Hi I am using SSRS 2008.
My set up is MainReport with dataset1 and 1 parameter - OrderID. One of the columns in dataset1 is ShippingID.
My other report called - SubReport has 1 multivalue paramter - ShippingID.
I am trying to use ShippingID from Main report as multi-value parameter for Subreport.
I tried different threads here but mostly they are diffrent than my scenario.
How do I go about setting this up, is that even possible?
I have been trying to set it up for whole day but unsuccessfully.
In my scenario one Order can be on multiple shipments.
One of the things I tried is creating new multi-value parameter in MainReport - call it shippingIDs_sub and mapping its default value to dataset1.ShippingID. But when I try to run report I get error "The 'shippingIDs_sub' parameter is missing value" - because my MainReport would sometimes return NULL in ShippingID column.
My scenario is very much similar to this
SSRS passing parameter to subreport
although I sometimes get NULLs in the column used as source for multi-value parameter.
Is there any way to filter out NULLs and run subreport only for existing IDs?
In the Action where you call the sub-report, where you map to shippingIDs_sub, use an expression to pass some valid value whenever the value in your dataset is NULL.
=IIF(IsNothing(Fields!ShippingID.value),"Some Valid Value",Fields!ShippingID.value)
As to this:
Is there any way to filter out NULLs and run subreport only for
existing IDs?
No, you can't turn off the ability to go to a subreport, but you can "hide" it by changing the appearance of whatever your user clicks on so that it doesn't look like it's clickable. For example, in our reports, when something is clickable, we make it underlined in blue. So if I don't want to user to click it, I just make it the same font color/style as all the other text. But it doesn't stop a determined user from clicking on it anyway if they want.

I have one report with columnName called as 'referenceName'. Two rows get displayed on this report with two different values for 'referenceName' column.
When I am click on the first/second value in the 'referenceName' column only first value gets passed to the next drill through report. Why?
Reason for this error was that I was passing the value of the parameter instead of name of the parameter. so, I was passing '#ReferenceName' instead of [ReferenceName].

I have a multivalue parameter in a report and I would like to make it the source of a table. Is there a way to accomplish this? I'm coming to the conclusion that one cannot make the data source of a table anything except a dataset.
I tried to make the multivalued dataset (source of parameter) filtered by parameter but that gives a forward reference error (makes sense).
I am now trying to set the visibility property on the table's single text box like this, so it will only make the values visible that are one of the chosen parameter values:
=IIF(Fields!MODALITY.Value = Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,","),True,False)
but they are all shown (alway true?). Any ideas on how to show a list of the values picked from a multi valued parameter in the report as a table (not just a delimited string in a text box)?
The data source of a table will always be a dataset, but you can use the parameters in a dataset. Something like
select * from dbo.split3(#parameter)
where split3 is a csv to table function, like one found on http://blogs.msdn.com/b/amitjet/archive/2009/12/11/sql-server-comma-separated-string-to-table.aspx
I found an expression that works for changing visibility so that my table shows just the elements in the multivalue parameter that were selected. Perhaps there's an easier way.
=IIF(Instr(","+Join(Parameters!Modalities.Value,",")+",",","+Fields!MODALITY.Value+",") <> 0,False,True)
I am creating a report with columns say A,B,C,D,E. I am setting up a drill down on the column A that fetches one more report with Columns
G,H,I,J. The values for the columns G,H,I are from taken the columns A B C. For the column J,I need to pass a parameter explicitly(not from the source report). I set that parameter in
the properties section -> Available Values and mentioned the values. I ran the main report and get the following error
The Parameter J is a missing value
I am pretty much new to the SSRS projects and would be great if I could any assistance on this
It sounds like you are putting parameter J in the wrong place. It doesn't go in the Parameters collection for the main report but in the parameters that are passed to the sub-report.
Right-click the cell with the drill-down and select Text Box Properties.... Choose Action from the left-hand menu and it will show the drill-down report. Under this it says Use these parameters to run the report:
Add the parameters of the sub-report and the values you are passing. You can use an expression to provide the value for parameter J.
I have two reports built using SSRS 2005. The first report is set to navigate to the second when a specific field is clicked.
There is a multi-value parameter on the second report. I need to pass multiple values for this parameter in the "Jump to Report" string when calling this report. Is there a way to pass multiple values? I have tried Field.Value but that doesn't work for multivalue, it wants Field.Value(0). Or can you pass a parameter that will cause the Select All value to be selected?
I figured it out. Looks like one of the parameters being passed in was Field.Value(0) instead of Field.Value. That was messing things up.
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
Jim
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.
