How to set Default value in multi-value parameter when one of the parameter is not present in the Available Value In SSRS Report
pleas Look this Image
I have Multi-Value Parameter Name "Student Id" , available value are "1,2,3,4,5,6,7".
Now I am Setting Default value 1,2 then multi parameter Selected the Student id 1 and 2.
But issue is when Set student id 1 and 10 from Report 2 to Report, it is not selecting any thing. Its because of Id 10 Which is Not in Present in value.
I fixed this By using the LookupSet() method in SSRS
=LookupSet(Fields!ClassId.Value,Fields!ClassId.Value,Fields!StudentId.Value,"StudentDataSet")
its checking the value in Data Set and giving me Id like Student Example. if value is 1,2,10 then it give me 1,2,1,2,1,2 but i am not why its giving 1 and to multi time but its working for me Thanks. I am new in SSRS can you Explain me one more time so it will work for me ,or i am doing something wrong
Have you tried setting 10 as a available value, because you only have 1-7 so it might bug on the 10.

I have an SSRS report that has 2 parameters - vendor and years. Years is just a text field while the Vendor is a dropdown list which is generated from a query. I am trying to run this report from another report by passing in values for both of these parameters as below:
http:///ReportServer/Pages/ReportViewer.aspx?/Production/Supply+Chain/Vendor+Part+History&years=3&vendor=00046
The value of the years parameter is setting correctly but the vendor is not getting selected in the dropdown and hence the report will not run without user having to manually select the vendor.
Can you please advise what I am missing?
There are a few things you need to check.
You are passing in the value 00046 as the vendor therefore either the available values shoudl not be defined in the report or it must include 00046 as one of the available values.
When you pass in a parameter you are passing in the parameter Value not the parameter Label. So if you had a list of available values from a table something like
CategoryID
CategoryName
1
Fruit
2
Veg
3
Meat
and in your parameter's available values you had CategoryID as the Value and CategoryName as the Label and you wanted to run the report for "Veg" then you would pass in 2 not Veg .
If your parameter's labels and values are the same, then make sure that they are exactly what you are passing in (i.e. 46 is different than 00046).
Try setting your parameter type to text, even if it is a number.
I have an issue with SSRS parameters. I have a parameter that is based on a dataset value. This parameter is called UserOffice and correctly returns value GB10. I have a second parameter called IncludePrimary that returns the value of UserOffice (=Parameters!UserOffice.Value):
I then change the value of the IncludePrimary expression to be the first 2 characters of UserOffice (=Left(Parameters!UserOffice.Value, 2)):
I expected the field to show GB. Can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks

A parameter (your second one) isn't "updated" (the default value isn't re-applied) while the currently selected value(s) is (are) still in the list of available values after other parameters have been changed.
To update the second parameter, you must not only change its Default Value but will need to set its Available Values as well:
Or, of course, you can simply use your expression Left(Parameters!UserOffice.Value, 2) whenever you need it, so you don't need that second parameter at all.
Thanks to everyone who replied. They responses were very helpful. In order to resolve my issue I created a second dataset that calculated the default value (Y or N). I used set Available Values and then used my new dataset to set the default.
It works a treat.

Here's my scenario,
I have a report in which it has two subreports in it.
each subreports visibility depends on a parameter(A) value.
each event for selecting the parameter(A) value from all available value will refresh other two parameter's(B,C) list of available value with same set of data but different than before the refresh event.
B and C will use one value from the list as its default value.
default value is controlled by expression in default properties of B,C
when A is changed again, cycle repeat.
A, B and C are used to specify date range for query.
A is selection to choose from two options ('WEEKLY','MONTHLY'). The default is 'WEEKLY'.
'WEEKLY' will return list of work week in current year to B and C. subreport1 displayed. subreport2 hidden.
'MONTHLY' will return list of month in current year to B and C. subreport1 hidden. subreport2 displayed.
and expression for default value of B and C is =IIF(Parameters!A.Value = "WEEKLY",datepart("WW",today()),IIF(Parameters!A.Value = "MONTHLY",datepart("M",today()),0))
Now when it loads, A is 'WEEKLY', B and C have correct default value datepart("WW",today()). Then...
I change A to 'MONTHLY', B and C got monthly data right and have right default value.datepart("M",today())
I then change back to 'WEEKLY' B and C got correct weekly data but still retain the default value from the first switch (which is datepart("M",today()) rather than supposed value datepart("WW",today()))
How do I get B and C to get the correct default value per category selected from A?
EDIT:
all subreport have same set of parameter as main report.
im using query to get the list for B and C.
so far query is working fine producing the list.
query is a procedure which take in parameter A then returning recordset of whether work week or month in current year.
every subreport have same parameter definition as in main report.
i actually doesn't know much how to use subreport. try and error here.
so when ssrs prompt me about some parameter definition is not defined for some subreport i matched parameter in subreport to parameter in main, at parameter tab of subreport properties.that's the only error i got through when building this report.
So after a bit of faffing I have managed to reproduce and the behaviour you require from our parameters. Apologies if this goes over ground you have already completed, or doesn’t work, but it behaves as expected for my configuration (SSRS 2008 R2).
Parameter A is set up with available values of “WEEKLY” or ”MONTHLY” for both the Label and Value, with a default Value of “WEEKLY”.
Parameter B is then set up with the available values’ for Label, Value and the Default values’ Value all set to your expression
=IIF(Parameters!A.Value =
"WEEKLY",datepart("WW",today()),IIF(Parameters!A.Value =
"MONTHLY",datepart("M",today()),0))
Available Values
Default Values
This is all repeated for parameter C
Now when I first run the report I am faced with the following
When I choose Monthly I get
Then when I choose weekly again I get
Only when I choose monthly and select "View Report" does the visibility change on the report
I'm not certain you filled out all these steps when you asked the question - you may have done - but it is worth giving the above a go from fresh and see if the behaviour is as you require
Any problems, let me know, and I'll try to help further
I have a report with several parameters, all in varying degrees depending on the value of its predecessors. I’m trying to convert from single selects to multi-selects. I’ve set the multiselect values for Report Type – see image – and would like to set the default value for the multiselect Jobs Type parameter. The logic would be: ‘If Jobs is not selected in Report Type, set ‘NA’ as default. If Jobs is selected, display the list of job types’. The job type dataset is used as the Available
Values list. I have a defaultJobType dataset with the following code:
IF 3 IN (#ReportType)
SELECT 0 as JobTypeId, 'N/A' as JobTypeDesc
Is there any way to accomplish this goal?
Create a DataSet to get "Default JobType" based on report type as per your requirement
like as you said IF 3 IN (#ReportType) SELECT 0 as JobTypeId, 'N/A' as JobTypeDesc
create a SP (stored procedure or query with parameter report type)
as we normally do for Cascading Parameters ...
once its done then set the default value of Job Type Parameter ,
1. select option "Get value from a query"
2. Choose DataSet which created to get Jobtype based on
3. set value field JobTypeId
you can also say that, there are two data set to populate Job Type one for populating drop down & another for select Default value...
I have a report which returns list of product names and other product specs. This report currently has different search options. My users now also want to be able to search by product number by putting in multiple product numbers.
How can I add a filter by product number which is an optional multi-value textbox?
I have tried to add a multi-value textbox. The report doesn't seem to work when no values are entered. If I put one or more product number in the text box, it seems to work fine. Is there a way I can tell the report doesn't filter on the Null value parameters? Or any other idea to work with optional multi-value parameters?
Here is the setting for my multi-value textbox
Name = ProductNumber
Prompt = Product Number
Data Type = Text
Allow Blank Value (checked)
Allow Null value (not checked)
Allow Multiple Values (checked)
Here is the data set filter
Expression = [ProductNumber]
Operator = In
Value = [#ProductNumber]
Thanks

I think you should trick the dataset filter by:
Expression should check to see if the parameter is blank and if so give expression a 1 else the field.
Value should do the same check and if parameter is blank set value to 1 else set it to the parameter.
But keep your operator.
Alternatively you could do this similarly in the SQL and with more flexibility and performance.
So as you've seen in your own testing, at least one value must be selected with multi-value parameters. You can't set Allow null value to true at design time and if you run a report without selecting any values it will throw an error message.
So you can't really have a report where users can run it with no values selected.
Taking a step back, what you're trying to achieve when ignoring the parameter is to include all Product Numbers by default. So why don't you set the parameter to have a default value of all Product Numbers selected? That way, users can just ignore and leave them all ticked if they don't want to filter by Product Numbers. Seems like a good workaround to me.
To do this, set the default value for the parameter using the same dataset that populates it:
All Product Numbers are now selected and users only need to take action if they want a subset of these returned.
