Software Updates Compliance Report issue

Question

Hi all,
I came across a weird behavior in built-in reports and I am looking for a fix or explanation.
I am trying to use "Software Updates - A Compliance" category -> "Compliance 4 - Updates by vendor month year" report, but when I choose the desired collection (All Servers) and keep the rest as "All values" (as I want to
list everything), report shows only 12 pages of results. By this I can't see all as the report is truncated. If I specify year, I get results which are not listed in "All values". I can get the list of updates by selecting each year separately and
export them, but...
Can someone explain why the report shows incomplete results and only 12 pages?
Thanks in advance!

I looked at the SQL Query what is been used in the SSRS Report .seems like the name all values misleading here.
as per the declaration of these input variables,the all values means ,Null or empty.
If at all,you need to get all KB information from very long date as you mean ,get all the values,then you should really modify the query.
SQL is mainly doing the filter based on the following (apart from joins):
(@FromDate is null or ci.DateRevised>=@FromDate and ci.DateRevised<@ToDate)
              and (@VendorID=0 or @VendorID=ven.CategoryInstanceID) 
              and (@ClassID=0 or @ClassID=cls.CategoryInstanceID)
              and (@ProductID=0 or @ProductID=prd.CategoryInstanceID)
            order by ci.DateRevised desc
for Ex: If you select vendor as 'All Values' ,means nothing, implies vendor is blank. You can try selecting the vendor as All Values and you get the KB information for only with vendor as Null.
declare @VendorID int = case when @Vendor='' then 0 else (select CategoryInstanceID from v_CategoryInfo where CategoryTypeName='Company' and CategoryInstanceName IN (@Vendor)) end
from the above vendor select statement, you must supply some value to it either Microsoft,adobe or local publisher else ,the declare statement treat the vendor value as blank .
Next ,Year :
declare @FromDate datetime = case when @Year!='' then convert(datetime, @Year+'-'+case when @MonthNumber!='' then @MonthNumber else '01' end+'-01', 20) end
for year and month,you should select the value otherwise,you get the information with null values or so.
Same goes for Month ,product ,Update Class.
declare @ToDate datetime = case when @Year!='' then dateadd(month, case when @MonthNumber!='' then 1 else 12 end, @FromDate) end
declare @ProductID int = case when @Product='' then 0 else (select CategoryInstanceID from fn_rbac_CategoryInfo(@lcid, @UserSIDs) where CategoryTypeName='Product' and CategoryInstanceName=@Product) end
declare @ClassID int = case when @UpdateClass='' then 0 else (select CategoryInstanceID from fn_rbac_CategoryInfo(@lcid, @UserSIDs) where CategoryTypeName='UpdateClassification' and CategoryInstanceName=@UpdateClass) end
