How to select a State(link) on SSRS report and pass that selection to a website(URL) and have it dynamically retrieve that State on that website. This will display the Facilities in that State information.
So I have searched high and low and I keep finding variations of this question but nothing exactly like this. Is it possible?
The expression is something like this:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state="& Fields!State.Value
It looks like you already know what you need to do with link to add the state to it from the STATE field:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state=" & Fields!State.Value
To use it, you'd have an object (probably a table) where you display the state name as the expression.
Then add an ACTION to the text box to Go to URL with your expression:
="http://hcaxxxxxcare.com/locations/?state=" & Fields!State.Value
You were correct it was a silly space. I can't believe it but thank you!!

Could someone please help me with configuring my access database? I would like to use a combo-box at the top of the form where the user selects from the available work forms (Column 1 in Table) and then it displays who is involved in the form. Currently it displays every field and to reduce to the information displayed I would like it to only display information if the cell has a value in it.
Am I using the wrong tool? Should I be using a Report instead? How's my table data, too much?
Many Thanks
My current form
My wanted result
The way I normally hide empty fields is to change the label for a field to a control and set the control source to the following:
=IIf([FieldName]<>'', "My label:", Null)
Then I set the CanShrink property on both the "label" and the field to Yes.
Finally I make sure the section it's in (typically the detail but you may have reason to use something other) also has CanShrink set to Yes.
When you stack the controls on top of each other in this manner you should get the result as you posted.
Note: this only works for reports or if you print the results of a form. If you do not intend to allow entry of data into the form it would be better served as a report.
I've created a hyperlink control on a form page in an Access 2013 App hosted in SharePoint 2013, and want the text to display the same text ("Print Timesheet") while the actual link itself varies based on the value of a field in the record. This is so that I can link to a separate application using a query string with the individual record ID, which gets the data directly from the azure database and formats it in order to be printed out.
I've tried a macro expression to create the link address that runs "on current" and sets the value of the hyperlink, and also tried a computed column in the table to create the link which I pass to the hyperlink control value. I've set the "Default Display Text" on the hyperlink control to "Print Timesheet" in both cases.
The problem I have is that whichever way I try it, changing the value on the fly like this overrides the default display text of the hyperlink so that it displays the address itself rather than the text I want to display.
Is there any way round this?
Thanks,
Duncan
I am not sure if you got your answers. I was randomly looking on internet and found your query.
I thought the thread Troubles with Hyperlink control in Access Web App forms may have your answer.

If you have to build a url field dynamically, the basic syntax is
displaytext#url#
so, in my dynamic field....
=Concat("Click here#/relative/path/on/my/sharepointsite/allitems.aspx&ID=",[ID],"#")
....
You could use a label on the form to represent the link. Have the Label.Caption property set to "Print Timesheet" and use the On Current event to set the Label.HyperlinkAddress property to whatever the address from the recordsource is.
Good Afternoon All
I use SSRS all the time and when making reports i normally insert a placeholder at the title, so whenever i write anything in a specific parameter, it will show on the placeholder using the tool tip.
I have now gone onto selecting multiple items on my parameter and the problem that i am getting is that the placeholder can only show one of many i selected, i have been trying to find out how i can use the placeholder to show all items i select, but had no luck at all.
Could you help me in the situation that i am in...
Look here
=Join(Parameters!ParameterName.Label, ",")
I was wondering if there was a way to create a directory listing report in ssrs and if so, how would i go about creating it.
I'm mostly familiar with creating tabular and some somewhat complex reports, but nothing like this; so any help would be extremely useful.
Here's a sample of how the report might look.
Thanks!
Addendum: The content on each page needs to be grouped by Department & Sub-Department.
I made a mistake on the sample report; where it says Department Subtitle it should say sub-department.
Here's one way I've seen it done.
For a 3 column look, create 3 tables/list with the same dataset and set visibility for details group to:
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=1,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table1
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=2,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table2
=IIF(ROWNUMBER("YourDataSet") mod 3=0,FALSE,TRUE) <--Table3
I think your problem is an addition to this question here.
I did a simple test that imitates your situation. Here is how to do it:
Set the report to 3 columns via Report properties. Adjusted the width of each column so that they fit in 1 page of paper.
Add a List control to the first column. Put Text Box controls inside with the required data fields. The List control will repeat for each Listing record.
Create groups for Department and Sub-Department via Row Groups pane. Rearrange the groups so that they will appear above the List control.
Right-click on Department group (or Sub-Department group) and add Page Breaks.
Preview (Should get a result pretty close to what you want)
I have four parameters in my report. Now I want to configure the report to show only one parameter in every line. In this case I want to have 4 parameter rows.
Is this possible?
Short answer: no.
Long answer: You can create a web page and build the parameters and pass them in yourself. Or a real hack is that you may be able you use a report with textboxes formatted to look like buttons which then link to your actual report.
