    Hi
    You can create an SQL command in Database Expert > Expand your datasource > Add command
    Then enter the SQL query that will create the list of values to supply to the user
    eg select field1,field2 from table
    Then edit the parameter of the report.  These will be the SP parameters adn can be seen in field explorer.
    Change the parameter type to Dynamic
    Under the word Value click on Click here to add item
    Scroll down to your Command and select one of the values that you want to appear in the list
    e.g field1
    Then click on the Parameters field - this is essential to create the param
    You can edit other options as required
    That should do it for you.
    I must say that i use CR 2008 connected to Oracle 10g SP, but i reckon this will work for SQL DB and CR XI as well
    Best of luck

  • How to use advanced tab in user reports?

    Hi,
    How to use "advanced" tab in user reports?
    I have two reports. I fill "Report ID" in both and then I can push "Add Report" and fill fields property.
    Then I'm can "drill" from one report to another on right click, but how to pass parameters?
    Is it even possible?
    Regard
    Libor

    Thank you for reply.
    I can't get it working.
    I have two reports:
    1. report:
    Name: test
    SQL: select 1 NUM, 'text' TEXT from dual;
    On advanced tab:
    ReportID: -null-
    Name: test2
    Report: Test2
    2. report
    Name: test2
    SQL: select :NUM from dual;
    Now, when I run the first report and click do right click on a row and select TEST2
    from popup menu, it navigates to the second report test2, but WITHOUT actual value
    from NUM column from first report.
    I'm using latest version of SQL Developer (1.1.1.25) and I like reports.
    With this feature it would be even better.

  • How to use views in sql script report?

    All all
    Can any one tell how to use views in sql script report?

    Most of the views are based on tables (or other views which are based on tables).
    The view typically shows one org at a time based on the context that is set.
    If you need records for all orgs, you need to use the underlying tables. Oracle typically names the tables with a _all suffix.
    e.g. PO_HEADERS will show records for one org at a time. PO_HEADERS_ALL will show records for all orgs.
    Hope this answers your question,

  • How to use lexical parameter in report

    i want to use lexical parameter in report and pass parameter from form how it is possible in detail
    A.R

    Hi,
    typically you fill your lexical paramter in the after-paramform-trigger out of the values of your bind-parameters (giving end users directly control over lexical parameters might not be a good idea). Inside PL/SQL a lexical parameter is referenced like bind parameters with ":". In the query it's referenced via "&" and represents a part of the query.
    A simple example.
    - p_deptno as bind parameter
    - p_where as lexical paramter
    - end user choose value for p_deptno (10,20,... or nothing)
    - Trigger: if :p_deptno is not null then
    :p_where := 'WHERE deptno = :p_deptno'
    else
    :p_where := null;
    end if;
    - Query select ... from emp &p_where

  • How to use a parameter field value as a substring in a "like" statement?

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to use a parameter field in a Record selection formula where the parameter field value would be a substring of the data stored in the field.
    My parameter field (SlctResearcher) is constructed as follows:
    Type: string
    List of Values: static
    Value Field: (Reports) RptAuthors
    (in Value Options) Allow custom values?: True
    {Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
    {Reports.RptAuthors} like "*{?SlctResearcher}*"
    When I hit F5 to generate the data, I get no results (and the parameter prompt field does not even come up...)
    If I modify the formula to put a hard-coded string, like
    "*Jones*"
    after the 'like', I get results (all the reports where "Jones" is a substring in the RptAuthors string.) If I modify the formula to just use the parameter field without the quotes/stars like:
    {Reports.PubDate} in DateTime (2009, 04, 01, 00, 00, 00) to DateTime (2010, 03, 31, 23, 59, 59) and
    {Reports.RptAuthors} like {?SlctResearcher}
    I do get the parameter prompt field, but still no results even if I put in a valid substring value (since it is not searching for a substring anymore...)
    How can I do this?
    Thanks,

    1st thing... Make a copy of your report before doing anything!!!
    To use a SQL Command, you'll want to open the Database Expert and look at the Current Connections. Expand the data source and the 1st option you see is the Add Command option.
    To find the SQL That CR is currently using, choose Database from the menu bar and select Show SQL Query...
    You can copy this and paste it directly into the command window. (If you you can write your own SQL you don't need copy CR's, it's just an option.)
    You'll also want to take not of any parameters that you have, you'll need to add them the the Parameter List of the command as well... be sure to spell them EXACTLY as they are in the design pane.
    Anyway, once the SQL statement is in the Command window you'll be able to alter the WHERE clause to use the wild cards.
    For future reference... What type of database are you reporting against???

  • How to show unhidden parameter in linked report in report manager in ssrs ?

    Hi,
    in my ssrs report1 i have added a image,if i click on that image it will redirect to report2 and it will take parameters from report1 automatically and all parameters are in report2 are hidden because it will consider report1 parameters,but here my requirement
    is 
    in report2 i have total six parameters and all are hidden,i want to show the one of the hidden parameter(LOB) in report,so, i was set visibility property to visible, now i am able to see that one parameter(LOB).
    but after deploying the report in report manager,when i click on the image it is not showing the parameter(LOB)
    Do i need to change anything in image properties?please let me know
    Please help me with this issue how to show the that one particular parameter(LOB) in report manager which is unhidden?, it is an urgent requirement. 
    here we are building reports on cube.
    Please let me know if you need more information.
    Thanks in advance,
    Naveen

    Hi Naveen,
    As per my understanding, since the purpose of a drill-through report is to pass the parameters from main report to the details report, we wouldn't want users to see or modify the parameters in the details report. Therefore, by default, the parameter pane
    is automatically hidden in the details report.
    In this scenario, we can try to use “Go to URL” instead “Go to report” option to work around this issue. If the parameters are multi-value parameters, we can use the expression to like below:
    ="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/reportserver?/Report_folder/Report_name&A=" &Join(Parameters!B.Value,"&A=") & "','_blank'))"
    If the three parameters are single-value parameters, we can use the expression to like below: ="javascript:void(window.open('http://server_name/reportserver?/Report_folder/Report_name&A=" & Parameters!B.Value & "','_blank'))" 
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
    Thanks,

  • When/How to use - "search" parameter type in parameter like other types.

    We recently upgraded BI Publisher to 10.1.3.4. I saw new parameter type "search" in parameter section, when creating report. whats the use of it? How to use it ? like other parameter type Text, Menu,Hidden, Date.
    I couldn't find any help or release notes on this !
    Thanks

    I started looking into this parameter type when our drop-down for customer numbers went from 13,000 (manageable) to 45,000 (completely unmanageable).
    I imagine this is supposed to mimic the effects of a "Long List" type LOV in Oracle Applications (as I had inquired about in [this thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=895521&stqc=true|Large List of Values (LoV) hangs. Is there an equivalent for a long list?]), but performance-wise, "Search" does not seem to be any more efficient that using the "Menu" type LOV. Even with the help of having a partial string with a wildcard to match, the "Search" still takes too long to pull up to be of any use to us.
