How i can pass simple GUID value to a parameter #Param1 in SSRS. I have report with couple of parameters and i need to pass GUID to one of my parameters
SSRS doesn't understand uniqueidentifiers - it just assumes they are strings. Just set the value of the parameter to be equal to the GUID you want to pass (preferably in lower case).

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
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.
Can I use the below expression to pass multiple value in a parameter in subreport?
=Join(LookupSet(1,1,Fields!Name.Value, "DatasetName")," / ")
Will the Join and LookupSet function work in prameter value expression?
No your expression won't work. The Available Values for the Parameter are expecting a single record at a time.
I would create a parameter in the main report with the dataset as DatasetName with the Value of Name. You can set that to Hidden and don't need to use it.
Use that parameter to link to your sub report's parameter.
That should have the same functionality as what you want and would be faster that using the JOIN/LOOKUPSET.
As long as the receiving parameter in the subreport is set to "allow multiple values", you should be able to pass in the lookupset array itself without needing the JOIN function at all.
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
I'm working on a report where i need to use 4 parameters. They are SalesId, BeginningDate, Endingdate and SalesType
I need to set these parameters in a way that when a SalesId is entered, other parameters won't be necessary.
How can i do it?
you can work with datasets for each of the parameters and evaluate the first parameter's value as you receive it. include also a default value for those reports with the same conditional.
