Implementing a suggestion box in SSRS for a parameter - reporting-services

I have a dropdown in SSRS report which has more than 2000 values, but I want to have a suggestion box instead of dropdown. so when user enters something in that parameter box suggestions should come.

I believe you have to write custom report viewer application, as far as I know vanilla SSRS viewer does not allow suggestions.

SSRS Show Toolbar on drill down sub report

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.

Why doesn't my Selection List filter my Category Comparison Chart?

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

Changing parameter position in sql builder 3.0

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.

SSRS 2008 -- link to external website

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

SSRS Run report on several parameters

I figured this would be simple, but being new to SSRS I'm not sure.
I've created a basic report template, that uses a number of data sources, to display some information about a Site. It takes a SiteId parameter
I then want to be able to run this report for multiple SiteId's to produce a report with a page for each site.
Is this possible? If so can somebody let me know how or point me to a tutorial on how to do it?
Thanks
Make a dataset that fetches your list of sites. Then put a List area that is bound to your site list, and put a Subreport in the list. Pass the site field in as a parameter to the subreport.
Oh, and tell the List to put page breaks in.
