I have a report that has three params. one is dropdown. It created automatically when i supplied
name and value, Then If we select multivalue, it shows multivalue dropdownlist.
But I am not able to create a textbox. That will act as a parameter to be supplied in report.
for that I have created a parameter, set it to allow null and datatype = "text" .
parameter visibility is also visible but as a result I can see a textbox which is a disbled one.
How can this textbox be made to work?
While in the Report Parameter Properties for the text field in question, chose Allow blank value (rather than Allow null value). In the Default Values section of the properties dialog, choose Specify values, Add a blank default value.
Now you will have a working text field that the end user can type into, and you can use that value for searches in your query.
Hope this helps
To allow user to enter the parameter value manually:
Right click on the parameter and select Parameter Properties
On the Available Values tab, select None
Click OK
Now users can manually type in the parameter value.

I need to run the report, without selecting anything, with parameter field blank, and be able to view all the data.
the problem is that it necessarily asks me to enter a value (all or multi values).
Who can help me?
If you make sure that you do the following...
Set the parameter to "Allow blank value" and/or "Allow null value" depending on what datatype it is.
Set the default value to Blank (="") if applicable
If you have a list of available values set, make sure the default value is included.
The following example uses sample data from sample database and contains just a list of company names and their ID's.
The main dataset query filters the data based on 2 parameters (one is text the other id numeric to show different scenarios)
This is the dataset query
SELECT CustomerID, CompanyName
FROM [AdventureWorksLT2019].[SalesLT].[Customer2]
WHERE CompanyName LIKE '%' + #pSearch + '%'
and CustomerID > ISNULL(#pID, 0)
ORDER by CompanyName
The report design looks like this with 2 parameters defined
The first parameter is text and has "Allow blanks values" checked, the Default value is set to an expression =""
The second parameter is an integer, This time we have set "Allow null value" on but we have not set a default value.
Note: Neither parameter has any available values set...
When the report is run I get the following results without pressing anything.
Only if I manually set any of the parameters do I need to press View Report, but when the report first runs, there is no need to click anything.
If the above does not help, then show how the parameter(s) are setup up, what types they are, what the available values are and what the default values are.
I have an SSRS report that has a hidden parameter that is based on a dataset. the parameter is multivalued and is set as the default value as well. If the dataset returns no data is there a way to suppress the message during report preview "The parameter name is missing a value" and continue to load report.
I've not tested this but I would do something like...
Allow null values on the parameter.
Then in your report check the number of selected items in your parameter and set the hidden property of a text box (with your info/warning in) to show the textbox if something nothing is selected. Set the Hidden property to something like
=Parameters!myParameter.Count >0
Alternatively check the first value is not empty with something like
=LEN(Parameters!myParameter.Value(0)) > 0
My SSRS report (2008 version) has two parameters. The first is a textbox receiving input for Supervisor' userid. The second is a drop-down which depends on the first parameter to show the all the staff name working under the supervisor. My questions is how the second parameter can refresh automatically after I input the first parameter in the textbox. Do I need a hidden parameter?
In parameter window go to advanced mode and select auto refresh always
In parameter properties for your first parameter, go to advanced properties an select always refresh.
Make sure that your first parameter name is the same as the #user_id used for your second parameter.
The first parameter doesn't need a default.
I'm trying to create a field to a database where the value is based on the sum of 2 other fields in the database which contains null values. I am trying to add
NZ([Number1])+NZ([Number2])
to the Expression in "Field Properties" "General" but access won't save it. Any ideas what i'm doing wrong?
If Access does not allow Nz() to be used in a Calculated field then you can use this instead:
IIf(IsNull([Number1]),0,[Number1])+IIf(IsNull([Number2]),0,[Number2])
Edit re: comment
To return Null if both components are Null, try
IIf(IsNull([Number1]) And IsNull([Number2]),Null,IIf(IsNull([Number1]),0,[Number1])+IIf(IsNull([Number2]),0,[Number2]))
Please follow these directions to add a calculated field to your table:
Open the table by double-clicking it in the Navigation Pane.
Scroll horizontally to the rightmost column in the table, and click the Click to Add column heading.
In the list that appears, click Calculated Field, and then click the data type that you want for the result. Access displays the
Expression Builder.
Begin typing the calculation that you want for this field, for example: Nz([Number1]) + Nz([Number2])
Note It is not necessary to precede the expression with an equal
sign (=).
Click OK. Access adds the calculated field, and then highlights the field header so that you can type a field name.
Type a name for the calculated field, and then press ENTER.
I have a report with a set of input values for a parameter.I have used a drop down for showing the list of input which are basically an id field and a name field.Now when i select one input from the drop down i get the id field which is passed as input for other quarries.
But my problem is that i further need the name field of the selected item in the report body.
Is there any way to do this other that creating a separate dataset and passing the is to that.
Any help will be appreciated.
You can add a parameter value to any part of a report that will accept an Expression field (such as a Textbox, Tablix cell, etc) by editing the expression to be:
=Parameters!ParameterName.Value
- or by selecting the appropriate parameter from the Item pane of the Expression dialog.
You can display the name field (instead of the parameter ID value) by changing Value to Label - like so:
=Parameters!ParameterName.Label
