Hello,
I have a multi-value parameter field and each item comes from a table in the DB.
This multi-value parameter allows to select all or some of the items.
What if I don't want to select ANY item??
I read in the forum the several tray to do the same but the answers are not so clear..
If I say that at the end is a bug in SSRS... AM I right?
Thank you
Marina B.
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 = 2 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.
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.
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 chart
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 would like to be able to adjust the multi-value property of a parameter based on the value of another parameter in my report. The controlling paramter would be binary with two options for Single or Multiple selection. I would like my parameter to default to multi-value, which I can do on the screen selection. I have tried to add an IIF statement to the XML code, with no success. Any ideas would be helpful.
Thanks
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.
Is it possible through SSRS designer?
I have a report that is run on a monthly basis with a default date of null. The stored procedure determines the month-end date that it should use should it be sent a null date.
The report works fine when I tell it to create a history entry; however, when I try to add a subscription it doesn't appear to like the null parameter value. Since I have told the report to have a default value of null it doesn't allow me to enter a value on the subscription page.
Now, I suppose I could remove the parameter altogether from the stored proc, but then the users would never be able to run the report for a previous time period. Can someone explain to me why default values aren't allowed to be used on subscriptions when they seem to work fine for ad hoc and scheduled reports? This is really quite frustrating as most of my reports require a date value and default to null so that the user doesn't have to enter them for the latest data.
An internal error occurred on the report server. See the error log for more details. (rsInternalError) Get Online Help
Key cannot be null. Parameter name: key
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.

I am starting to use reporting services and I created a report that takes 4 parameters for a Filter on the dataset.
The idea is the create snapshot nightly and then display the report filtered based on parameters to users.
I'd like that the filter be ignored for a parameter if the parameter is passed as NULL,
Right now I defined it this way :
Left =Fields!RegionCode.Value
Operator =
Right =IIF(IsNothing(Parameters!RegionCode.Value),Fields!RegionCode.Value,Parameters!RegionCode.Value)
I do this for the 4 parameters that are passed, if they are null, make then equals to the field.
I was wondering if there is a way to ignore the whole parameter all together, I would guess it'll be faster to execute.
Thanks
How do you configure a multi-value parameter so it will allow the user to not enter the parameter?
I'm using integer multi-value parameters. I can't set the parameter to allow null, and when I preview the report and leave the parameter blank, it tells me to enter at least one value. I tried it with string parameters, and the report just doesn't run in preview if you don't enter any values, even if you choose "allow blank".
How do you specify a multi-value parameter to allow "empty" or "null"?
Hi,
In my report i have a multi valued parameter, when i view my report in the Web application with Report Viewer, The multi valued parameter is displaying in light color.Can we able to change this.
Thanks in advance
I have a stored procedure im passing into Reporting Services. Only problem is , What do i need to change to allow the user to select more then one value. I already know what to do on the reporting services side, but it keeps erroring with the data source IE my stored procedure. Here's the code:

Hi:
I am building a report and have a few parameters. One of this parameters is set up as Multi-Value. When I only select one value everything is running fine. But when I select multi values I get an error saying I must declare my variable.
Any idea why this is happening?

I'm trying to build a sproc that will return rows even if some of the parameters are blank. For example; if a user does not enter a priority, a status, or a caller the sproce should still return rows based on the other parameters.
Can anyone help me find a way to modify my sproc bellow to allow this? I think the way I have it bellow will only return those rows where the user has entered a parameter or the record has a null in the field.ALTER PROCEDURE dbo.ContactManagementAction
(
@ClientID int,
@Priority int,
@TStart datetime,
@TEnd datetime,
@Status nvarchar,
@ConTypeID int,
@Caller nvarchar,
@Keyword nvarchar
)
AS
SELECT Task_ID, ClientID, Priority, ActionDate, Subject, Note, Status, CompletionDate, TaskDocument, ReminderDate, Reminder, ReminderTime, Sol_ID,
DateEntered, EnteredBy, Caller, ContactTypeID, DueDate
FROM tblTasks
WHERE (ClientID = @ClientID) AND (Priority = @Priority) OR (Priority IS NULL) AND (ActionDate BETWEEN @TStart AND @TEnd) AND (Status = @Status) OR (Status IS NULL) AND
(ContactTypeID = @ConTypeID) OR (ContactTypeID IS NULL) AND (Caller = @Caller) OR (Caller IS NULL) AND (Subject LIKE @Keyword) OR (Subject IS NULL)
RETURN
Is it possible for an AND statement to take mulitple parameters? See below code:
SELECT tblQuestion.Question, tblAnswer.Answer

Is something like this possible?:

OK Guys....
If you answer this one, you will save my life...and you WILL be the MAN or WOMAN!!!!
Problem: I have a set of 24 matrix's that need to calculate the difference between the last two years and display in a field to the right of the last rendered column. Since I have been struggling with this, let's just assume there is no better way than how I currently have it set up. (one table that does the calculations for me and I set one field on the report to display the most recent two columns difference in my report)
what I can not figure out is: when I choose one of my parameters the report displays the information I want...but when I choose more than one...well there is the problem....
In order to obtain the most help for myself I will ask this in the most general way possible so as not to get bogged down into my specific solution...
Desired Result: How to pass all my parameter values from my multi-value parameter during runtime to a SQL Stored proc from my dataset within Reporting Services at runtime, Match the parameter to the field, get the result and store it in a variable, then do it again and add the second to the first within the variable, and so on and so on , until all of the parameters are used. Then sum the values and display in a field.
HELP, HELP, HELP Please....
Several people have asked about this, but I have not seen a response that works. I have several parameters that I want to use as filters. If a particular filter parameter is not entered, the report should not apply a filter on that criterion. It works fine to create a single value parameter which allows null, and use the following in SQL:
WHERE ( [Field1] = @Field1_Filter OR @Field1_Filter IS NULL )
How can the same effect be achieved for a multi-value parameter? If you try to create a multi-value parameter which allows null, the report builder gives an error. I can't use "allow blank value" because some of my parameters are integer parameters. Without the allow null, the report generator requires me to enter at least one value. So I don't know how you can get a value of "not entered" into a multi-value parameter.
I also don't know how you would check for the "not entered". Someone suggested the following SQL:
WHERE ( [Field1] IN (@Field1_Filter) OR @Field1_Filter IS NULL )
This generates an error when generating the report if multiple values are entered for the parameter (the normal condition). The error is " An expression of non-boolean type specified in a context where a condition is expected, near ',' ".
How is this supposed to be done?
Thanks for any insight
hi,
i'm trying to perform a query against a db2 database like this:
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE (field IN (?))
Then i let reporting services pass the parameter to the report. When i try to preview the report, i get the following error:
An error occurred during local report processing,
An error has occured during report processing,
Cannot add multi value query parameter '?' for data set ... because it is not supported by the data extension
But when i type the query like this
SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE (field IN ('value1','value2'))
it executes flawlessly.
I am using the IBM ole db driver for db2 if that matters
Can anyone help me?
HI there.
I have been working on this for quite some time and I can not figure out what I am doing wrong.
I have a report filter called ItemFilter and I have declared as a report parameter where the multi value checkbox is checked. The values from this filter are coming from the item table.
SO the users drilldown on the filter when they run the report an select the Items that they would like to display info for. I had the following code before in the where
where
([CRONUS International Ltd_$Item].No_ = @itemfilter). This only worked if they selected on item from the list.
I want them to be able to select multiple Items or all. The code above did not work because there were commas separating one item from the other and I was getting an error.
I changed to
whrere
([CRONUS International Ltd_$Item].No_ IN (@itemfilter)).
Now this only returns the first item that I enter on my Itemfilter parameter.
Does anyone have any clue in regards to this ?? I am sure I am using the wrong syntax, but I do not know what to change it too.
Thanks
Good afternoon,
I've designed a Reporting Services report that has a multi-value parameter. The report works just great. The only issue I'm running into is that the users are complaining that when they want to select the values, within the multi-value parameter box, they have to scroll it to the sides way too much. This also makes them select values by mistake.
Is there away to inscrease the width of the multi-value parameter box?
Best regards.
I am experiencing a problem with the multi-value parameter dropdown in the ReportViewer when using FireFox, but in IE it seems to work fine. The symptom is when I click on the dropdown the list of options appears and then quickly disappears before I can select anything and I only experience the problem with multi-value parameters. I also have noticed that the dropdown is grayed out but I can still click it. Also, the position of the dropdown options are different in FireFox (pushed all the way to the left). I have created a very basic example at https://www.register4this.com/testreport.aspx to demonstrate the problem. There is no report, only the single "Orgs" parameter to keep things as simple as possible.
I suspect that I am missing something obvious because I haven't been able to find anyone else reporting this issue so any help would be appreciated. My ReportView control is configured as follows:

Hi All,
Is it possible to pass a multi value parameter from one report to another using the "jump to report" feature?
ie;
I have report A that has a mutli value parameter (para1). This report has a link with the action property set to jump to another report(Report B). Report B requires the same multivalue parameter. I have tries setting the parameter in the interface as well as trying the join function. Nothing seems to pass the values correctly.
regards
I have a multi-value parameter and I need to print its value in report.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a report with the following dataset query:
Code Snippet
SELECT ...,
dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear(..., @countryId ,...) AS HoursYear
FROM ....
WHERE cast(detail.COUNTRY_ID as nvarchar(max)) IN (@countryId)
AND ...
GROUP BY ...
countryId is defined as a String multi-valued parameter.
The getActivitySinceBeginningYear is defined as follows:
Code Snippet
ALTER FUNCTION dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear
(
...
@countryId ntext,
...
)
RETURNS decimal(18,5)
AS
BEGIN
declare @return decimal(18,5)
set @return = 0.0
SELECT @return = SUM(detail.HOURS_WORKED)
FROM ...
inner join charlist_to_table(@countryId, Default) f on detail.COUNTRY_ID = f.str
WHERE ...
RETURN @return
END
This function works as expected if I transmit one ID or several.
The report works fine if I check only one ID.
If I check several IDs, the report displays this error:
Procedure or function dbo.getActivitySinceBeginningYear has too many arguments specified.
Why???
My second problem is with the Where clause:
Code Snippet
WHERE cast(detail.COUNTRY_ID as nvarchar(max)) IN (@countryId)
If I do:
Code SnippetWHERE detail.COUNTRY_ID IN (@countryId)
I have the following error:
Conversion failed when converting the nvarchar value '3,5' to data type int.
(I transmitted 3 and 5 for countryId)
That's why I tried to use a cast, but the data returned by the query is wrong when I transmit several value.

Hello
I created a table adapter with the following query
select * from building where buildingname in (@param1)
I used the query builder to the test the query and it works ok if I pass a single value
ex: name: @param1 value: Building1
but when I use the value: Building1, Building2 then it doesn't return anything
If i do a direct sql: select * from building where buildingname in ('Buiding1','Buiding2') returns many rows.
Now I have a class that has the following function<System.ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodAttribute(ComponentModel.DataObjectMethodType.Select, False)> _
Public Function getBuilding(ByVal building As String) As myDataSet.buildingDataTableReturn adapter.getBuilding(building)
End Function
When I call this function I try to pass the building value sorta like
dim building as string = 'Building1,Building2'
and it doesn't work. I tried a whole bunch of variations.
How are you supposed to format the parameter string?
Thanks

Hello,
I am searching for a resolution. I did a few searches on this site and could not gain the exact answer. I apologize is this thread is a duplicate.
I have written a report containing Multi-Values for Reporting Services. When a user selects the values for the report parameters, the checked values continue to be selected after the report is completed.
Is there a way to clear these parameters?
Some of our users run the same report more than once during a single web session.
Thank you for your attention!
