I have a requirement for the following logic to be implemented. lets Assume there is a property listbox where user gives the input.
When the field left blank. It should show message "All properties Selected" in d report
If the user selects or gives multiple properties.It should display the properties selected like xxx,yyy,zzz selected
SO now if user selects all the properties manually from d drop down list,i wanna display All properties selected .
Implemented now for 1st two requirements. Can any1 give some idea regarding the 3rd Demand
If I understand your question correctly you could do the following:
Create a parameter.
Set the parameter to internal.
Make it a multi-select parameter.
Set the available values to a data set that returns the list of all possible fields.
Set the default value to the data set that returns the list of all possible fields. Basically, you are selecting all by default in the internal parameter.
In the data set that executes your report code, add code that compares the count of records from the internal parameter to the count of records from the parameter that users can see for selecting records. If the counts are equal, then the user has selected all possible properties.
If I misunderstood and you are trying to get the parameter box itself to vary it's output, then this won't help.
This expression will check the number of selected values against the number of available values and display "All properties selected" when all the properties are selected and will list the selected properties when only some of the values are selected:
=iif(Parameters!YourParameterName.Count=CountRows("YourParameterSelectDataset"),
"All properties selected",join(Parameters!YourParameterName.Value,","))

This may be as simple as it can't be done, but I have to ask. :) I am building a report using Report Builder 3.0. The report contains a table which also has Grouping established. I wanted to give the user an easy way to expand/collapse all rows of the table, so I used the method of creating a parameter with two values (0 for collapse, 1 for expand), tied the visibility of the group to the parameter using an expression in the Hidden Property for the group. Then I created two text boxes for Expand and Collapse and added the respective parameter/value in the Action in the text box properties.
At this point, everything works as intended. Here is where I run into the issue. I added another parameter, lets just call it "Location". The parameter is a text data type that allows multiple values and gets it available values from dataset/query in the same report. This is where I am guessing what I want may not be possible. When I select my Location(s), then run the report it all looks good. However, when I click on one of the Expand/Collapse text boxes, it clears out the values that I selected for the location(s). I am guessing this is due to the fact that the available values for the Location parameter is set via a query at run time. Is there any way to maintain the values for the Location parameter when triggering the expand/collapse buttons?
Thanks in advance!
I am having a situation where I can't proceed further with my report.
I have 2 parameters and the first parameter is a search text and user allowed to enter multiple search values and then the second parameter will get loaded and in the dataset to get loaded.
ReportParameter1 - user should give text need to be search. It should allow multiple values.
ReportParameter2 - (Multi Selection dropdown) - If we pass single value in ReportParameter1 it is showing related dropdown list in ReportParameter2. If multiple values are given in ReportParameter1 it should load all the values in ReportParameter2 related to the search words but it is not returning any dropdownlist.
Any help will be highly appreciated and I hope the explanation make sense?
Thanks,
For passing one parameter:
passing multiple values:
You'll need to use the IN operator for multiple parameter values.
SELECT party.party_name
FROM apps.hz_parties party
WHERE UPPER(party.party_name) IN(:ReportParameter1)
The other option would be to filter the tablix.
Note: Report processing time will be longer for a tablix filter.
EDIT: The fields shown in pictures below all have "value list" as row source type. The input in these fields are used in queries that pull data from tables as well, but these fields themselves do not use any tables.
I have a form in Access that requires users to provide input via listboxes, and then queries use that data to perform calculations.
However,when the entire access file is closed, the same input values are still in the listbox after reopening.
Ideally I want the values in the input fields to default to 0 (not null) as soon as the access file is closed (or re-opened), so when the user opens the database, he will see the value "0" in those fields. The reason to why I want the value 0 as default is because the inputboxes reflect possible commodities a product can contain, and I want to allow users to define the % commodity a product does or does not contain. 0 means the product does not contain that commodity and the user does not have to change the value in the listbox (more user friendly in my opinion). Picture illustration:
Hence each time I re-open the access file, I keep seeing those input values above, while I want them to be 0.
I did some research but don't really understand how to use the expression builder, and I can't find a way to make it work via a macro. I read something about the listboxes having to be 'bound', but I'm not entirely sure how to deal with this.
This is the above listboxes in design view:
You are using listboxes but at a height of one selection which is not the optimal use for such a form control as no multiple listing is shown at once together.
Consider using free-form textboxes with a default value of zero. But if you need to control a user's input, use combo boxes which defaults to the zero selection item. Most likely right now, each listbox is defaulting to its first selection item.
Here is how the Property Sheet / Data Tab of the combox would look (in fact Default Value might be redundant as zero is the first item):
Row Source : 0;20;40;60
Row Source Type: Value List
...
Default Value : 0
If combo boxes use a table/query row source, you will need to append a value of zero with a UNION query:
Row Source : SELECT TOP 1 0 AS ColName FROM TableName UNION SELECT Val FROM TableName;
Row Source Type: Table/Query
...
Default Value : 0
I am working on a SSRS report with a Multi Value Parameter which contains list of names. I have written an expression for the title that works like "Result for SELECTED NAME". It also have an option of (Select All) which displays all the results with title as "Result for MULTIPLE NAME". It is working fine up to this part.
Now I have to modify the report like, If i select multiple values, the report should break into pages with each selected name on different page with title for that individual parameter value(name) as "Result for SELECTED NAME".
Please help me. Thank you.
You can place the entirety of your current report (excluding headers/footers) into a List object. I assume youa re returning the selected values from the parameter (like Manager Name) as part of your DataSet. Assuming this is the case
Create a new list
Insert the contents of your report into the rectangle of this List
Right click the List Row Header and Select Row Group -> Group Properties
Set the Group to Group on
=Fields!ManagerName.Value
This approach will take a simple table like this
And break it into a list like this
Then you can just set the Tablix Properties of the List to Add a Page Break After to checked
Hopefully this is helpful. If you have further questions on this then please let me know
I worked on it and found a way to make it happen. I first created the row group for Names. Then applied the page break for each instance option. Then deleted that group column (Only deleted column but not group). Then added that group in a static column on the top, and wrote an expressions to show that group itself as a title using concatenation.
But here I faced another problem, when there is no data for the selected name, the title row isn't displayed in the preview as it also a column in the table.
I am trying to create a combo box in an Access form to display all the types in an inventory list (ex. cables, UPS, shelves, ...)
When I make the row source for the ComboBox I only want the type to display there once. The ComboBox will later be used to make a report for the different types of items in the inventory, so I will only need each type in the list box once. These types can be changed later so I want the list to be updated automatically.
Right now I have the ListBox displaying all the types multiple times, but when I try to change the row source to:
Select Distinct Inv_Type
From Inventory;
I just get an empty ComboBox. But when I query that code I get get each type only once (this is what I want). What am I doing wrong? Why am I getting an empty ComboBox?
Doing as what Remou said; I created a ComboBox from scratch, without using the wizard first fixed my problem. Thanks!
