I am trying to figure out how my query in report builder can work with source data column nvarchar and arabic text present. If I try to preview the report it says #provider parameter requires a value but it doesn't have one. The data in this column is all arabic. If I test in report build and provider value like منطقة الرياض no results are shown.
SELECT *
FROM [dbo].[CQM_Clinician]
WHERE #Provider IN ('',[Provider Name])
Thanks all who replied to the direction. The issue was i had to pass the parameter with the same datatype. N'Provider_Name'
SELECT * FROM [dbo].[CQM_Clinician] WHERE #Provider IN (N'',[Provider Name])

I am having an issue with a parameter and the convert function when executing my query in Report Builder.
I am having the following in my code:
CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), COALESCE(Status.POBDate, Status.[Sched Collection Date]),(#DateFormat)) AS [Collection Date]
,CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), Status.[Act Del Date],(#DateFormat)) AS [Delivery Date]
The (#DateFormat) parametner has data type Integer and available values as per the bild below.
The funny thing is that I can run the query in SSMS without any problem, but when trying to apply some adjustments in Report Builder, and save the report, it is complaining about the invalind argument even though, the parament (#DateFormat) was not edited anyhow. The report worked perfect online and only after opening it in Report Builder it started to complain also when I do not apply any new adjustments.
Any idea what can be wrong and how I could solve it?
I have checked some ideas here on stackoverflow, but nothing worked out so far.
Tones of thanks in advance!
Your parameter type is text not integer and that causes the error.
You can verify it by casting the DateFormat parameter to INTEGER in your SQL code
CONVERT(VARCHAR(11), COALESCE(Status.POBDate, Status.[Sched Collection Date]),CAST(#DateFormat AS INTEGER)) AS [Collection Date]
As a suggestion use the parameter to format the dates inside the report.
How to do it:
Remove conversion from your SQL code
In your parameter set it to text and as values set the date format string
For US ="dd/MM/yyyy"
For UK ="MM/dd/yyyy"
For your date fields set the format expression to = Parameters!DateFormat.Value
The 3rd party application is passing the parameter values as follows: Parameters=Collapsed&Priority=P1%7cP2. It is using a %7c (which is a pipe) instead of passing the parameters the way SSRS is looking for them as follows: Parameters=Collapsed&Priority=P1&Priority=P2. The parameter is multi select in SSRS and works in Report Builder just fine. My where clause is using IN (#priority).
How can I get SSRS to use the parameter values that are being passed in the URL?
If you can't change the application to provide the correct multi-value parameter syntax (...&Priority=Value1&Priority=Value2&Priority=Value3...) you can set the value that is passed to your dataset in the Parameters section of the dataset properties to be the following expression:
=split(Parameters!Priority.Value,"|")
This will take the pipe delimited list and separate it into a list of items that can be passed to your SQL query and used with the IN function.
I have created a dummy report to demonstrate this:
Parameter
Dataset
Dataset Properties
Report Result
I have a query that is using this convert function that correctly displays the data when I preview it in the SSRS Dataset:
CONVERT(varchar(255), HashedFileNum, 1) AS HashedFileNum
returns values like
0x7BB9D2F1A8A1B39832B95B932DD73A31
However when I try to add that field to my report I get #ERROR in the field instead of the value.
Any suggestions on getting the value to show in my report?
Try converting to nvarchar instead of varchar; I've had a similar issues in the past.
The following picture shows the query and its result with no variables:
The next one shows the same query with a variable and a different result:
This how the parameter was set just before the query execution:
I have also tried setting the parameter without '' but it produces the same result.
Any clue about what's going on? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
NOTE: The DBMS is MySql
This weird issue is due to the fact that SSRS is connected to MySQL by ODBC connector; therefore, the query parameters should be defined as ? and their names are Parameter1, Parameter2, etc... in order of appearance

In Report Builder 3.0 you can user parameters in a dataset query using the following syntax:
WHERE sql_column_name = (#Parameter_name_in_ReportBuilder)
Example:
SELECT * from [dbName].[dbo].[TableName]
WHERE Account=(#Parameter1)
Before you can run the report, you need to configure a paramter named Parameter1 (in this example, change this to the name of your parameter) in Dataset Properties - Parameters. The value field should be set to one of the parameters
I am new to reporting services and have a reporting services 2005 report that I am working on to use as a base report template for our organization. I am trying to place the date that the report was last modified on the report server into the page header of the report. However, I keep getting a 'ParamX' parameter is missing a value error when I try to This is what I have done:
Set up a Parameter ReportName with a default value of Globals!ReportName. It is also hidden and internal.
Set up a Dataset ReportHeader that calls a stored procedure that returns the date the report was last updated or another date, if the report is not on the report server. It has a parameter #ReportName assigned to the Parameter!ReportName.Value. The Dataset returns values when run on the dataset tab in the BI tool.
Set up a Parameter ReportVersion that has a default value Query From based on the dataset ReportHeader and picking the ModDate column. It is the last parameter in the report parameters list.
I assign a textbox to the parameter.
When I preview, I get "The 'ReportVersion' parameter is missing a value whether I place it in the report body or page header (which is where I want it). I have deleted and added the parameter again, toyed with the hidden and internal settings on it.
What does this error really mean, what I am missing, and can I even do this with parameters?
Thanks In Advance

If I understand what you're doing, it sounds like you want to be using a field where you're implementing a parameter...
You are returning the ModDate from the data source, correct? If you're doing this, you can simply throw a text box in there, and use something like this: =Fields!modDate.Value to display it.
Parameters are values that go in to the query, fields are what it returns.
Hope this helps...
EDIT:: OK so are you trying to retrieve the mod-date column value from the reportserver db? If that's what we're talking about, you'll need to add a few things to the report. Add a datasource to report db, a dataset containing the date (query below), a list object in the report linked to the dataset, and a textbox in said list object to display the field. If you hit the report server with a query like this:
SELECT MAX(ModifiedDate) AS ModDate FROM catalog WHERE name='myReportName'
That will return your modifieddate from the ReportSErvices Database as a field that you can use.
