SSRS Geographic Report

Question

I have an SSRS report based on Geographic Locations.  The datasets return project records, with a regional area, electoral area and then a city level.  I have created cascading parameters from region to electoral and then to city. 
However, each project can have multiple cities under an electoral region selected.  The user is requesting that the parameter filter
only records that have that city selected.  So, if the parameter selected are:
Region: RDEK Region
Area: City of Cranbrook
City: (Options are Cranbrook and Rockyview)
If they select only "Cranbrook", they want only project records that have
onlyCranbrook selected and not projects that have Cranbrook and Rockyview selected. 
Right now my report results will show all records with Cranbrook selected and other cities that are selected on the Project.  For example, I would see
all projects with Cranbrook selected and all projects that have Cranbrook and Rockyview selected. 
Below is some more detail of my report.
Grouped by Regional, Electoral Area and Project Number.
Parameters : 
@Regional - Available values from Regional Dataset (selecting all available)
@Area - Available values from Electoral Area Dataset (selecting all available in @Regional)
@City - Available values from City Dataset (selecting all values in @area)
@Status - All available statuses
@Fiscal Year - All available Fiscal years.
I have a Filter on my details Dataset Query (below) that filters only those cities in my
@city parameter.
PLEASE HELP! I AM STUCK...
My dataset query:
SELECT Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralareaidname
, Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_name AS City
, Filteredcbt_project.cbt_projectnumber
, Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralidname

INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea ON Filteredcbt_project.cbt_projectid = Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea.cbt_projectid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_geographicarea ON Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea.cbt_geographicareaid = Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_geographicareaid
ON Filteredcbt_electoralarea.cbt_electoralareaid = Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralareaid
WHERE (Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralareaidname IN (@Area)) AND (Filteredcbt_project.statuscodename IN (@Status)) AND
(Filteredcbt_projectfiscalyear.cbt_fiscalyearidname IN (@FiscalYear)) AND (Filteredcbt_regionaldistrict.cbt_name IN (@Regional)) AND
(Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_name IN (@City)) AND (NOT EXISTS
(SELECT cbt_electoralareaid, cbt_electoralareaidname, cbt_electoralid, cbt_electoralidname, cbt_geographicareaid, cbt_name
FROM Filteredcbt_geographicarea AS ga1
WHERE (cbt_name NOT IN (@City)) AND (cbt_geographicareaid = Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea.cbt_geographicareaid)))
ORDER BY Filteredcbt_projectfiscalyear.cbt_fiscalyearidname
ORDER BY Filteredcbt_projectfiscalyear.cbt_fiscalyearidname;
I have some examples that might help understand:
Each Project record can have multiple regions, areas and cities tagged to it. 
For the purposes of this report, we want to parse out only the city selected in the parameter.
When I use the cascading parameters, for regional, electoral and then city, it will always bring up in my available listing Cranbrook and Rockyview (which is correct). 
If I check off both Cranbrook and Rockyview, I would like to see all projects that have cranbrook only, rockyview only and cranbrook and rockyview selected.
For example, my report below, I have selected the region, and electoral area of Cranbrook, then in the city parameter, the available listing is Cranbrook and Rockyview (Great!). 
In Figure 1, I have selected both Cranbrook and Rockyview.  This shows 3 projects , 2 projects have both cranbrook and rockyview tagged, and 1 project only has Cranbrook selected. Perfect!
Figure 1
Now, in figure 3,
I have selected the region, and electoral area of Cranbrook, then I chose
only Cranbrook  city.  All 3 projects still come up, but I
distinctly want only those projects tagged
just with Cranbrook. 
So in figure 2, I should see only project #3426 come up in my listing. But they all display..

Thank you for help on this matter!  I cannot get an answer anywhere and really
need to figure this out! Let me know if I can include anything else!

Answer 1

Hi adminup31,
According to your description, there is an SSRS report with cascading parameters, when you select Cranbrook, corresponding project records will be displayed in the report. The problem you are facing is that after you selected values for city parameter, all
the records of project will be displayed in the report.
To solve the problem, please refer to the following steps:
  1. Create a dataset for city parameter with the query like below:
SELECT distinct Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_name AS City
FROM Filteredcbt_regionaldistrict
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_electoralarea ON Filteredcbt_regionaldistrict.cbt_regionaldistrictid = Filteredcbt_electoralarea.cbt_regionaldistrictid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_category
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_program ON Filteredcbt_category.cbt_categoryid = Filteredcbt_program.cbt_categoryid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_project ON Filteredcbt_program.cbt_programid = Filteredcbt_project.cbt_programnameid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_projectfiscalyear ON Filteredcbt_project.cbt_projectid = Filteredcbt_projectfiscalyear.cbt_projectnameid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea ON Filteredcbt_project.cbt_projectid = Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea.cbt_projectid
INNER JOIN Filteredcbt_geographicarea ON Filteredcbt_cbt_project_cbt_geographicarea.cbt_geographicareaid = Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_geographicareaid
ON Filteredcbt_electoralarea.cbt_electoralareaid = Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralareaid
WHERE
(Filteredcbt_regionaldistrict.cbt_name IN (@Regional)) AND (Filteredcbt_geographicarea.cbt_electoralareaidname IN (@Area))
  2. Right-click @City and open Parameter Properties dialog box.
  3. Click Default Values in left pane, select Get values from a query, select Dataset and Value type from drop down list.
For more information about Cascading parameter, please refer to the following document:

If the problem remain unresolved, i would appreciate it if you could give us detailed information about the state of the report, I would be appreciated it if you could provide sample data and screenshot of the report, it will help us move more quickly toward
a solution.
