Default Parameter Value Is No Longer Part Of Cascading Parameter In SSRS 2005?
Jan 30, 2007
Hi,
I need "conditional" cascading parameters: In Report Manager when one changes parameter 1, parameter 2 get changed based on parameter 1. Optionally, one can also enter values to parameter 2 directly.
I was able to achieve this in SSRS 2000 (SP2) with the following setups. SSRS 2005 and SP1 no longer works - Parameter 2 always shows its default value regardless whether one select a value in Parameter 1 or not.
Parameter 1
available values: from query
default values: non query (specify a value "<None>")
Parameter 2
available values: Non query (no value specified)
default values: from query (based on Parameter 1)
It seems to me that the default value in SSRS 2000 is considered as cascading parameter. But it is no longer the case in SSRS 2005.
Is this a SSRS 2005 bug? is there any other work arounds or suggestions?
I have two parameters, lets say P1 and P2. P2 is cascaded with P1. P1 -> P2.
For the parameter P2, the following proterty set are
 1. Multi Select  2. The default value is all the available value selected (Same dataset is assigned to both "Available Values" and "Default Values")
The data relation be, P1Â Â Â P2 AÂ Â Â Â a AÂ Â Â Â b AÂ Â Â Â c AÂ Â Â Â d BÂ Â Â Â a
Now the issue is,
Step 1 : When i choose A in P1 first time, a,b,c and d in P2 are selected Step 2 : When i change B in P1, a is selected Step 3 : When i change back to A in P1, only a is selected in P2 (a,b,c and d should be selected)
I encounter a cascading parameter problem that confuses me badly.
I have a Web App, say App1, and view the server report, say Report1, through Report viewer. I pass a parameter (P1)value from App1 to Report1. at the report side, I create a dataset, say DS1, against the P1's value. Then I create second parameter P2 whose value comes from dataset DS1, and I set its default value as DV1 (it could be Null, or querying from DS1 or a constant). The report1 comes agains the value of @P2.
The problem is here, when the report is run, @P2 can show correct value list in its dropdown (comes from dataset DS1), but after I select the values and click 'view report', the of value of @P2come back to the default one, DV1, and the report comes out against the DV1 (not what I selected).
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters). Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension . Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007". But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All". Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
I have a multi value  parameter called "Location" and this depends on another multi valued  parameter value. The default value for the parameter "Location" comes from the another another multi valued  parameter. Now say when the default value is set for the parameter Location like the below:
The Location parameter data set has values from the Query and default values has been set as shown below:
I have a parameter that chooses its available items from a query (with a label and a value column). I set the default for the parameter to the a particular value.
It works in Preview from design mode, but when I deploy it and run the report, it does not set the default.
I want to set the default parameters for a function. I;d like to set the date start date to current date and end date for the last 90 days. how to make this work?
Create Function HR.Equipment ( @startdate Date =(Convert(Date,DATEADD(DAY,-1,GETDATE())), @enddate Date = (Convert(Date,@StartDate-90) ) RETURNS TABLE AS RETURN ( SELECT EquipID, EmpName, IssueDate FROM HR.Equipment WHERE IssueDate <=@StartDate and IssueDate >=@EndDate ) GO
Does anyone know of a link or list that has all the parameters for the "rs:" section of the URL access parameter, except for the ones in the Microsoft books?
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.
I have a dataset listing distinct values for items (like 1, D10, M4, etc.) The WHERE statement in my query refers to unit IN(@Unit). I then have 2 report parameters to select 1) a date (datetime); and 2) a multivalue parameter to select one or all of the "units". I would like the second parameter to default to "Select All". Can someone tell me how to do this? I'm sure this is a fairly simple thing but I am really struggling. The report parameter is set as multivalue; My "available values" is set to "from query" and refers to my "unit" dataset and the value and label fields are set to "unit" (only field I bring into this particular dataset). The "Default Values" section is set to "from query" , the dataset is set to "unit" and the value is set to "unit". I can preview the report and select a date but the list of units comes up with all boxes unchecked, including "Select All". Any help will be much appreciated. Thanks.
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
I have 2 parameter One is Office (Listbox) another Account(list box) , where Account list box filling is dependent on the Office selection.
In published report when I select the office from list box the page got refreshed but it not updating the account list, the account list box looks diabled?
I have define the two parameter and for the second parameter here is the query
="SELECT ACCOUNT_ID, ACCOUNT_NUMBER FROM MLGDB2.A_ACCOUNT " & "where OFFICE_ID =" & Parameters!paramOffice.Value & "ORDER BY ACCOUNT_ID "
To access parameter i need to use Parameters!paramOffice.Value with ODBC driver instead of @param.

I am having a problem with Cascading Parameters in a RS2005 SP2 report. In the report the user selects the part # (param 1) based on the part number selected the serial # list (param 2) is populated. This all works fine.
The problem is that when the user clicks on the View report button the report is generated and the part # stays the same but the serial # parameter is "reset". On the development box it gets reset to the last serial # on the list. When we deploy out to our production environment it gets reset to the first serial # in the list.
Is there a way to stop the serial # (param 2) from being reset and to have it stay to what the user selected.
The third parameter (True) means to overwrite the file if it exists.
I'm having a problem when I update an existing RDL file. When adding the RDL for the first time, the Reporting Server appears to hang on to the default values for the parameters. Overwriting an existing RDL file doesnt update these "cached" parameters.
So my first thought is to delete the report on the server before uploading the RDL file. But the web service only has a "DeleteItem" method which causes all schedules, tasks, etc associated with the report to be removed, which is definitely something I DONT want ;-)
I am using RS2005. i have a requirement in which i need to pass more than 1 value to a parameter. this parameter is used in a dataset for filtering.
Eg: if i have a parameter as @years, i want to assign values 2005, 2006 to it and use it in the dataset to filter like select.... where year in (@years).
So this is my first time posting on MSDN but I am running into an issue I don't know how to circumvent. This issue isn't causing my report not to run but it makes it very confusing for end users. Â I am building a report for a user and he was cascading parameters. The parameters are Department (the Parent), Site (the Child) and Vehicle Class (the grandchild).
Here is my issue: If I select 2 Departments named Dept1 and Dept2, the Site parameter populates. If Dept1 and Dept2 have sites named the same, example fleet, Fleet shows up in the site parameter twice.Â
Then the Vehicle Class parameter populates. Now if at those sites they have the same vehicle class, lets say 1/2 ton pickup, 1/2 ton pickup is in the vehicle class parameter twice.Â
All three of these parameters are populated by a query and all of the queries are using SELECT DISTINCT. I know I could manually input values for the parameters but there are to many departments and sites and they all vary to much depending on the department.Â
Is there a way to to only have distinct values populate the parameter even if the parents have the same child?
hi all m newbie for SSRS 2005 . when i ran the folowing query it gives an error like "An error occurred while executing the query.Parser: The syntax for '.' is incorrect".
WITH SET [FilteredAccountSet] AS 'order(Parameter!Account.Value,[Measures].[_MeasureBillingCode],ASC)'
I'm sure what I am trying to do is very simple - but I just can't seem to figure it out. I have a report based on a SSAS cube (SQL 2005). The report shows sales based on the dates the user selects from the parameter field (the date parameter field comes from a Y-Q-M-D hierarchy). This all works fine.
What I would like to happen is for the members within the last 3 months to be automatically selected so that the report automatically executes for the last 3 months.
Can anyone help or offer any advice. If possible I would like to achieve this using the GUI features so that power users can use the "plug and pray interface".
I am not sure this is the correct place to post this question, but here it is. I am trying to pass some parameters to SSIS from a report using the report parameter, then SSIS will create the datareaderdest and return to the report to use.
Anyone have any idea, guidance or leads please share it out. Thanks in advance.
Hi, i am working on SSRS 2005. i have one problem while accessing report throgh ASP.net pages.
i have used multivalue parameters in the report. on the report server it works fine but on the .asp page when that report is accessed, drop down is not working,
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, since a couple of days I'm fighting with RS 2005 and the Stored Procedure.
I have to display the result of a parameterized query and I created a SP that based in the parameter does something:
SET ANSI_NULLS ON SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON CREATE PROCEDURE [schema].[spCreateReportTest] @Name nvarchar(20)= ''
AS BEGIN
declare @slqSelectQuery nvarchar(MAX);
SET NOCOUNT ON set @slqSelectQuery = N'SELECT field1,field2,field3 from table' if (@Name <> '') begin set @slqSelectQuery = @slqSelectQuery + ' where field2=''' + @Name + '''' end EXEC sp_executesql @slqSelectQuery end
Inside my business Intelligence Project I created: -the shared data source with the connection String - a data set : CommandType = Stored Procedure Query String = schema.spCreateReportTest When I run the Query by mean of the "!" icon, the parameter is Prompted and based on the value I provide the proper result set is displayed.
Now I move to "Layout" and my undertanding is that I have to create a report Paramater which values is passed to the SP's parameter... So inside"Layout" tab, I added the parameter: Name allow blank value is checked and is non-queried
the problem is that when I move to Preview -> I set the value into the parameter field automatically created but when I click on "View Report" nothing has been generated!!
How can I display data that only compare the date part (ignoring the time part) between the value of the date parameter and the database?. It displays data only if I pass the whole date (date and time)
I tried with the following query in the report services 2000, but it even didn't pass the query parse
SELECT * FROM table
WHERE (CONVERT(CHAR(8), table.PRODUCTION_DATE, 112) = CONVERT(CHAR(8), @parameterDate, 112))
I have 2 tables (table1KKK, table2KKK), and want to run the same query on them by using parameter with the value "1" or "2". Is it possible to use that parameter as a part of the queried table name? Something like (only for demonstration €“ doesn€™t work): Select * From table +myParameter + kkk Thanks in advance!
Hi, Could you tell me if this is possible? How do I return results using an entire column as part of the search parameter? I need to do this in the sql rather than selecting the contents and iterating through it as it would take too long.
eg. CREATE TABLE [dbo].[tPopupKeywords]( [id] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT FOR REPLICATION NOT NULL, [title] [nvarchar](255) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL, [description] [nvarchar](2000) COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS NOT NULL ) ON [PRIMARY]
INSERT INTO dbo.tPopupKeywords(title, description) SELECT 'check', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'for', 'desc' UNION ALL SELECT 'keywords', 'desc'
select dbo.tpopupkeywords.title where 'This is an example of a passed in string to check if any keywords are returned.' LIKE '% ' + dbo.tpopupkeywords.title + ' %' --Does this bit need to do a select??
