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

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.
Is there anyway to pass an optional parameter value as null in SSRS reports without using
:isNull=True in Report URL.??
I want to generate a SSRS report by firing the URL from the
front end application.
I will give two inputs as mandatory and another one is optional.
if optional input is not given, then the query should be refined accordingly
I want to pass Report URL as
"http://localhost/ReportServer/Students+Reports/&RollNo=1234&Name=John&Dept=null&rs:Format=PDF&rs:Command=Render"
I don't know whether I am asking silly or not. Please Help me out. Thanks in advance
Definitely not a silly question. I have done this within a .NET application.
However the URL is slightly different:
You need to use the report viewer, and call the render command inside of the URL. In the below example "ErrorID" is a report parameter.
Example:
http://myserver/ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?%20%2fReports%2fErrorManagement%2fErrorReport&rs:Command=render&errorId=6046
In the case for NULL values, the ISNull=True is the only way to accomplish this inside of the URL. Although, shouldn't be a problem. You can set the parameter to a default value of null, inside the report, and also in a stored procedure. When the parameter is not null, pass the parameter into the URL shown above.
I have a link to a report (SSRS 2008 R2):
http://reportserver/pages/reportviewer.aspx?/folder1/report1&hostname=SERVER2
This report has a (drop-down list) parameter which contains hostnames.
The drop-down list has these entries:
server1
server2
server3
Problem is that sometimes the hostname is passed in uppercase (i.e. SERVER2) and thus the hostname is not selected in the drop-down list does not match the URL parameter. This is because SSRS is case-sensitive with regards to parameter passing.
I do not want the case-sensitivity.
I tried the setting on the Dataset (Dataset Properties - Options - Case sensitivity), but
that did not work.
Is it possible ?
The values in the drop-down box or the URL, I cannot modify.
Best solution would be case-insensitive parameter VALUE passing.
Use the LOWER() function in your SQL or the LCASE() function in SSRS. This function converts the string to all lowercase and if you do it to both sides then effectively case doesn't matter.
So either:
WHERE LOWER(fieldName) = LOWER(#parameter)
or
=LCASE(Fields!fieldName.Value) = LCASE(Parameters!selection.Value)
More info:
LOWER (Transact-SQL)
Useful Built-in functions of SSRS
Update
I slightly misunderstood your question. So you're accessing the report by manually generating the URL with the parameter value in it? This value needs to be passed in a consistent manner or this isn't going to work. SSRS is case sensitive and you can ensure that the available values in the report parameter are formatted consistently using the functions above.
But the generated URL also needs to be consistent. By doing it this way you are explicitly setting the value of the parameter and if it isn't a valid, available value it isn't going to work. The issue here isn't really SSRS it is the fact that the source of the URL does not generate the parameter value in a consistent way.
Fix your URL construction.
I have problem how to passing parameter date field database in report.
I have set the parameter like this :- X.createDate= ${datetim} in MySql.
I have also put the parameter setting in pentaho designer. When i run the report. the result not appear.
Below is Screenshot for parameter setting in report:-
Anybody know about this?.
You set a query on the parameter. If a parameter has a query, the query's results will be used as validation source. Any provided parameter value will be checked and only accepted if it is found in that result-set.
First: Mark the parameter as mandatory, so that you get informed if the reporting engine considers your parameter invalid.
Second: the date-picker does not actually indicate which values are valid or not. So if you indeed only want to select parameters based on the available dates in the database, I would recommend to NOT use the date-picker. Use a drop-down menu instead.
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.
