I am using Visual Studio 2010 Professional. I need to add a parameter to a local report. All the information I have found says to use the Report Parameters Dialog Box. Great!! It seems like I should select the rdlc file then the Report Menu option is displayed and I select the Dialog Box from the menu. But it is not there. Where is it? I have a code from a Microsoft example and can edit the XML if I need to but it looks like I should not need to. Help!!
I found it!!!!
You must have the rdlc open.
Press Ctrl+Atl+D to open the Report Data window (or select it from the view menu).
The parameters option is in the selection list.
Right-click it to add a new parameter.
Fill in the fields and select your options.
Ta-Da
The Report Data window can also be found under the View menu item if your report is open. Seems like a weird location; I only found it because I stumbled across it.

I've done this numerous times in XHTML but I am not sure if it is possible to do in SSRS Reports: I am trying to create a (link) list that allows a user to click on and be moved to another point WITHIN that same report. Is this possible to create anchors and do this just like you would in XHTML? Thanks a lot!
(tools that are available to me are SSRS in BIDs 2008 environment as well as Report Builder 3.0)
You could use bookmarks.
First you add bookmarks to the points in your report you want a user to be able to jump to. Select the report item you want to jump to and in the properties pane find the Bookmark property and type a unique name in here for the bookmark.
Then add a Textbox or Image that the user would click on to take them to that bookmark. In Design view right click on this item and select the Properties option.
In the properties window select Action from the left hand side.
Choose Go to bookmark then in the Select bookmark box type the name of your bookmark that you created earlier.
OK this and you should be good to go.
There is a report contains 1000s of pages of data.Is there any way to make a button on the first page of the report so that ,if click on the button it goes to the end of the pages.
Is there any expression to be written,with out writing the vb.net code?
There is a button like that in SSRS (you can also type page number in the box and press enter):
EDIT:
You can add a bookmark at the end of your report and then make a textbox which will jump to it (textbox properties->Action->mark "go to bookmark" and select the bookmark you made. I am not sure, however, if it works well in excel.
Web viewer control, this button already exists.
I don't believe you can add a button to SSRS and export to Excel to go to last row.
You can use Excel command to go to last cell which should work.
Refer to [http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/excel-help/excel-shortcut-and-function-keys-HP010073848.aspx][1]
CTRL+G
Displays the Go To dialog box.
F5 also displays this dialog box.
Click on "Special..." button and select "Last Cell" option and click OK
Sorry .. Tried posting images for you but not enough points to do so.
There are 2 ways of reaching the last page or the data on the last page:
Sol 1. #kyooryu has already mentioned above in his solution along with a screenshot.
Sol 2. You can freeze the header and set the display result to show the data on a single page. This way you will not have multiple pages and you can directly hit the end button from keyboard on the report manager to reach the bottom result set. Freezing the header will help you in identifying the column names.
I am using SSRS 2008 R2.
I need functionality in my report like, on clicking a particular bar graph column, it should display details of that bar in a pop up window with a close button on top of it, as in SAP-BO. I searched alot but couldn't get the hints. Finally I am just confused whether is it possible in SSRS or not ? If yes, then how ?
I do not think this kind of graph or functionality exist in SSRS yet but you can look at the third party graph technology like Dundas.

I have a large report that I built in Report Builder 3.0. The report consist of several tablexes and several (800 - 1000) textboxes. When I get an error in an expression, the system says I have an error in Textbox205 for example. Is there an easy way to find "Textbox205"?
When using Visual Studio, at the top of the Properties window there is a drop down box with all the objects on your report in it. You can find and select the object in there.
One technique is to open the .rdl file in a text editor and Ctrl-F search for the text box name. This will take you to the xml attributes of the textbox, which usually allows you determine which textbox contains the problem.
I typically click any element and then start pressing tab till I find what I am looking for.
The element name will be displayed in the properties window:
You can right-click on the report(.rdl) and click "View Code". This opens the xml file in Visual Studio.
You can search the number in the xml file.
With Visual Studio, you can see the Document Schema (Ctrl + Alt + T) with View > Other windows > Document Schema. It will appear a window with a tree view of the full report.
I'm reading "SQL Server 2008 Report Services - Unleashed" and I'm reading the section on page 128 where they have the reader create a new dataset.
The photo in the book shows a slightly different Dataset Properties dialog window to the one I'm using. The one in the book shows a dropdown list for choosing a data source while the same dialog window I'm using does not. I looked at the other tabs on the left side of the window but did not find anything that would suggest the user can choose a data source for the dataset. The list of tabs on the left are also in a different order as well.
The photo in the book also shows a query text field in the window and mine does not.
There is text on the top area of the window says "Choose a data source and create a query" and a "Name" text field just like the book photo but after that everything is different. Mine has a radio button set ("Use a shared dataset" and "Use a dataset embedded in my report")
Clicking the OK button gives a message "<> Select a datasource". Could this be a Bids bug?
If I look at the same dialog when creating a report using the wizard it shows the same as in the book.
All help will be appreciated.
Found it!
I hope this helps anyone who gets caught by this one. It had us guessing for hours.
Select the "Use a dataset embedded in my report" radio button and the dropdownlist will appear.
