I have several filters in the SSRS report.
I would like to use multiple-selection but I have blank values.
What can I do when I want to choose Select all and in this case I want to include all values (Blank and Null)?
I would replace the Blank and Null values with a dummy value e.g. 'Unspecified' (assuming it's a text column.
Ideally, that happens upstream from SSRS for best performance and consistent results. If necessary you might have to derive that as a column in your dataset SQL, or even a dataset calculated column with an SSRS expression as a last resort.
Note your dataset driving the parameter must stay consistent with the dataset(s) providing the report page data.

I would like to custom the Report SSRS TaxReport_IT, I need to add a new field in order to use in to SyntethicReport Design.
(for example)
The classes involved seems these:
TaxReport_IT
TaxReportDP_IT
TaxReportController_IT
TaxReportContract_IT
Tables involved:
TmpTaxReport_ITSummary
TmpTaxReport_IT
TaxReportTmp_IT
Are there others? Are there some Queries involved?'
I added the new fields in to table _TmpTaxReport_IT_, and I pupulated the related tables
I'm sure, in to the method I pupulated correctly the new Field (I have the values that I expect), but when I print the Report I get a lower value. Seems like I don't take the total data set.
How can I add the new field and take the correctly total value?
I saved the data (about my custom field in a RegularTable) and the sum is correct, but I have mismatch when I print the report.
I think I skip some step to Report DataSet.
I use Dynamics AX 2012.
Thanks in advice!
I have an idea what could be wrong, but I'm making some assumptions. If they are not correct, please edit your question to clarify.
From your screenshot, it looks like you want to add your new custom field in the header section of the report design. I'm assuming the expression of that field looks similar to
=First(Fields!MyCustomFIELD.Value, "TaxReportDS_IT")
Note the First key word in that expression. This indicates that the value for that field should be taken from the first of the records of the report's dataset.
I'm assuming that you calculate the value of the field while the records in table TaxReportTmp_IT are being created so that each record has a different value. Maybe it is a sum of some other field, so the first record would have the smallest value and the last record the highest.
If all those assumptions are correct, you can fix this by changing the First keyword to Last. This indicates that you want to take the value of the last record of the report data set.
See also the documentation of the Last Function.
I am designing a report for SSRS. I want the user requesting the report to be able to specify, when they generate the report, from a pre-defined selection some values which should be displayed in a tablix on the report.
I have therefore created a multi-value parameter and populated the Available Values with the options I want the user to be able to select from, and, as expected, when the report is generated the user is able to select one or more of these values.
However, what I now want to do is include a tablix in the report, and display a row for every value in the multi-value parameter that the user selected, with the value displayed in the first cell of the row.
If the values were coming from a data table this would obviously be easy. I've also found answers on how to show all of the selected parameter values in a single textbox using the JOIN function, but I don't want to do that.
The only solution I can think of is to replicate the list of available values in the multi-value parameter in a tablix manually, and link the visibility of each row of the tablix to the selected state of the corresponding value in the multi-value parameter, but that's not very elegant and increases the effort involved in maintaining the report definition.
Any ideas on how to do this? I know the selected values from the parameter simply form an array, but I can't see how to bind a tablix to any data that isn't in a dataset, or how to create a dataset from the parameter values.
Considering that a tablix sources from a dataset, I did some experiments to see how to create a low maintenance solution for you.
Option 1: Create a data set with hard-coded options to match your multi-value parameter and select those options WHERE they exist in the parameter.
Example:
SELECT val
FROM (
SELECT 'opt1' as val
UNION SELECT 'opt2'
UNION SELECT 'opt3'
UNION SELECT 'opt4') a
WHERE val IN (#Param)
Thoughts: easier to maintain than visibility on a table, but still two hard-coded places within the report.
Option 2: Create a dataset that selects the multi-value parameter and splits it by each value. This was my first idea, but I ran into some issues with determining how to actually select the multi-value without a syntax error. I came up with a method that creates a deliminated string in the report and than parsed that string back into rows in the dataset:
Step 1) Within the dataset properties, on the parameter tab, join the multiple values together with a JOIN expression
Step 2) Create a simple query which uses the new SQL Server 2016 function string_split. Note that your database compatibility level MUST be 130 or higher to use this function (SQL 2016+). If this isn't your scenario, there are many string split functions that you can find on Stack Overflow to achieve the same thing.
Fun problem!
I am generating a table in SSRS based on the selection made by the user on two filters: Filter1 and Filter2 (say). The table so displayed has 10 columns and I wish to add filter option listing all available values for that column for all 10 columns.
Basically, I am trying to replicate the Excel functionality of filtering down data on each and every column.
Please note that I tried creating a new data set and a parameter taking all distinct values for a particular variable. However, I am still not able to get the desired results by filter the tablix on that parameter
Is there a way I can do that?
You'd need to make a new dataset that is a smaller version of your main dataset. It would need to return all potential values for the column(s) you want to filter in a single column to be used in a parameter.
Without seeing the design of the report or the dataset itself it's quite hard to be more specific.

I am changing the data sets of our reports to standard data sets. In some cases the names of fields have changed. Despite changing the cells to the new names I get an error of:
"The Group expression for the grouping ‘companyname’ refers to the field ‘companyname’. Report item expressions can only refer to fields within the current dataset scope or, if inside an aggregate, the specified dataset scope. Letters in the names of fields must use the correct case.
"companyname" changed to CompanyName and there is no group by companyname in the Dataset SQL. How can I change that in SSRS?
Whenever I've faced this, the places to check are:
Row Groups
Column Groups
Header text boxes for interactive sorting
9 times out of 10 when I can't find it, it's in the interactive sorting on text boxes.
I guess that's easy... I have a multi-value parameter that got the list of values from a query. I would like to select as default value the last row.
Can I achieve this using a expression? I would like to avoid creating a second query just to get the last value from the previous query...
In the default parameter expression you can't refer to the field of the dataset, so you can't write something like Last(Field!MyVar.Value, "DataSet1"), as a workaround you can order your dataset to retrive last row as first and use "Get values from a query" which choses first row, if you can't do this then replicate your dataset in the only one solution.
I am working with SSRS 2012 and I was using a multi select option on my report so when I chose the "Get Values from a query" I got all of the values as the default.
I did find a solution. In my report I needed the default name of the town to be the first one so I created another set with the name of the column and a calculated measure that said "[DimTahanot].[Tahana Name].&[אילת]" and filtered it by the same one. (Please ignore the different language). Although hard coded it was good for this report. You could create another hidden parameter for this set if you need it to be the first one by amount or any other parameters that should effect this value, using the filter as a parameter.
Hope this helps.
