i am using report builder to generate charts in sharepoint. I am using parameters to filter the data in the chart. When i view the report in the page viewer in the sharepoint site the filter is displaying in the right hand side of the page. Is there any option to change the filter to the top of the page??
Not with Report Builder. There isn't anything there to control the parameters display location. To do this, you'll need to use Report Designer.

I am currently using SQL Server 2019.
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
I currently have 4 separate KPI screen URL's written by our Group IT department and I would like to have all 4 KPI's on one screen so I though I would embed these into one SSRS Report.
Thanks
I read in earlier editions of SSRS that you were not able to embed external web links into a SSRS report, it this still the case?
Where did you read that? It's never been true. There's even a doc page on how to do it: Add a hyperlink to a URL in a paginated report (Report Builder)
I have a dashboard SSRS report in embedded in another web app.
In this report there are drill down reports(too many).
By default I set rc:stylesheet=hideToolbar for this main report. So the toolbar is hidden.
Now we want to show the Toolbar on specific drill down reports(not all of them).
Is there a way to do this?
I have tried to create a new stylesheet but as I'm not able to change rc:stylesheet parameter when I'm calling the drilldown report it doesn't work.
I understand what you are trying to do and know that this is achievable through custom stylesheets as well alternatively via a custom SSRS Toolbar UI (via old 2005/2010 mgmt and Execution SOAP SSRS APIs*).
But that may be way overkill for your situation.
My best suggestion with the current out-of-box behavior of SSRS as of MSSQL 2019 (applies to 2016 as well) would be to create a custom link or imageLink inside those subreports that you want to have an SSRS Toolbar for which then either pops up a small new browser window above the main report (or on a new tab) with the subreport- and per default SSRS behavior the toolbar will be there, or, if you want to be explicit you can add the SSRS qs param "&rc:Toolbar=true" to that link.
I have actually used both approaches on projects. It really depends on the requirements, priority and time ya know?
Let me know if I can try to further help in any way if anything I shared was useful.

I have created a dashboard with aggregated numbers.For raw data I want to use an image with embedded URL to an SSRS report. My tableau dashboard has 8-9 filters. I want that when a filter is selected in the dashboard, same filters should apply to the SSRS report.I am able to open the report but unable to retain the filters.
I am using the new SQL Server Reporting Services Mobile Reports in 2016.
I have added a Selection List to a report that's based on a dataset. I have checked the option to filter my dataset when a selection is made, but when I save the report and view it, nothing changes when I make a selection.
Is there something I am doing wrong?
Just had to RTM :)
Turns out that even after I filter a dataset with a navigator, I need to go to each visualization and specify which filters affect that visualization by using the "Options..." menu of the fields in the Data tab
My company is using SSRS 2008 for reporting services and there are 100's of different reports in it. After using SSRS 2008 for some charts we decided to to no use SSRS for charting and decided to use an open source javascript library to display charts. The main reason was to have some interactive charts!
I have now done a few charts in this open source library which itself is a asp.net webapp and have deployed it. I am wondering is there a way to add "links" to SSRS 2008 so when they are clicked user is redirected to this charts application. The main reason is to have one single area where employees will go for reports and charts.
I was thinking of creating an empty RDL file and on some 'onload' event just do a redirect but I have been unable to find if these reports fire any events!
Is there any other way to achieve it?
Right-click on the field you want to direct to your charting system, click Text Box Properties... and click Action. You want the Go to URL option, which you can use to enter a URL to redirect to.
Note that you can use expressions here to assist in going to the right chart, for example:
="http://mycharts/regionchart?Id=" & Fields!Region.Value
