Unable To Pass Null Value With DropDownList Parameter In Reporting Services 2005
Dec 3, 2007
Hello,
I have a stored procedure that on two fields it allows null. On the report, I have two DropDownList boxes that are populated with data, however, I would like the user to be able to have the option of not selecting an item from these list, thus passing null to the stored procedure.
When I goto "Report | Report Parameters" I have set these fields to "allow null" and "allow blank" and at the bottom I also gave it the default value of null.
When I run the report in preview mode, those two dropdownlist have a <Select a Value> and my assumption is since I want them to pass null, I will just leave them that way. However, when the report is ran, I receive an error saying "Please select a value for the parameter: (my parameter)". So it forces me to select an option at which I don't want to do.
I am trying to build a Reporting Services report that reads data from SSIS package based on a parameter specified. In the RS report I created a parameter and added it to the dataset (no changes in data source though, only -f <path to dtsx file). In the SSIS package I created a user variable scoped to Package, in the default User userspace. No mapping has been done as I don't know where (and if) should I set it up. The problem is I get an error message when trying to view the report in RS saying "A requested parameter does not exists in the package".
Any help and/or ideas are appreciated, I couldn't find anything on "the internets"
In my report i have CNAME parameter , which allows null value. I checked Allow null value check box in report parameter properties.
when i preview the report , it displays checked NULL check box beside CNAME parameter . I want to give some meaningful name(i.e.ALLCustomers) to this checkbox instead of NULL.Â
I am creating simple report in ssrs and pass one parameter only. It will work perfectly (here user enter the parameter value). but i need that i should select the value in drop down box. i had tried many time and did different ways but I am unable to do it.
First i gave the parameter in my sql query in Data set (like WHERE COUNTRY = @COUNTRY) and i checked the Parameters tab in the data set. Here by default comes the Parameter Name: COUNTRY and Parameter value: [@COUNTRY].
Next i select COUNTRY Parameter in the Report Data Pane. and go to properties Here in General Tab: Name COUNTRY Prompt: COUNTRY, Select Get values from query in available values Tab (and also i tried with Select Get values from query in Default Value Tab) and Select Data set: Data Set1, Value field: COUNTRY and Label Field COUNTRY. And Click Ok
And tried to preview the report, it throwing below error
"An error Occured during local report processing. The definition of the report is invalid. The Report Parameter 'COUNTRY' has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter "COUNTRY". Forward dependencies are not valid.
How can I achieve dropdown list.What i missed? Even i unable to do it Multi valued parameters and Cascading parameters.
Actually i am working on SQL Express 2012 version.
1, 2 and 3 parameter are text inputs. 4th is multi-value parameter and 5th is again a text input. I need to Pass a blank parameter to my 5th parameter.
1) I tried the below Expression in the "UploadedEnt" DataSet Properties and not in the "Main" DataSet.
I have taken the actual sql query (file) and I have just placed the select statement.
DataSet Name: UploadedEntselect distinct UploadEnt from ( SELECT DISTINCT col1, col2... ....) Ent
Order by 1OR logic has been applied in the Tablix Properties Filters as an expression.=Fields!value1.Value like Parameters!value1Param.Value Or Fields!value2.Value like Parameters!value2Param.Value Or Fields!value3.Value like Parameters!value3Param.Value Or Fields!value4.Value = Parameters!value4Param.Value(0) Or Fields!UploadEnt.Value = Parameters!UploadedEntParam.ValueFilter: Expression = TRUE2) I tried applying NULL check box which works perfectly but I do not want to apply that here.How to Pass a Blank Parameter?
my dataset from sharepoint list. and this dataset value assign to parameter. i want when no any parameter is selected than it should filter like "ALL". when i select alow null value it give me prompt error you  can not select null in multivalue parameter.How can i do it. i am using share point list.
Is it possible to use a parameter in a ldap query using the ADsDSOObject provider? I keep getting an error "The ICommandWithParameters interface is not supported by the "ADSDSOObject" provider". Command parameters are unsupported with the current provider.
I don't have a linked server on my DB server to Active Directory so I'm just querying in the SSRS report design. Here is my query for my dataset. If I hard code an example it works. Just doesn't work when I pass a parameter. I've tried making it an expression (= sign), Tried several syntax's, Tried everything I can think of. Is this possible? or do I just need to push for a linked server?
I am working on a report where some customization is need to be delivered.. situation is , i have some parameter in report @USER_ID , @Report_Type where i am proving selection to user to select Report Type (Pending Or Completed) and passing USER_ID auto matically from URL string of user login(C# code).
I have another parameter @USER_IDS which is multiple selection for user and it will be filled with the users which lie under passed @USER_ID means i just need to add dataset with the query to select users from mapper table where reporting_head =@USER_ID, simple, but i have requirement to populate the underlined users with the selection of @USER_ID and @Report_Type and it need some TSQL code to populate so i am using Another store procedure and using same parameter as my main store procedure has .
Now i am using dataset with this store procedure  to fill my @USER_IDS  parameterÂ
Both parameters value will be passed from main report parameters now , when i am previewing a report i am getting error
and i also tried to write exec statement in dataset query with the main repport paramters but exec is not supported ..
I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing". Â
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo  ... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.
I am trying to get a null value to pass to a multi-select parameter in SSRS 2005. The multi-select box is getting its possible values from the following query:
SELECT NULL CMP_ID, '<all companies>' COMPANY UNION SELECT DISTINCT T1.CMP_ID, T1.COMPANY FROM VIEWCOMPANYLIST T1 WHERE T1.DIV_ID = 2Â ORDER BY 1
This query is pre-pending a row with NULL as the first ID. The resulting data set is exactly what you would expect - Row 1 has a null in column CMP_ID, and <all companies> in column COMPANY. All the rest of the rows have proper data. My multi-select parameter box is of type Multi-value Int, with possible values populated by this query and a default of NULL. However, when I preview the report, the <all companies> row disappears.Â
It's not even in the list, and it's not getting selected by the default selector. So, of course, when I try to View Report without selecting anything, I get prompted to select a company. Why the prepended row in my dataset is getting dropped from the multi-select box at display time? And yes, I have to be able to pass a null value because the stored procedure on which the report is based expects this parameter to be optional.
How can I pass NULL to a parameter, if now entry is made in the textbox? Dim KeywordParam As New SqlParameter("@Keyword", Me.KeyWordText.Text) MyCommand.Parameters.Add(KeywordParam)
sSQL = "spBPT_Fuel_Set_Status_Approved" cmdDailyPrices.CommandText = sSQL cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@user", "Philippe") cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@verbose", "0") cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@Day_1_add", rowBand1.Cells(DayParameters.AddFactor).Value) cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@Day_1_multiply", rowBand1.Cells(DayParameters.MultiplyFactor).Value) cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@Day_2_add", "NULL") cmdDailyPrices.Parameters.Add("@Day_2_multiply", "NULL") For @Day_2_add and @Day_2_multiply parameters I want to pass the value as NULL not string "NULL" could you please let me know how to do this?
I am using SQL Reporting Services to generate reports. I am calling the stored procedure from the reporting services. The procedure has parameters which take null. I am stuck with passing null to the parameter from the reporting services. I shows the error and the report is not generated. Could you please suggest the way to pass null to the stored procedure parameter from the SQL Reporting Services.
I'm writing some generalized stored procedures for use form managed code. The following stored proc works great:
CREATE PROCEDURE fnd_Send ( @Message VARCHAR(5000), @Contract SYSNAME, @MessageType SYSNAME, @FromService SYSNAME, @ToService VARCHAR(100), @Encrypted Bit ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @Handle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
BEGIN DIALOG CONVERSATION @Handle FROM SERVICE @FromService TO SERVICE @ToService ON CONTRACT @Contract WITH ENCRYPTION = OFF;
SEND ON CONVERSATION @Handle MESSAGE TYPE @MessageType(@Message);
Notice the use of SYSNAME parameters €“ translating the parameter into an object name - allows it to work in the BEGIN DIALOG statement when an system object is needed. Works create and cues up generic messages.
The following will not compile:
CREATE PROCEDURE fnd_Receive ( @Queue SYSNAME, @Message VARCHAR(5000) out, @MessageType SYSNAME out ) AS BEGIN DECLARE @Handle UNIQUEIDENTIFIER;
RECEIVE TOP (1) @Handle = conversation_handle, @MessageType = message_type_name, @Message = message_body FROM @Queue; END GO
It won€™t let me use the SYSNAME field @Queue in the FROM clause. I€™m getting an unfriendly:
Msg 102, Level 15, State 1, Procedure fnd_Receive, Line 15 Incorrect syntax near '@Queue'.
It looks like maybe I can€™t bind a variable in the FROM clause €“ perhaps like you cannot in a SELECT statement. I can fall back to dynamic SQL in the stored proc or in the managed code; I was hoping not to.
Can anyone shed any light on this? Also, are there any other techniques I'm missing to avoid falling back to a dynamic SQL statement.
I have a problem with multi-value parameter in ReportingServices2005, hope to find a solution here.
if I use ordinary parameter in a report(multi-value checkbox is not selected), after deployment I can click on drop down list and type possible value of that parameter using keyboard(it will be selected from what i typed).
if I use multi-value parameter somewhy it doesn't respond to anything i type from my keyboard.
Why is that? What should i do to make that multi-value parameter select possible result from what i type?
I'm using SSRS 2005 which connects to SQL Server 2005. I need to pass Multi valus for single parameter...
E.g. Command type : Text SELECT * FROM COUNTRY where CountryId IN ( @CountryID)
If i tried to preview using single parameter, it shows the record without any problem. However when i tried to put multi values, it gives error message?? I read somewhere which says, need to set to multivalue. But, i could not find the place to set the multi value option...
How to solve it?? Your suggestion/recommendations greatly appreciated.
Hello, My problem is with Validating Date parameter filed, when I user enters wrong (assume user is entering date instead of selecting from date picker). Where following are scenarios I would like to validate.When user enters non-date. When user enters 30/feb/yyyy.When user enters 29/feb/yyyy. (for non-leap year).When user enters 31/mm/yyyy. (for months does not includes day 31)
Could you explain in a little more detail how to accomplish this?
I tried to pass parameter from one report to another report. I can send the parameter using following option: I used jump to url option and write the following expression:
Has anyone encounted a problem with Reporting Services (2005) with the following scenario: A report with a dropdown parameter allowing a Select All choice -
If the selection list is fairly long and Select All is selected - if the user clicks the View Report button the selection list is completely reset (i.e. all items are unselected). This seems to happen if the user quickly clicks the View Report button immediately after clicking the Select All box on the parameter dropdown.
This happens inconsistently - some users experience it frequently while others do not see it at all (using the same parameter values, etc.)
I have two report , first is main report which is matrix and have one parameter User_ids which is multi value selection and my second report is basic chart of user_wise performance.
Now, my main report (matrix ) works fine for Multiple selection of users and i have putted one textbox on main report chart which has action properties set for chart report, when user click on chart button it must goes to chart with user selected in main report. Now , i have used expression for parameter to send it like ..
=join(parameter!user_id!value,",") which pass selected value to chartÂ
And when I am selecting single user it passing that value to chart parameter list but , when it is more than one user it errors with conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '121,128' to data type int. But my chart also works when passing 121,128 in user parameter in preview of report .
I am using reporting services 2012, Can we make visibility of report parameter dynamic, ie can we make parameter visible or hide on certain condition or its visibility depends on other parameters Is this feature  available in any other updated version of ssrs?Â
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.
Using SQL Server 2008R2 and Report Builder 3.0..I have an action set in a text box of a table. My intent is to pass the value of that text box (which is variable) to a sub-report in a popup window. Here's my code: URL....The parameter of the report I'm trying to open is @SONum.I'm guessing my error is involved in the formatting of how the value of the parameter is being passed. I've also seen examples where the report server and report values were parameterized, but I don't know where to define
Parameters!ServerAddress.Value anywhere.Do I need to have something set up a certain way within the report I'm opening? Here's the report Parameter settings on the report I'm trying to open.
We have an SSrS report that has a tablix cell with a textbox that is a hyperlink to another SSrS report. We pass parameters to the report using the textbox properties>Action set to "Go to report" and setting the parameters to the value of a field and a parameter as shown below. We want to set action to "Go to URL" and to pass these variable parameter values in the URL. How is that done? URL....
I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â
Using asp.net 2.0 and visual studio 2005. The question is regarding the following ER diagram: I've made Firstname, lastname, buildingID and RoomNum all required fields. I've got a modified GridView that displays all of the table Faculty columns. It's been modified so the BuildingID and DepID are resolved to their actual field names and displayed in a DropDownList. In the dropdown list I used for inserting (a seperate DetailsView control), I manually inserted an item into the Department dropdownlist which had the text "-- Select a Department --" with a value of -1. MS SQL didn't like that -1 value so I wrote the following code to fix it: protected void dsFaculty_Inserting(object sender, SqlDataSourceCommandEventArgs e) { if (e.Command.Parameters["@DeptID"].Value.ToString() == "-1") { e.Command.Parameters["@DeptID"].Value = null; } } That means of course DeptID is null, which is ok. The problem arises is when I try to edit that row in the GridView. I get the an error 'ddlDepartment' has a SelectedValue which is invalid because it does not exist in the list of items.Parameter name: valueIdeally, I'd like to make the dropdown list in the GridView show "-- None --" for the DeptID if it comes across a null value. I already tried playing around with the Command.Parameters in the dsFaculty_Selected function, but it didn't work. Ideas?
