Creating multivalue parameter in SSRS on top of DB2 views

How to create multivalue parameterized report in SSRS for belo scenerio:
Data source is DB2 and we don't need to write whole query as expression while creating dataset.
But if we don't need to write whole query as expression in SSRS, is that possible to create the view in DB2 with same expression query and while calling the view in SSRS, how multivalue report can be generated.

Hi Andy,
Based on my understanding, you want to create a multivalued parameter in your report. When creating the parameter, you don’t want to write a whole query to specify the parameter’s value which is used in the main dataset, right?
In Reporting Services, if we want to create a multivalued parameter, we can create a new dataset to populate the valid values for the parameter. Within the new dataset, we needn’t write a whole query which is used in the main dataset, we can only retrieve
those data which will be used by the parameter. So in your scenario, you can write a simple query to populate the valid values for the multivalued parameter. If you create a view on database side, you can also call the view in SSRS to retrieve the corresponding
data, then specify the values for the parameter with those data.

CREATE A PARAMETER IN SSRS

i AM TO CREAT A PARAMETER FROM THE ANALYSIS DATABASE BUT APPARENTLY THERE ARE NO VALUES IN THE DIMENSIONN MEMBER
BELOW IS THE LOGIC THAT WAS USED WHEN LOADING THE DATA INTO THE DATAWAREHOUSE.
1)
Each transaction in the audit trail is matched with a record in the EA dimension table using the EA, SUBJOB, and AGENCY
2)
Each transaction in the audit trail is matched with a record in the Trans Code dimension table using trans_code
3)
If the EA_STAT value is E4, U4, P5, 02, 03, or 04 AND the TRANS_GROUP value is 3500 or 9100, then the record is marked as a PROJECT
4)
If the EA_STAT value is NOT in E4, U4, P5, 02, 03, or 04 AND the TRANS_GROUP value is 3500, then the record is marked as NON-PROJECT
5)
Anything else outside of those ranges is marked as UNKNOWN.

Multivalued parameter in SSRS 2012

I am designing a report using SSRS 2012.
I want to pass multiple transactions id to the report as parameter.
In the report i have declared @tranid as parameter and set "Allow multiple values" checked.
So how to pass more than one transactions ids through my code ?
and how to write query in the report.
My code (which is not working)
strids = "tran1,tran2,tran3"
Dim param1 As New ReportParameter("tranid", strIds, False)
Dim params As New Collections.Generic.List(Of ReportParameter)
params.Add(param1)
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(params)
In the report my query, Select * from myTable where transactionNo in (@tranid)
If i pass only one then its working. If i select more than 1 then not working.
h2007

Hi,
To pass multi value parameters in ssrs reports We have to set "Allow multiple values" option for that parameter.
Next step is to create a split function in the DB(split with ,(comma)) and use that split function like below
Select * from mytable where transactionId in (SELECT value from dbo.split_fn(@transactionId,',')).
Additional Info :Instead of "in" operator u can use "ifexists" since using "in" operator will raise some performance issues.

Passing multiple integer values as parameter in SSRS

Hello,
I am trying to pass a comma separated multiple integer value parameter in SSRS report and it errors out complaining that it is not able to convert the nvarchar value to datatype int. But it works fine when I pass a single value. Here is the code I am using
for the report and I am stuck at passing multiple values.
SELECT
id,count(*) as cnt
from table
and ID in (@id) group by id
eg: if I pass 10,20,30 then I would get error however if I pass 10 then it works fine
Is there a different method to pass multiple integer values?
Thanks for your help.

A comma is, of course, a textual character and not an integer, thus the error you are getting. Multi-value parameters can be used for this.
Select "Allow multiple values"and set data type to Integer. Multi-value parameters deliver the values as an array. The query interface is smart enough to convert them to the proper syntax (comma-delimited) automatically so a statement like:
WHERE Field IN (@id)
where the parameter has an array of values {1, 2, and 3} is interpreted as:
WHERE Field IN (1,2,3)
You do not need to manually convert it in a transact SQL query. That is not the case for displaying the value array in your report. If you wish to display the array (described above) in your report as "1, 2, 3", you will need to use a join expression:
=Join(@id, ", ")
As DJ described, the other part to a multivalue parameter is the Available values. These can be set explicitly but given your example, I think it would be best to create a new dataset that retrieves a distinct list of the IDs that can be retrieved, perhaps
something like:
SELECT DISTINCT GroupName, GroupID
FROM table
WHERE [criteria]
Set the available values to use this query with GroupName (or whatever user-friendly field you choose for your dataset) as the label and the id as the value. The label field should be something the the target report user can easily identify the correct group
using.
If you don't want to or can't use a multivalue parameter for some reason then you will need to manipulate your parameter value prior to consuming it in your query. When you add the parameter to the TSql query and save the dataset, SSRS adds it to the Parameters
property of the dataset. Open the dataset properties and select the parameters tab. You should see your parameter in the list. click the expression builder (fx) button next to the value and enter this expression:
=Split(@id,",")
Note that the second element of the expression is the delimiter. If your text input has comma-space as a delimiter (1, 2, 3 vs 1,2,3) then that element must include ", ". My example just has comma so if you use that with a string "1, 2, 3"then
the resulting array will still have 3 elements but the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array will have a preceding space which will cause your dataset to error with the same error. As long as there are no non-numeric characters in any of the elements, the split6
will create the text array, SSRS will dynamically generate the correct "IN"syntax (comma separated) and SQL will convert the elements from VARCHAR to INT on the fly.

How to sort via multi value parameter in ssrs

I have a parameter with multi values. when the user selects ,he get of options like acount name, first name, last name.
so if user selects firstname , the data has to sort by firstname.
if he selects acount name , the data has to sort by account name.
please help me how to sort the data using parameter with multivalue? in ssrs 2008.
Thank you?

Hi Venku,
Based on your description, it seems that you create a parameter with available values and you want to sort the report data based on the parameter value. If the available values are the field names in the report, you can try to open the Tablix properties
dialog box and specify the sort expression on "Sorting" tab as follows:
=Fields(Parameter!parametername.value).value
If the parameter allow multiple values and you want to sort the report data by more than one field, for example, sort the report data by "accountname" and then by "firstname", please add two sort expressions as follows:
=Fields(Parameter!parametername.value(0)).value
=Fields(Parameter!parametername.value(1)).value
If you have any question, please let me know.

Can you use a hierarchy as a parameter in SSRS?

All,
I was attempting to create a SSRS report and then will take that report and add it into performance point. In PerformancePoint, I am able to have one dropdown parameter list with a tree like hierarchy coming from a SSAS cube. For instance, my geography parameter in PerformancePoint is one drop down that goes from Region > Area > Country in a tree form.
In SSRS I don't see any way at all to create ONE parameter that has a dropdown in this form. It seems like I have to bring in each component separately. So I would have one Region drop down, One Area dropdown and one Country drop down. Yes I can make them cascading. But is there
1) ANY way at all to create one parameter from a SSAS hierarchy and if NOT then
2) How can I link the SSRS report into my dashboard filter that is one drop down? I do NOT want the users to have to select from region, then from area then from country.
Thanks,
Mindy

Hi Mindy,
Thank you for your posting.
Unfortunately the tree parameter control is not supported in the current version of SQL Server Reporting Service.
I suggest that you could submit your feedback here:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback
I also suggest trying this solution to solve the issue:
1.    In main report, display the country in hierarchy.
2.    Link “country” to sub report.
3.    The sub report is the main report in current situation.
If anything is unclear, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to use the same column value in the casecadeing parameter in ssrs report?

Hi frnz,
I have a table site contains one filed SiteCode
Now i have fields like below using the below quries
SThe above are the two results sets coming from the single table ,now i will use these two results /Query in my ssrs Casecade report
1.First result set/Query will use for the first dataset and use these values in the paramet1 selection as PrimaryCodes
2.Second result set/Query will use for the second Dataset and use these values in the parameter2 as SecondayCodes
3.Using these two datsets and create a Casecadeing paramet in ssrs report.
4.so using this information how can i create the Casecade report ,I have tried different ways but i didnt get the soluction
I have done the follw but ididnt get the o/p.
I have created two parameter and mapped to the results but while paramter selection i will able to see only the first paramet(PrimaryCodes) ,and i will not see the second paramter(SecondaryCodes) it could not show me the second paramter values in the drop
down list.
Note:Here i will use the Single Table to get the all the sitecodes
Can some one please help me out for this report.
Thanks.

Multi Value Parameter in SSRS

Hi,
I have a parameter "MyTeam" (multi-select) which is a list of users.
I also have P1,P2,P3,P4,P5 as additional parameters.
My requirement is , When I select only 1 value in "MyTeam" , P1 should be filled with value selected and P2,P3,P4,P5 should contain "00-000-00".When I select 2 values in "MyTeam" , P1 & P2 should be filled with respective
values and P3,P4,P5 should contain "00-000-00".
I am using the below expression on P2,P3,P4,P5 and changing the Count accordingly, but it doesn't seem to work and I get the error below.....!!!
Example : This expression is for P2 and I am selecting only 1 value in "MyTeam".
=iif(Parameters!MyTeam.Count >= 2, Parameters!MyTeam.Value(1),"000000-00000000")
The Value expression contains an error: Index was outside the bounds of the array.
When I change my expression to =iif(Parameters!MyTeam.Count >= 2, "TRUE","FALSE")
, I get no error.
How do I resolve this..??
Thanks Uma.K

Hi kanumuri1987,
According to your description, you want to create a multivalued parameter, when you select some values from the drop-down list, other unselected values should be set to "000000-00000000".
In Reporting Services, if we have specified available values for a parameter, after processing parameter values, we can select expected values from drop-down list, at this time, those parameter values are fixed and they can’t be changed. So for your requirement,
it can’t be achieved currently.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Multivalue parameter values

@partno is defined a multivalue parameter
when I enter a single part number or leave it empty data is properly returned.
when I enter multiple part numbers data is not returned. I have tried: 604-02394, 604-03492 in the parameter prompt.
I have tried entering those parts on separate lines in the parameter prompt:
604-02394
604-03492
my sql query :
and (fpartno in (@Partno) or '' in (@Partno))
I only want to see those two parts in the report.

Hi JimHoopsDSC,
Per my understanding that you create an multiple values parameter "partno" which haven't specify the "Available values" and "Default Values", when you entered single values or leave it empty in the parameter prompt everything
works fine, but when you try to enter multiple value in it, no data will return right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce the issue, according to the query you have provided that when the fpartno is not blank, data will filter based on the value in the parameter you have entered, when you enter empty all
the data in the table will return.
Please check details information below to have a double check:
I assumed you have blank values in the field "fpartno", please make sure you have check the "Allow Blank value":
Please make sure you have enter the multiple values as below: every values in a single line:
If I have some misunderstanding, please try to provide more details information about your issue and the parameter you have created.

Split Field and MultiValue parameter

I have a multi-value parameter. Options for example are: Zebra, Elephant, and Seal. Then I have a table (actually a sharepoint list) which one field contains other animals in delimited fashion. For example: Elephant;Lion.
What I have set up is a filter (on either the datasource or the tablix) of [Field] IN @parameter which works fine... as the field isn't also multi-valued. I've tried using the Split function, but then it errors trying to evaluate the filter expression.
What I want to do is to return the row if any selected parameter matches any value in the field.
Does that make sense? I'm trying not to get too wordy. Thanks in advance for any responses.

Hi There
You might be able to do this by the help of some custom code so please do the following
Create a custom function in your report which will convert your string to array as you know your fields contain string value you need to convert that in to array first so please go to your report properties
and code and paste this function
Public Shared Function ConvertStringtoArray(sourceString as String) As string()
Dim arrayOfStrings() As String = sourceString.Split(",")
return arrayOfStrings
End Function
Public Shared Function ConvertStringtoArray(sourceString as String) As string()
Dim arrayOfStrings() As String = sourceString.Split(",")
return arrayOfStrings
End Function
Now in you tablix filter please do the expression like this
=instr(join(code.ConvertStringtoArray(Fields!Country.Value),","),join(Parameters!CountryPram.Value,","))
=instr(join(code.ConvertStringtoArray(Fields!Country.Value),","),join(Parameters!CountryPram.Value,","))
Where please change Parameters!CountryPram.Value to your parameter value and please change Fields!Country.Value to your sharepoint list fields values.
I am assuming that you have used multivalued parameter
I am putting some screenshot for your help
If you have any question please let me know
Many thanks

Pass parameter to ssrs report based on cube

hi folks:
I am working on a weekly report based on cube. Users are able to pull out data by themselves using excel. Now they want this to be scheduled to run on a weekly basis via SSRS. The date hierarchy (date.calendar) is like this: Year -> Quarter
-> Month -> Week
I want users to be able to pick any week (only one week) they want and run the report. I understand I need to create a parameter @week .
The problem is how to populate this parameter @week in mdx since the source is a cube db.
Any idea?
Thanks
Hui
--Currently using Reporting Service 2000; Visual Studio .NET 2003; Visual Source Safe SSIS 2008 SSAS 2008, SVN --

Thanks Charlie, your solution is pretty close now. When I try out the shareddataset via cube, I found the following statement in the query via query designer:
WHERE ( [Checkoutdate].[Fiscal Year Calendar].[Week].&[23]&[2014]&[2]&[6] )
23 is the week no, 2014 is the year, 2 is the quarter and 6 is the month. I intend to create 4 parameters so that users could pick year, quarter , month and week.
The question here is the sequence, do I have to strictly follow the sequence [week - year - quarter - month] or it doesn't matter?
SELECT {STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Week].&["+@Week+"]&["+@Year+"]&["+@quarter+"]&["+@month+"]
")} ON 0
or can I go like this as it's more intuitive:
SELECT {STRTOMEMBER("[Date].[Calendar Weeks].[Calendar Week].&["+@year+"]&["+@quarter+"]&["+@month+"]&["+@week+"]
")} ON 0

Make MultiValue Parameter Dynamically Enable/ Disable

Hi,
I have two MultiValue parameters in SSRS report. Both the parameters are independant of each other. If I choose value from first parameter, Second parameter should be disabled dynamically. If I choose value from second parameter, First
parameter should be disabled dynamically.
Can this be achieved in SSRS ?
Is there a workaround to achieve the above scenario ?
Regards
G. R. Venkatesh

Using nulls is one way. Another way is to set a default value say NotApplicable. Just set below expression for default value
IIF(Len(Parameters!SecondParameter.Value) > 0,"NotApplicable",Nothing)
Similarly for the other parameter

Creating a Parameter with pre-defined date ranges.

How can I create a parameter that will allow the user to select a specific date range for a report (i.e. YTD, MTD, WTD...)? Any suggestions? Thanks...
Matt Johnson

You can create & define Parameters in SSRS Report and provide possible values (MTD, YTD or WTD) as drop-down options, the user can then select which one to pick and you can write your T-SQL logic to capture this option and take further query action
on it

While creating the parameter it doesnot pull all the data of that particular column

Post Author: pvds
CA Forum: Data Connectivity and SQL
Hi everyone.
i am using a sql query with a join condition to pull data in to crystal reports. I got that data which i want in to the report. but when i was trying to create a parameter with a dropdown of all the database values to a particular column it is not showing all the data from the report.
for example i have a column called state
the column has many states displayed in the report but when i select that column and select browse data it shows only 1 state. with this i am anable to create a parameter with a dropdown list of all the state. i can see different states in the report but y i am not able to see when i browse the data or create a parameter? can any one answer me?
i already created another report with a query on same table but i never faced this problem before.

There is a limit to the number of Parameters that will show in a drop down... You can increase using the following.
Check this KBase article on how to increase the number.

How and where should I create a parameter list

Hi, I4m trying to create a parameter lists but I don4t know where and how.
I guess as a program unit but as function or procedure, sorry I4m new on this for that I4m finding this a bit difficult. Please, someone could help me to understand this:
PROCEDURE Run_Emp_Report IS
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** If it does, then delete it.
IF NOT Id_Null(pl_id) THEN
Destroy_Parameter_List( pl_id );
END IF;
** Create the 'tmpdata' parameter list afresh.
pl_id := Create_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
** Add a data parameter to this parameter list that will
** establish the relationship between the named query
** 'EMP_QUERY' in the report, and the record group named
** 'EMP_RECS' in the form.
Add_Parameter(pl_id,'EMP_QUERY',DATA_PARAMETER,'EMP_RECS');
**Pass a Parameter into PARAMFORM so that a parameter dialog
will not appear
**for the parameters being passing in.
Add_Parameter(pl_id, 'PARAMFORM', TEXT_PARAMETER, 'NO');
** Run the report synchronously, passing the parameter list
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'empreport', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;

Hi,
What you've pasted the code here is absolutely correct.
You'll have to write the code in Forms builder.
You can either paste the same code in a procedure & call that procedure
from button's When-Button-Pressed trigger or paste the code in
your button's When-Button-Pressed trigger like this :
DECLARE
pl_id ParamList;
BEGIN
** Check to see if the 'tmpdata' parameter list exists.
pl_id := Get_Parameter_List('tmpdata');
Run_Product(REPORTS, 'empreport', SYNCHRONOUS, RUNTIME,
FILESYSTEM, pl_id, NULL);
END;
However, don't write the code in a function as you will need to return some value from the function.
