How can I use checkbox as a parameter in SSRS report? There in no built in control for that.
If you must have a check box you can't use the built-in SSRS interface for collecting parameters. Microsoft Connect has an issue regarding this.
You will need to make your own UI to collect the parameters and then eitehr redirect the user or return the report to them. Depending on your requirements, the simplest ways may be using SSRS with URL Access or using the reportviewer webpart.
If you need to implementing checkboxes on top of your report, you can use a multivalue text parameter. You can enter the default data manually and then it shows a combobox with the checkboxes you want. Each checkbox can be accessed using the same parameter name and an index. For example if the following condition is True then it means sombody has selected a checkbox that its value is 'value1':
InStr(Join(Parameters!p_myMultipleValueParameter.Value,","), "value1")>0
Note: In this case beware of text similarities. In same cases a string value of a checkbox may also be a substring of another value like 'no1' and 'no12'
While you can cannot do native checkboxes, you can do Radio buttons via Datatype Boolean.

I have an SSRS report where there is a dropdownlist parameter which will be populated based on other parameters.
For a particular scenario, when the dropdownlist options are empty, I want to show it as a textbox. Is it possible?
I don't think you can change the parameter type dynamically. It is either multi value or not. You could allow nulls (when it is empty) and get your dataset to handle the nulls
I am new in SSRS and I would like to know if it is possible in SSRS to create blank fields in which you can enter values and this values should calculated with a value in the implemented query. Something like this here.
And if this is possible how can I do something like this? With Parameter?
The only input the user can make to a report is via parameters
In the report itself you cannot use SSRS to create input fields. The only way to input data would be to use parameters in the toolbar and pass through the data through that way, with your output appearing in the rendered report
Here is an example of parameters inside a report. For example, you can use a date if you want the data of a certain day. In your case you'll need an int box and enter the value in there.
There is a SSRS report, with one parameter, I only know its label not the values. So how can I get the report by URL? I know how to render a report with all the parameters set by defaults to Excel. But this report has the parameter not set to default, so I have to manually select a value then run in report manager. And important thing is I don't know the available values for this parameter as I have only browser permission. So can't download rdl, can see the parameters etc as you can imagine. The url method seems only allow you to pass parameter value not parameter label. So is there anyway?
No, there is no way to do that. You must use the parameter value in the URL, you cannot use the label (unless value and label happen to be the same).
If you don't have access to the report definition then you will need to find someone who does, who can then find where the parameter values are defined and tell you what they are.
Looking everywhere on Google and cannot find the answer.
Is there an SSRS expression to grey out a parameter. So by default it is visible and can be selected. I want to to be grayed out and not selectable until a prior parameter is selected. I'd like to do this with an expression instead of cascading parameters. This is a special case. There must be something I can do in an if statement to make the parameter grayed out if the other parameter does not have a value selected. Please help.
You dont have to give always a value to the parameters from the form in the preview or by using parameters in cascading but maybe a default value from behind. It would depends on your code and what do you need to return for the dataset. I suppose that the dataset has fixed columns. Do you use sql inline or a store procedure? can you give an example of your code?
I have an Access 2003 report and some of the fields within the report are NULL. I can use conditional formatting to change the color and other aspects of the text-box control but what I want to do is to display "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX" in fields where there is no data (i.e. NULL). Can this be done using conditional formatting?
The best place to do this is in the query which the report should be based on. However, it is possible to set a control in a report to, say:
=Nz(MyField,"Text")
You will have to ensure that the control has a name other than the default assigned name, which is the name of the field.
