Hoping someone can help. I am very confused. I have a client working on SSRS (SQL Server 2014). We have reports running and they ran fine in the past. Since about a week ago when selecting a specific parameter and clicking on view report, the selection in the parameter field reverts to nothing. It seems to happen almost immediately without querying the data.
There are multiple reports with the same parameter and they have the same issue, letting me to believe it is a data issue, but I can't see anything that might be wrong in the data.
If you have any advice I would highly appreciate it.
The DataSet for Sites:
Select SiteName from Sites
Order by SiteName
Its a very basic query. Nothing strange...

I'm inclined to think this is a permission-based issue, but I've ensured permissions match as best as I can, so I'm really needing some tips on what other things I can check.
There is nothing wrong with the query or the report itself, as most computers can open it in SSRS, select whatever they want and run the report. I've even manually run the query used to populate the list and I get results. On my machine, for example, the drop down list is blank. Any ideas as to why this might be?
I need your help. I have designed this report using the pentaho report designer with two date parameters(DateFrom and DateTo). The report works fine when run on the designer and I've published it to the Pentaho BI Server. But on opening it on the browser from the BI server (CE), the reports is on an automatic refresh loop every 3-5 seconds. A glimpse of it, you can tell it has run correctly but the page refreshes almost immediately. Can't even change the parameters.
Has anyone ever experienced this and what is the solution?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
I have noticed that the refresh loop is being caused by the date parameter. I removed the the date parameter and published the report with a static date and it worked well.
I will have to rethink of how to use the date parameter on the PRD reports.
I am going to post a new question on how to include a working date parameter on PRD and link it to this question.
In the meantime, I will consider this a closed issue.
I have few existing SSRS reports here which are giving some inaccurate info. I want to fix those...where should I start? is it the data source in Report Builder? Where else should I look?
Thanks
You should be able to find the query that is being run or the stored procedure in the datasets. Then you can open those and see what datasource it is using. Some could be shared so you might have to look a bit to find them but that tells you the server. So then you can troubleshoot.
I'm having this problem:
The SQL Server holds a said value, let's say 990.30, the Reporting Services Report show a different value (948.33) when viewed online, in the brower and a third value (912.22) when the report is exported to Excel.
There are no formulas on Excel, just plain values.
Also, there's no formula on the layout of the report.
The code shows only a simple select that, when run on the SQL Server Management Studio, returns me the original value (990.30).
How on earth shall I start to troubleshoot this ?
I've never heard of this kind of problem before. I would recommend submitting a ticket to Microsoft and provide them with screen shots of the errors, the RDL file, a sample output of the stored procedure, etc.
To troubleshoot this on your own, I would recommend creating a new report that just has a simple table that returns all the details from your stored procedure or query to validate the values are consisten across all interfaces. From there, just start adding on complexity until you get the report to look like it is today.
I have created a number of SSRS 2005 reports, and provided a number of parameters for each. Each of the parameters have default values, and therefore the report automatically renders when someone visits the report through the SSRS web site.
What I'd like to do is have all the reports have their default values, but prevent the report from automatically rendering. I've looked online, and I haven't seen anything aside from people claiming that it cannot be done. I'm hoping to see some expert advice on this one for a method of preventing the reports from automatically rendering without having to develop a custom web interface.
Any thoughts?
Does anyone know if this behavior is different in SSRS 2008?
Oddly enough, I had this exact same problem on one of my reports. You must have at least one parameter that is not bound to a default value in order to achieve this effect, otherwise it is impossible as you suggested.
Proof:

The only solution I've come across is to have a single parameter that doesn't automatically have it's default value selected. The user only has to select one value and run the report. I prefer to make this the first parameter so it is consistant for each report, and anything beyond that is custom selections.
Prevent Auto-Run for SSRS 2008 R2 using a visible Text parameter:
Create parameter with: DateType=Text, "Allow Blank"=True, "Allow Null"=False, "Visibility"=True, "Available Values"=None, "Default Value"=No default value.
