I am getting this error in the expression editor for a chart control.
Category - Fields
Item -
'Fields selection frame' is where I see the error
The chart IS linked to a dataset though and it works too; how else would the chart be populated with meangingful data when I run it? :)
Does anyone know why this occurs?

Looks like a bug in SSRS i.e. the fact that it works anyway but displays an error in the expression editor
It only works when you remove the filter. Its broke, if you put a filter in you get the erroneous error message and no data in your chart. If you remove the filter you get your chart but of course not filtered the way you want. I'm using 2008.
In case anyone else stumbles upon this I can confirm that this still occurs in SQL Server 2008 SP2 (Microsoft SQL Server Reporting Services Designers Version 10.0.4000.0) and also if the report is opened in Report Builder 3.0 (2008 R2).

I migrated SSRS Reports from 2008 to 2019. All reports works Good with respect to .CSV file and other formats. However there is one report where .CSV selection is shown for selection.
Note: In Tablix, properties I set the DataElementOutput = 'Output'
When I select .CSV it displays the following error:
Reporting Services Error
Error: Subreport could not be shown. (rrRenderingError)
Error: Subreport could not be shown.
SQL Server Reporting Services
It will be Great if you let me know how to solve this problem.
Thanks in advance
I have a SSRS 2008 project with some reports, and recently we update the version, now I open the project with the SQL Server Data Tools 2015, and all is fine, I can deploy, edit, update all fine.
The problem comes when I want to create a new report, when I add a DataSet to the report, the preview tab says:
An error occurred during local report processing
The definition of the report 'Report Name' is invalid
and nothing more happens, I can't preview the report anymore.
Does anyone know if it is a issue of upgrade/open a SSRS 2008 solution with SSDT 2015?
After some research... I couldn't find anything.
So I tried to create the report in Reporting Services 2008, and when trying to preview the report after adding a DataSet it show me the same error:
An error occurred during local report processing
The definition of the report 'Report Name' is invalid
But now, it has an aditional line:
The shared dataset definition is not valid. details the required
attribute 'name' is missing
And after enter the first search result in Google, it looks like the problem was that my DataSet was a Shared DataSet, JoannaK found the same problem and also found a workaround:
Found a workaround for now: Create the data set as embedded> Convert
to Shared Data set Looks like the Name property is set when you start
with embedded. report runs and can data sets can be uploaded to the
report server
This solves my problem. Hope it helps someone in the future.

SSDT is generating a broken dataset definition. To fix it:
Open up the shared dataset's .rsd file in a text editor.
In the xml therein find the <DataSet> opening tag.
Add the attribute Name (case-sensitive) to that tag, e.g: <DataSet Name="SomeDataSet">
Probably should set the Name to be the same as the filename but doesn't seem to make any difference as far as I can see.
Thanks to the existing answer as without that I never would have got it to work at all.
VS2015 / SSRS2012
I experienced similar error. It mostly occurs as of change in 'SHARED DATASET'.
Check for query fields in 'Shared Database Properties', if no fields are there , simply add fields you have included in your query.
Check for database connection
Check for 'Stored Procedure' and it's result if you have used stored procedure.
One can delete old dataset and re-create with same name.
As a last option, one can create 'New Dataset' (another one) and bind the new one with the report(take care to map all fields again once you choose to create new dataset.
I'm fairly new to SQL Server Reporting Services. I can edit the report output by editing the .rdl file in Visual Studio, however I'm trying to find out how to edit the input options available to report users - specifically the one shown below. Where do I find this part of the report, and how do I find out how the data for the dropdown is being populated?
The 'input options' seem to be referred to as 'parameters' in SQL Server Reporting Services. I found the following that explains clearly how to work with these:

I have created a report an SSRS report in VS 2008, and running it on a Windows Server 2012. When I run the report from Report Manager, it runs with no issues. However, when I set up a scheduled subscription, I get the following error message: Failure sending mail: An error occurred during rendering of the report. Mail will not be resent.
I have tried a number of Render Format options, including Excel, Word and CSV. It has failed on each of these formats. I did try the 'XML file with report data' option and the mail was sent. I also used the 'Include Link' option without including the report and that worked.
I have also set the Report Timeout option to 'Do not timeout report' in the Processing Options but still got the problem.
I am also running another report that is identical, except for the time interval and it runs fine. The report that is failing captures weekly data, while the report that runs OK captures monthly data.
Any ideas of what is going on with this report? I have provided all the information I can think of, but if anyone needs anything additional, please let me know! Thank you for your assistance!
Although I am not 100% certain of this, after I changed the name and removed some special characters (primarily parenthesis) and this seemed to clear it up.
Edit: After a significant span of time has passed I am certain that this was not a fix. I have a couple of reports that seemed to run fine for a while but then failed. When running the report from Report Manager it runs fine, and can be exported without any problem.
I subsequently ran the report from Report Manager and exported it into a .csv file. After opening this file in a text editor, I noticed that there were double quotation (") marks randomly distributed throughout the report. This did not show when exporting to excel. I rewrote the script to replace the quotations with blank spaces. I ran it again from Report Manager and exported it again to .csv and there were double quotes in the result. When I do this from SSMS I don't get the double quotes. It appears then that this occurs as a result of the export. The report will display in Report Manager, but won't go out in subscriptions.
Any ideas or suggestions would certainly be appreciated. I have worked on this for a while now (months) and need to come to some resolution. Thanks!
The solution ultimately was found and solved by updating the sql server with a service pack that was missing.
In order to populate a textbox in a page header I am setting up a parameter (as you cannot use Fields) and referencing this in the textbox. The parameter has the Default Value set to "From Query" and the Dataset and Value Field are set accordingly. This works a treat in developmentt in Visual Studio 2005. Once I have deployed the report and am viewing the report in the ReportViewer control I get the error:
"Parameter validation failed. It is not possible to provide valid values for all parameters. (rsParameterError)".
If I remove the parameter, the report works fine.
(Strange thing is that I thought I had this working earlier).
You've probably checked, but has the default value copied over? I've had issues in the past with reporting services where the default values were lost when I moved a report from one box to another.
Thanks for the answer - it has pointed me in the right direction...I have been using my own program to deploy multiple reports so rarely look at them via the Report Manager website. Anyway - I just deployed the report on my home PC and it worked fine....looking at the report in Report Manager on both PCs I found that "Prompt User" on the PC that wasn't working was not ticked...go figure. Ticking this resolved the problem.
I am liking the results that I am getting from SSRS, but I am quite new to it and am finding some things (like this) a little frustating...mouse and keyboard are lucky to not find themselves thrown out the window!
