SSRS report - A single selection dropdown list converted to text box

Hello everyone,
We created a single selection dropdown parameter (City parameter) on a report. The data in this parameter is populated using MDX query. Also, it is filtered based on selection of another single selection dropdown list (Country parameter) of a report.
The problem is when there is no cities for the selected country the dropdown list is gets converted to free type text box and user can insert city data in it. Why SSRS is not keeping it as empty dropdown list with no data?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hello Charlie,
We developed a fresh report only with two parameters but still the dropdown control gets converted to text box in our case. We have two single selection parameters, Location and Customers. Based on selected Location the customer
dropdown gets populated.
Location Parameter Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Location].[Location Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Location].[Location Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM [Model]
Customer Query
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS
[Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Customer].[Customer Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel],[Measures].[Amt]} ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([Customer].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS,[Measures].[Amt]) ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@LocationName, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Model])
Regarding parameter settings on General tab for both the above parameters we did not select any of the following values, all these checkboxes are empty:
Allow Blank Value ("") , Allow null value, Allow multiple values.
I think it has something related to [Measures].[Amt] that we used in customer parameter. We are now trying to take other two parameters where we would be not using the [Measures].[Amt] to filter the data. Will update you soon.

SSRS Report with mutli select values in parameters

Hi All,
I am creating a SSRS report and displaying the result in tablix. I want to make the report to filter by multi select values from the parameters.
I have 3 parameters. For all the three parameters, I have set "Default Values" and "Available Values". Also, modified my result dataset to get the values from parameters using "WHERE ID = @Parameter1" (example) and so
on..
3 Parameters types: 1. Yes or No
2. Date 3. Values with NULL in the DB
Problems:
1. When I am passing the default values "Yes" "No" - it is throwing errors because default values is passed as Yes "AND" No instead of "OR" condition. The value stored in the DB wil have either Yes or No but not both.
2. When I am querying the date values, it is a DateTime field in the DB. But I have queried like SELECT CONVERT(DATE, EXE_DATE) AS DATE FROM table which is giving only date in SQL but in SSRS displaying date with time.
3. When I pull the list of values for third Parameter from SQL, it has some NULL values. When I try to use it in SSRS, it is not displaying the NULL value as select option in the list of values
Any suggestions for the above three problems for SSRS with multi select values as filter will be helpful.
Maruthu | My Blog

Hi Maruthi,
Regarding the three things:
1.) I believe your first parameter is mutliselect , please convert it to single select.
Steps:
a.) Select the parameter, right click and go to parameter properties
b.) Under General Tab in DataType section remove the checkbox for Allow Multiple Value.
2.) Instead of returning as the date please return string. For example :
SELECT CONVERT(VARCHAR, GETDATE(),101)
Here is the list of conversion : http://www.sqlusa.com/bestpractices/datetimeconversion/
3.) As such there is no concept of null in SSRS. (Its a relational concept) . We do have nothing , which means empty. In Order to use null please select the Allow null option in the DataType section of the Parameter, This will add an checkbox for null in
the report preview. Its developer job to handle the null values in there query.

Passing Values to a dropdown list within a dialog box

I am using the app.execDialog(dialog1) command to display a dialog box on my form. The dialog box contains dropdown list (popup). I have found examples that do this but in all the examples they reference the loadDefaults function with hardcoded values.
For example:
loadDefaults: function (dialog)
dialog.load(
subl:
"Acrobat Standard": "111",
"Adobe Reader": "222"
Does anyone know if there is a way to pass values into the loadDefaults via a variable etc.. I can get the data I want to populate the dropdown with but I cant figure out how to load it into the control.
Thanks
Ken

Hi scamp, not sure what you're asking. What do you mean by "pass" fields from one list to another? If you need information in list 1 to show in list 2, just create lookup columns in the SharePoint list. If you mean you want to add columns to
list 2 automatically, you'll need to make a designer workflow for that.

Values from listbox to appear as a list in a text box.

I am using Acrobat X to create a PDF form. I have a listbox where multiple selections can be made and need these export values to appear in a text box as a list with one value per line. I have managed to get the values to appear in the text box, however they are appearing in a continuous line separated by a comma. I have very little knowledge of Java Script and would appreciate any assistance.

A better option is to use this code (the reason it's better is because one of the values can contain a comma, and then it will be split with the code above):
var v = this.getField("Awards").value;
if (typeof v == "string") event.value = v;
else event.value = v.join("\r");

Get the value from dropdown list (selectedIndex) and text field -- not working

Hi All,
I am trying to find and change by the values selected by user using dropdown and text field. Here is the code.
ChangeRevDetails();
function ChangeRevDetails(){
          var myDialog = app.dialogs.add({name:"Enter copyright information"});
//    var monthlist = col1.dropdowns.add('myList', undefined, myList);
          var col1 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
          var col2 = myDialog.dialogColumns.add();
    col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Month:"});
          col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Year:"});
    col1.staticTexts.add({staticLabel:"Rev. no.:"});
    var myList = [ "January", "February", "March", "April", "March", "April", "May", "June", "July", "August", "Sepetember", "October", "November", "December" ];
     var myMonth = col2.dropdowns.add({stringList:myList, selectedIndex:0, minWidth:100});//{minWidth:100});
     var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
     var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
    var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
    var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
    var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
    var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
    var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;
    var myResult = myDialog.show();
        if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
        alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
        ChangeRevDetails();
        else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
            alert (RevMonth);
            alert (RevYear);
            alert (RevNumber);
            alert (RevToReplace1);
            alert (RevToReplace2);
            app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            // grep find/change
            app.findGrepPreferences = app.changeGrepPreferences = null;
            app.findGrepPreferences.findWhat = "[\\l\\u]+?\\s?\\d{4},?\\s+[\\l\\u]+\\.*\\s+\\d+";
            app.findGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
            app.changeGrepPreferences.changeTo = RevToReplace1;
            app.changeGrepPreferences.appliedParagraphStyle = app.activeDocument.paragraphStyleGroups.item("Back page"). paragraphStyles.item("Legal_7/9");
            app.activeDocument.changeGrep();
            app.findGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
            app.changeGrepPreferences = NothingEnum.nothing;
    else //implies user clicked cancel
    myDialog.destroy();
The problem is, it is not taking the value which the user selects from the dropdown and the text field. It takes the default value as "January" and the year is "2013" as both of these values are given as selectedIndex:0 and editContents:"2013". I have compared the coding with some other working scripts as well, but it is not working. I have added several alert boxes to check the value we get.
Also, the find and change is also not working. Please help me on this. Thanks.
Regards,
Muthuraj. D

Change the order for dialogresults:
var myYear = col2.textEditboxes.add({editContents:"2013", minWidth:100});
var MyRev = col2.textEditboxes.add({minWidth:100});
var myResult = myDialog.show();
if(myYear.editContents == "") //entry is ""
alert("Please enter some text into the contents field.");
ChangeRevDetails();
else if(myResult == true) //user entered datas
var RevMonth = (myList [myMonth.selectedIndex]);
var RevYear = myYear.editContents;
var RevNumber = MyRev.editContents;
var RevToReplace1 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear;
var RevToReplace2 = RevMonth +", "+ RevYear + " Rev. " + RevNumber;
didn't have a look for the find change problem

Selection Variable - List Key and Text filtered by master data attribute.

Hi Gang,
Is there a way to create a selection variable on a master data InfoObject, so that only a subset set of values (Key and Text) is presented to users, based on an attribute of that InfoObject?
For example, can we create a selction variable for raw materials so the we display 0MATERIAL key and text for selection, where material type = ROH ?
Our users don't want to wade through all values for all materials.
Thanks for your help,
John Hawk

Hi,
yes you can do it, you need to set type as navigational attribute in you infocube, and you will get type as characteristic in designer so you can modify it as requirement.
hope it helps

Font dropdown to change dynamic text box?

Hello, pretty new to Flex... well very! First Day! The MXML
seems pretty simple enough but having some trouble i guess on the
actionscript side! I want to create a very cut down version of a
text editor. Very cut down! 2 textboxes one input the other
dynamic... type some text in one it outputs to the other. Easy! but
now i want to add a drop down with embeded fonts... ive embeded my
fonts and there working fine. But i want to apply each font style
to my options in the drop down (bit like the system fonts drop down
examples you see) im making my combobox from an ArrayCollection
with aload of Strings. i also want a function to change the font
type on my dynamic textbox from a dropdown option click="" if that
makes sense. Bit confused think i might b looking into it to
deeply. Its just simple for a customized car license plate
builder... i want them to have the ability to enter there
registration and change the font and color etc. Can anyone point me
or show me something im a bit flexed out... sure im being silly
about this!

Check out your Text Frame Options - select the frame and go to Object>Text Frame Options
Then go to the Baseline Tab
Then check out the First Baseline Option - and turn on the preview to view your changes.
That will give you the option to have X height, Cap Height, accent etc.
If you want to get right out the edge of a frame on the left side then check out the Window>Types and Tables>Story and turn on optical alignment, that will allow punctuation to hang out side the text frame, not only that but the arms of "T" and letters like that will also extend past the frame edge, with a negative value.

Why "Text fames are not supported and were converted to text boxes"

Hi All, I help to my cousin. He wanted to open a Word file what had a header.
This header is a doc file and was written probably with Microsoft Windows by somebody else. All was shifted very right.
Is there anyway set it to see well the Pages?
Thank for any advise.
laci

Pages isn't a perfect converter of Word documents. They are differently coded. Some documents opens well but some don't.
You could try opening the document in LibreOffice, a free clone of MS Office.

Converting a text box to graphic

I'm trying to copy a text box into Preview to handle it as an image. I thought I used to be able to simply copy an image from Pages, go into Preview, Open New, and paste from the clipboard. This time it's not working. In Preview, New From Clipboard is enabled, but it results in a blank page.
Also I'm not sure what format would provide the best resolution for text. I'm trying to make this bit of text an image that I can use as a layer to create a larger image to use as a greeting card in iPhoto.

karenr wrote:
Thanks, that's exactly what I did, but oddly, the Preview window still comes up blank. There is definitely text in the text box in Pages, and I can paste it successfully into other apps such as Text Edit.
I ended up copying it into a photo app and creating a jpeg, but I know I should be able to copy the image directly from Pages, and have actually done it successfully in the past.
I tried the procedure with other images in Pages and it works fine, so it has to be something about the properties of this particular text box. I'll play around with that.
Karen,
When you Copy in Pages before going to Preview.app, make sure you are copying the Text Box Object and not the text layer within the Text Box. To do this click off the text box, then click once on the text box such that the corner handles are showing, and only then Command-C.

SSRS report with tabular model – Create a dropdown report parameter with "None" option as the top value.

Hello Everyone,
I would like to create SSRS single select dropdown list parameter (it is using MDX query in dataset) with "None" option at the top. Note: this parameter is dependent parameter and getting filtered based on the selection of another parameter.
How can I add hard-coded "None" text at the top of the parameter values? Can Union function help me to add this hard-coded value? The purpose is, when user selects None from the dropdown ignore the condition of the parameter from MDX query else
use the selected value in query condition.

Hi Ankit,
In your scenario, you can achieve your requirement in report level other than in query. Add a Filter like:
Expression: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Fields!Name.Value)
Operator:=
Value: =IIF(Parameters!Name.Value="None",1,Parameters!Name.Value)
In this case, report will ignore this parameter, and show all the records on the report when selecting “None” value. I have tested it on my local environment, the screenshots below are for you reference.

Customizing MSS reporting selection period dropdown list

We have diffrent ABAP programs that uses the PNP logical database and we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the MSS reporting iview. In same scenarios we want to display only 'Today'. In these scenarios we use the report together with a variant.
When the user execute the report, the selection period on the variant is used and that is 100% correct. The problem is that the user change the selection period on the frontend (on the Iview) and this is not what is reflected on the output of the report, becasue the report uses a variant.
Therefore we want to customize the period selection dropdown list on the Iviewin the scenarios where a report uses a variant.
I know that we cannot customize the perido selction on the Iview, beacue we cannot set the properties on the Iview.
Is anybody familiar with how we can accomplish this.

We do have a property in the iview for which you can set the period. You need to know the name of the property. Give us the iview name so that we can have a look.

"Dynamic List Box with Single Selection" Survey Suite in CRM 6.0

Hi
I am using CRM 6.0. There in Survey Suite there are 2 answering options "Dynamic List Box with Single Selection" & "Dynamic List Box with Multiple Selection". I am able to make out, how we can assign values to this. I have seen example "Example_Dynamic_survey" also.
I believe we have to use programming for populating this. But how do we have to carry that out.
Thanx and Regards
Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
There is no need of programming for populating values for Answer category 'List Box with Single Selection' or 'List Box with Multiple Selection'. You have to follow the following steps to populate values for those:
- In the Answer Category select List Box with Single Selection from drop down list
- Then on left hand side tree, right click on Answer and select Insert Answer Option (Answer->Insert Answer Option)
- Then on right side, provide Text for the answer (value)
- To add more values, repeat the process Answer->Insert Answer Option and providing text for those answers in the right side.
Similarly you can populate values for 'List Box with Multiple Selection' also.
This has to be done in the transaction CRM_SURVEY_SUITE.
Hope this is clear to you

How to use the caseccading parameter in my ssrs report? with some scenioro?

Hi i have a complex report for that i am using the 3/4 parameters name list.

I guess u understand my requirement.
can you suggest me any help .....for the above requirement.
ThanX!

In your case you need to setup parameters like this
1. ProductId
Have a dataset which gives you list of productids. It should return atleast one field which would be the distinct productids from your table.
ie like
SELECT ProductID
FROM ProductTable
assuming ProductID is it Primary key
In report go to parameter properties for ProductId parameter
In Available Values tab choose the option Get values from query
Map the above dataset and choose value field name as ProductId and label also as the same
This will populate param 1 with values
2. Manufacturer
Have a dataset which gives you list of manufacturers. It should return atleast one field which would be the distinct manufacturer from your table.
ie like
SELECT Manufacturer
FROM ManufacturerTable m
WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM ProductTable
WHERE ProductId = @ProductId
AND Manufacturer = m.Manufacturer
assuming Manufacturer field has unique values. map @ProductId query parameter to SSRS parameter ProductId you created above
In report go to parameter properties for Manufacturer parameter and map the parameter to dataset as per same sequence of steps before
3. Product
Have a dataset which gives you list of manufacturers. It should return atleast one field which would be the distinct manufacturer from your table.
ie like
SELECT ProductName
FROM ProductTable m
WHERE ProductId = @ProductId
assuming Manufacturer field has unique values. map @ProductId query parameter to SSRS parameter ProductId you created above
In report go to parameter properties for ProductName parameter and map the parameter to dataset as per same sequence of steps before
Now if you run the report the values for Manufacturer and ProductName keeps on changing based on value you chose for productid parameter
