I have a report ("main report") from where I can reach a drillthrough report that has a multivalue parameter "Product". The parameter has labels and values like follows:
Product A [Product].[Product]&[1]&[1]
Product B [Product].[Product]&[1]&[2]
Product C [Product].[Product]&[2]&[1]
Coming from the main report, in the drillthrough report I would like to select all parameters whose values start with
[Product].[Product]&[1]
Currently, in the main report I load a dataset with all products of this type, fill them into a multivalue parameter and hand the value of this parameter over to the drillthrough report. My question is, is there an easier way to achieve the goal.
It is possible to use only one dataset with all products in the main report and to filter them:
=Filter(Parameters!Product.Value, "[Product].[Product].&[1]", true)
The filter function will look for the expression inside the multiple product parameters and return all starting with this expression.

I have two reports were I pass multi-valued parameters to it's underlining data and both reports work very well independently. The parameter strings are being split using the function dbo.UTILfn_Split. When trying to drill from the main or Summary report into the sub or Detailed report all other parameters field in the report are populated except the multivalued parameter field. The parameter lists or value are listed in the detailed report but not selected and therefore cannot run the report even though the detailed report parameter property is set to allow multiple values. In both reports, the where clause is set "IN" not "=." How do I fix this?
In your Summary Report, when you pass the parameter to the sub or detailled report, the passed value parameter should be like this expression:
=join(parameters!yourMultivaluedParameter.Value,",")
after that, you pass the name of the parameter to the corresponding parameter in the dataset Detailled report.
In your SQL (SP), get the multivalues of the parameter by spliting it with your function
like following, depending of the result of your function, for exemple:
INNER JOIN dbo.SplitFunction( #yourMultivaluedParameter,',') tmp on tmp.yourColumn = ...etc...
Hope it helps...
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.
In an existing SSRS 2008 r2, report, I am attempting to add a parameter called 'Customer_Category'. I am getting the following error message:
The report paramter 'CustomerNumber' has a DefaultValue or a ValidVaue that depends on the report parameter 'Customer_Category'. Forward pointing dependencies are not valid.
I am trying to determine how to fix this error. The 'CustomerNumber' is a parameter value that is obtained by reading from a dataset. In this dataset there are existing other parameters called 'Customer_Type' and 'Customer_Preference'. Both of these parameters obtain there values from selections that the user makes when the SSRS report is executing. There are no default values.
I am trying to have the 'Customer_Category' be the same way where there are no default values and the user must select the parameter value when the report is executing. There should only be one value that the user can select from.
The new parameter called 'Customer_Category' is the last parameter in the list of parameters. Does the order of parameters make a difference? If so, how can I move the 'Customer_Category' parameter in front of the customer_number parameter?
Here is the sql that is used from obtaining a list of customers from the dataset for customer_number:-
SELECT Distinct CustomerNumber
FROM BridgeUserCustomer
WHERE
Type = #Customer_Type
AND Preference = #Customer_Preference
AND Category = #Customer_Category
GROUP BY CustomerNumber
Would you tell me what is wrong and what I can do to solve the problem?
Summary
The order of parameters in your IDE (Report Designer or Report Builder) matters.
If you have a hierarchy of parameters (one level dependent on the other), the top-level parameter must appear first in the parameter list.
In SSRS these are referred to as cascading parameters.
Solution
Open the Report Data tab
Expand the Parameters folder
Select a parameter and use the up/down arrows to adjust order

I will try to explain the issue as best as I can by oversimplifying the report structure. Report one contains 1 group called ResourceCenter and then one line of totals under it. The totals are actually a group but the grouping is done in SQL and are presented in a detail group. The report looks something like this:
Report 1
ResourceCenter 1
Total1 11
Total2 4
Total3 8
ResourceCenter2
Total1 12
Total2 11
Total3 6
From this report, I need to drill through to another report that has a bunch of multi-valued parameters. For the drillthrough, I am able to use single values for everything except for EmployeeNumber. For that, I need to be able to pass a list of EmployeeNumbers to the multi-valued parameter in Report 2. The EmployeeNumbers are not currently present in any DataSet or parameter in Report 1 but are based on ResourceCenter. So, if the user has run Report 1 and clicks on ResourceCenter 1, I need to be able to pass a list of EmployeeNumbers associated with ResourceCenter 1 to the multi-valued parameter in Report 2 in a way that Report 2 will handle it correctly.
NOTE: I should add that I have created two SQL functions that accept an input of ResourceCenter and then return a list of employees. One is a table-valued function that returns a single column of EmployeeNumbers. The other is a scalar-valued function that returns the EmployeeNumbers as comma-separated values. I then have some custom code that runs the SQL function in the background and returns the list. I have not had any success with returning a dataset that SSRS can use but I have been able to get the scalar-valued function to 'work' in the sense that I can create a field on a dummy report and see the output. I have not had any luck getting Report 2 to accept a comma-separated list, though.
This person was doing a drill-through and appears to have solved a similar problem with a multi-value parameter. In that case it had to be formatted for an IN clause.
=SPLIT(JOIN(Parameters!SomeParameterName.Value,","),",")
If Report2 won't take it in this format, you might have to add a separate single-valued parameter that will accept a comma-separated string, which you then have to parse.
I'm using SSRS 2016, and my datasets are based on stored procedures, but passing multi-value parameters to a drill down doesn't seem to be an issue anymore. By default, when you select a multi-value parameter it gives you something like Parameters!ParName(0).Value which would pass just the first value. But if you remove the (0) and just leave it as Parameters!ParName.Value, it seems to be passing all values fine.
Currently have three subreports, one main report.
Main report has two parameters - SELECTDATE and EMP_ID. Main report sends Order_Nbr to all subreports.
All subreports work perfectly when I only select 1 Employee and 1 date, but if I choose multiple values it blows up.
SQL has the column as an INT. I have both parameters in main report and subreport, SELECTDATE is set as Text with Multiple Values, and EMP_ID is set to Integer with Multiple Values. My queries has my date IN (#SELECTDATE) and emp_id IN (#EMP_ID).
It obviously sends the correct information to the subreports because it works, but I would like it to work with more values being passed. Love the current ability to check and uncheck employees and end of month dates, like it currently is set using the IN function in my query.
Make the Parameters on your sub report non-multivalue, remove any 'Available values' set.
Pass the multivalue parameter from you parent report as a string using the join method
=Join(Parameters!Emp_ID,",")
The EMP_ID parameter will be set to a comma delimited list, which is what a multivalue parameter sends to the query
I'm not sure how this works with text queries, but it works with stored procedures.
If the sub report is also used as a stand alone report you will need to add a new parameter to allow the user to send parameter values to #Emp_Id from a parameter the user can set
I guess you have not set the parameter in the sub report as Multi Select. If you have set the parameter in the sub report as multi select, then you could just send the parameter from the main report to the sub report as it is. See more at here
I used the following solution, which works in SSRS2016. This also works with text parameters.
Like suggested above, pass the parameter as a string to the subreport by JOINing the values.
Join(Parameters!EmpID, ",")
In your subreport, accept the parameter as text.
In the SQL of your subreport, use the string_split function of SQL 2016 to return a table of the values and simply join it to your main query. So basically if your parameter is named "EmpID_Multi" do
... JOIN (SELECT value FROM string_split ( #EmpID_Multi, ",")) mv ON mv.value= ...
Note: You might consider pulling the values into a temporary table for SQL optimization (sometimes the optimizer does funny things...).
