Disable SSRS parameter using another parameter value

Hello, I'm developing using SQL Server 2008 R2 standard edition & I would like to disable 2 parameters (parRestraint and par RestrantPosition) by using another parameter, "Restraint Filters On Off".
When the user loads the report up, I want the On Off filter to be defaulted to off, and the former 2 params to be disabled, but the default value to be visible for them, which are NDX tuples.
parRestraint default value = [Incident].[Incident Restraint].[All] (from MDX dataset)
parRestraintPosition default value = [Incident].[Incident Restraint Position].[All] (from MDX dataset)
ANy advice appreciated !

An additional pierce of information is that the data for the parameters comes from an Analysis Services cube (Restraint and Restraint Position are attributes of the Incident dimension).
I would like to be able to set a null value for default values of Restraint and Restraint Position parameters, but SSRS won't allow me to do this.
My code for Restraint default param value
=IIF(Parameters!IncidentYN.Value = -1,
"null","[Incident].[Incident
Restraint].&[UnAssigned]")
or
=IIF(Parameters!IncidentYN.Value = -1,
null,[Incident].[Incident
Restraint].&[UnAssigned])
Both example fail. I think that this could be achieved with a relational database as the data source for the parameters, but need someone to confirm this.
Thanks everyone.

How to enable / disable SSRS Parameter

Hi
I want to enable a parameter called "start date" (type is date) when another (value from dropdown) parameter is selected
Say for an example, i have below 3 parameters
1. drop down which 2 values called "vtextbox","vdate"
2. start (data type is date)
3. finish (data type is date)
when i select "vdate"value from the dropdown 2nd and 3rd parameters has to be enable
similarly when i select "vtextbox" value from the dropdown 2nd and 3rd parameter has to disable
I have searched many forums every one says this is not possible in report manager interface
But this is possible in custom code
please make a note all three parameters are independant
It would be great if any one provide the custom code for same
Regards
Santosh

Hi itsmesantosh1982,
According to your description, you want to use a parameter to control enable/disable other two parameters. Right?
In Reporting Services, when we create a parameter, this parameter has been enabled. The only way you want to disable the parameter is deleting it. In this scenario, disable the two parameter is same as selecting all values in these two parameters. So
we can just modify the default values in 2nd and 3rd parameter instead of using cascading parameter. We can create a dataset, put in the query below:
IF @Param='vtextbox'
select distinct startdate from [table]
else
select '[value]'
The [value] can be any value which is not existing in [table]. So when you select 'vtextbox', the default value will be all values in the table. If you select 'vdate', it will need you to select value automatically because the return value is not existing
in the table. This can be an effective workaround for your requirement.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to disable "Enter Parameter Values" for optional paramters?

I'm having issues getting the Crystal Reports .NET Viewer to suppress the "Enter Parameter Values" dialog for optional parameters. I have templates created using Crystal Reports 2008 and am linking against the CR for VS 2010 runtime.
Within the report template the optional paramter has "Optional Prompt" set to "True". This particular parameter also allows multiple values and is used in record selection. Within the record selection it is using HasValue().
It seems the parameter is set up properly as I have other parameters that are set within the code that are not prompted for. If I pass in the optional parameter through the code the "Enter Paramater Values" dialog also does not appear and the report is generated correctly. All of the parameters are set using ParameterFields and they are set before the ReportSource is set.
Looking through the .NET API documentation it seems like the CrystalReportViewer should have an "EnableParameterPrompt" property that would do what I want however it doesn't seem to be a valid parameter as I get compile errors when I try to use it... Not sure if it matters or not but I am using managed C++ and our application is built using Visual Studio 2005. Could that maybe have something to do with it?
Thanks,
-Ben

OK, I'm going to answer my own question as with a little more digging I was able to find out that I needed to set some stuff on the report document to specify that there are no values. Still not sure why "EnableParameterPrompt" is not valid for me though as it seems like that would work as well. At any rate here is what I needed to do:
ReportDocument->ParameterFields[<Optional Parameter Name>]->CurrentValues->Clear();
ReportDocument->ParameterFields[<Optional Parameter Name>]->CurrentValues->IsNoValue = true;

SSRS Parameter value from another parameter

Hello Everybody,
I have a parameter that I need to get it value from another parameter.
The first parameter @rdt is a date - 11/01/2012
The second parameter @mm is the year and month = 2012
I tried putting in a select inside the query but it did not work
SET @mm = (SELECT cast(year(@rdt) as char(4)) + cast(month(@rdt) as varchar(2)))
Then I put it as a default value inside the parameter and it still did not work
=cast(year(Parameters!rdt.Value) as char(4)) + cast(month(Parameters!rdt.Value) as varchar(2))
Any ideas or suggestions ?
Thanks in advance

Hi Msj99,
I have tested the expression provided by
Visakh16 that it works fine , you will get the value as Integer type "YYYYMM", you can also use expression as below to get the string type of @mm (YYYYMM):
=Year(Parameters!rdt.Value)&Month(Parameters!rdt.Value)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

SSRS Parameter values in Dropdown not Labels?

I'm fairly new to SSRS and I am trying to set up a report with parameters in VS2010 against SQL Server 2012.
I've come across two distinct problems, the first appears to be a bug. When I create a parameter I set the values to the key and the Label to the friendly name for the key value from my dataset. (e.g. select customerid, firstname + ' ' + lastname
as customername - putting customerid as the value and customername as the Label) When my report runs on IIS the parameter always shows the id whether the Label is set to customer name or not. Has any one come across this?
The second problem could be a problem with my set up, if I try and preview a report I get an error saying the windowsbase.dll assembly cannot load. I have repaired both VS 2010 and SQL Server 2012 and the problem still persists. Again any ideas?
regards,
Anthony

Hi Tanman321,
According to your description, you have one problem about the labels in parameters. The other problem is missing some assembly file when previewing report. Right?
In this scenario, if we get the error "Could not load windowsbase.dll", we should add reference in Visual Studio. Please see the link:
Finding WindowsBase.dll . If the .dll file is corrupted, you can download this file on Microsoft site:http://www.microsoftfixit.us/windowsbase-dll/
For your first issue, we haven't encountered this issue as we tested in our local environment. We suggest you check the dataset and data fields in your parameter and preview this in Visual Studio first. If it still exists, please try to restart the Report
Server.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

SSRS Report date parameter values using SSAS Cube as datasource

Hey Guys,
i m building an SSRS report using SSAS cube as the data source. The report contains shared data-sets which provide the required data. below is the set up.
Sql server version : Sql server 2008R2
Report builder 3.0
I have, Report A, powered by Dataset D, running on Cube C. The dataset has 3 parameters out of which one of them is a date parameter- P1. I have it set up such that on the report there is another parameter - P2 which contains the type as Date ( to
ensure the user is exposed to a date picker), the input from this, P2 is then manipulated to required format before fed into the dataset parameter P1 (hidden). I have two questions regarding this parameter.
Currently, when the user pick's a date (P2) which has no values, the report errors out as it doesn't find that corresponding member on the cube. Can it be made such that if the member doesn't exists, a simple error message like "date not found"
pops up as opposed to report failing?
Secondly, can i manipulate the date picker (P2) exposed to the user such that the unavailable dates are grey'ed out on the date parameter (P2)?
Please let me know if there is any more info required on each of the questions.
Thanks

Passing parameter values to another report using URL actions (reportserver)

Hi guys,
I have two reports that I link with eachother. For report A - B everything works perfect. When I try to do the same for report B - A it works, but the parameter value is not filled in.
=Iif(
Parameters!PAR_LinksEnabled.Value,
Globals!ReportServerUrl & "?" & Replace(Globals!ReportServerUrl, "_vti_bin/ReportServer", "")
& "Reporting/POS Reporting/Reports/POS Report.rdl&POS_ID=" & Parameters!CONNECTION_ID.Value & "&POS_LANG=" & Parameters!POS_LANG.Value & "&PAR_Date=%5BDate invoice%5D.%5BBonus Calendar - Week%5D.%5BBonus
week of year%5D.%26%5B" & Left(Parameters!YEAR_WEEK.Label, 4) + "%5D%26%5B" & CInt(Right(Parameters!YEAR_WEEK.Label, 2)) & "%5D",
Nothing
Even tho I specify the parameter he has to pass through, the report opens with parameter period : <select a value>. Anyone has an idea why such behaviour happens?
Thanks!

Hi Yvanlathem,
Per my understanding that you want to use the expression above to conditional add the hyperlink to pass the value to the parameter of anpother rreport via the URL in the SharePoint integrated mode report server, right?
I have check the expression you have provided and the issue can be caused by the wrong way you have write the expression to pass the parameter, please check detais information below to make sure you have pass parameter in the URL correctly:
Please modify the expression to below structure :
=Iif( Parameters!PAR_LinksEnabled.Value="Enabled", "URL",Nothing)
I saw you have use expression like "&POS_ID=" & Parameters!CONNECTION_ID.Value & "" which is incorrect, we need to set a report parameter within a URL, use the following syntax:
parameter=value(not Value=Parameter)
If you are using the following syntax like "Parameter1=Parameter2", both parameters and from different report, if you have add the "Go to URL" action from report2 to Report1, please make sure Parameter1 is from the Report1
and Parameter2 is from Report2, change the order will not work
More detail information:
Pass a Report Parameter Within a URL
So, In your scenario, please make sure the value is from one report's field (POS_ID) and the the parameter(CONNECTION_ID) is from another report (e.g:"&CONNECTION_ID=" &Fields!POS_ID.Value &"")

Parameter weirdness: Report not using user selected parameter value

I am writing my first report and cannot for the life of me figure out how to deal with this issue.
When I call a report and pass the parameters in, it appears that the user cannot then change the parameter values and run the report again even though the parameters are displayed. When user hits run report, the values revert to what was passed in by original
call.
Scenario
Report B has Parameter Period : Month, Quarter, Year displayed in a drop down list.
Report A calls Report B and passes it the parameter: Quarter.
Report B loads. User now changes parameter to Year via the drop down parameter list and hits Run Report.
Instead of loading the report with user selected value (Year), it reverts back to the parameter it was called with, Quarter.
I have tried changing the refresh option on the parameter to always, but no joy.
The only way that seems to work is to put textboxes on the report to change the parameter.
How can I stop this behaviour, and use the users new selection.
This should be really straight forward, and its driving me nuts that its not allowing the user to change the parameters
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks Jon

Hi Jon,
Did you use SSRS 2012? Based on my test, the issue is occurred in SSRS 2012 Business Intelligence Development Studio (BIDS). When we deploy the report to report server, it will disappear.
In this situation, we can add another duplicate parameter to work around this issue. Please add two parameters in the report, and then hide one of the parameter. We can pass the parameter value to the hide parameter. If we want to select other values, we
can change the visible parameter values.
Alternatively, I recommend you that submit this suggestion at
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/. If the suggestion mentioned by customers for many times, the product team may consider to add the feature in the next SQL Server version. Your feedback is valuable for us to improve our products and increase the

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<FieldRef Name="FirstName" />
<FieldRef Name="LastName" />
<FieldRef Name="FullName" />
<FieldRef Name="UserName" />
<FieldRef Name="Company" />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">
<Parameter Name="EmployeeId"/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

Ssrs 2008 r2 parameter values

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 report, I need to display 2 of the parameter values in the heading of the report. One of the parameter values in the name and customer number. The second heading value is the city and state where the particular customer is located at.
The customer table has the following values:
a. cust_id int primary-id,
b. customer_name varchar(50),
c. cust_address1 varchar (50),
d. cust_address2 varchar (50),
e. cust_city_state varchar(40),
f. cust_zip_providence varchar(30),
g. cust_country varchar(30).
Thus I need to place the paramter values of customer_name and cust_city_state that are obtained from a dropdown list in the heading.
when I try =first(customer_name) in the heading, the value is only good for the first customer name. After that, the wrong parameter value is displayed.
Thus can you tell me and/or show me code of what I can do to place the parameter values
of customer_name and cust_city_state in the heading of the report?

Follow below steps,
1. Create 3 Data set.
DS1 = select * from customertable
DS2 = select distinct customer_name from customertable
DS3 = select distinct cust_id from customertable
2. Add two parameter, customer name and customer number
--------parameter 1
- supply Name property for 1st parameter
- datatype for the parameter is string
- Available value property, Select dataset DS2, Select Field Value as "Customer_Name"
--------parameter 2
- supply Name property for 2st parameter
- datatype for the parameter is string
- Available value property, Select dataset DS3, Select Field Value as "Cust_id"
3. Add a blank tablix/table.
-- Select TableRow2 and right click to add new group i.e insert group.
-- Group properties window will be openned,
-- Select Group On Expression 1st.
-- Select the parameter(Parameter1/customer name) by double clicking in the expression window
-- Select Group On another Expression 2nd.
-- Select the parameter(Parameter2/Cust Id) by double clicking in the expression window
-- Now in the general tab you need to checked "Repeat Group Header"
-- press ok to close the group properties window.
4. Now from DS1 drag the field City and State in TableRow3 columns.
5. Drag the Customer Name and Customer Id/Number in TableRow1.
6. In case if First(Fields!CustomerName) appears then remove First function as simply "Fields!CustomerName". Similarly for Customer Number.
7. Finally we need to set the filter condition of the table property. Open the table property by right clicking. On the "Filter" tab choose the expression as "Fields" items and double click "CustomerName" to add in the expression. Similarly add second
field "CustomerNumber" in the expression. Check the operator "=" and choose the value as "Parameter" items respectively.

SSRS Matrix report to show or hide year column based on parameter value "Date" selected.

Hey experts!
I have a requirement an ssrs matrix report should display columns (year/s) based on parameter value (date/s).
My Dataset fileds are: Product, Year_name, Month_name, Date
Currently my report output looks like this-
Param Date: 2013-08-01 00:00:0.000
Product +Calender2011 +Calender2012 -Calender 2013........ +Calender2014

Abc 100
220
10 20 30....... 20 250 400
Xyz 110
200 50 80 40....... 30 450 600
My requirement: if I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2013-xx-xx' I should only able to see Year column 'Calender2013' and rest of the years should hide. Similarly If I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2014-xx-xx' I should only able to
see Year column 'Calender2014' .
Appreciate your kindly help.
Afan

Hi Afan,
According to your description, you want to only show the selected year on your report, right?
In this case, you need to get the year from the date parameter using the expression below
=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
And then use the expression below to get the year from Year_Name field.
=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)
Then add a filter to the dataset to filter the data like below
Expression:=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
Operator:=
Value:=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)

Read Query String Parameter Value in SSRS

Hi,
We have Project Server 2010 and Sharepoint Server 2010 env and using SSRS 2008 R2 for reporting purpose in Native mode.
Here I am displaying the SSRS Project report in Project Server page using Report Viewer web part like below.
Here I want to read projuid query string parameter value (Highlighthed above in URL ) in SSRS by using any way, so that I can pass that
projuid value in my SSRS report parameter to filter and make this report dynamic.
Right now I have to select the ProjectName (Label) which passes ProjUID
as value from the Parameter, but I want it should read the projuid
from URL so that this reports will display the project the data for the opened Project automatically
Thanks and let me know in case we can achive this using OOTB or some custom functions.

Hi,
For the report parameter, you can get the value from database query or some embedded funcitons etc. or even some customerized function.
You may consider to create your own code for the report to read the projuid from application or URL. The customer code can be used to get the values from the applicaiton or from the url etc. Then report can call the customer code function to get the value.

How to use different default parameter value for different report subscriptions

In ssrs is it possible to define different default parameter values for different subscriptions? In the following example I have a report which has two subscriptions with different start date and end date values:
Report name – Testsubscription.rdl
Subscription-1
Input parameter (default values):
start_date = first day of current Month
end_date = till date
Subscription-2
Input parameter (default values):
start_date = first day of current Quarter
end_date = till date
I know an alternative way of doing this would be to copy the rdl file with a different name but I am curious whether this can be done within a single report definition file. I am using SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition.
Thanks!
spp

Hi sppdba,
As per my understanding, there is a report with two parameter: start_date and end_date, you want to configure subscription for the report, and set different default values for start date and end date. And you want to know if it is possible to achieve you
goal by using a single report definition file.
Since you are using SQL Server 2008 R2 Standard Edition, we need to achieve your goal by configuring two subscriptions for the report. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
1. In design surface, right click start_date and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
2. In General pane, type Name and Prompt, set Data Type to Date/Time.
3. Click Available Values in left pane, select Specify Values.
4. Click Add button, in Label text box, type “First day of Current Month”, click (fx) button in Value section, then type the expression like below:
=DateSerial(Year(Now()), Month(Now()), 1)
5. Click Add button, in Label text box, type “First day of Current Quarter”, click (fx) button in Value section, then type the expression like below, then click OK.
=DateSerial(Year(Now()), (3*DatePart("q",Now()))-2, 1)
6. Right click end_date and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
7. In Available Values pane, select Specify Values.
8. Click Add button, in Label text box, type “Today”, click (fx) button in Value section, then type the expression =Today(), then click OK.
Now that the parameters are created, we need to configure subscription for the report. For detail information, please follow these steps:
1. Open Report Manager, and locate the report for which you want to create a new subscription.
2. Hover over the report, and click the drop-down arrow.
3. In the drop-down menu, click Manage. This opens the General properties page for the report.
4. Select the Subscriptions tab, and then click New Subscription.
5. Select the delivery extension and data source for the subscription.
6. Select a method of delivery, then choose report delivery options.
7. Specify conditions that cause the subscription to process and delivery to occur.
8. Set start_date to First day of Current Month, end_date to Today, then click OK.
9. Create a new subscription as step4 to 7, set start_date to First day of Current Quarter, end_date to Today, then click OK.
The following screenshots are for your reference:

Value for a parameter based on another parameter value

Hi all,
i am using report 6i and 10g db.
I have to create a report based on some parameter values. For example
Two parameter named as P_emp_code and P_emp_name
In the first parameter p_emp_code has list of values like empcode emp_full_name ie like 0002108 Vanitha Lanet Mendez
when user select P_emp_code i want to display the fullname in p_emp_name .
I tried as follows in list of values
select emp_fullname from emp_master where emp_code=:p_emp_code
then getting error bind variable cannot be used
Please suggest a way .
Thanks

Hello,
The thing you are asking for set and editing the reports parameter form's value. Then i don't think you can do this by using the report parameter form.
But there are two alternatives for this task.
1. Create one form using form builder and pass the parameter and run the report from there. So, you can use the code as you showed in your first post.
2. Why don't you make this Title setting automatically? I Mean using the gender column (with decode/case condition) of same table.
