RsReportParameterTypeMismatch - When Passing DateTime Parameter To Drill Through Report
Jul 13, 2007
All,
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 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?
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
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.
I have two reports 'Product Details' and 'Sales by Product'
When i click on 'Product ID' field in 'Product Details' report, It has to drill through to 'Sales by Product' which has a parameter 'Product ID' in it.Â
I have created a menu report listing available reports and am setting the Jump to settings of each text box in the list to take the user to the relevent report. But I am having a problem setting up drill down to reports with multivalued parameters.
What I want to happen when the user drills down is for the report to open up with no parameter values selected. This works for single value parameters where I have set Null as the default value. But I have not been able to figure out how to do this with MVPs. Does anybody know if this is possible?
As a workaround I have been using Jump to URL (rather than Jump to report), which has no problem opening the report without having to pass any values for the MPV. But I do not like using this as I use different DEV/UAT and PROD environments so would have to amend the URL for each environment.
Seems like this should be possible... Any idea?
Cheers, Mike
PS: I should add I can Jump to reports with MVP without specifying a parameter in development studio but not when the report is published.
I am passing a field value from main report to a parameter in a drill through sub report. But some field values contain 'special characters'. Those field values that contain special characters are not working for drill through. Javascript code to include special characters to pass to sub report parameter?
I have a main report that drills-through to a secondary report. The main report has parameters which can be selected (Dairy, Frozen, Fruits, etc.). If I make a selection (let's say Fruits) the second report displays just Fruits information (as would be expected).
However, when I select 'All' from the parameter, on the Main report, and then click to drill-through, the passed parameter is the first selection below 'All.' I cannot seem to pass 'All' to the second report.
What am I doing wrong?
Thank you for the help.

p.s. The datasets are based on an Analysis Services cube.
I'm developig an ASP.NET application and I'm trying to pass a datetime parameter into my stored procedure. The procedure is very simple "SET @sqlMessage = @parameterPassed" I have the @sqlMessage setup as out OUTPUT parameter and I'm trying to see what I get. So far no go. The datetime value is of type string, and it was retrived from a datetime column in an SQL database. Any ideas. Thanks.
I am experiencing some issue with drill through report parameter not getting selected some times.I have two reports parent and child. Both reports have total ten parameters and all are cascading parameters with multiple selection. The report, when drill through to child, first eight parameters selected as it in the parent report.But the ninth parameter not get selected with the default value which from parent report and the parameter populated with values.
The first two parameter type is  date time and rest of them are text and all text type parameters available and default values are populated by query (Data set) only.
I have managed to pass a string parameter form the main report to the subreport with no problems, but when i try and use the same method to pass a datetime type, i am issued with the following error messase:
"[rsErrorExecutingSubreport] An error occurred while executing the subreport €˜SubReportName€™: The value provided for the report parameter 'MasterDate' is not valid for its type."
I cant see why it work for strings, but not for datetime. Any suggestions will be very much appreciated
I'm attempting to pass a datetime variable to a stored proc (called via sql task). The variables are set in a previous task where they act as OUTPUT paramters from a stored proc. The variables are set correctly after that task executes. The data type for those parameters is set to DBTIMESTAMP.
When I try to exectue a similar task passing those variables as parameters, I get an error:
Error: 0xC002F210 at ax_settle, Execute SQL Task: Executing the query "exec ? = dbo.ax_settle_2 ?, ?,?,3,1" failed with the following error: "Invalid character value for cast specification". Possible failure reasons: Problems with the query, "ResultSet" property not set correctly, parameters not set correctly, or connection not established correctly.
If I replace the 2nd and 3rd parameters with quoted strings, it is successful: exec ?= dbo.ax_settle ?, '3/29/06', '4/30/06',3,1
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.
Hi, I have a date field in my report which takes the current date as the value. My default regional settings is en-US. If I change my regional settings to Germany, on executing the report, I get rsReportParameterTypeMismatch for the Date parameter. Any help in this regard is welcome. Thanks.
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?
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
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?
 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 drop down Date Range(Last Month,Current Month and Custom).. We need to set the values in our From Date Report Filter and To Date Report Filter. We gave the Date Parameter Value in Condition to the Date Range Selected Value. But the value always remain as on First Load of Report.
Is there any way i can set values in datetime text box.. .
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 have a .net 2.0 web form with a report viewer control (RS 2005) and have hard coded the report server and path. The report has two date time parameters that have a default value set up. When the user clicks the calendar icon to change the date range, the page refreshes without displaying the calendar... I don't remeber having this problem in the past. The parameters function fine in Report Manager. Any idea what could be causing this?
I have a report parameter StartDateTime. I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDateTime parameter is empty and its been locked. I am not even able to set it to different value in preview.
Can anyone help me how to set the datetime parameter to default value(Now).
Issue 2:
I have a stored procedure which takes StartDateTime parameter. Whenever the report refreshes using autorefresh interval, the startdatetime should default to Now. Right now the startdatetime defaults to whatever the value is there before i hit view report. how to do that using stored procedure.
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"
In my report I have two date parameters, both are of type DateTime. The problem is that when the report is called for the first time the report parameter value is not shown in the expected format (de-DE, 01.01.2007) but in en-US 01/01/2007 Only when I change a Date using the calendar popup and click on the "show report" button, the right format will be taken over.
Language properties of the report are"=User!Language" IE language is de-DE. Report Server is a MS Windows Server 2003 R2 Standart Edition SP2 with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP2
P.S. on a server with MS SQL SERVER 2005 SP1, this report works fine. may be this bug is a new feature of SP2?
