How to use multiple fields to make a parameter?

I am designing a report in report builder where two parameters are needed, one parameter for the projection and another parameter for a particular budget level . I can create the first parameter for budget as that is using a specific field, I am looking for a way to build another parameter that allows the user to select a budget level and bring back results for that. The main issue is these budget levels are their own fields. I have done some searching on here and on google and I cannot find a way of doing this. I am not looking to create a multivalue parameter as each field has it's own column.
My SSRS knowledge is beginner at this point so forgive me if I was not specific enough.
Thank you in advance for your help/
Create a Dataset for budget level and use that in parameter's available value in parameter properties window. Check that below screenshot will get budget seletion.

Combining multiple drill through reports into one

First time posting here so please be kind.
I've come from using PowerBI to achieve pretty much everything I need to with a couple of clicks to using SSRS 2008... and I'm having a hard time. Here's what I'm trying to do:
I have a main report that summarizes some data on how long it takes to close down help desk tickets. On that report I have a table with summary figures (ie 220 tickets were picked up after 5 working days, 18 tickets were reopened etc). I want to click the text-box that contains 220 and be taken to a drillthrough report that contain the same table with column headers and just different row sets in each case. There will be 8 drill through actions in total and I currently have 8 drill through reports. Only 2 of those are parameter based, the others just filter the dataset based on some conditions.
What I'm trying to work out is this: can my 8 drill-through reports be rolled into one, if they're just different views of the same dataset? I've created some calculated columns with values (Yes/No because boolean doesn't allow multiple values) which are easier to pass to parameters. I also have 8 parameters on my detail data set. I've set up actions (where parameter1 = yes for instance) to take me to my detail report and use the corresponding parameter each time. It should work... but it doesn't and I can't work out why. Currently its' complaining that I can't compare a boolean to an int16 - neither the value in my calculated column nor the default parameter value is boolean or int. So, am I trying to do something that just isn't possible? Has anyone else achieved this?
Edit: here's the parameter
The error I'm getting is
The calculated column that should be checked against the parameter is
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!DatePickedUpByAgent.Value), "Yes", "No").
Here's how I defined the action to take me to the drill through report in this case
Here are the filters on the subreport dataset based on the parameters passed through from the main report. "NotYetPickedUpByAgent" is the example we've been discussing here. enter image description here
Could you please go through each of your parameters one by one.
I would suggest deleting all the filters and trying to run the report and subreport.
Then keep adding filter one by one.
I think issue can be any of the filter and not the one you think.

How to use two different data sets into two different result sets in a single report of SSRS

"Cannot read the next data row for the data set error converting data type nvarchar to float" while using two different datasets in a single SSRS report.
But the same works with 2 different reports.
Please help me with this.
Thanks in Advance!!!

How to select values for parameters in SSRS based on a previous parameter's selection?

I have a SSRS report that I am creating that has 4 dataset parameters:
#PullBy
#Employee
#FromDate
#ToDate
All Data Sources and Datasets have been associated with the report and the basic functionality of the report has been setup and tested.
How the parameters work is the #PullBy has 5 options:
Employee
Supervisor
Manager
VP
Admin
When 1-4 is selected you get a dynamic list generated for the next parameter #Employee.
The user then can (multi) select names from the second list and then set the To and From Dates to generate the report.
This is all working. I have been tasked to add the Admin option to the first parameter and its function when selected is to do the following:
Select All the Employees for the second paramter
Autofill the To and From Dates based on the current month
Is it possible to associate an Expression in SSRS for that parameter value that will then populate the desired selections in the parameters that follow?
I have searched for an answer to this and maybe it is how I am phrasing the question but I have found no answers thus far. Any help is appreciated.
The phrase to search for would be "SSRS cascading parameters". Yes, it's possible to reference previous parameters in the datasets for subsequent parameter values. If you run into a specific issue once you've tried it, post a new question with as many details as possible and we'll take a look.

SSRS reports from multiple queries

I am trying work on a requirement using SSRS 2008 R2. The requirement is to create a detailed report which has main query(dataset1). And a column in this main query is used as a join or input to another query(dataset2).
I am trying to create a parameter and get the value for this from the main query or dataset1. How do I assign this parameter to dataset2? Also I will have similar situation to create dataset3, dataset4 etc and all this sub queries needs to be joined to dataset1.
Can you please help me what is the best way to do this?
In Dataset2, use a SQL variable in your query. SSRS will create a report parameter for you. Then go into this new report parameter and tell it that its available values should come from Dataset1.
Then repeat for the other datasets. :)
