Showing description of a parameter in the report

Hi all,
I have a requirement where I need to show the description of a parameter in the report.
For eg:
CODE              DES
AF          Associated Feature
BG          Background
BGA          Background Ambient
BCA          Bkgrd Comm Ambient
BC          Bridge/Cue
CJ          Combination M Jingle
CS          Combination M Promo
CT          Combination M Theme u2026 and so on.
The parameter is on the DB field u2018CODEu2019. Here when the user selects the parameter value u2018AFu2019 the report should show the description u2018Associated Featureu2019 in the Report Header.
I am using stored procedures in the report and lookups(coming from a package) for the drop down values of parameters.
I thought of creating arrays in the formula editor but I could not find a way to pass values to an array variable from a field. (I have to enter all the values in array manually to create it. But we have approx 50 reports which have CODES of more than 40. So itu2019ll be not feasible).
Is there any way to achieve this requirement?
Thanks for your help in advance.

Try to use add command and write the query like this
select code,description from table where code={?Parameter}
Now link this command with your stored peocedure using left outer join and place the field in the report header to get the description.

Raghavendra

Display the description of a parameter in the report

Hi Guru:
I have a parameter, for each value to be selected, there is a description.
Now my question is, how to display the description of the value in the report?
I tried to put the parameter into the report, but it display the value, not the description.
For example, I have a parameter, for company code, each company code will have a description in the value list of the parameter, after the user pick 1000, I want to put the name of company code 1000 into the report.
Thanks.
Eric

The only way I have found to do this without hard-coding a translation table is to return the value in your dataset. In your case, cross join your results to
select company_name from company where company_code = {?comp parm}
(or something similar...)

-How to restrict Description into single row in the report

Hello Colleagues
I have a report which shows Material number versus Revenue. In the row, material is displayed with Technical name and description.
Here, the view of the report shows the description in single line. While, in the report, description of the report runs 3 to 4 lines though description contains 5 to 6 words (which can fit easily into single line).
Let me know how to restrict each row descrption into single line.
Regards,
Ningaraju

Hello Colleagues
Please find the format it is currently appearing in the web reports.
Material Num        Material Description    Revenues (In Eur)
1000001               "SAP
                            ERP
                            Professsional
                             User"                             111
Wanted to change above format into as below in which it has to show material description in single row.
Material Num          Material Description                              Revenues (In Eur)
1000001                 "SAP ERP Professsional User"                         111

How to get USERID system parameter in the report

I can pass the user id, password and connect string through the USERID parameter, but how do I get it in the report? (I need to pass the USERID to a different report, I got a error when I use :USERID). Thanks.
WJ

There are two steps I used with which to get USERID into the report.
1) Create a user parameter, P_USER, datatype CHARACTER, width 20
2) in Report Trigger AFTER PARAMETER FORM (could also be BEFORE REPORT), insert the following line of code:
:P_USER := USER;
Now you can create an F_USER variable with P_USER as its source and place it in the report as you would with any other user parameter.

Parameter in the report

Hi Experts,
I want that i shall pass one column name of a table (EMP) and in the report i shall print the column of the database for example if i pass the
string 'Ename' via a parameter to report the report should print all the Enames of the EMp table.
Suppose the user parameter which i have defined in the Report side is param_name and in the SQL query of the report i am writting that
Select :param_name from emp;
but the result it is giving me is.
Param_name1
ename
ename
ename
ename
Can any one suggest.
Regards
Rajat

This is a Reports question and it should be asked in the Reports Forum. but here's a little something you can start with.
You need to use lexical parameter in your select statement of the report.
SELECT &col_name FROM EMPthe lexical parameter will be substituted with the column name in your SQL. For more information search for lexical parameters in the report's builder online-help.

How to show all fileds column without scroll the report output.

Hi,
In my report output shows few columns and need to scroll right to see rest of fields . but i want to see all columns without scroll to right side in output.
Please guide me how to fix the fileds in report.
Regards.

Hello,
Why dont you use WAD and then switch off these properties in Webitem paging properties.
i think that would give you more flexibility with paging,scrolling but with some extra effort of creating a WAD
waiting for your feedback

Passing multi value parameter to the Drill through report

Hi

I am Navigating from Report A to Report B using Jump to Report option.
Now when I pass multiple parameter to the Report B it only displays first parameter results.
In report B I have parameter multi value select to true.
I would like to know if its possible or not to pass multi value parameter in drill through report?
I would appreciate if someone can help me here.
Regards
Amit

Yes you can pass multi value parameters to a drill through report.
It works similar to multi value parameters for subreports, which is discussed in detail in this thread: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=163803&SiteID=1

How to change sql server reports parameter direction in report builder 3.0

Hi All,
I have created few reports using Report Builder 3.0 with the data source as SharePoint list. i have created a web part page and added the ".rdl"
file, everything is working as expected. Later, i got a requirement to add a parameter to the report , i did that and when i ran the report in SharePoint page, the parameters shows right side and the parameter ribbon shows the dropdown control on top and "Apply
button" at the bottom. When i presented this to my manager, he says the parameter ribbon looks bad and suggested to put both the controls together and also instead of displaying at right side vertical, display it horizontal.
I have below queries
How can i change the direction of parameter ribbon from vertical to horizontal
How can i bring the controls together (e.g. dropdown list control and button)
How can i add buttons on the report in report builder 3.0

Unfortunately, where the parameters are located and the button distance away from the parameters are not something you can customize. Here are the options available for customization:

How to create an optional parameter in ssrs report

I have a report where I want to give the report user the option of entering a phone number as a filter if they want to pull data only for a particular phone number or pull the report without entering a phone number as a parameter, thus disregarding
the use of the filter. I have parameter for the phone number that shows as a text box where the report user can enter the number then click to run the report. A filter on the data set that uses the phone number parameter as the
value. It works fine when I enter a phone number (it returns the row associated with the phone number entered. However when I do not enter a phone number, no rows are returned. How can I get all rows to be retuned when
I do not enter a value for the parameter?
M Collier

Hello,
Did you specify the DefaultValue or ValidValue of the parameter 'parameter name1' by get values from another parameter or itself?
If there is another parameter or
cascading parameters , the error may caused by the order of parameters. When preview report, the order of the parameters in the Report Data pane determines the order in which the parameter queries appear in the report. Please verify the order
of the cascading parameters.
Whats's more, please also check the parameters name and the acceptable values of the parameters.
