Ssrs 2008 r2 parameter values

Question

In a new ssrs 2008 r2 report, I need to display 2 of the parameter values in the heading of the report. One of the parameter values in the name and customer number. The second heading value is the city and state where the particular customer is located at.
The customer table has the following values:
a. cust_id int primary-id,
b. customer_name varchar(50),
c. cust_address1 varchar (50),
d. cust_address2 varchar (50),
e. cust_city_state varchar(40),
f. cust_zip_providence varchar(30),
g. cust_country varchar(30).
Thus I need to place the  paramter values of customer_name and cust_city_state that are obtained from a dropdown list in the heading.
when I try =first(customer_name) in the heading, the value is only good for the first customer name. After that, the wrong parameter value is displayed.
Thus can you tell me and/or show me code of what I can do to place the parameter values
of customer_name and cust_city_state in the heading of the report?

Answer 1

Follow below steps,
1. Create 3 Data set.
 DS1 = select * from customertable
 DS2 = select distinct customer_name from customertable
 DS3 = select distinct cust_id from customertable
2. Add two parameter, customer name and customer number
 --------parameter 1
 - supply Name property for 1st parameter
 - datatype for the parameter is string
 - Available value property, Select dataset DS2, Select Field Value as "Customer_Name"
 --------parameter 2
 - supply Name property for 2st parameter
 - datatype for the parameter is string
 - Available value property, Select dataset DS3, Select Field Value as "Cust_id"
3. Add a blank tablix/table.
 -- Select TableRow2 and right click to add new group i.e insert group.
 -- Group properties window will be openned,
 -- Select Group On Expression 1st.
 -- Select the parameter(Parameter1/customer name) by double clicking in the expression window
 -- Select Group On another Expression 2nd.
 -- Select the parameter(Parameter2/Cust Id) by double clicking in the expression window
 -- Now in the general tab you need to checked "Repeat Group Header"
 -- press ok to close the group properties window.
4. Now from DS1 drag the field City and State in TableRow3 columns.
5. Drag the Customer Name and Customer Id/Number in TableRow1.
6. In case if First(Fields!CustomerName) appears then remove First function as simply "Fields!CustomerName". Similarly for Customer Number.
7. Finally we need to set the filter condition of the table property. Open the table property by right clicking. On the "Filter" tab choose the expression as "Fields" items and double click "CustomerName" to add in the expression. Similarly add second
field "CustomerNumber" in the expression. Check the operator "=" and choose the value as "Parameter" items respectively.
