Can I create a result set filter on a SSRS Report similar to what you can do in Excel?

Asking this question in a different way...I have my SSRS Result set. Now the Business User wants to filter down a 15-page report to what they want to specifically see....Sooo my result set has a list of claims. And now the Business User just wants to see
the list of claims by a certain Provider, which is also in the report. So I don't want to put that "filter" on the front-end...within the Stored Procedure that is producing the report because they want to see everything. Is there a way to make SSRS
intelligent enough to parameterize the back-end result set? Or do I need to do it the old fashioned way by allowing for an optional parameter, let them run their report, define the available values by a query similar to the stored procedure filtering, and
let them drill down that way?
I have tried playing around with Dataset filters and a parameter using the existing result set and existing Dataset, but I just cannot seem to get this to work the way I envision. If this entails creating a Function or Procedure within the SSRS, bring it
on...I'm willing to learn. And I do have some VBA experience...so I'm not intimidated.
Again...I apologize for the similar type question, but I felt the need to be a little more clear.
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

I GOT IT!!!
Followed the following...
Here's what I've put into my SSRS Knowledgebase...
Filters/Parameters on the Report Result Set
Request from the Business User to add "parameters" to the Report Result Set. Kind of like auto filtering you can do in Excel
Within the Report Design within Microsoft Visual Studio…
— Insert a new Dataset which is merely carving out the SQL from the working Report Stored Procedure and customizing the SQL for the DISTINCT values that you want
— Insert a NEW Parameter based on the carved out SQL
General → Allow blank value
                  Allow multiple values
Available Values → Get values from a query
Specify the previously created Dataset
Default Values → Get values from a query
Specify the previously created Dataset
— Insert a Filter back on the original Dataset that is used to create the Report
Expression → Choose the Report Detail Item column name
Operator → In
Value → Physically type in the Parameter Name created previously
Works EXACTLY as I had envisioned. Prompts for the From Date and Thru Date, runs the report, dynamically builds the "optional" parameters/filters,
and then allows the Busimess User to speify or drill down into the result set based on the dynamically built parameter drop-down list.

  • Can I retrieve a result set from Oracle and then incorporate that result set into my main SQL Server Stored Procedure?

    So I have a chunk of data that only resides in Oracle. So I need to capture that information from Oracle. Now before you get over zealous, I did try with an OPENQUERY and it took FOREVER! And I don't know why the OPENQUERY took FOREVER but if I run the same

    Hi ITBobbyP,
    According to your description you want to use data from a Oracle data source into a DataSet which retrieving data from SQL Server. Right?
    In Reporting Services, we can have multiple data sources in one project pointing to different database. And we can use separated dataset to retrieve data from different data source. However, it's not supported to combine the two datasets together
    directly. We can only use Lookup(), LookupSet() function to combine fields from different dataset into one tablix when there are common columns between two datasets. This is the only way to make tow result sets together in SSRS.

    Lookup Function (Report Builder and SSRS)

    Practically Yes u can
    but u want be able to accesses it in other pages
    u can try it and see
    the other thing u can do is store the values from the resultset in a object say vector and put vector in seesion and u can use this any where
    for e.g
    Vector v=new Vector();
    While(rs.next())
    v.addElement(rs.getString(1));
    v.addElement(rs.getString(2));

  • I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    I can´t set the control panel iCloud. PC writes this: you can not connect because the server error occurred. What´s matters?

    Whenever I log into icloud.com
    Using what version of which browser?
    iCloud.com requires Safari 6 or later, Firefox 22 or later, or Google Chrome 28 or later. Have you tried all of those?
    If you have, have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?
    For the first tine since 1989 I'm thinking about buying a PC.
    You'd have exactly the same problems on an 8 year old PC too. It's a bit unreasonable to expect such an old Mac to continue to be compatible as software is constantly updated.
    Saying that, I'm still able to access iCloud.com successfully in Safari v5.0.6 on a PowerPC Mac running Mac OS X 10.5.8, so the problem you're having is likely to be a browser issue, not something inherently wrong with the computer.
    Since all this crap started, Mail won't download my Mac.com or me.com email.
    The iCloud.com website is totally unconnected to Mail's ability to download email via IMAP. Have you checked the mail server settings are correctly setup and up-to-date?

  • How to set page setup in ssrs report level

    Hi All,
    Can any one suggest pls.
    I have a SSRS report which has 50 column data.
    When i am exporting it to PDF its giving me 20 pages.How can i make it in 2-3 page max.
    Please suggest and also when i am exporting to excel it looks fine but when printing it its giving me two page.How can it fit to 1 page in excel
    pls help.

    Hi i_pr,
    In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), it is designed to use 2 different rules in pagination: Physical pagination and Logical pagination. Physical pagination is used to the print control and the TIFF and PDF rendering extensions. It is controlled by the
    PageSize properties.
    If we want to use 2-3 pages to display these data, we can modify the PageSize to work around the issue. However, if we print the report, it maybe truncated. Because the limit of print paper. Did you get the extra blank page when you export report to PDF?
    If so, please refer to the following thread to reduce the pages.
    http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chrisbal/archive/2006/08/10/694892.aspx
    In SSRS, if we have no page break in the report, we will get these data in one page when we export the report to Excel. The print layout is relate to paper size. Alternatively, we can adjust the report in Excel to work around the issue.

  • SCRIPTER PLUG-IN ; looks like you cannot do more that what you can do with the environment !

    Hello
    I am very interested of this possibility to develop the equivalent of the Cubase VST expression Map to drive VSL articulation changes
    I have read that the score have been re-wrote ! is this true ?
    Reading the manual I did not find that it was possible to convert score events (staccato, legato ...) into a midi command to be send to VSL
    Also you cannot work on note length.
    Looks like you cannot do more that what you can do with the environment !
    I hope I am wrong and that this is missing in the manual

  • X-Fi "What you can hear" doesn't wor

    Hi,
    I installed the latest driver for the X-Fi on
    Windows Vista Ultimate x64.
    I want to use the "What you can hear" option, but this doesn't work!!!
    When I go under the Sounds Option of Windows Vista, I can check "What you can hear" as the default device, but it says "Not available". Only the mic device under Recording is "In use", so it works, but not that "What can you hear".
    What can I do? I get crazy by trying to get this work. I bought this X-Fi Card, because my old 5. Li've doesn't any new drivers for Vista, and this X-Fi isn't working as well as it is supposed.
    Is this currently not supported? Will there be an driver update soon that fix this issue?Message Edited by Rocko on 05-23-20072: PM

    Thanks for your answer.
    I already tried that, and it didn't work.
    Now I got the answer:
    As long as one device is in use, you can't switch between microphone and "what you hear" and else...
    As Long as one program uses the microphone, as example. A hint for other users..

  • FAQ: Are there rules for what you can access or target with interactions?

    Here are rules for what you can access/target for interactions:
    1. You can always target any page/state of your main application
    2. You can target the current component (the one you are editing in Edit-In-Place)
    3. You can target any component instances in the current component. If your current component contains 2 custom components, then you can target either.
    Keep in mind, transitions in Catalyst can only exist between different states of the same component.

  • Problem in creating Saved Result Set (SRS) in OBIEE 10.1.3.4

    Hi,
    We have migrated Siebel Analytincs 7.8.5 to OBIEE 10.1.3.4, and we are now unable to create any SRS from OBIEE though we can create Segment and marketing cache for the segment.
    We did the following steps -
    1. Unisntall Siebel Analytincs 7.8.5
    2. Install OBIEE 10.1.3.4
    3. Use MIGRATE tool (sawmigrate) to migrate RPD & WEBCAT
    4. We have ALTERed the SRS tables - M_SR_HEADER, M_SR_ACCOUNT (as in OBIEE version there are many new columns have been added)
    5. We passed GLOBAL CONSISTENCY in the RPD
    6. We followed the steps in the document *"Oracle®Marketing Segmentation Guide Version 10.1.3.4 July 2008"*
    7. We created a Saved Result Set Format as instructed in the document - here we are very confused to select the list of columns - we don't know what should be the excat source / format
    8. Then we click the SRS create button
    9. We got the below error -
    Error Codes: QS2QOLYY:GDL67CY9:IHVF6OM7:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC
    Error in getting cursor for WorkNode (Id:0)

    Hi,
    It seems like you didnt setup the Administrator user for Saved Result Sets as it mentioned in the Marketing Segmentation Guide.
    Here is an extract from the guide:
    Setting Up the Web Administrator for Managing Cache and Saved Result Sets
    Some queries issued by the segmentation engine require the use of the Execute Physical stored
    procedure. These queries include delete statements on the cache, delete statements on the saved
    result sets, and insert statements for the cache and saved result set. The Execute Physical stored
    procedure must be run by a user with administrator privileges. The administrator user is set up in
    the instanceconfig.xml file.
    NOTE: The BI Administrator password and login parameters are case sensitive.
    To set up the administrative user in the instanceconfig.xml file
    1 Open a command shell and navigate to the <OracleBI>/web/bin, where <OracleBI> represents
    the root directory of the installation.
    2 Execute the following command:
    cryptotools credstore -add -infile <OracleBIData>/web/config/credentialstore.xml
    3 When prompted, enter the following values:
    Credential Alias: admin
    Username: Administrator
    Password: <enter Admin password here>
    Do you want to encrypt the password? y
    Passphrase for encryption: <password >
    Do you want to write the passphrase to the xml? n
    File "<OracleBIData>/web/config/credentialstore.xml" exists. Do you want to overwrite it? y
    4 Open the credentialstore.xml file and verify that the following section has been created:
    <sawcs:credential type="usernamePassword" alias=“admin">
    <sawcs:username> Administrator </sawcs:username>
    <sawcs:password>
    <xenc:EncryptedData>

  • Can we pass temporary result set to the  procedure?

    Hi,
    The result set is stored in a temporary storage. Can we pass that resultset to the procedure?
    Thanks and regards
    Gowtham Sen.

    I'm still unclear just what this result set is... Is is a table or a cursor or something else?
    If you imply the physical result set of a SQL query, there is no such thing in Oracle. Oracle does not create and store a result set in memory containing the rows of the SQL SELECT. Creating such sets in memory does not scale. A single SELECT on such a database can kill the performance of the entire database by exhasuting all memory with a single large physical result set.
    Oracle "results" live in the database cache (residing in the SGA). Rows (as data blocks) are paged into and out of this case as demand dictates. When PL/SQL code, for example, fetches a row, the SQL engine grabs the row from the db cache (SGA) and copies it to the PGA (the private memory area of the PL/SQL process). The row also may not yet exist in the db cache - in which case it needs a physical read from disk to get the data block containing that row into the db cache (after which it is copied to the PGA).
    A PL/SQL process can do a bulk fetch - e.g. fetch a 100 rows from the SQL query/cursor at a time. In that case, a 100 rows are copied from the SGA db cache to the PGA.
    At no time is there are single large unique and dedicated memory struct in the SGA that contains the complete "result set" of a SQL query.
    Once you have fetched that row, that is it. Deal is done. You cannot reverse the cursor and fetch the row again. After you have fetched the last row in that cursor, you cannot pass that cursor to another process - the cursor is now empty. That other process cannot rewind the cursor and start fetching from the 1st row again. You will need to pass the SQL to that process in order for it to create its own cursor - also keeping in mind that in between the rows can have changed and that this other process could now see different results with its cursor.
    If you want to create such a physical temporary result set that is consistent and re-usable, you can use a temporary table - and insert the results of the SELECT into this temp table for further processing. This temp table is session specific and is auto destroyed when the session terminates.
    A comment though - it sounds like you're approaching the date warehouse processing (scrubbing, transformation and loading of data) as a row-by-row process.
    That is a flawed approach. Row-by-row processing does not scale. One should deal with data sets. Especially when the volumes are large. One should also attempt to perform minimal passes through a data set. Processing a bunch of rows, then passing that rows to another process to do some processing on the same rows.. this means multiple passes through the same data. That is very inefficient performance and resource wise.
