I am working on a SSRS report that I will be subscribing through an email which should render as MHTML. However, many times, the report has too many records, which leads to the following error - Exceeds Max MIME Parts Per Message. So, is it possible to restrict number of rows or pages that I can send through the report via an email. I don't see any option for the restriction.
No, there isn't an option to restrict the number of records for a subscription so why don't you create one?
Create a parameter called LIMIT with a Yes/No selection and default to NO. For your subscription, set the LIMIT parameter value to YES.
Add a Filter to your Dataset based on your parameter.
For the Expression, you need a unique value - whether it's an ID field or combination of fields. Equal values will only be counted ONCE.
For the Value expression, if the LIMIT is Yes then use the number of records that will fit in the email. For the else, use a large number - more than you would ever expect in the report.
=IIF(Parameters!LIMIT.Value = "Yes", 100, 1000000)

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.
I have a report that uses a client list as a limiting parameter.
where [account no] = #Client
However I really want it to run once each month for every client on the list. The only way I know of doing this is to set up a different subscription for each client but the list is very long and I'm looking for a quick cheat to prevent me having to set up a few hundred subscriptions.
Is there a way to tell SSRS to run the report once for each client in the parameter list and send the results to an email?
This will create a single report that contains every client, not sure if this will be suitable but here goes anyway...
Create a new report.
Add a dataset that contains a distinct list of client account
numbers.
Add a table with a single column and single row
Make the table the width of your report (minus margins)
Set the table's dataset to be the dataset you just created.
In the table cell, insert a subreport
Set the subreport to be your original report
Set the subreport parameter to be the account number from your dataset (from step 2)
You probably want to add pagebreaks on the detail row group etc but this should get you going.
I have a report that takes one parameter (an order no) and creates a document for that order, pulling in some address fields, etc.
My customers want the ability to select multiple order numbers at once and print out say 10 different sheets, one for each order. everything would be the same on each sheet, save for the order specific information.
my problem is that currently, toggling the parameter to accept multiple values jams all the information for all 10 orders into the same place on one instance of the report. Is there a way around this?
Please let me know any and all further clarification or examples you need.
Use a sub-report to run the same report multiple times with different parameters.
Create a new report with a multi-value parameter for the order #'s.
Add a tablix that uses the multi-value parameter to display each order #.
Replace the field that displays the order # with a sub-report.
Wire-up the sub-report to point to your original report and pass in the order #.
To make sure each report prints on a different page:
Group by order # in the tablix (shouldn't change the tablix output if each order # is unique)
Right click the Row Group and select "Group Properties"
Choose "Page Breaks" and check the box "Between each instance of a group"
I have a SQL database and using SSRS to produce reports. They are both 2012 version. The data is well water levels that are record every hour. Originally I have the report displaying ALL of the data for a user selected well (dropdown list). The user can also select the start and end date (text box) But the well levels don't change that much every hour unless there is a significant rain/flooding event. So I want the user to have the option to choose only the noontime values for each day. Is there a way to have a checkbox that would either 1) change actual query the report is using or 2) include filter that says only display 12:00:00? The parameter options seems to want to include a date and I only want to filter by time.
Thanks
I think the solution for you is to add a parameter to your report to be able to select what information to show with 2 possible values - All / Noon only. Then add a new field / calculated field to your dataset to indicate which ones are noon values. Then use the new parameter to filter the values showed in the report.
Hope it makes sense.
My 2008R2 reports have cascading parameters that ultimately determine which "selections" are selected by default in the final parameter. This report has worked for months as the number of possibilities in the last parameter has been growing as our company has been signing on more business.
Today all of my subscriptions broke with the error: The subscription contains parameter values that are not valid.
When I looked at the report subscriptions I noticed that the report is no longer loading the default selection of all. The # of items in that drop-down is 1,890. Yesterday, the last day it worked, the # was 1,876. The value being loaded in for each selection is 8 characters long.
Is there a limit that I've surpassed for the default to be selected?
There is a limit for the size of multi-value parameters. I believe it is related to the total length of the selected parameters. One source says it maxes out at 7062 characters. But I suspect the formula might be more complex than that and related to other parameters as well.
Either way, sounds like you've passed the limit.
If users are always just accepting the default, then you could code that into the query directly instead of a parameter.
