I have a problem with my paginated report and I need help. I have three parameters in my design and whenever I run it, the parameters don't ever appear on the reports. I have tried it in different ways but the result always comes back to me same way. Please could anyone help me with this? Even when I click the parameter pane, the parameters are nowhere to be found.
I have also deleted it several times but still does not work.
Do you just try to run it on the preview mode? if so you just need to close the SSDT and reopen it

I am having a strange issue with SSRS 2016. We setup a new server and uploaded some reports, the reports ran fine for few days. The issue is, randomly the report doesnt run, When I load the report page, the parameters appear blank and I am unable to select any parameters. If I try to run and click the view reports button, nothing happens. After few mins/hours, it automatically resolves.
We have contacted MS support and could not get anything to get this resolved
Has Anybody faced a similar issue ?
This does not constitute an answer but it won't fit in a comment!
Does this affect more than one report?
If more than one, do they all fail at the same time or will one work and another not when you try to run the at the same time?
If the situation is "all fail" or "all work" at any single point in time then try adding a new report with no parameters.
If this attempts to run when other reports fail then it sounds like the datasource cannot be resolved or a timeout connecting to the database.
If your parameters are populated by querying the database the report will 'hang' until it can complete the queries to populate the parameters so by running a parameter-less report you should see an error instead.
Try running a trace on the database server to see if you can see the queries being run at all.
A bit vague I know but it might help you understand where the problem lies a little better.
I can't figure out what is going on with my report in Access 2010. When I run it, all the queries and recordsources are generated and the report shows up, perfectly full of data and formatted in print preview. If I try and print a hard copy or export to PDF, the subreports don't print. I have done compact and repair, closed and opened, and check everything I know, but it's not working. The only thing that I can think of is that the subreports are based on temp tables I generate and set within VBA after I pull all the parameters I need. But I don't see why this would cause it to preview but not print? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Here's the solution I found... when I moved the table creation code to the button that prompted the report rather than having it use the openargs in the open event of the subreport, it worked. Don't know why exactly it liked it one place better than the other, but I'm glad that it works now!
After many hours in research and experimentation the only solution was a third party print function: http://www.lebans.com/reporttopdf.htm. Leben’s function always produces a printable PDF with visible subreports.
No modification of the report’s properties was of any value, though this is suggested by various posts; it failed to work for me. Similarly, compact and repair failed to help, as did the creation of a wholly new MDB file and importing all the forms/tables/queries. I ran the MDB in Access 2003 and in Access 2010 on another machine and had the same failure.
This points of course to the issue being embedded within Access. Research shows this has been an issue plaguing Access for many years; in its inimitable lack of care for users getting work done Microsoft has failed to even comment on this, much less fix it.
I had a similar issue and thought that I should post my fix in case someone else runs into the same problem.
I had a report with two subreports on it. From a form, I would select from several combo boxes and then hit the button to run the report. When the report opened (in preview and in report-view) it looked fine, and the subreports worked fine. However, when I tried to print or save, the subreports would not show up.
My solution was in my queries and in the form. The report's source queries were pulling criteria from the combo boxes on the form. Once the report was run, the combo boxes would clear, thus clearing the criteria for the queries. After the report is run, the report looks at the queries again when you try to print/save.
If you have a similar setup, I would suggest checking your source queries again after the report is run to see if you are still getting results. You should see the same data in your queries and in your report. If not, there's where to start looking. Hope this helps anyone else struggling with the same issue.
I am building a report with one "go to report" and in that new report I have one subreport. Now, when I´m sitting and working with the report and for instance changing the format for a cell the report doesn´t view the new changes directly. Sometimes it does. Sometimes I have to wait a while, sometimes I restart BIDS. Has anyone experienced this problem before?
I think the way VS maintains subreport data when designing means the definitions can get stale; does a Rebuild Solution before previewing help?
This should hopefully make sure everything is up to date and for a Report project/solution it should be quick to rebuild.
Was wondering if there is any way to get back into the Report Wizard in SSRS, after completing it. I find myself often wanting to tweak something, but can't see any way to get back into it without restarting everything from scratch - very annoying! Does anyone know a way?
Thanks
Unfortunately, I don't think it is possible to get back to the wizard without making a new report.
I have 2 drop down parameters on my report (not linked). How do I make it so that when I change any one of those parameters the report refreshes?
I see the following options which sounds exactly like what I want, but it doesn't work...
I am pretty sure the screenshot is related to caching the underlying data in preview mode. I have not found a way to do what you are asking.
