SSRS Datetime Parameter value should display in DD/MM/YYYY format

Hi All
we have 2 Datetime parameters in my report , where the value is shouwing in MM/DD/YYYY format . i have modified the language type of report to Fr-BE but there is not change . Users want to see the date value in DD/MM/YYYY format . how can we achieve this
Surendra Thota

I have this same issue on my new laptop (suffering with it for about 9 months actually). I used to work around it by launching Visual Studio as a different user. That doesn't work anymore as I can't get the report preview to display when run
as another user (apparently that's an issue reported in other forum threads).
I lodged something on Connect about this quite a while ago and the op there was also quite unhelpful. Using expressions and so on is NOT an option. It's impossible to preview a report using date pickers now as it seems the control validates using
one format and then the engine seems to immediately validate using the other. I suppose an ambiguous date like 3/2/2013 (Feb or March?) would "work" but is hardly nice. There's a lot more detail in this thread
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/a5e40392-2bf8-432e-89f5-3a948fc3ea7a and the subsequent Connect issue I filed
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/750202/date-picker-in-reporting-services-2008-r2-visual-studio-designer-wrong-formatting#tabs .
The new SQL 2012 tools that were released a couple of months ago that us VS2012 as the designer still have the same flaw. I've just tried opening a Microsoft support incident but the issue opening tool seems broken as any selection of a SQL Server
product results in 404s :(
Anyway, the other forum thread may be able to help others or at least help clarify the problem we're experiencing. I'm apply CU4 for SQL 2012 at the moment plus I saw there's a release of the VS2012 "BIDS" tools to get on the CU4 page - maybe it's
a new version? I'm hoping so :)

Date display in dd-mmm-yyyy format on opening a .jsp file as .xls

Hi,
I am pretty new to Java and JSP, I have a problem,
There's an application in which the contents of a .jsp are to be displayed in excel format.
All the data are displayed in correct format except the dates.
The dates that are in the dd-MMM-yyyy format in the .jsp's are displayed as dd-mmm-yy in the .xls file.
How to solve this?
Thanks in Advance!

Maybe you need to configure that "application"? Or if you actually have access to the source code, then just take a look in it.
Without any more details about the "application" we can't help you any much further.
Generally, when you want to convert a Date or Calendar object to a human readable String, the SimpleDateFormat [1] is been used.

Where should parameter values be displayed on Financial reports?

I write our Report Guidelines and have always said that the parameters must be displayed in the Page Header. Or if space is an issue than Report Header is acceptable. Now I have several people in our office telling me that parameters should be in the Report Footer.
This seems crazy to me.
I need your thoughts.
Thanks

hi,
Parameters are generally placed in Report Header.
If user is interested to see parameters on each page of report, then Page Header is apt.
Also, parameters can be placed one-by-one vertically, if there are few. If there are many, they can be positioned side-by-side horizontally and then extending vertically.
Also, ensure that report data/chart should be displayed on first page of report.
My assumption why some of your colleagues suggested to place them in Report Footer is ,
if parameters are multi-valued and there are more parameters, then user can select many values.
So first page of the Report will be filled completely with parameters and values. User will not feel good as report data/chart is displayed on 2nd page of the report. If they are placed in Report Footer, User will be able to see the data in first page of the report and parameters stuff will be displayed in last pages.
In case of lot of parameters(multi-valued) for a report, display very important parameters on Report Footer and place remaining on Report Footer.
Also it depends upon the end user-to-user satisfaction where to display the parameters.

Ssrs 2008 r2 parameter values

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?

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.

Disabling the Enter Parameter Value dialog box

I'm developing Crystal Reports in a WPF application using CRVS2010
The issues I'm having are the following:
I am attempting to pass parameter values to a report. I have been able to set a several paramater values by using the following syntax:
ReportObject.SetParameterValue("ParameterName1", ParameterValue1);
ReportObject.SetParameterValue("ParameterName2", ParameterValue2);
ReportObject.SetParameterValue("ParameterName3", ParameterValue3);
ReportObject.SetParameterValue("ParameterName4", ParameterValue4);
Issue #1:
Each time I run the application sometimes the report will display with the report data and parameter values; Other times, just before the report displays, it will prompt me to "Enter Parameter Value".
How do I prevent this dialog box from displaying so that the programmed parameter values will display instead?
Issue #2:
When the Refresh button on the Viewer control menu is clicked a dialog box prompts ask if the new parameter values should be used or to use the old parameter values.
How do I prevent this dialog box from displaying and refresh the paramater values?
I know that there is a ReuseParameterWhenRefresh property that's part of the ViewCore class but I'm not sure how to use it to eleviate the issue I'm having on the refresh.
Any help that can be provided with this most urgent matter (on my part of course) would be most appreciated.

Displaying the date in dd/mm/yyyy format

Hi,
In VC 7.1, Whenever the user selects the date from the calender it is displayed in mm/dd/yyyy format .but i want it to be displayed in dd/mm/yyyy format.please help me.
Regards,
Priya
Edited by: priya on Oct 7, 2008 11:01 AM

Hi
Try using the DSTR Dynamic Expression function. Add a string field to your form or table and format it using the DSTR function.
It should look something like "=DSTR(@CREAT_DATE,"DD/MM/YYYY")"
You can find more information about date conversion functions in the [Date and Time Functions help page|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/2b/6c37121f28462a8710c0c7493506dd/frameset.htm]

SSRS Matrix report to show or hide year column based on parameter value "Date" selected.

Hey experts!
I have a requirement an ssrs matrix report should display columns (year/s) based on parameter value (date/s).
My Dataset fileds are: Product, Year_name, Month_name, Date
Currently my report output looks like this-
Param Date: 2013-08-01 00:00:0.000
Product +Calender2011 +Calender2012 -Calender 2013........ +Calender2014
Total

10 20 30....... 20 250 400
Xyz 110
200 50 80 40....... 30 450 600
My requirement: if I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2013-xx-xx' I should only able to see Year column 'Calender2013' and rest of the years should hide. Similarly If I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2014-xx-xx' I should only able to
see Year column 'Calender2014' .
Appreciate your kindly help.
Afan

Hi Afan,
According to your description, you want to only show the selected year on your report, right?
In this case, you need to get the year from the date parameter using the expression below
=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
And then use the expression below to get the year from Year_Name field.
=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)
Then add a filter to the dataset to filter the data like below
Expression:=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
Operator:=
Value:=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)

Read Query String Parameter Value in SSRS

Hi,
We have Project Server 2010 and Sharepoint Server 2010 env and using SSRS 2008 R2 for reporting purpose in Native mode.
Here I am displaying the SSRS Project report in Project Server page using Report Viewer web part like below.
Here I want to read projuid query string parameter value (Highlighthed above in URL ) in SSRS by using any way, so that I can pass that
projuid value in my SSRS report parameter to filter and make this report dynamic.
Right now I have to select the ProjectName (Label) which passes ProjUID
as value from the Parameter, but I want it should read the projuid
from URL so that this reports will display the project the data for the opened Project automatically
Thanks and let me know in case we can achive this using OOTB or some custom functions.

Hi,
For the report parameter, you can get the value from database query or some embedded funcitons etc. or even some customerized function.
You may consider to create your own code for the report to read the projuid from application or URL. The customer code can be used to get the values from the applicaiton or from the url etc. Then report can call the customer code function to get the value.

Retrieve All records and display in Report using CAML query in Report Builder if Parameter value is blank

Hello Experts,
i have created a report where i have one parameter field where user will pass parameter(e.g. EmpId). As per parameter record will fetched to report if no parameter is passed then it will display all records. I have done it by taking SqlServer Database as datasource.
by using Following method
Now i would like to do it by taking Sharepoint List as Datasource. For that what would be the CAML Query.
Here is my existing CAML query.
<RSSharePointList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<ListName>Employees</ListName>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<FieldRef Name="FirstName" />
<FieldRef Name="LastName" />
<FieldRef Name="FullName" />
<FieldRef Name="UserName" />
<FieldRef Name="Company" />
</ViewFields>
<Query>
<Where>
<Eq>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">
<Parameter Name="EmployeeId"/>
</Value>
</Eq>
</Where>
</Query>
</RSSharePointList>
The above code is working if i am passing an employeeId to Parameter. If nothing is passed, it is Not retrieving any record.
Please suggest
Thank you

Your problem follows the well-established pattern of using an "All" parameter filter in SSRS. There are a few approaches depending on the size of your data. The easiest one is to return all data from CAML and then filter it within SSRS, the following thread
provides some examples,
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/18203317/show-all-records-some-records-based-on-parameter-value.
Other options include passing all of the possible values within the CAML query when "All" is selected, using multiple Report Files to distinguish between both CAML queries, or to use multiple datasets with some logic to show/hide the correct one.

Ssrs 2008 r2 using parameter values

In an existing ssrs 2008 r2 report, I have a requirement from a user where they want to add 2 more parameters to the report. Right now there is an option where the user can choice to generate report1, report2, report3, report4, report5, report6, report7,
report8, and/or any combination of the reports I just listed.
This is setup by using an expression in the visibility property for each of the 8 tablixes.
For your information, the following is an example of how to display one of the reports or not:
=iif(InStr(join(Parameters!report.Value,","),6)>0,false,true)
Now the user wants to be able to add the parameters of customer and inventory_item based upon if report7 and/or or report8 is selected.
Now can you tell me the following:
1. Would you show me the code I can use in the dataset to select report7 and/or report8?
2. If the above is not possible to select specific reports, then would the dataset query need to look something like: where @report is null or where @report is not null? What would you suggest?

Hi midnight_car,
According to your description, you have specified visibility for each tablix in a report with IIF() function. When you select 7 or 8, you want to add an additional parameter to filter displayed tablixes, right?
In Reporting Services, since we can’t specify the visibility of a parameter as an expression, we could add a cascading parameter. When the first value is 7 or 8, then selected values from the cascading parameter can filter the displayed tablixes. Please
refer to steps below:
1. Sample data.
2. Create a new dataset with the query below:
select distinct SalesTerritoryRegion as region from dbo.DimSalesTerritory
where SalesTerritoryRegion=
case when 3 in (@report)or 4 in (@report)
then SalesTerritoryRegion
else 'NA' end
3. Specify the parameter @region using the new dataset.
4. Query in main dataset like below:
select SalesTerritoryRegion as region,SalesTerritoryCountry as country,SalesTerritoryGroup as [group] from dbo.DimSalesTerritory
where SalesTerritoryRegion= case when 3 in (@report) or 4 in (@report)
then @region
else
SalesTerritoryRegion end
4. Preview the report.

Ssrs 2012 change parameter values

In an existing SSRS 2012 report, I have a requirement for a user to be able to select by multiple school(s) and/or multiple grade(s). This is fine except certain schools like elementary have grade levels of KG to 06, Middle school has grades of 06 to 09
and high school has grades of 10 to 12. Thus for example, if a user has initially selected grades 11 and 12 and then they select an elementary school that has grades KG through 06, the 'grade level' selection would need to change.
In other words, I am thinking of initially having the available and default values for the parameter called 'Grade' set to KG through 12. However if a school is selected that only has specific grade levels like elementary school, how can I override
the original grade level and only allow the user to select grades that the particular school contains?

Hi Wendy,
Per my understanding that you have two multiple value parameters "School" and "Grade", you have specify the available values and default values for these two parameters, now you want to value which displayed in the
dropdown list of Grade depende on the selection in the School parameter, right?
I have tested on my local environment and you can create cascading parameter for Grade, for example, when you select "Elementary" in the School the grade dropdown list will display "1,2,3,4,5", when you select the "Middle",
the grade will display "6,7,8,9", when you select the "High", the grade will display "10,11,12".
If this is case, please reference to the details information below to achieve this:
1. Create an new dataset2 and use the query below to get the values from this query for the parameter School:
select distinct a.School from
(SELECT 'Elementary' AS School, 1 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS School, 2 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS School, 3 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS School, 4 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS School, 5 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS School, 6 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS School, 7 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS School, 8 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS School, 9 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS School, 10 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS School, 11 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS School, 12 AS grade)a
2. Create the dataset3 and use below query to get the values from this query for the parameter grade:
SELECT a.grade
FROM (
SELECT 'Elementary' AS school, 1 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS school, 2 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS school, 3 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS school, 4 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Elementary' AS school, 5 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS school, 6 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS school, 7 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS school, 8 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'Middle' AS school, 9 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS school, 10 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS school, 11 AS grade
UNION
SELECT 'High' AS school, 12 AS grade) AS a
where a.school in (@School)
3. Create two parameters "School" and "Grade" check the "Allow Multiple Values" and also set the "Availble values" and "Default values" by select the "Get values from a query" as below:
4. Preview as below:

How to find the average of table row values it should display in next row in libwindow/CVI

Hi,
How to find the average of table row values it should display in next row in libwindow/CVI
Please let me know the solution.

There isn't a built-in function to perform calculations on thable cells. What you can do is to retrieve thable cells values and calculate the average by yourself.
To retrieve a bunch of cells in a single instruction you can use GetTableCellRangeVals: prerequisite for this function to work correctly is that cells are all included in a Rect structure (shortly, a rectangle) and are all of the same data type. See the help for the function for some explanations and the link to an example of its usage. In Cell range parameter you can pass VAL_TABLE_ROW_RANGE (row) macro to retrieve an entire row. See here for details.
Once you have retrieved cell values in an array, you can pass it to Mean function to calculate the average.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

Need Help: Dynamically displaying parameter values for a procedure.

Problem Statement: Generic Code should display the parameter values dynamically by taking "package name" and "procedure name" as inputs and the values needs to be obtained from the parameters of the wrapper procedure.
Example:
a) Let us assume that there is an application package called customer.
create or replace package spec customer
as
begin
TYPE cust_in_rec_type IS RECORD
cust_id NUMBER,
,cust_name VARCHAR2(25) );
TYPE cust_role_rec_type IS RECORD
(cust_id NUMBER,
role_type VARCHAR2(20)
TYPE role_tbl_type IS TABLE OF cust_role_rec_type INDEX BY BINARY_INTEGER;
Procedure create_customer
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles role_tbl_type
end;
b) Let us assume that we need to test the create customer procedure in the package.For that various test cases needs to be executed.
c) We have created a testing package as mentioned below.
create or replace package body customer_test
as
begin
-- signature of this wrapper is exactly same as create_customer procedure.
procedure create_customer_wrapper
p_code in varchar2
,p_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type
,p_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type
as
begin
//<<<<<---Need to display parameter values dynamically for each test case-->>>>>
Since the signature of this wrapper procedure is similar to actual app procedure, we can get all the parameter definition for this procedure using ALL_ARGUMENTS table as mentioned below.
//<<
select * from ALL_ARGUMENTS where package_name = CUSTOMER' and object_name = 'CREATE_CUSTOMER'
but the problem is there are other procedures exists inside customer package like update_customer, add_address so need to have generalized code that is independent of each procedure inside the package.
Is there any way to achieve this.
Any help is appreciated.
// >>>>
create_customer
p_code => p_code
,p_cust_rec => p_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => p_cust_roles
end;
procedure testcase1
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 1;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'ABC';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 1;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role1';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code1'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
procedure testcase2
as
l_cust_rec customer.cust_in_rec_type ;
l_cust_roles customer.role_tbl_type;
begin
l_cust_rec.cust_id := 2;
l_cust_rec.cust_name := 'DEF';
l_cust_roles(1).cust_id := 2;
l_cust_roles(1).role_type := 'Role2';
create_customer_wrapper
p_code => 'code2'
,p_cust_rec => l_cust_rec
,p_cust_roles => l_cust_role
end;
end;

Not possible to dynamically in a procedure, deal with the parameter values passed by a caller. There is no struct or interface that a procedure can use to ask the run-time to give it the value of the 1st or 2nd or n parameter.
There could perhaps be some undocumented/unsupported method - as debugging code (<i>DBMS_DEBUG</i>) is able to dynamically reference a variable (see Get_Value() function). But debugging requires a primary session (the debug session) and the target session (session being debugged).
So easy answer is no - the complex answer is.. well, complex as the basic functionality for this do exists in Oracle in its DBMS_DEBUG feature, but only from a special debug session.
The easiest way would be to generate the wrapper itself, dynamically. This allows your to generate code that displays the parameter values and add whatever other code needed into the wrapper. The following example demonstrates the basics of this approach:
SQL> -- // our application proc called FooProc
SQL> create or replace procedure FooProc( d date, n number, s varchar2 ) is

SSAS report action to pass multi-value list of dimention key values to a SSRS report parameter

This was originally posted on StackOverflow and suggested I try here as well.
I want to create a report action in an SSAS OLAP cube that generates a list of formatted values to pass into an SSRS report parameter that accepts a multi-valued parameter list. This would be applied at the
cell level in the SSAS action. I have found a solution that gets me most of the way:
How to Pass Multiple Values from an SSAS Report Drill Through Action to an SSRS Multi-Value Parameter, but not quite. The action does appear in Excel and works
if I run the action from a cell that is at or below the dimension attribute I am generating the list for, in this case,
Account Key.
Below is a link to a screen capture (unable to embed it due to lack of reputation) showing the action and dimension structure in Excel. The action works as long as I run it at the
Account Key level or below. I want to be able to run it at higher levels, such as
Account Major and still have it generate all then related Account Key values for the SSRS report parameter. Running it at the higher
Account Major level does not trigger the report to run.

Below is the MDX I am using to generate the value for the report parameter:
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS(
[Account].[Account Key].CurrentMember,
[Account].[Account Key].[Account Key]
[Account].[Account Key].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Account="
I am hoping that I can somehow modify the MDX above to make it return all the
Account Keys for any attribute of the Account dimension when ran from any measure cell, not just when ran at self and children of
Account Key in the pivot table.
Also, if it helps, I can execute the following MDX query on the cube and get the results I am looking for.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Account Key List] as
GENERATE(
DESCENDANTS([Account].[Account].CurrentMember, [Account].[Account].[Account]),
[Account].[Account].CURRENTMEMBER.NAME,
"&rp:Account=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Account Key List]} on 0,
([Account].[Account Company Number].[Account Company Number],[Account].[Account Major].[Account Major]
) on 1
FROM [Company 10 Action Demo]
Below are partial results:
10.116&rp:Account=10.116.010
10.117&rp:Account=10.117.010&rp:Account=10.117.020
10.120&rp:Account=10.120.005&rp:Account=10.120.006&rp:Account=10.120.010&rp:Account=10.120.020&rp:Account=10.120.030&rp:Account=10.120.040&rp:Account=10.120.050&rp:Account=10.120.060&rp:Account=10.120.380&rp:Account=10.120.999
10.123
Questions
Any ideas what I might need to do to get Account Key to be returned for any attribute of the
Account dimension?
Would I possibly have to alter my Account dimension in the cube to get this to work?
Thanks in advance.
Edit 1 - Adventure Works Cube Version
I was unable to get the suggested answer with the "Exists" function to work. To better demonstrate this issue, I have recreated it using the Adventure Works Cube.
I will focus on the Customer dimension, specifically the Customer and
Education attributes. I created a report action called Test Report Action. Below is the XML created for it in the cube.
<Action xsi:type="ReportAction" dwd:design-time-name="f35ad5ee-5167-4fb8-a0e0-0a74cc6e81c6">
<ID>Report Action 1</ID>
<Name>Test Report Action</Name>
<TargetType>Cells</TargetType>
<Target></Target>
<Type>Report</Type>
<ReportServer>SQLSERVER</ReportServer>
<Path>ReportServer?/Test Report</Path>
<ReportParameters>
<ReportParameter>
<Name>Test Customer Existing</Name>
<Value>UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTING DESCENDANTS(
[Customer].[Customer].CurrentMember,
[Customer].[Customer].[Customer]
[Customer].[Customer].CURRENTMEMBER.Name,
"&rp:Customer="
)</Value>
</ReportParameter>
</ReportParameters>
<ReportFormatParameters>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Command</Name>
<Value>Render</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
<ReportFormatParameter>
<Name>rs:Renderer</Name>
<Value>HTML5</Value>
</ReportFormatParameter>
</ReportFormatParameters>
</Action>
Below are the steps to re-create the issue.
Connect to the cube in Excel
Add dimension Customer -> More Fields -> Customer
Add measure Internet Sales -> Internet Sales Amount
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action" and see customer values created for URL
When the action is ran at this point with Customer, I see the values created in the URL shown message box (since there is no SSRS report server at location specified).
Now the part I'm unable to resolve
Remove the Customer dimension and add Customer -> Demographic -> Education
Right-click Internet Sales Amount cell, select "Additional Actions" -> "Test Report Action"
Nothing happens. If I ran the action on the cell next to "Bachelors", I would want it to build up all the list of all the "Customers" that make up the "Bachelors" in the
Customer dimension as part of the report parameter. If no attributes where used in the cube from the
Customer dimension for that cell, then I would like it to return "All Customers", or something similar to show that all customers are included in the aggregations.
I am not too MDX savvy, thus far. I think I need to somehow join the
Customers to Internet Sales Amount in the Generate function portion. I have tried several different combinations of the
Customer dimension and Internet Sales Amount, along with various functions to see if I could get this to work with no success. I am hoping that someone more knowledgeable the me will have a solution. If you need more details,
please ask and I will provide them.

Simon,
Thanks for you help with this. This morning I found a workaround. Below describes what that is.
What I ended up doing was getting a list of values from a degenerate dimension that I could use to pass to SSRS to get a list of transactions for a report. Below is how I did this, in relation to the Adventure Works cube using the degenerate dimension
Internet Order Details.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Order Param List] AS
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
SELECT {[Measures].[Order Param List], [Measures].[Internet Sales Amount]} ON 0
,([Date].[Calendar].[Date]) ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
This will get a list of Sales Order Number in a text string, separated by "&rp:OrderNum=" for each measure of
Internet Sales. This would allow me to create an SSRS report to bring back detail information for each
Sales Order Number. Below are some sample results.
May 16, 2007 SO50493&rp:OrderNum=SO50494&rp:OrderNum=SO50495&rp:OrderNum=SO50496&rp:OrderNum=SO50497&rp:OrderNum=SO50498&rp:OrderNum=SO50499&rp:OrderNum=SO50500 $12,157.80
May 17, 2007 SO50501&rp:OrderNum=SO50502&rp:OrderNum=SO50503&rp:OrderNum=SO50504&rp:OrderNum=SO50505&rp:OrderNum=SO50506&rp:OrderNum=SO50507&rp:OrderNum=SO50508 $13,231.62
May 18, 2007 SO50509&rp:OrderNum=SO50510 $4,624.91
With this, I can then create a Report Action in SSRS with a Parameter Value of
UrlEscapeFragment(
GENERATE(
EXISTS([Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].[Sales Order Number].Members, ,
"Internet Sales"),
[Internet Sales Order Details].[Sales Order Number].CurrentMember.Name,
"&rp:OrderNum=")
The way I was going about it before was flawed, as I was trying to get a list of the granular values from each dimension used to build the measure value and pass each one of those as separate parameters. I just needed to set something unique for each fact
measure transaction that represents the value and uses that in a query parameter for the SSRS report.

SSRS passing multiple values parameter

Hi ,
I have a multi select parameter that get values from a query in my SSRS report. The report works fine if i select a single value in drop down list. When trying to select All or select a multiple value i got an error. Any help is very much appreciated.
thank you.
By the way, i'm using Query type text not an stored procedure.
Data in my @LineID parameter drop down list
Select All
Line1
Line2
Line3
up to Line15
I tried this approach and its not working. In dataset properties under parameter value expression, i made this approach
=Join(parameter!Lineid.value,",") or =parameter!Lineid.value
My Query:
Select * from sample
Where pt.Asuprodlineid IN (@LineID)

1) You don't need to use JOIN in rdl pass simply "=parameter!Lineid.value".
2) And modify your query with below mentioned.
select * from sample where pt.Asuprodlineid (SELECT WG.Param FROM fn_MVParam(@LineID) WG).
It works for me.

SSRS Datetime Parameter value should display in DD/MM/YYYY format
