2007 to 9 May 2007)
The reporting services is converting the value from one format to another of the report parameters when passing them from parent report to the drill through. When run individually, these two reports display data for correct date range. And you can imagine, the child report crashes with rsReportParameterTypeMismatch error if the start or end date had a day part greater than 12 (e.g 25/4/2007).
I can't understand what could be going wrong. All the parameters in both reports are datetime, so intrisically, it shouldn't matter even if the reporting services is converting or using different date formats as long as the data type remains the same. Is there a way to fix this and force the parameters to stay in the format they are provided in the main report?
Your help is much appreciated.
Thanks.
