Multivalue Parameters

Hello,
I am working on a report that requires two multivalue parameters. The parameters "Date" and "Number" would be keyed in by the user (1 to 50 values can be entered for each of the parameters) and each pair of Date and Number should retrieve a record from the database. If a record is retrieved for a pair, it should be displayed, if not, only the Date and Number should be displayed for that pair with "No item found". The same goes for all the values entered.
Accessing two multivalue parameters is getting difficult as each pair of parameters shoule be executed. Any suggestions pls?
Thanks!
Joseph

I'm still not 100% sure how you are driving this report... But assuming you don't want to have the data drive what is displayed (i.e., one line per record or group of records), then you could do the following:
Create a formula field, and put it in the detail section (basic syntax):
global count(50) as number
for i = 1 to UBound({?Sequence Number})
if {BUSINESSDATE} = {?Business Date}(i) and {SEQUENCENUMBER} = {?Sequence Number}(i) then
    count(i) = count(i) + 1 ' or sum sales, or whatever you want to show
endif
next i
formula = ""
Then, in your report footer, place three formula fields similar to:
@Dates:
formula = join({?Business Date}, chr(13))
@Sequences:
formula = join({?Sequence Number}, chr(13))
@counts:
global count(50) as number
dim rtn as string
rtn = ""
for i = 1 to ubound({?Sequence Number})
if count(i) = 0 then
    rtn = rtn + "Item Not Located" + chr(13)
else
    rtn = rtn + cstr(count(i)) + chr(13)
endif
next i
formula = rtn
Mark the fields Can Grow. This will then display all of your data as desired.

SSRS reporting with sharepoint list using Distinct and Multivalue parameters

i want create ssrs report with sharepoint list using ms-vs(2008). i want create Distinct multivalue parameters by using CAML query. There is any way we put CAML query where we use Distinct keyword and IN clause in CAML query... i hope all experts will
understand my poor English... sorry for poor English.. plz help me

Hi AsifMehmood,
Per my understanding you have create an SSRS report with SharePoint list, now you don’t know to create the distinct parameters by using CAML query, right?
For the CAML language doesn’t have any reserved word (or tag) to set this particular filter to remove duplicate results, but we can use the custom code to do this function. I have tested on my local environment and we can do that by create one hidden parameter(Param1)
to get all the values from the fields which will add the filter and then create another parameter(Param2) to get the distinct values based on the Param1, we use the custom code to do the deduplication.
Step by Steps information in below thread for your reference to create the parameters and the custom code:
"How to get distinct values of sharepoint column using SSRS"

How to access SSRS multivalue parameters by their array index value

Hi,
How can I refer to an SSRS multivalue parameter by its index value? Let's say I have a list
of 10 multivalue parameters that reference database column names. If the user selects the
2nd and 3rd item from the list, I would like to build a dynamic SQL query including just
those items. I'd like to be able to build a string something like this:
"SELECT "+IIF(Paramters!Columlist.value(1) <> null,Paramters!Columlist.value(1),"")
+IIF(Paramters!Columlist.value(2) <> null,Paramters!Columlist.value(2),"")+ ETC...
I know I can test if a value was selected this way:
instr(Join(Parameters!ColumnList.Value,","),"aColumnName")=0
But the column names are MDX tuples and can be quite large and I think this will not be efficient.
Is there a way to use the array index, how best to do this?
THanks

Hi billywinter,
According to your description, you want to specify the available values for an multivalued parameter with array index.
In Reporting Services, null values is not allowed in multivalued parameters. So you needn’t to specify the query to decide whether there are null values or not.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Best Practice for multivalued parameters in *QL

I have a need to do this:

               <query-method>
                    <method-name>ejbSelectAllCasesInFIPS</method-name>
                    <method-params>

                      </method-params>
               </query-method>
                <ejb-ql>     <![CDATA[
                                     select object(c)

                                     where s.issue='H' or s.issue='P'
                                     and c.ClientCaseInfo.fipsCode in $1

                 </ejb-ql>
            </query>But based on the spec, this seems verboten.
Am I restricted to building the query by hand, iterating thru the collection and appending each new string parameter into another String representing a comma delimited list of these parameters?
Many thanks,
Alexandra

Is Sun considering adding Collections (even strongly typed Collections) to this spec? I'm guessing the reason it�s not in the spec is because you can have a Collection of ANYTHING, which could be averted by adding collection types for known types (or specifications for such) . I don't see any reason Java can�t provide StringCollection, IntCollection, LongCollection, etc. It would be incumbent upon DBMS vendors to implement the mapping (which they already do for non-Collection types) but being a programmer I don't see how difficult that could be, since we programmers are repeatedly faced with this relatively low-level problem.

MultiValue Parameters as Optional in SSRS[Using SharePointList as DataSource]

I have four parameters in my SSRS report which uses SharePoint List as data Source. And I want to make all the four parameters as optional. i.e if the user provides one parameter value and if he/she doesn't provide any other parameter value then the report
should still execute with results filtering on the value passed by one parameter only.
Please let me know if there is any solution to achieve this in SSRS. I can't use SQL in any Case.
Thanks in advance.

Hi SQL_Query,
Per my understanding that you have four parameters and the filter will only filter based on the parameters which have choosed values and ignore the blank parameters, right?
If you don't want to use any CAML queries and your parameters are not multiple value parameters, please reference to details information below:(Here I will use two parameters for an example):
The "Available values" for all the parameters should be "none" and please specify the "Default Values" for all the parameters, select the "Allow Blank Values":
Modify the filter and use the expression as below to filter the report:
=Switch(Parameters!ProductID.Value="" or Parameters!ProductName.Value="",Fields!CarMakes.Value=Parameters!ProductID.Value or Fields!CarModel.Value=Parameters!ProductName.Value,Parameters!ProductID.Value<>"" and Parameters!ProductName.Value<>"",
Fields!CarMakes.Value=Parameters!ProductID.Value and Fields!CarModel.Value=Parameters!ProductName.Value )
If all the parameters you are using are multiple value parameters, it will hard for us to achieve not using the query.

How to pass Multivalue parameters from main report to the subreport to a database stored procedure

I am having a Main Report, where the user selects the parameters, and calls the subreport which in turn calls the stored proc which updates the report parameters table, which will be used by all the other sub reports to filter data on.
It works fine when I pass single values from the Main report to the sub report, and it updates the database, but when I map the formula field to the subreport, the subreport does not even show up, and nothing happens on the database. I am thinking the subreport is not executing. I am using the 'Change Subreport Links' to map the formula fields to the subreport parameters.
Please let me know if there is any other work around or a sample report which solves a similar problem.

That is definitely a problem. CR 11.0 has been out of support for 5+ years(?). CR 11.5 has been out of support for close to 3 years.
As far as I am concerned, the suggestions given here are going for naught as presumably they are based on recent builds of CR (E.g.; CR 12.x or higher). I really doubt that Abhilash or Jamie remember if CR 11.0 had problems related to the issue at hand. But they do know that their suggestions work in current versions of CR.
Thus a suggestion; I suspect that you should be able to obtain an image from your IT where you can install CR 11.0 and update it to CR 11.5. Then use this as a proof of concept to the powers that be in your org that it is time to get with the times. BTW.; the most current version of CR is CR 2013, version 14.1.x(!). Again, something that your org should be aware of. So, even better than updating the image to CR 11.5, download the free 30 day eval of CR 2013 and try the suggestions in that version. The eval download is here:
SME Free Trials | SME Software | SAP
BTW.; CR 2013 is a side by side install, meaning that it will happily co-exist with your current CR 11.0 install.

SSRS 2008 R2 - Using Action to call a report with MultiValue Parameters

I have a report uses project names as parameter(Multi value) and display some data. I want to call this report from some other report on a click (drill down). This report has a program row where it aggregates the data, underneath Programs, I have
list of projects(group). When I use Action on the individual projects, it takes me to the appropriate project ( I used
Fields!ProjectName.Value). However, when user clicks on the program, it should pass the group of projects within that program to the called report. With expression, Fields!ProjectName.Value, it only select one random project (may be first/last from
the query) and display records. I tried Join(Fields!ProjectName.Value, ",") and Fields!ProjectName.Value(0) but now it doesn't select a sengle project. Can someone help please?

SSRS with DAX - parameters multivalue vs total element

Hi all,
I'm using SSRS on top of a SSAS tabular model to create intuitive dashboards for management department.
One thing I'm struggling with is the lack of a "total" on parameters. What I'm doing is, based on the fact table, I create the datasets that will feed each parameter, so it only has the dimension members available on the fact table. That is fine
performance wise, you only have 1 element and it renders very quickly.
For a management perspective at a higher level it is important to view the totals to have the big picture of the information. In my project we are in a University, so I have the parameters Year, school (there are several schools in the university campus)
and the course (computer sciences, math, statistics, etc).
At first glance, if I'm a course coordinador I want to pick my course and have a global view, and I'm achiveing that, but imagine now, that I am the school coordinator, or the university coordenator.
I want to see the aggregate values by all courses or by all schools.
In my view I have 2 ways to do this and I come from a tradition cubes background:
1 - I would use the all element the cubes hierarchy have on each attribute
2 - I would use multivalue parameters with StrToSet (worse performance)
Using DAX what is your approach?
Best regards

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.

Using a multivalued parameter in a report

Hi,
I want to create a report with a multivalued string parameter.
I tried the following code but it does not work:
IPropertyName my_prop_name
Map m_parameterDefinitions = new HashMap();
m_parameterDefinitions.put(my_prop_name, new PropertyDef(PropertyType.STRING,true,true,false,false,false));
List my_values = new ArrayList();
my_values.add("zero");
my_values.add("one");
my_values.add("two");
m_parameterDefaults.put(my_prop_name, my_values);
IReportInputMeta m_meta = ReportInputMeta.getInstance(m_parameterNames, m_parameterDefinitions, m_parameterDefaults);
does anyone knows how should I do to make it work?
thanx.
Bassem.

As far as I understand, the reporting UI does not support multivalued parameters.

How to pass multi-value parameters to DDS (data driven subscription)?

Using RS2005, how should multivalue parameters be stored in a database field so that a data driven subscription can properly read and use them? I have so far had no luck using syntax of:
1) parm1, parm2
2) parm1,parm2
Do single qutoes need to explicitly wrap the values? Can you please provide an example and a SQL INSERT statement using parm1 and parm2 to demonstrate what to store in the database field?
Thanks!!

I have skimmed through this an have ran into this problem before but not with RS specifically, but with other ASP.NET apps I have built. Maybe this work around will help.
In my database I created a table function I call udf_Split List. It looks like this: (Can't remember where I got this from, but it's not my own.)
CREATE
FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_SplitList]
@List
varchar(max),
@SplitOn
nvarchar(5)
RETURNS
@RtnValue table
Id
int
identity(1,1),
Value
nvarchar(100)
AS
BEGIN
While
(Charindex(@SplitOn,
@List)
> 0)
Begin
Insert
Into @RtnValue
(value)
Select Value
=
ltrim(rtrim(Substring(@List,
1,
Charindex(@SplitOn,
@List)
- 1)))
Set @List
=
Substring(@List,Charindex(@SplitOn,
@List)
+
len(@SplitOn),
len(@List))
End
Insert
Into @RtnValue
(Value)
Select Value
=
ltrim(rtrim(@List))
Return
END
Then, in my query I used the following parameter: QueriedField IN(select value from dbo.udf_SplitList(@Parameter,',') (I used commas to separate the list, but you can use whatever you like (;,|,*, etc.)
For you @Parameter would be your DDS list parameter. Hope this helps. You can enter your list like Item1,Item2,Item3 etc.

Cascading of multivalued parametrs in SSRS

Hi,
I have a report with 3 multivalued parameters e.g. A,B,C. Parameter C is requiredto be dependant on the either on thevalue of parameter A or on the value of parameter B. I am not able to find out a way to achieve this, however I have already tried couple
of things,
1. Created a stored procedure with a @paramoption input parameter, @paramoption evaluates the query on either the field corresponding to param A or param B and it works fine.
2. Now the problem I am faing is at SSRS level, what I am trying to do is to pass either of the values from parameter A/B in the dataset configuration. I wrote an expression like below but it doesn't work as expected.
IIF(RTRIM(Parameters!.A.Value)="",Parameters!.B.Value,Parametrs!.A.Value) {Please ignore syntax errors here because I have typed the script here and not copied it from SSRS}.
After doing all this when I run the report, Parameter C is disabled until I select a value for Param A and B.
Please help.
Regards
Mohit

Hi Mohit,
According to your description, you create three parameters in the report. You want third parameter enabled when selecting first parameter or second parameter.
In Reporting Services, when we create a cascading parameter which depend on two parameters, the cascading parameter can be enabled after checking both two parameters. As we tested in our environment, though we specify the where clause with “ or “ logical
operator, the cascading parameter still disabled until two parameters are checked. So in your scenario, please provide some simple data for our analysis.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

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
Please Mark This As Answer if it helps to solve the issue Visakh ---------------------------- http://visakhm.blogspot.com/ https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs
Hi Visakh,
I am new to SSRS.
Could you please share a workaround sample for my scenario
I tried to implement the expression for Multivalue parameter1 default value, The parameter1 has below expression
=IIF(Len(Parameters!SecondParameter.Value) > 0,"NotApplicable",Nothing)
and Parameter2 has below expression
=IIF(Len(Parameters!FirstParameter.Value) > 0,"NotApplicable",Nothing)
I get a error saying "The expression references the parameter 'parameter2' which doesn not exist in the parameters collection. Letters in the names of parameters must use correct case"

Report model - number of values selected in DDL param

Good afternoon,
I have created a report model that references Teradata views, and I am using this model to populate several datasets in a Report Builder report. One dataset returns actual results, and the other datasets are used to populate available values for multivalued
parameters.
The issue I'm encountering is that some of my parameters return a large number (tens or hundreds of thousands) of selectable values. When clicking "select all", I'm getting an error, since the concatenated list of values exceeds
the length limit. However, since I'm working with a report model, I cannot use T-SQL workarounds such as custom "<ALL>" values/handling. I also need to limit my result set using these values as parameters, not filters, since I want
the intensive processing handled in the DB server, not the app server.
Is there any possible way to accommodate this? As an example, I have a large (200k+) list of products, belonging to about 7,000 brands. I want both my product number and brand lists as multivalue parameters...I might want to run
the report for all products and all brands (returning 200k+ rows), or choose "select all" in the products list, but only pick a few brands (or vice versa). Cascading parameters (with the first parameter limiting the next set of values)
is not an option since there are many of these parameters that have too many values for the allowed limit (i.e. even my brand list generated the error when I choose "select all" and only picked a few products).
I have searched literally dozens of forums and tech sites, all to no avail thus far. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated...thank you!

I have a SSRS Report with 4 multi-select parameters.
The customer has requested that they would like the drill-through to open in a new window.
I am using Java Script for that purpose.
However, there is a limit on how long a URL may be.
Is there a way in a SSRS report to limit the number of values in a multi-select parameter selected?
Thanks.
One workaround is to add a internal parameter which will count the number of selected values and will allow the navigation only if the count falls below the threshold.
For this you can use an expression like below for setting the internal parameter
Len(Join(Parameters!MultiValuedParameter.Value,","))-Replace(Join(Parameters!MultiValuedParameter.Value,","),",","")
Then use expression like below for the jump to url/report property
IIf(Val(Parameters!HiddenParameter.Value)<=<your thresholdvalue>,<report url>,Nothing)
You can also add a notification textbox on top which will show a message like "Report navigation not possible due to too many values selected" and keep it hidden by default. Then based on above parameter value you can make it visible
ie make hidden property like below
IIf(Val(Parameters!HiddenParameter.Value)<=<your thresholdvalue>,False,True)

Reporting Services Improvements

Does microsoft have any plans to invest in this product? It seems like since 2005 came out, the improvements have been:
1. Table + Matrix = Tablix
2. Integrates with sharepoint
Still I have a clunky code behind function trying to output the selected values of parameters, still you can't disable the "show all" option on multivalued parameters. Heck, the parameters collection still isn't a collection, so you can't
even write a decent parameter display function yourself, not that you should have to.
More and more users are getting the idea that if you want reporting tools, you need to look beyond microsoft. At what point does microsoft invest in this 10 year old tool?

Hello,
1. Currently, SQL Server Reporting Services support three type tablix data region: table, matrix, and list data regions.
2. Since Microsoft SQL Server 2005 SP2, it is support integration between SQL Server Reporting Services and Microsoft SharePoint Products.
For new Reporting Services features in later version of SQL Server Reporting Services, you can refer to the BOL:
What's New (Reporting Services)
If you have any suggestion or feedback about SSRS, I would recommend to submit it to the Microsoft Connect at this link
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/Feedback. This connect site will serve as a connecting point between you and Microsoft, and ultimately the large community for you and Microsoft to interact
with. Your feedback enables Microsoft to offer the best software and deliver superior services, meanwhile you can learn more about and contribute to the exciting projects on Microsoft Connect.
