Formatting the Multi-Valued Parameter Selection in report builder 3.0

Hi All,
I have a field from a data set and i assigned it to a parameter that selects multiple values.
But i want to format(i need only substring of that field value) the data set field value for the user to select those values.
I build a report dataset model for my report. so I am getting the field values that are present in my database.
So, how can i change those values before assigning them to the parameter?
Regards,
Ganga

Hi Ganga,
Based on your description, you want
a parameter get values from a query but you need only substring of the field value. Right?
In SQL Server Reporting Service, you could add a
Calculated Field in the data set. Using expression to substring the field from query. Then we can use this calculated field in parameter.
We have tested this scenario in our environment. Please refer to steps below:
Right-click the data set in the Report Data window and select Add Calculated Fields.
Click “Add” button to add a calculated field(Named “SubString”). Use text functions like Left() and Right() to substring data filed. Type in the expression like:=Left(Fields!CalendarYear.Value,1)+Right(Fields!CalendarYear.Value,2).
The result is like below:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

  • Need to display the first 5 values of a Multi value parameter in SSRS report

    Hi All,
    I have SSRS report with multi value parameter. I need to display the parameter selection values in a text box. I've more than 50 records in the multi value parameter list. I've included the code to display "All" if I choose "select
    all" option otherwise it will show the selected values. But, I need to change the logic. I have to show only the 1st 5 records if I choose more than 5 records.
    How can I implement this?
    I have used the below code
    =iif(
    Parameters!Country.Count = Count(Fields!Country.Value,
    "Country")
    ,"All"
    ,iif(Parameters!Country.Count>5
    ,"Display the 1st 5 values"
    ,Join(Parameters!Country.Value,",")
    Regards,
    Julie

    Hi Julie,
    Per my understanding that you want to always show the first values from the param country to a textbox when you have select more then five values from the dropdown list, if you checked "select all", textbox will display "All", if
    you select <=5 amount of values. it will display the selected values, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and that you can create an hide parameter(Param2) to display just the first five values from the Country and when you select more then five values from country you will get the Join(Parameters!Param2.Value,",")
    to display.
    Details information below for your reference:
    Create an new DataSet2 which the Param2 will get the values from：
    SELECT     TOP (5) Country
    FROM        tablename
    Create an new param2 and hide this parameter, Set the "Available values" and "Default values" by select the "Get the values from a query"(DataSet2)
    You can also Specify first five value for the "Available values" and "Default values", thus you will not need to follow the step1 to create the dataset2
    Modify the expression you have provided as below:
    =iif(Parameters!Country.Count = Count(Fields!Country.Value, "DataSet1"),"All" ,iif(Parameters!Country.Count>5 ,Join(Parameters!Param2.Value,","),Join(Parameters!Country.Value,",")))
    Preview like below

  • Pass multi value parameter to sub report in Drill through report, ssrs

    I have two reports 1 is subreport and other is main report. Date Field are placed in both reports. i have groups in main report,
    one group is task. In the task fields one persons is working in 3 project, two project are same company and 1 is for other and it give me count for each project. I
    want when i click on link it send multivalue parameter to subreport and it just show matching records.
    Asif Mehmood

    As I understand what you need is to use LookupSet function. 
    Suppose if your dataset is like this (for simplicity I'm showing only required fields)
    PersonID Project Company
    ID1 P1 C1
    ID1 P2 C1
    ID1 P3 C2
    ID1 P4 C2
    ID1 P5 C3
    If you want to get the full project list for the person just send the PersonID alone and filter using it in the subreport. You can keep the project/company parameters optional in that case and put a default value. This would be the easiest thing.
    Now if you want pass the project parameter also you need to pass it like this
    =Join(LookupSet(Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Person.Value,Fields!Project.Value,"DatasetName"),",")
     This would act like a self lookup and return you full list of projects for the person and then you can use this to set the parameter value in the subreport.

  • SSRS : Reporting Services - Multi-Value Parameter Issue

    Hi,
    This problem is been around the blogs and forums for while now but may be it's not answered to the fullest. I couldn't get any satisfactory or completed solution on the issue so far, any clues/help will be highly appreciated.
    My scenario is very simple :-
    I am using SQL Server 2005 and SSRS. I need to develop a report which has a parameter value called Customer Name. The users should be able to select multiple customers from the list and sometimes Select All also.  I tried the following :-
    Created two data sets : Second dataset is just to populate the Customer Name
    Created a Report Parameter and mapped with the query parameter where it says  "Where CName in (@Parameter1)"
    Nothing seems to be working although I tried to apply all the existing half-way solutions currently available in the forums. May be I am not getting to the right solution.
    Here is what's happening :-
    When used '?' like "where CName = ?" then it's working fine for the single value. {Multi value query cannot be used with ?}
    But for multiple values when used @Parameter1 like "where CName in (@Parameter1)" it's giving the following error
    Cannot add multi value query parameter '@Parameter1' for data set 'Dataset1' because it is not supported by the data extension.
    However if commented this line it's pulling all the values whether or not selected from the parameter list.
    This is the basic thing which I was not able to get the desired result, in addition I was looking to get the Customer Name parameter selected with a partial entry as we use LIKE. Example :- If the user enters 'St' in the text box the list should show all the names starting from those two letters
    Starter
    Steve
    Steven
    Stevenson etc.
    I am not sure whether I'll will be able to get to this extent or not but until the multi value parameter, I am desperate to get the solution. So any sort of help/advise is highly appreciated.

    Hi Rajkm,
    In order to pass a multi-value parameter through the Reporting Services Web services, you need to define the same numbers of ParameterValue objects as the number of the values of the multi-value parameter being past into the report. The Name property

  • Parameter gets reset and Multi-value parameter doesn't work

    Hi
    Two Issues:
    I've set the value of a Date parameter (Start Date) when moving from the home screen (Report 1) to the next screen (Report 2) as the first day of the current year (DateSerial(Year(Today),1,1). In report 2, if I try to change the Start Date to another date,
    it gets reset to the first day of the year. I had the default value set as the first day of the year and even after removing it, the Start Date gets reset.
    I've set a multi-value parameter (Area) in Report 1 that collects four integers. I pass Area to Report 2 (through Join (Parameters!Area.value,",")). I also used SPLIT (Join (Parameters!Area.value,","),",") to get the value.
    Then, in the data set, I call this parameter as "Select A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3 FROM TEST_VIEW WHERE ID IN (?)". But this query throws an error that the query could not be executed. I ran the same query on the server side and it runs fine.
    Note:
    We cannot reference parameter names as @area for example because the Composite Server doesn't allow that.
    Split and Join operate on strings but my parameters are of integer type. Is this an issue?
    Please help.

    1. Are setting an expression for available values of parameter in report 2? Is the value you pass a valid among the set of values?
    2. IN wont work with comma separated values. You need to parse the individual values out using a string parsing udf as a table and then join to that
    so in your case you would be like
    Select A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3 FROM TEST_VIEW t
    INNER JOIN dbo.ParseValues (@Area,',')f
    ON t.ID = f.Val
    ParseValues UDF can be found in below link

  • Multi value parameter issue.

    We are facing some issue in SSRS report, whilst running SSRS report  it shows as blank in the multi value parameter field when the <all> option is selected(character will be more than 20000). (Report server: MS windows server 2003 and 32 bit(GIRMSA3),
    server: MS windows server 2008 and 64 bit)
    Same is working in the  SSRS Server and Citrix servers both  are 32 bit , MS windows server 2003.
    1. What is the Maximum Number of Values allowed in a SSRS 2008 Text Parameter Dropdown ? Is it configurable  ?
    2. What is the Maximum of Length of Select Values in a Text Parameter Dropdown in SSRS 2005 ? Is it configurable  ?
    Thanks
    Vijay
    Thanks Rai

    Hi  Vijay,
    This is because of the following patch
    “MS11-100 .Net Framework Security Update (KB 2656355)”. Applying this update limits the maximum number of form keys, files and JSON members to 1000 in a request.
    Go to the reporting services installation folder.
    Go to the report server folder and make a backup of the file “Web.config”. Once you have the backup, open the original file in notepad and add the following entry under the Configuration section:
       <appSettings>
                   <add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="30000"/>
       </appSettings>
    Go to the Report Manager folder and again make a backup of the file “Web.config”. Once you have the backup, open the original file in notepad and add the following entry under the appSettings tag:
    < add key="aspnet:MaxHttpCollectionKeys" value="10000"/>
    Once you do the above steps, you should be able to run the report without any issue.
    Hope this helps.

  • Passing Multi-Value Parameter to a Stored Procedure

    Has anyone experienced passing a Parameter (MultiValue) to a Stored Procedure? I am aware that Crystal Passes the Param as an Array. How would you go about handling this within a Stored Procedure???

    Hi Daniel
    Try as below:
    1. Create a Crystal report, and add a multi-value parameter.
    2. Since the multi-value parameter is treated as an array, create a formula that uses the JOIN function. Create a formula as below:
    //Formula: @JoinFormula
    Join ({?Multi-value parameter array},";")
    ====================
    NOTE:
    In the formula above, a semi-colon (";") is the delimiter.
    ====================
    3. Within the main report, create a subreport based on the stored procedure, and include the parameter to be populated with the multi-value list.
    4. Link the Join formula in the main report to the stored procedure parameter in the subreport.
    Doing so passes a multi-value parameter to the stored procedure.
    Hope this helps!!!!

    You need to specify "Default Values" in the report parameter property. Choose similar option used in the "Available Values" option, this will allow the parameter to check "Select All".

    Yes you can pass multi value parameters to a drill through report.

  • How to design SSRS report to filter multi-value parameter?

    I developed an RDL which takes a multivalue parameter and I want to set a visibility expression or filter based on this parameter. This parameter uses an "All" value equal to '660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F'.
    I want to make the main tablix visible if this parameter is set to this uniqueidentifier and invisible otherwise. How can I achieve this either in the tsql dataset or on the report side? I have tried numerous workarounds, but none have worked so far! I've tried
    different expressions and datatypes.
    Before I tried If/Else statements in the tsql dataset, but most recently I instead added flags to the tsql dataset for each condition and am trying to make this tablix only include the records with the flag matching the parameters chosen. But even this is not
    working for me.
    Here is sample data:
    create table #dummydata
    parameter varchar(max),
    b varchar(max)
    insert #dummydata values('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F','record 1'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1vcd','record 2'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1v52','record 3')
    select * from #dummydata
    And my filter expression in the RDL for this tablix is:
    =iif(Parameters!Modifier.Value(0)="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F",1,0)
    With datatype = integer and value = 1 However, this tablix is invisible with the above even when I choose "All" for the parameter value = default value. How can I make this tablix visible?
    Ryan D

    Hi Ryan D,
    After testing the scenario in my local environment, everything goes well. As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the Available values in the Modifier parameter. Could you tell us the Available values of Modifier parameter in your scenario?
    The following scenario in my test is for your reference:
    I create a dataset with the sample data you posted.
    Add a multi-value parameter named Modifier in the report.
    Specify the following values in the Available Values of the parameter (please note that the value “All” should be located in the first place, because we use Parameters!Modifier.Value(0) in the filter):
    Label: All                 Value: ="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F"
    Label: A                   Value: ="1"
    Label: B                   Value: ="2"
    Label: C                   Value: ="3"
    Drag a table to the design surface, insert parameter and b fields in the table.
    Use the same expression as you said to add a filter in the tablix.
    We can refer to the following screenshot:
    If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
