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'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.
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?
I replied to an thread in the pre-2010 forum before I realized the forum I was in...
I'm using Visual Studio 2008 to Design my SSRS reports. The report viewer is using SharePoint 2010 SP1 integrated mode.
I am using a conditional statement to determine which report to drill to based on the SSRS textbox's column.
=iif((Fields!Type.Value =
"Total")OR
(Fields!Type.Value ="Variance - (F)/U"),"DivisionSpendingReport","DivisionSpendingReportDetail")
Works fine in Visual Studio. Once deployed to SharePoint though, the drill through returns an error that says report can't be found. So I added the .rdl to the conditional statement in the report Design.
=iif((Fields!Type.Value =
"Total")OR
(Fields!Type.Value ="Variance - (F)/U"),"DivisionSpendingReport.rdl","DivisionSpendingReportDetail.rdl")
It now works in SharePoint but not in Visual Studio...
Do I need to keep adding and removing the ".rdl" in order to make any changes to this report???!!!
I created a parameter with available values from a dataset.
By default i want it to display the maximum value. and then the user can select the dates if he does not like the default value.
How to i do this. because when i tried to set the paramter default value to max(dataset!dt.value) it says expression canot be used.
How to do this. Should I create a dataset with maximum value and then assign it to this one.
I am using SSRS 2008 and the reports we have use parameters of type Date/Time. The reports work well when the parameter values are entered correctly.
When entering an invalid date format for one of the Date/Time parameters the following error is displayed "The value provided for the report '<parameter name>' is not valid for its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch). This seems to be working correctly as well. However, when the correct date format is then entered for the report parameter for which the report threw an error, the error persists and the report doesn't run again. Setting the parameter to "NULL" doesn't work either.
The only way to get the report to run again is to refresh the entire report. Of course, if at that point one has entered a bunch of other parameter values, those values all disappear.
I have a server that has SSRS 2012. It was running ok.
And just now I installed IIS to try something and I am noticing that SSRS isn't coming up when I put in the usual URL in the browser.
We're migrating from SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008. We use itextsharp (a pdf processing library) to merge different PDF outputs into one large PDF file. This was working brilliantly in SSRS 2005, but in SSRS 2008, itextsharp *can* open and parse the PDF, but itext sees the "content" section of the PDF pages as blank. So, the resulting composite PDF ends up being a series of blank pages. Acrobat 9 and a couple other PDF tools (tested linux Evince and win GIMP) seem to be able to open the SSRS 2008-generated PDF fine, but the java-version of itext, and the .net version of itext (itextsharp) see nothing but blanks.So, I realize this points to a problem with itext, but I'm curious if merging PDFS outputed from SSRS 2008, and what PDF tools/libraries they are using.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI've been running into this issue quite a few times, and have been unable to solve it through reading various posts/forums. Here is the issue
Software Details:
Datawarehouse Database - SQL Server 2008 R2
Reporting Services Version - SSRS 2008 R2
Development Environment - Visual Studio 2008
Problem Details:
I have been writing reports based of a Relational Datamart with dimensions and facts. The report in question uses dimensions for parameters and facts for content. Multi valued parameters are enabled in the report query by using the 'IN(@Paramenter)' statement within the report query. It has a total of 6 multi-value parameters. I assign the same available values from dimension datasets for each parameter to it's default parameter. Theoretically all the values in the option lists should be selected after first render. This is not always the case.
Example:
SELECT *
FROM dbo.MyTable
WHERE
TableColumn0 IN (@Parameter0)
AND
TableColumn1 IN(@Parameter1)
AND ....N (continue syntax to 6 multi valued parameters)
Some of the multi-value drop down lists are defaulting to have every value selected, and some are not. The problem is I need to know why some parameters are not selecting all by default when specified.
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,
P1 P2
A a
A b
A c
A d
B 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 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:
=Iif(array.IndexOf(Parameters!Program.Value,"A")>-1,nothing,"N/A")
I get an error on preview saying that . The Default Expression for the report parameter "Location" contains error:
Unable to cast object of type 'System.String' to type 'System.Array'.
I am working on SSRS report deployed on the sharepoint.
By default, it is displaying " Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services " on the report
How can that be removed?
Secondly as I don't have the requirement to default the report parameters so I am getting
"Specify parameter values ............... button "
Any way to replace it with some other text etc...
I am trying to test the concept of passing multi value parameters from one report using the Action Property of a textbox to open another report is a new Window with the Multi Value parameter values already passed. The test involves the following:
Report 1:
1. Multi Value Parameter @ReportParameter1 has three Values: Value1, Value2, Value3
2. Has a text box with the Action Property set to Go to URL with the following Expression:
="javascript:void(window.open('http://reportserver/Reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPath=%2fReports%2fReport2&rs:Command=Render&ReportParameter1="
+ JOIN(Parameters!ReportParameter1.Value,"&ReportParameter1=") + "'))"
Report 2:
1. Has Two Parameters @ReportParameter1 and @ReportParameter2
2. @ReportParameter1 has Available Values as follows: Value1, Value2, Value3
Does not have any default Values.
When I click on the textbox on Report1, it does navigate to Report2 but none of the Values are being set.
I'm modifying a report that uses a date parameter as a report filter. The original report had no restrictions on what dates may be entered, so it displayed a neat Calendar picker tool for use in selecting the date for the parameter.
Thing is, this new version needs to have the dates limited to only those available in the source data. So, when I provide a query to describe the available values in the parameter properties window, instead of the nifty Calendar picker, I get a texbox dropdown list. [insert sad sound here]
I was hoping that it would still provide the Calendar picker, but with available dates highlighted in bold or some color or the unavailable dates greyed out, something along those lines; not an unimaginative dropdown list. To define the available values, I use a very simple query;
SELECT DISTINCT Load_Date
FROM Census
ORDER BY Load_Date
Is there a way to get it to display a Calendar tool rather than the dropdown list, if the parameter is given a list of available dates?
Adding a value to a non-queried default report parameter value does not update on the target server after deployment.
To recreate
1. Create a report in Visual Studio and add a report parameter with the following properties:
Multi-value is checked
Available values = "From Query"
Dataset = [create a dataset that returns a table w/ a Id and Description column]
Value field = [the Id field from the table]
Label field=[the Description column from the table]
Default values = "Non-queried" (add several values the match the IDs from the table so that some of the values in the report dropdown will show up as checked when rendering the report)
2. Build and deploy the report to the reporting server. View the report and verify the specified items are checked in the report parameter.
3. Go back to Visual Studio and add a value to the Non-queried Default values.
4. Build and deploy the report again. View the report. The newly added item is not selected.
Notes
I verified that the newly added ID exists in the rdl file (as xml) on both the development box and the server where the report was deployed. However, when I view the report parameter using Management Studio (connect to the reporting server), the newly added value for the report parameter does not exist. I verified that changes are being deployed by adding new parameters and changing other properties of the parameter. I thought maybe the rdl itself was being cached somehow - I tried restarting IIS, SQL Server, and SQL Reporting services. None worked. Note that running the report on the development box by running the project through Visual Studio DOES reflect the change to the parameter.
Work-arounds
1. Create a dataset for the report that returns a table of the Ids that you want pre-selected. The query could be something like this:
SELECT '4' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '5' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '6' AS SelectedId
2. Delete the report in Management Studio, then redeploy.
I have issue w/ both workarounds because for 1) it is not intuitive and you have to remember to do this for every similar case, and 2) this extra step has to occur each time the report is deployed w/ changes to the report parameter.
Most of our reports need to be rendered directly to PDF. And since we have multi paged reports, we have implemented document map to have navigation. while exporting to the PDF, Users want the Bookmarks to be visible by default. However, this is not the case. The bookmarks tab in the Navigation tools of Acrobat is not expanded rather we need to manually click on it to see the bookmarks. This behavior is different from Crystal Reports XIr2 where the bookmarks are defaulted to be visible when opening a PDF exported by crystal.Is there any way to replicate this behavior in SSRS too?

Hi,
I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter. When I navigate to the second report, I don't pass any parameters, but I get an error "parameter is missing a value" for the multi-valued report parameter. I have it setup as allow "multi-value" and "blank value". Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.
I have database fields that contain RTF text. If I use the default Textbox in SSRS 2008 Report Designer, I get all the RTF formating characters, which makes for a VERY ugly report.Is there another control I can place on my report that will take the RTF formated text and display it properly? I can do this in Crystal Reports, but I'm converting to SSRS 2008 so I need to be able to handle RTF formated text.

I want to Change parameter position in SSRS report.I need Start Date and End Date Parameter at same column so client can easily select Start Date and End Date.I have tried a lot but not succeed.
How Can I change the position of Start Date and End Date.I can't change order of other three parameter Select Institutions, Select Author and Course Pack Names parameter because they are internally related to each other(forward dependencies are there).
I created the report, which has 4 pages. Each page contains bunch of tables and charts, which display data in scope of dataset, created for each page and reflecting certain subject. Each page also has Header and Footer.
My users requested, the report has possibility to include or not include data on Page #4.
Other words, report should display 3 or 4 pages based on the entered parameter.
1. I created parameter named “Include #### metrics”, which contains options: Y, N
2. For each object on the page 4 I added dependency on the selected parameter in the visibility option.
Now if user select parameter Not include Page #4, report displays 3 pages as expected and page #4 is empty, but with Header and Footer.
The problem: Their preference is to not to show page 4 at all if someone chooses to not to include #### metrics.
My question is how to force the report to display just 3 selected pages.
I have an SSRS report that gets its data from an SSAS cube, and it essentially displays a list of students and absences. Everything works fine.
But the users only want to see the top N students with the highest absences. For example, today they want to see the top 100, but during summer vacation, they only want to see the top 5.
Is there a way to add this parameter to the SSRS report? So if I select "5" from the dropdown parameter, it will show the top 5 absences.
The query that I use to populate the report is something simple:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Absences] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Student].[Lte Cell Key].[Lte Cell Key].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DimDateDateKey, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Daily Cube]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS

I change the regional settings of windows and SharePoint site to English(United States). and when I select date control it is also putting date in format like "YYYY-MM-DD'. and in that format report is working well in Query designer view.But on run time still it is not working.

Now I am trying to run Report Builder from a client machine and it will not download. The client machine is on the same domain and my user id is set as an administrator within SSRS and as a local admin on the 2008 server.

Currently, I have a report that takes two parameters: StartDate and EndDate.
I would like to schedule the report to run on a Daily, Weekly, Monthly or Yearly basis, but this doesn't work too well with StartDate and EndDate because the parameter is static. What is the most elegant way to implement this change?
There is a multi value parameter called "include" in the report where "Allow Multiple Values" is checked and it has 4 Available values as shown in the attached screen shots and preview of the report is also shown .There is no data set for this parameter and the values will get displayed on the report based on the visibility condition set in the report.Example : If first value is selected then 1 is passed and based on the visibility condition set in the report - the report output is displayed.None is default value and has value 4 and when the report is run with this option i.e. "None" then rest three parameter values are not applicable .
Requirement :
-When the end user selects (Select All) Check box then (None)
-check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user
-When the end user selects check boxes either of the first three except None then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for -selection for the end user
-when the end user selects a combination of first three then also None check box must be disabled or must not appear for selection for the end user
-The None is set as default with a value as 4 and is applicable only when the user does not select either of the first three values and the report will run.
