SCCM 2012 R2 Reports not activate Value button and not showing Visio and Project products

Question

Hello,
I have experiencing some problems with SCCM reports
1)  In some of the reports the "Values" button is disabled and because of that I can not select the name of a specific computer, the reports I've noticed that are relating to Specific Computers
2) The other problem is that when reviewing a software inventory report on a specific computer, Visio nor the Project of Microsoft Office does not appear , which itself can be seen from the Resource Browser
I will appreciate it very much to help me to solve these drawbacks presented in the reports of SCCM 2012 R2.
Thanks in advance.

open the report in the report builder tool (in the console, right click and edit. From the reports web page you can click the drop down and choose open with report builder) and examine the query that is being used to populate the computername
values list. You should be able to run that query from the report builder utility to see if anything is being returned. For the report you mention, there is no query to bring back computer names. In report builder, in the left hand menu, open the parameters
folder, then right click @variable from the list and open the properties. Go to the available values item in the menu of the properties window and notice that the available values is set to none, not get values from a query. That is why you can't click on
Values in the SSRS report and get a list of computer Names. You could add a query into the report and save the report if you really want a drop down list of all computer names. I would save the report with a different name if I were to take that approach,
it is not a good practice to modify the built in reports.
Regarding the applications you are not seeing, you will have to look at the query contained in the report, and determine if that query is targeting the same view or data that you were looking at using resource explorer. Which category within resource
explorer were you seeing the information you were expecting to see in this report? You can use report builder to see that the report you are looking at is calling a function to return the software titles, and that function looks to be based on the v_gs_softwareproduct
view. If you were looking at software files or add/remove programs within the resource viewer, you won't necessarily see the same information in the report, since the report is reading a different view.
I hope this info will help you to troubleshoot report quirks. SCCM 2012 reporting is a world apart from SCCM 2007 reporting. There are alot more stored procedures and functions used in SCCM 2012, and even a dll file on the reporting point that is required
for some (most) of the reports!
