I have one parameter which contains list of employers in dropdown. Depending upon employer selection i want to auto populate a textbox with certain data. To do this i have taken one more dropdown parameter which gets populated with data on employer selection and which in turn populates the textbox with data. Now i want to hide this intermediate dropdown. How do i do that?
Go to the parameter properties. In the General section at the bottom is the parameter visibility options. Set it to Hidden. This will allow you to still use the parameter, but it will not show up at the top when you want to view the report.

I want to add a page to SSRS report, which can be toggle on/off based on a radio button selection.
The reason I want to add a page is so I can add additional report logic information for the functional users. Is it possible to add a page (with several text boxes) in SSRS report and show/hide based on parameter value?
NOTE:* One approach I could use is to add a rectangle and control its visibility via parameter. However, when hidden, it leaves a blank space behind. Is there a way to get rid of this blank space?
You can do this with a table component. Add a detail row and a footer row and set the dataset to read from SELECT 1=1. You can put a rectangle in the rows and build out your report in the first row and then optionally show/hide the footer row.
I put a table and a textbox in the body area.
There are three columns in the talble, ItemType, ItemId, ItemName
Page breaks when ItemType changed.
The expression of the textbox is "=First(Fields!ItemType.Value, "DataSet1")".
Set RepeatWith property to "Talix1".
When Report runs, in the 1st page, the value of the textbox is "Green" .
but 2nd page the value is still "Green". In fact I want to see "Red"
What should I do to change the value when page breaks?
thank you for your help.

Because the text-box is currently outside of any data-set context, the value will not change. The expression is grabbing the first value in the data-set each time. Changing the page will not change the first value in the data-set.
You are going to have to put your text-box, and table, inside a List. Once that is done, set the group properties of the List to group, and page break, based on item type (ItemType). You can set these from the context menu you get when you right-click the Details for the List in the Row Groups pane, and choose Group Properties.
You can remove the grouping from the table since the List will handle that now.
By doing this, you now have your text-box in a data-set context. The expression for the value of the text-box can be changed to something like the following.
=First(Fields!ItemType.Value)
The scope is no longer needed since that too is set by the List.
Hope this helps you out.
I want the parameter value to be checked automatically in the second dropdown based on the selection of first parameter value.
For e.g In the below image i am selecting the Finops in the first dropdown so in second dropdown it should checked automatically.
Can anyone please guide?
What you want to create is also known as cascaded parameters in SSRS world.
Set the default parameter to whatever value you want to see like below:
Just make sure whatever value you are adding as default value is also present in the set of Available Values.
We have one requirement in SSRS where we need to display the tablix on click of the Image. By default tablix will be hidden, when user clicks on the Image then we need to show the hidden tablix. Kindly suggest some solution if any. Thanks.
You can toggle the visibility of an object. Initially have the visibility property set to hidden, then use the toggleitem property to accomplish what you are looking for. Instructions are below
To hide static rows in a table, matrix, or list:
In report design view, click the table, matrix, or list to display
the row and column handles.
Right-click the row handle, and then click Row Visibility. The Row Visibility dialog box opens.
To set the visibility, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
To hide static columns in a table, matrix, or list
In Design view, select the table, matrix, or list to display the row and column handles.
Right-click the column handle, and then click Column Visibility.
In the Column Visibility dialog box, follow steps 3 and 4 in the first procedure.
Then use the ToggleItem property of the table. Select the table, locate the property in the Properties window and specify the name of the textbox. If you now render the report you'll notice a little + icon in front of the testingBox content.
To find out what your textbox is called first select that and look at the bold part in top of the Properties window. To change it you can use the Name property. It's advisable to give it a clear name so you can easily locate it.
I'm trying to add an OR feature in the Continuous Filter Form and as you can see the first combobox shows up which I don't want it to show. Ideally, it should show only when the user wants the second row search option not in the first row filter. I have only OR in the combobox. Thanks for your help and let me know if you need any clarification!
Continuous form controls are all or nothing. If it's visible, it's visible in all rows, if invisible, it's invisible in all rows. There's nothing you can do about that.
You have four options (in order of complexity):
First Option:
The "On Current" event of the form happens when a user moves from one row to another inside the continuous form. you can add an IF statement to that event that disables the first box if the user has moved to the first row.
Second Option:
Have a fixed amount of filter boxes, and don't let the user pass the limit
Third Option:
Have a fixed amount of filter boxes, but make a "forward" and "back" buttons that will change what data the filter boxes link to, effectively making a 'custom' continuous form
Fourth Option:
Dynamically create the textboxes programatically (not recommended)
Set the default 'Visible' property to 'No' and then Reset it to 'Yes' when a second criteria is selected. This will populate the whole column though, just so you know.
