I am using Sql Server Reporting Services 2008 R2. When "previewing" my current report, I see everything appearing as it should. The displayed query values are correct in my table, which reads straight from the single dataset.
However, I see this as a warning:
Warning 1 [rsRuntimeErrorInExpression] The Value expression for the textrun ‘Textbox20.Paragraphs[0].TextRuns[0]’ contains an error: Input string was not in a correct format. E:\SSRS_Projects\Custom Reports\Attendance\Attendance\MIA_1B_Math_Absence_Detail.rdl 0 0
The puzzling thing is that I have no objects named "Textbox20."
I tried browsing thorough the object list on the "Properties" panel
and didn't see it.
I did a Ctrl+F search for "Textbox20" and couldn't find anything.
I'm not sure what else I can describe at this point.
Does anyone know how I can isolate the cause of this warning?
Thank you
If I understand correctly, the warning message was caused by the incorrect previous expression, however, the warning message persists although the values displays correctly in the report after you modified the expression. Besides, the warning message came out even though you create a new report and use the right expression.This is a known issue in Report Designer. When there is a warning message generated in the "Error List" pane of the Report Designer, the warning message still pops up after we correct the previous error. Actually, it always pops up whenever we preview any report in the same project. To avoid the issue, we only need to close the project and reopen the project. That way, the previous error lists will be cleared and the warning message won't pop out unless there is still an error in the report design.And your table's columns and rows are here text box.so please select the table column and see the property name.
Try Using this code
=IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Data.Value),CSTR(FormatNumber(IIF(IsNumeric(Fields!Data.Value),Fields!Data.Value,0),2)),Fields!Data.Value)
SQL Server 2008 R2, using BIDS to design the report.
I have a table and I am trying to only show a certain row. Maybe there are better ways to do this, but I am coming across an error with the filter expression and regardless of how I achieve my initial task, I'd like to understand the filtering.
I started with the filter expression (set to type "Integer"):
RowNumber(Nothing) = 1
This gave the error:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
I found the solution to this is to change the 1 to "=1" as 1 is evaluated as a string.
So I then had:
RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
That changed nothing, I got the same error.
Then I tried to do that to the first part of the expression:
=RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
This changed the error to a deployment problem (still builds, which is frustrating):
Error pvInvalidDefinition : The definition of the report '/ReportName' is invalid.
I then tried using CInt on RowNumber:
CInt(RowNumber(Nothing) = =1
Then I can deploy it, but the error just changes back to the first one:
Cannot compare data of types System.String and System.Int32.
It seems no matter what I try here I either can't deploy the report or I get an error that I'm comparing a string to an int.
RowNumber returns an integer, so it seems like this should work. I've tried using the name of the dataset in place of "Nothing" but that doesn't change what I'm seeing.
I realize there are many ways to solve my initial problem, but I am curious as to why the filter expression is invalid.
Its better to hide a row with visibilty property. Just click on any text box and go to visibily tab . You can now click on show or hode and go to expression.
That default to Hide . So write an expression there to hide the row.
=IIf(NOT(RowNumber = 1),TRUE,FALSE)
Let me know if you get any error
RowNumber is not available to use in a Tablix Filter.
Using RowNumber(Nothing) <> 1 as a Row visibility property fixed the issue.
Using BIDS you are not given any error that indicates what the problem is, but importing the report to Report Builder and deploying it from there will give a more descriptive error that, in the end, helped me to solve my problem.
I am building a report that I would like to accept two values from the user, feed those into a query, and find the data associated with those entries.
For example, if you had a list of employees, performance measures, and values associated with those; then the user would select an employee name / performance measure, and they would get the scoring information on that employee for that measure.
I have two parameters, each being populated from SQL queries getting a distinct list of employee names and measures, and a table below that just pulls up information based on ~ 'WHERE name = #Name AND measure = #Measure' but when I click 'Preview' to run the report locally I get the error: "one or more parameters required to run the report have not been specified"
I know the parameters are working properly because I can feed their values directly into a textbox and the values populate correctly. Also, if I change the query to just accept one parameter (i.e. WHERE measure = #Measure) the query works.
I'm confused as to why this error is occurring since I know my parameters are functioning and being populated properly.
I experienced this behavior in .NET 4.0 using Local Reports (in .rdlc files), when one of the parameter's values was containing an emtpy string. Although setting the parameter was correct:
report.SetParameters(
new List<ReportParameter> {
new ReportParameter("Title", Messages.Title),
new ReportParameter("SubTitle", Messages.Subtitle))
}
);
It worked only as long as both parameters actually contained some characters, otherwise the mentioned exception was thrown.
This error is caused when you either
A) the parameter is spelled wrong in the actual report. Meaning that the query is expecting #Name but the report is passing #Names (or some other spelling).
or
B) Is it possible you are attempting to run the report with a default value on the parameter of NULL for #Name but the stored procedure requires an actual value?
This might be happening if you are building the report in Visual Studio and gave the #Name parameter a default value of (null).
Try removing the default value or making sure you #Name parameter has an actual value, even if it's just ''.
I had similar issue. Issue happened when you use SharedDataSource with parameters that are to have null value. If you use same query in embeded data source, there is no problem.
Unlike embebed data source, you have to define if parameters used in query of shared data sources are allowed to have null value as highlighted in screenshot here. In my case, there are two parameters in query of shared data source, that can have null value.
So after setting them to allow null, problem fixed!
This caused me many hours of pain. Turns out that it's to do with using a shared dataset.
Embed the dataset within your report instead and it works fine.
For me, setting the value of the parameter makes problem. I don't know why, but the parameter value was not able to accept a string.Empty or null. So i just gave a " " as value solves the error.
Sample
ReportParameter[] parameters = new ReportParameter[4];
parameters[0] = new ReportParameter("Name", EName);
parameters[1] = new ReportParameter("ShiftName", CurrentShift);
parameters[2] = new ReportParameter("Date", LoginDate);
if(ValidateReportData())//some condition
{
parameters[3] = new ReportParameter("Date1", LoginDate);
}
else
{
//parameters[3] = new ReportParameter("Date1", string.Empty);//this makes exception while calling Render function.
parameters[3] = new ReportParameter("Date1", " ");//Solves the issue.
}
I was having the same problem, it is now sorted on sql server 2008 r2.
I know this is now an old question,
but just to help others:
It was very simple really, just making sure the spelling including the case is the same and the use of #.
I have a shared dataset called currentSpaceByDrive with the following code:
SELECT
[DRIVE]
,[Volume_Size_GB]
,[VolumeSpaceAvailable_GB]
,[VolumePercentAvailable]
FROM monitoring.dbo.currentSpaceByDrive(#ServerID)
I add the shared dataset currentSpaceByDrive to my report and I give it the same name.
when I right click on it, the one on my report, dataset properties, the parameter is #ServerID.
#ServerID value comes from another dataset, called the_servers (where the user selects a serverID)
I have a report parameter also called #ServerID that gets its value from the_servers and is used to feed the #ServerID parameter on currentSpaceByDrive.
Too many #ServerID, I understand, but if you do your own test based on this, you will get it done.
See the image attached.
hope this helps

check DataSet In Report Server , I had Similar Problem , I was Editing Shared Dataset in Visual Studio , but it didn't work , after an hour of frustration I checked dataset in report server and I found out it Is not updating with changes I made in visual studio , I Delete it and Redeploy Dataset Again from visual studio . it works .
Actually I had to:
Delete the SubReport object from the report.
Drag new object from Toolbox
Setup the SubReport name and report
In Paramateres "Add", and choose each parameter, and related value.
Then is works for me.
I think I have same issue my Parameter Supervisor is blank when I choose "Select All" which causes the error "One or more parameters were not specified for the subreport", but if I select a few supervisor name then the sub-report appears. It is puzzling because the Manager parameter value shows all value when "Select All" is checked, but it is not working on my Supervisor parameter. Note that Supervisor parameter is dependent on manager parameter.
I'm using shared DataSets for several reports, and the root cause of this issue was not mapping the input parameters from the report itself to the parameters of the shared dataset.
To fix, I navigated to the "Report Data" panel, opened the dataset (which is really linking to a shared dataset), clicked the "Parameter" tab, and then mapped the report parameters to the parameters of the shared dataset.
I'm using SSRS 2005 and I'd like to be able to 'jump to' different reports depending on the value in a date field. For example:
=iif(Fields!Date.Value = Today, TodaysReport, OtherDaysReport)
When I use this syntax, I get this error when previewing the report:
The ReportName expression for the textbox ‘CallId’ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'TodaysReport' is not declared.
I don't get any error on the 'OtherDaysReport' parameter but I think the compiler gave up on the first error.
Is the syntax I'm using in the IIF statement valid in a 'Jump to Report' expression in the Navigation property of a textbox? If not, is there a different way to do what I'm trying to do.
I am not sure if you found answer to your problem yet. but for anybody with similar problem please try following
put your report names in quotations. In your case try
=iif(Fields!Date.Value = Today,"TodaysReport", "OtherDaysReport")
Also make sure you specify the right parameters and the "Omit" properties as required.
I have a problem with a Reporting Services report. My report has two datasets, one that fetches the actual report data and one that fetches translated resource strings for displaying wherever literal text is used on the report. This dataset requires three parameters, a language set id, a language code and a string to match against resource names.
Following an example I found here (the reply by Miguel Catalão) I have created a multivalue parameter #Resources that will be populated from the resource dataset and a code function that looks up specific values from the multivalue query. This function will then be called from expressions wherever literal strings are used.
I think that this should work but I have run into a problem that I can't quite figure out a workaround for. There is a dependency problem in the #Resources parameter being dependent on the Resources dataset which in turn is dependent on three parameters; #LanguageSetID, #LanguageCode and #ResourceNameLookup. I have read that the order of declaring parameters is important so I have made sure that the last three parameters appear above the #Resources one and that all three of them have default values that will result in data being retrieved by the dataset.
Yet I am still getting the following errors when previewing the report; any advice or guidance would be most appreciated.
The report parameter ‘Resources’ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter “LanguageCode”. Forward dependencies are not valid.
The report parameter ‘Resources’ has a DefaultValue or a ValidValue that depends on the report parameter “ResourceNameLookup”. Forward dependencies are not valid.
I had the same error but it was due to something else. What I had done was created a Parameter in my report, then linked the Default Values to a Dataset.
This in turn added the parameters needed in the Dataset. Somehow, the order of the parameters in my list were changed. This is when I stared getting the 'Forward Dependencies are not Valid' error.
I then looked at another report that used the same process to link a Parameter to a Dataset. I noticed that the order of my Parameters were different. I simply went back to my new report, and used the up and down arrows until my Parameters were in the same order as the working report. This seemed to fix the error and work fine. Apparently the the Parameter that was using the Dataset needs to be below the Parameters that are used in the SPROC.
I this helps someone in the long run.
C/N: Parameter was being filled by a Dataset(Stored Procedure). The Parameter that was being filled was above some of the Parameters that it was expecting for the SPROC.
This was all caused by a stupid error I made. I copied and modified the code function from the post I mention but neglected to change the data type of the argument from integer to string, which mine is.
It seems rather odd that the error manifested in the way it did but I have gotten past that problem now, only to run into another that I ask about in another question.
