Currently I have a URL that has a ?userid=2 at the end.
How do I need to read that and put that into a report parameter.
Create a parameter named userid (Parameter name is case-censitive) and use in your report:
=Parameters!userid.Value
As mentioned above, create a parameter in your SQL query or stored procedure with a name of userid. This will populate the parameter in the SSRS Parameters. Now, go to your Datasets in your SSRS report and open the Dataset Properties. Go to Parameters section and set the value for the userid parameter to
=Parameters!userid.Value
The parameter name is case sensitive.

I have a report which has 5 parameters and i want to open another report from this report which has 13 paramaters.
When i try to open this report it says some parameters are missing.
I want to know if it is possible like, if i do not pass parameters then it should ignore these parameters in repport and also in SQL query (all these are multivalue parameter).
I cannot use "allow null values" as these are multivalue parameter.
This is main report
These are parameters in sub report which i want to call
Can someone help me please? or i need to create seperate subreport with exact parameters everytime
There are two common ways of doing this.
Populate parameters with a list default values
In your subreport, taking #service as an example. If you can get a list of services from your database then create a dataset tat gives a list of distinct services, use this as the default value for your parameter. Then when you do not pass anything from the main report, the subreport will use all services.
Set the default parameter value to a fixed constant
The other option is to set the subreport parameters to a default value such as *all and then handle this when it is passed to your subreport's dataset query.
So the dataset query might be something like
SELECT *
FROM myTable
WHERE location in (#location)
AND (service = '*All' OR service IN(#Service)
The 3rd party application is passing the parameter values as follows: Parameters=Collapsed&Priority=P1%7cP2. It is using a %7c (which is a pipe) instead of passing the parameters the way SSRS is looking for them as follows: Parameters=Collapsed&Priority=P1&Priority=P2. The parameter is multi select in SSRS and works in Report Builder just fine. My where clause is using IN (#priority).
How can I get SSRS to use the parameter values that are being passed in the URL?
If you can't change the application to provide the correct multi-value parameter syntax (...&Priority=Value1&Priority=Value2&Priority=Value3...) you can set the value that is passed to your dataset in the Parameters section of the dataset properties to be the following expression:
=split(Parameters!Priority.Value,"|")
This will take the pipe delimited list and separate it into a list of items that can be passed to your SQL query and used with the IN function.
I have created a dummy report to demonstrate this:
Parameter
Dataset
Dataset Properties
Report Result
I have passed one parameter to report server url.
http://<your server>/ReportServer?/<folder>/<reportname>&UserID=Name
How can I read UserID value in report.
Or
How can I print this value in any of the textbox to check what is passed to it?
For example: Above url should show 'Name'.
Based on your comments I think you've figured this out already, but all you should need is the parameter UserId to exist on the report and it will get its value from the query string.
A couple other problems that can crop up when trying to pass a parameter:
Report parameters are case sensitive
Report parameters with visibility set to Internal can't be passed a value through URL
See also: Pass a report parameter within a URL on MSDN
You can try with the Built-In SSRS fields ...
Try using Expression -> Built-In-Fields -> UserId should work in this case, if I understood your question correctly...
OR
Try manipulating the report server URL. Provided below one for example ...
=mid(Globals!ReportServerUrl , InStr(Globals!ReportServerUrl,"&UserID=")+8)
Issue was with my parameter UserId.
I have set it as Internal that's why it was set to default value blank space instead of passed parameter UserId value. (Now I am using hidden)
Note: Report parameters are case sensitive so in my case it must be UserId
In an existing SSRS 2008 r2, report, I am attempting to add a parameter called 'Customer_Category'. I am getting the following error message:
The report paramter 'CustomerNumber' has a DefaultValue or a ValidVaue that depends on the report parameter 'Customer_Category'. Forward pointing dependencies are not valid.
I am trying to determine how to fix this error. The 'CustomerNumber' is a parameter value that is obtained by reading from a dataset. In this dataset there are existing other parameters called 'Customer_Type' and 'Customer_Preference'. Both of these parameters obtain there values from selections that the user makes when the SSRS report is executing. There are no default values.
I am trying to have the 'Customer_Category' be the same way where there are no default values and the user must select the parameter value when the report is executing. There should only be one value that the user can select from.
The new parameter called 'Customer_Category' is the last parameter in the list of parameters. Does the order of parameters make a difference? If so, how can I move the 'Customer_Category' parameter in front of the customer_number parameter?
Here is the sql that is used from obtaining a list of customers from the dataset for customer_number:-
SELECT Distinct CustomerNumber
FROM BridgeUserCustomer
WHERE
Type = #Customer_Type
AND Preference = #Customer_Preference
AND Category = #Customer_Category
GROUP BY CustomerNumber
Would you tell me what is wrong and what I can do to solve the problem?
Summary
The order of parameters in your IDE (Report Designer or Report Builder) matters.
If you have a hierarchy of parameters (one level dependent on the other), the top-level parameter must appear first in the parameter list.
In SSRS these are referred to as cascading parameters.
Solution
Open the Report Data tab
Expand the Parameters folder
Select a parameter and use the up/down arrows to adjust order

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

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.
