I have set up 3 cascading parameters in an SSRS report, 'Year', 'Subject' and 'Set'. All can have multiple values selected. Currently, no matter what is selected in the 3 parameters, only the 1st set is shown.
If for example, I choose years 10 & 11, for subjects Art, Biology and English and then select all the sets available (24) it will only show the set which would appear first alphabetically.
There are no filters currently set on either the parameters or groups in the report. In all the datasets the parameters are defined e.g. Subject IN (#Subject). All troubleshooting tips I have looked at seem to point to it being one of those 2.
Happy to post any information needed, just know with all the datasets, parameters, groups etc that there is a lot of information so did not want to flood the post with it.
Currently using visual studio 2008 sp1
Thanks

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 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.
I want to create a rdlc report using Microsoft Report Designer. Due to complexity of my data (the given below is just an example) I do not use View on Database side. So, I have to use seperate tables (data sources) for my report design. Now, as it can be seen the example below I have one report page and I want to show PERSONAL, FAMILY and JOB INFO for each person.
There are Textboxes on PERSONAL INFO section. The data is come from table_Personal,
There are a Table on FAMILY INFO section. The data is come from Table_Famiy,
There are a Table on JOB INFO section. The data is come from Table_Job
and all the three tables contain Person_Id column.
PERSONAL INFO
Name : Christof
Surname : Robin
Age : 45
FAMILY INFO
No----- Name----- Age----- Birt Place
1------ Sarah----- 12------ London
2------ Albert----- 16------ Manchester
3------ David----- 23------ NY
JOB INFO
No------ Company----- Start Year
1------- Xyz----------- 2005
2------- T Mobile------- 1999
3------- Day Inn------- 1993
My question is;
1) I do not want to use Subreport and do not combine these tables in db side by using view (I have searchhed, but for 3 or more tables it is impossible I think).
So, is it possible to create a master-detail report like above by grouping items (table, list, etc.) and without using subreport on rdlc? If so, could you explain a little bit please?
2) I have tried to create such a kind of report like that; I use a List and inserted all the textboxes and three tables above
to this list. I assign all the three tables as Report Data Sources. I make List.DataSetName = Table_Personal and List.Grouping settings
select Group on : Person_Id and some other combination. But, unfortunately I have not managed to create such a kind of report group like above.
Could you help me please by giving some advice and if you have some sample rdlc page source please? ...Shohel
Yes it is possible but I'd done it like 6 months ago, so I don't have any sample code right now.
I have done a lot of similar cases. One such case is there are a list of students and each student has a list of marks, a list of achievements, etc.
If I remember correctly I used one storedprocedure to get all the details of all the students. One dataset. And put 'em all in one tablix and grouped 'em.
The sub-lists (like the list of marks) are separate tablixes themselves and are inserted in textboxes of the main tablix.
Hope it helps! :)
I'm creating my first report for CRM 2011 using SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and i've managed to do a decent amount but as I move into the more complex parts i'm becoming stuck, and I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a few questions I have:
I'm using fetchXml to get the data from CRM for some accounts that the report is for, I need to include some data from a child entity but can't include them in the same way that I can for a parent entity to accounts. So for this I'm assuming I need to use a separate fetch query, but how do I pass the ID of the account the report is looking at into the second fetch query as a parameter?
Once I've got the names of all the child items with the fetchXml, whats the easiest way to display them all in a numbered list?
EDIT: For 1 and 2 I found that I can use a subreport with the child data in it. Using a list item I can show all in a bulleted list and I can pass the parameter through from the main report to the subreport
I'm listing the account's address on the report but since they might or might not have the lines 2 and 3 fields completed i'm unsure of how to display it without either missing off some of the address or leaving big gaps. I've tried creating different text boxes with the different combinations of line 1, 2 and 3 and then make only one visible with the use of expressions but the iif statement always returns false. Is there an easier way to do this?
EDIT: I've found out how to do this using a number of different text boxes containing the different combinations and hiding them using the visibility rule. What was initially confusing though is that the rule is for if the box should be hidden, rather than if it should be shown
When I add a field onto the report it always has a "First()" statement on it. Is this required or will it limit my report in any way?
EDIT: This doesn't seem to have an effect on the report as the record to run it against is always selected beforehand, so the First() statement doesn't restrict any data
If anyone could help me with any of these questions at all then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I've found the answers to my questions, i've put them in the original post.
I am creating a report where the parameter selection = customer_name and the report is one page and has 5 tablix relating to the customer. What my team would like is to be able to select more than one customer at a time to save time; however they want a separate page per customer_name. Can this be done with multi-value parameter and if so, how do I group so that the data does not comingle with each other?
Ex.
ABC Customer
RentTablix
ExpenseTablix
PAGE BREAK
EFG Customer
RentTablix
ExpenseTablix
I am over thinking this??? Please help ;-)
On the report parameter enable the multi-select option. Pass this through to your reporting procs ensuring it's handled properly (I think it's a comma seperated list). In the report add a list control and put all the tablix control into the list area. Set the grouping on the list region to be base on customer and specify a page break on change of customer in the list control.
