I have a Report which includes an optional table. This has its visibility controlled by a user parameter.
When exporting to CSV file the hidden data gets included when it shouldn't.
How do I prevent it from being exported?
Thanks
I know this was not the expected behavior, but it is by design. In terms of a workaround, one option would be to use subreports instead of just tables. For example, you could have a main report that lists the parameter values in a table. Each one would have an Action that takes you to the appropriate subreport when you click on it. The expression for the Action can be a conditional statement to accommodate future changes in the values. Then you could easily export without worrying about visibility.

I want to eliminate page number value from the report only when tries to generate CSV file. But also we need that page number display when tries to generate pdf. Can anyone help me through this.

One option you could use to achieve this would be to create a parameter fields that asks the user if they want page numbers on the report each time the report is run. You can also include text that helps indicate not having page numbers is recommended for CSV file exports of the report.
The parameter field should provide an option for the user to choose Yes or No. You can default the answer to one of the two values to help speed up parameter value selection at run-time.
Then you use this parameter to control the Suppress property of the page number fields.
If you need help with setting up the parameter or the formula for the Suppress property, let me know in a comment and I can update this answer with more detail.
I have created one report in SSRS-2012. I need to show/hide(not inactive) one parameter based on one formula. Is it possible. I am using Visual studio 2010 for my front-end development and report viewer control for showing the report.
Help me please
Currently there is no way to dinamically hide parameters in SSRS. Depending on your requeriments you may have two ways to handle this issue.
Create one subreport for all parameters and another subreport that does not include the parameter you want to hide, then show dinamically the subreport to the user based on your expression.
Other option is have another parameter set as internal. And conditionally populate that parameter based on your expression. If your condition yields true, populate the parameter with the user selection, otherwise use a default value or populate it to null. At presentation level your parameter keeps appearing but the user selection will take effect only based on your expression.
I think the second option is easier, let me know if you need further help.
I have an ssrs summary report, which drills though to a detail report.
Depending on the data, certain tablix cells could possibly have no values in them.
I have to keep them visible due to formatting constraints.
It doesn't make sense for the user to be able to drill though from these value-less cells.
Is there any way to conditionally change that ability to drill though based upon the value of a tablix cellor dataset field? If how?
Instead of just choosing a report to drill through, click the function button.
You can enter an iif statement like
=Iif(IsNothing(Fields!MyField.Value), Nothing, "DrillthroughReportName")
or
=Iif(Fields!MyField.Value = 0, Nothing, "DrillthroughReportName")
I have a large project with a lot of reports, but the items in the reports are quite standard, reusable with parameters. So I've made subreports, that's OK. Now I assemble the reports by adding subreports to them by hand, plus setting the parameters, also by hand.
I think that this is not flexible enough, I'd like to have a table that defines the structure of the report: like one row per subreport, specifying the name and its parameter values. Then the report would be assembled together runtime in a list or something like that, by calling and inserting the subreport by name.
Is it possible somehow?
I can't think of a way to dynamically assemble a report like that without coding something that would generate the required RDL, upload it to the report server and then execute the report.
Another option might be to create one master report with all possible subreports in it. You could then use a table to control the visibility of each subreport, to simulate generating different reports. Obviously you don't want to execute long running queries for subreports that are hidden, so you would have to add a parameter to all your subreports so that if the subreport is hidden the dataset returns no data, e.g.
WHERE
(....) OR (#SubReportHidden = 'Hidden' AND 1=0)
Group,
We built a data cube using SSAS and are now building SSRS reports off of that cube. Not sure if anyone has come across this, but when you build the report using the wizard and include parameters all looks fine. However if you are in the report after the wizard is compete, and you decide you want to remove one of the parameters you created it debunks the report and the only way to get it back is to re-create the whole report.
Any way you can remove or add parameters after the initial build without destroying your report?
Thanks in advance for the help! I love this forumn!
I had the same problem and this is how I solved it:
Go to the data report tab.
Expand the Parameter button, Here you get a list of parameters.
Delete the unwanted ones.
If you look at the hidden datasets created for each parameter, each one has a query which depends on some of the other parameters, in a cascading fashion. Unless you delete the very last parameter, the other parameters won't work.
You can fix this by manually editing the parameter dataset queries can updating them not to use the parameter you want to delete.
The main query also uses the parameters in a nested FROM (... (... (... fashion. You need to update that so that it doesn't constrain itself to that parameter. Then there is a parameters button on top of the query builder which allows you to remove the reference to that parameter in the query.
I think if you remove the parameters from the wizard, it should update all the other parameters and the query to work correctly. This is probably the easiest route. All of your report objects should remain functional.
