I have an SSRS report with one parameter to choose from a dropdown with values like polk,collier.I would like to get the URL where I can skip the step of and get the pdf for each of the parameters.
Think this link from the Microsoft Website may help:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155391.aspx
E.g. In the case below - ReportMonth and ReportYear are parameters with values passed in.
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/AdventureWorks 2008R2/Employee_Sales_Summary_2008R2&ReportMonth=3&ReportYear=2008
This link will help you with the PDF export:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms154040.aspx
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/myreport&rs:Format=PDF
So for your example I would do something like:
http://myrshost/ReportServer?/yourreport&YourParameter=yourvalue&rs:Format=PDF
The simplest thing from the sound of it is to set up the report with that Parameter selecting all values by default, that way you can simply design the URL without specifying a value for the parameter, and it will automatically run your report for all of the values you told it to select by default.

I'm using SQL Server Report Builder 2014.
DatasetA is created from TableA in DatasourceA and contains a single column of IDs.
DatasetB, on which my report is based, needs to have all rows from TableB in DatasourceB WHERE TableB.ID IN (DatasetA).
I've done lots of Google'ing, but cannot find a solution that works. Suggestions?
For this you could use a hidden parameter in the report, lets call is ParamA. Populate ParamA using DatasetA, set it as a multi-select parameter and set the defaults using DatasetA i.e. all items will be selected.
Then in DatasetB have where id in (#ParamA)
As I know, when you use where name in (#aa) in query designer(text mode) and click OK, it will prompt like below
You could hard code in it, it seems to support single parameter to test in designer, but when you preview it in report, you could pass multiple parameters. You could click OK to ignore it or pass hard code in it to see whether parameters could work or not.
In addition, if you want to show dataset A's value in parameter list, you could set available value in parameter properties (get values from query)
The report parameter 'ServicePriorityNameParameter' has a DefaultValue
or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter
"ServicePriorityNameParameter". Forward dependencies are not valid.
This is the error I keep receiving when trying to use this parameter.
I also have a WorkCategoryParameter which I specified the values for. Also a RequestNumberParameter in which a request number can be typed into.
I have tried reordering my parameters and also adding a separate dataset in which to run each parameter off of. I'm pretty new to SSRS so any words of advice will help. Thanks!
Reordering the parameters in the designer does not actually reorder them. If you open the report's rdl file (if using visual studio just right-click the report in the solution explorer and select View Code). In there, look for the ReportParameters section and reorder the parameters from there. Basically you need to make sure that any parameters that are dependent on other parameters are listed after the thing they are dependant on.
E.g. If you had a parameter called #Countries to list countries based on continent and the dataset that supplied the values to that parameter read something like SELECT * FROM dbo.MyCountryTable WHERE Continent = #continent then the #continent parameter would have to appear first in the list as #Countries depends on it.
When a user runs the report, they can select a multi-value parameter. I know I can use Parameters!Value.Label(0), Parameters!Value.Label(1), etc to display the each of the values based on their location within the array, but the number of the values changes based on how many values the user selects.
The report separates each value onto a separate page. I'm looking to (a) have an expression that identifies which value's info is displayed on the page, and (b) an expression that labels the tab as the value when the report is exported to Excel. I expect the same expression would work for both.
I believe I should be using Array.IndexOf(Split(Parameters!Value.Label.ToString(), ","), Parameters!Client.Label), but just get #Error as the output when the report renders. I'm not sure, but it seems like the Array... expression would only identify the location within the array.
Could someone offer some insight into where the syntax is wrong? I'm not sure if the issue is syntax or it's an issue of how to specify which dataset to use in the expression.
Thanks.
This is what you should use
=Join(Parameters!CSR.Label, ", ")
There is a SSRS report, with one parameter, I only know its label not the values. So how can I get the report by URL? I know how to render a report with all the parameters set by defaults to Excel. But this report has the parameter not set to default, so I have to manually select a value then run in report manager. And important thing is I don't know the available values for this parameter as I have only browser permission. So can't download rdl, can see the parameters etc as you can imagine. The url method seems only allow you to pass parameter value not parameter label. So is there anyway?
No, there is no way to do that. You must use the parameter value in the URL, you cannot use the label (unless value and label happen to be the same).
If you don't have access to the report definition then you will need to find someone who does, who can then find where the parameter values are defined and tell you what they are.
I am new to reporting services and have a reporting services 2005 report that I am working on to use as a base report template for our organization. I am trying to place the date that the report was last modified on the report server into the page header of the report. However, I keep getting a 'ParamX' parameter is missing a value error when I try to This is what I have done:
Set up a Parameter ReportName with a default value of Globals!ReportName. It is also hidden and internal.
Set up a Dataset ReportHeader that calls a stored procedure that returns the date the report was last updated or another date, if the report is not on the report server. It has a parameter #ReportName assigned to the Parameter!ReportName.Value. The Dataset returns values when run on the dataset tab in the BI tool.
Set up a Parameter ReportVersion that has a default value Query From based on the dataset ReportHeader and picking the ModDate column. It is the last parameter in the report parameters list.
I assign a textbox to the parameter.
When I preview, I get "The 'ReportVersion' parameter is missing a value whether I place it in the report body or page header (which is where I want it). I have deleted and added the parameter again, toyed with the hidden and internal settings on it.
What does this error really mean, what I am missing, and can I even do this with parameters?
Thanks In Advance
Jim
If I understand what you're doing, it sounds like you want to be using a field where you're implementing a parameter...
You are returning the ModDate from the data source, correct? If you're doing this, you can simply throw a text box in there, and use something like this: =Fields!modDate.Value to display it.
Parameters are values that go in to the query, fields are what it returns.
Hope this helps...
EDIT:: OK so are you trying to retrieve the mod-date column value from the reportserver db? If that's what we're talking about, you'll need to add a few things to the report. Add a datasource to report db, a dataset containing the date (query below), a list object in the report linked to the dataset, and a textbox in said list object to display the field. If you hit the report server with a query like this:
SELECT MAX(ModifiedDate) AS ModDate FROM catalog WHERE name='myReportName'
That will return your modifieddate from the ReportSErvices Database as a field that you can use.
