Reporting Services :: Can The Report Parameters Be Passed To Query Of Referenced Dataset
Sep 29, 2015
So I have a report that uses an MDX query to fetch the main data for the tablix. Then I have a custom row added which pulls data in via a Lookup function and references a different dataset. The report has 3 parameters. Each dataset uses those 3 parameters in its underlying query. However, the dataset referenced in the lookup function doesnt seem to be updating when change the parameters and re-run the report.
I'm using Report builder 3.0 to create a report. In the design, datatset query i have a sql to calculate difference between two dates (date1-date2) as processing time. I have this (processing time ) ONLY in my ORDER by clause and when i execute the statement it does exactly what i was looking for , however when i run the report the sort order is not delivered. I checked each column tablix properties and the sorting order is set for Processing Time.
I have an issue with using multiple parameters in SQL Reporting services where data is passed in from a stored procedure
When running the report in design mode - I can type in a parameter sting and it runs fine
In the report preview screen I can select single parameters by ticking the drop down list and again it runs fine
as soon as I tick more than one I get an error
An error occurred during local report processing
Query execution failed for data set €˜data'
Must declare the scalar variable '@parameter'
Some info...
The dataset 'workshop' is using a sproc to return the data string?
I get multiple values back fine in the sproc using this piece of code
(select [str] from iter_charlist_to_table( @Parameter, DEFAULT) ))
I have report parameters set to Multi-Value
Looking through the online books it says...
You can define a multivalued parameter for any report parameter that you create.
However, if you want to pass multiple parameter values back to a query, the following requirements must be satisfied:
The data source must be SQL Server, Oracle, or Analysis Services. The data source cannot be a stored procedure. Reporting Services does not support passing a multivalued parameter array to a stored procedure. The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter.
I am a beginner with Report Designer (and with Reporting Services). Following the tutorials 'Adding parameters to filter Reports ...' I tried using the @symbol to add a parameter to my query: where code = @code_value...I get the error: ORA -000936 missing expression (msorlib) Is there another syntax that I should use to define a parameter/variable in query for my oracle dataset?
I am attempting to pass report parameters to my query. My report's data source is a WCF web service. I can run normal queries fine, but I have found that without the know-how to pass parameters to my query I am limited with my capabilities.
Assume a string parameter named "Name" with a specified default value of "Jmachol90", how would I pass that into the following query at the designated place: Â Â <Query> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Method Namespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sqlserver/masterdataservices/2009/09" Name="SecurityPrincipalsGetRequest"> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameters> Â Â Â Â Â Â <Parameter Name="Criteria" Type="XML"> <DefaultValue>
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit])
There are two parameters; the value of lag passed to the LastPeriods function, and tenancy types passed in the where clause
I have a third parameter I would like to use called FirstDate and this I would like to pass to the LastPeriods function as the second argument
FirstDate is a value from my Time dimension, something like [Time].[Fiscal Time].[Sep. 15]
When editing the query to: -
Member [Measures].[Measure3] As [Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts] Member [Measures].[Measure4] As (([Measures].[Value Rent Period Receipts]*-1)/[Measures].[Value Rent Period Debit]) Select {[Measures].[Measure1] ,[Measures].[Measure2]
[Code] ....
The code errors. I have tried all sorts of formats such as  LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[@FirstDate]) and LastPeriods(@LagMonths,[Time].[Fiscal Time].[@FirstDate]), but nothing works
I would like to display different addresses in the same list:
I have the query for married couples working, Also, I have a separate query of non-married people working.I would like to create a separate datasets for unmarried people in the same report.-Is there way to setup another the second data set without duplicating the fields from the first datasource. I tried to use alias on the second datasets and it did not work okay.
I have a dataset with rows that I normally would display in a  table control. I have too many columns and I would like each data row to be display on many lines. How is that possible?
I have created multiple data sources and datasets in my SSrS project. I created the datasets so I could use them as the basis for reports. However, when I open the wizard to create a new report, I am always asked for a data source, and then have to renter the SQL code that I have stored in one of my datasets. How can I have a report use an existing dataset as it source of data? Otherwise, the datasets I created seem useless . . .
I am trying to develop a report from cube,and it has one drill through report.when i click on sales amount field on main report,then it open the drill through report with details.Here i passed the **(category,subcat,product)parameters(Cascaded)** to drill through report in action part of main report.In my main report i have two columns .
columns are **Level**  and        **Salesamount**. Â
Values are like Â
**[-]category** Â Â Â Â Â Â Â **100** Â Â **[-]subcat** Â Â Â Â Â Â **50** Â Â Â Â Â **product** Â Â Â Â Â **30**
when i click on 100, parameters are passed & it open the detail report correctly, but when i click on 50,the values for subcat parameter is not getting values in detail report and same as the product also.
Is there a way to subscribe SSRS report using dynamic parameters for email and trigger the report from autosys job so that report should generate the exact time the job is triggered.Let me describe, my SSRS report should be triggered on success of one autosys job. i need to send email parameter and time of report schedule from this autosys job.
I have used my parameter value in where clause of my dataset control SQL query. When I choose a single value in my multiple-value parameter then I get output as expected. Hovewer when I choose multuple values I get an arror:
Only one expression can be specified in the select list when the subquery is not introduced with EXISTS. ---------------------------- Query execution failed for dataset 'DATABASE'. (rsErrorExecutingCommand) ---------------------------- An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)
I am convinced that it's a syntax problem. Is there a way I can change syntax of data output from query:
select @parameter
I need output to be like: value, value, value ... etc.
The dataset control query looks something like the following:
select ID, a, b, c, d from DATASET.dbo.Table where ID in (select @parameter)
I have been searching through google for weeks to solve this and got this far and got stuck. Is it possible at all to achieve what I am looking for?
I'm just setting up Reporting Services for our company and it's a great product, no doubt about it. However, I've come across a problem I can't solve and I wonder if any of you can help.
I've produced a sales report and I want my users to be able to enter a list of sales periods to include on the report. For example, the user might want to view the report for periods 10,11,13,14 and 17 and exclude periods 12,15 and 16. Obviously, the underlying query will probably involve an IN() clause but I'm struggling to think of a way that the user might be able to enter these parameters.
The most obvious way might be by typing in a comma separated string, but I don't know how to then put those values into the query.
i am trying to generate a report based on 3 parameters age, location, ethnciity
every thing works fine in data and layout tab, when i run the preview tab, it give me the option to input paramaters and then when i hit veiw report, it shows processing report.... (indefinite) time.
i tried executing the query in data tab, it takes less than a sec.
1 report but different departments run this report with different parameters. Atm I have copied this report for the 4 departments and adjusted the default parameters accordingly (highly inefficient). Isn't there a way to just have one report and that I can adjust the default parameters in code based on user or group ?
The census is from an outside group and what I do is massage it for our internal databases and reports to our care managers.
The report starts out by returning only those entries that were received in the last report from the outside vendor and I filter each of the parameters by using a WITH statement and an INNER JOIN, as follows;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate] FROM Census_Rpt_Final )
[Code] ...
The default is for all parameters to start out with all possible values for the current load date. But, I need to be able to filter the available - and default - values for each parameter based upon the selection of the other parameters.
So, the Load Date is built in by use of the CTE that is a part of all the parameters. But, I need the report to allow the end user to select from each of the others, but limiting what is avaliable for selection based upon the settings of the other parameters.
For example, the second parameter is the Report Type. It can be either "Hospital," or "SNF." But, not all Clinics, Care Managers or PCPs may have an entry in both types. So, if the user selects, say, "Hospital," all the parameters would alter their available and default values such that they only include options where the census shows they are a "Hospital" entry.But, not all Clinics in the most recent census may have both report types. So, if the end user selects a particular clinic, it would also recalculate the available and default values for Report Type, as well as those beneath it on the list. And, likewise for the remainder of the parameters.
My initial thought was to add WHERE statements to the datasets controlling each parameter, but SSRS keeps asking me to define the parameters when I click out of the dataset's properties. Now, I know that SSRS is a single pass process - and, I'll cross the bridge on adjusting parameters defined earlier in the list when I come to it - but I thought that parameters lower in the list would update, since they'd have their values defined.For instance, the Clinic parameter is after Report Type, so the code I used to set up Clinic was;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate] FROM Census_Rpt_Final ) SELECT DISTINCT
[code]....
But, this asks me to define @ReportType, even though it precedes Clinic on the parameter list.
I need to schedule a report with date ranges which change from month to month. Is there a scheduler date function I can place in the parameter field(s) for that report?
On my report, I have two parameters that are used to filter my report. I would like for the report to initially run without filters and without having the user required to input parameters. I know that this can be accomplished by using the multi value parameter and having it "Select All" by default, but for my parameters, I would like for each parameter to only allow the user to select one value. Is it possible to have this requirement without having to enable select multi values?
I've got a feeling that the answer is, "can't be done," but I'll go ahead and ask the august members of this forum, anyway. Is it possible to alter the placement of the Parameter fields when previewing a report?
At the moment, it seems that they form in a column of twos, reading from left to right. I see how the ORDER is affected, by changing the order of the parameters in the Report Data window, but can I change the number of columns?
I am having a question about how can I put a chart and a table in a same page of my report? And let the same parameters passed between them? Is it possible in SQL server 2005 Reporting Services? Please would any experts here shed me any light on it?
Thank you very much in advance and I am looking forward to hearing from you.
I have a report that prompts the user to select a parameter, for simplicity, let's say the parameter is for color choice, options are Red, Yellow, Blue or *. The * is for include all colors. I am passing that parameter back to the dataset query which, again for simplicity is
For a specific color this works fine, for the "*" selection it returns a null. It would seem that I need to convert the * to % but I am not sure how.....
After adding cascading parameters my report which was running earlier is failing. I'm using Report builder 3.0, windows 2008r2, am running the report from the server
Error message "An error has occurred during report processing.(rsProcessingAborted)
Query execution failed for dataset 'LastName' (rsErrorExecutinGcOMMAND) Incorrect Syntax near ','."
Is there a way where i can look up the code in xml using report builder or some other way so that i can delete the extra '','.
I'm using Server 2012 R 2 with SQL Server 2012 Reporting Configuration Manager 11.0.5343.0 . The default time values (pTimeframe)Â for generating the report of my DPM Summary are the default values Day - Week - Month.
How can I define the value "Last 24 hours" for example?! Because the DPM Server does it backups the whole night starting at 08:00pm the day before and the result of the finished Backups of yesterday won't be shown when I use the defaut value "Day".
I want to send a subscription every morning for the backups only of the night before (not the whole week).
I am using this custom data extension from BI Studio.
Que1: I want to create report parameters from BI studio and capture them in my Data Extension.
Que2: Every report parameter has so many properties, like hidden, internal, default value etc, how do capture that information in my data extension, the parameters only give me name and value.
Que3: I know I can capture command Text. So My command can be Select * From tablename where fieldname= @myFieldname. Once I get this commandText in my data extension, How do extract parameters of the command?
Que4: If I have any custom attributes in my RDL file, Can I capture them in my Data Extension ?
I created a re port using the Report builder. The report runs fine. I want to create a parameter on the report. I created a new dataset with the query "select distinct dept from table" . Then i created a new parameter to get the values from the second dataset. After running the reports when i selected 2 departemnts, its still showing all the records.
I need to send a report to various email id based on parameters.
I have a report which has a dropdown which shows the list of parameters. I need to send report to 3 different email ids with different parameters. How to do that?
In VS2008 SSRS, when creating a dataset, only the name of the stored procedure was required. When populating the dataset, VS prompted for the parameters, whether or not there were any. In VS2010, the name of the stored procedure is not enough if there are parameters.When creating a dataset in Visual Studio 2010 for databases and stored procedures in SQL 2012, I must provide (what should be) run-time parameters to obtain a field list and then to preview the report.Â
So the embedded dataset looks like this (wherein the only parameter is a password): exec dbo.spu_procedure1 @PW='999'.This works well and as expected during report design and development. But 999 must be provided at run-time by the requester, and not in the dataset definition. If I remove the parameter in the dataset's exec string before deploying the report, the field list is cleared and the report is unusable. So I cannot overcome what seems a contradiction: necessary to obtain a field list, but "yet-to-be-provided" when the user selects the report.
By keeping @PW='999' in the dataset specification, the user cannot override the parameter and automatically has a password to view the report. Â
When  I click on the DataSet Query Desginer there is an Error Source:.NetSqlClient Data Provider. why this error comes and I have executed the SQL query in SSMS succesfully and the result comes. However this is causing the report from the report manager to fail.
This is the code which I have written in code window.
Public Shared Function CalcLocalFactor(ByVal CalcLifeCode As Integer, ByVal CalcFiscalAge As Integer, ByVal CalcLifeYearsUsed As Double, ByVal CalcLocConvention As String, ByVal CalcSRate As Integer) As Double Dim locCalcFiscalAge As Integer = 0 Dim locFactor As Double= 1.0 Dim locFactor1 As Double = 1.0 Dim REM1 As Integer = 1 Dim DEP As Double = 0 Dim YR As Integer Dim HALF_YEAR As Double Dim LINEAR As Double Dim MACR As Double If CalcFiscalAge > CalcLifeCode + 1 Then locCalcFiscalAge = 0 locFactor = 1.0 End If If (CalcLocConvention <> "HALF-YEAR" And CalcLifeYearsUsed < CalcLifeCode) Then locFactor = Math.Round((CalcLifeYearsUsed / CalcLifeCode), 4) End If If (CalcLocConvention = "HALF-YEAR") Then for YR = 1 to CalcFiscalAge step 1 If YR = CalcLifeCode + 1 Then locFactor1 = 1 Exit For End If If (YR = 1 Or YR = CalcFiscalAge) Then HALF_YEAR = 2 Else HALF_YEAR = 1 End If LINEAR = Math.Round(REM1 / (CalcLifeCode - YR + 1.5) / HALF_YEAR, 4) MACR = Math.Round(REM1 / CalcLifeCode * CalcSRate / HALF_YEAR, 4) If MACR >= LINEAR Then DEP = MACR Else DEP = LINEAR End If locFactor1 = locFactor1 + DEP REM1 = 1 - locFactor1 locFactor = locFactor1 Next End If Return locFactor End Function
I'm calling this code in a Report Parameter like below:
It is working fine for the first record where as for other records, the value is not getting changed. i.e. the first records value is coming repeatedly for all other records also.
How can I dynamically change the parameter values of the function?
Parameter is not accepting directly the field names, hence I used other parameter to initialize the field and used that parameter for this.
Ex. Parameter Name ; FieldPurchDate (internal) FieldName : PURCHDATE Other parameter: FieldInDate (internal) FieldName : InDate
While initializing the new parameter CalcPurchDate,, I used an expression for this: Parameters!CalcFiscalAge.Value
=iif(Parameters!FieldPurchDate.Value is nothing, Parameters!FieldInDate.Value,Parameters!FieldPurchDate.Value)
and using this CalcPurchDate for processing of the parameter:
I have a third party app that passes parameters (main dataset query) from the app to SSRS. Â Unfortunately, when the parameters are passed from the app they will contain equal signs ("=") in front of each parameter. Â For example, the parameters that may be passed to the main dataset query should be:
"HYDRO, OKO, ONEPL, TECHNI"
However, the parameters that are passed from the app, get to SSRS as:
"=HYDRO, =OKO, =ONEPL, =TECHNI"
Again, this is for the main dataset query and there may be one parameter or there may be any number of them.
Basically, I need to strip the "=" signs from the parameters. whether there is one parameter or ten.
I believe that I will need a custom function to strip the equal signs?
