Good day
I am trying to figure out what is the difference between a filter and a parameter.
Currently I have a report and I edited the query and placed a where clause.So when running the report I see that I need to provide a parameter.This is great, but I don't see the report until I have entered some value in the parameter.How can I get it that by load/default the whole report is shown and then when typing a value in the parameter box that it then filters.

I have a report with 1 date parameter and 3 multi select parameters. The parameters are not designed to be cascading parameters (where parameter 3 depends on value of parameter 2, etc). I've designed the report so users can select all values or specific values for the parameters.
Here's my problem, in BIDS, when I test the report, all of the parameters work. When I deploy the report, although I select values (either all or specific) for the last parameter, when I run the report, SSRS returns a blank page, and my selections for the last multi value parameter are empty.
I've spent some time looking for a fix for this, but the posts I've seen aren't quite what I'm looking for. Can anyone offer some guidance on how I can fix this problem.
I have a formula in crystal reports that uses a year period to select its date range.
I want to edit it to bring back a range rather than just a single period.
However it is not giving me the option when entering values to give two parameters.
Current Code:
{PDP_ACC_PERIODS__.ACC_PERIOD} in {?ACC_PERIOD} to {?ACC_PERIOD}
But there is only one box to enter this, not two (as in from and too).
Added an identical parameter called ACC_PERIOD2 that looks at the same field, then added it in the selection expert as.
ACC_PERIOD
is between {?ACC_PERIOD}
{?ACC_PERIOD2}
I have a chart that contains 4 parameters and every parameter is related to the following one, i success i having the result of the chart by selecting the whole parameters one after the other,
The probleme is that i want to have another option by having the result of the chart by selecting also just one parameter or having the result without selecting any parameter
Can you please help me as soon as possible
Thanks a lot
There is one checkbox available while creating a parameter "Mandatory".Just remove the Right click from the checkboxes while creating all four parameters.Now you can check your result while selecting any parameter you want.
I have one SSRS report like following (image)
I'm new to SSRS; what does this report mean?
If I need to change any parameter value for this kind of report, do I need to go to every report and change the parameter for them individually?
Question:
What does this SSRS report mean?
Answer:
Portfolio dashboard = Main report
Portfolio_XXX = all 8 are subreports.
The subreports may or may not link with the main report. To find the report link, you can right-click on the subreport (gray) then report link.
Question:
Do I need to go to every report and change the parameter for them individually?
Answer:
If you are changing parameter name/type and subreport are linked or use parameter to filter the data, then YES you have to change in main report and subreport.
If all of your reports use same parameters then you only need to make changes onto main report, but if sub reports have their own parameters then you should change main report as well as sub reports parameters.
You have two ways to change the parameter of any SSRS report.
At the design time: When you are designing your report you can set the input parameters in report. You can provide a default value or you can leave this part if you are not willing to provide default parameters.
At run time: When you preview your report or view report in browser, then you can provide parameters if that reports is parametric. You can change the parameters here.
Please note that, if you have provided default parameters and you view report in browser/preview then it shows the default parameters.
You can use subreports if all reports are expecting the same parameters. If not is is best to go another route. I've only had to use one subreport for recent projects.
This is one of main features of sub reports to be able to use same parameters for all of them, so most likely they are the same, but final call should be made upon complete review, including any expressions involved. M
I'm using Oracle report builder and I have to show summary and detail reports. This tool does not have drilldown capability. I need it to show the either the detail or the summary report based on a parameter that the user enters at the beginning. Can anyone tell me how to dynamically display either one or the other report based on the user parameter entered?
You will use a repeating frame to display the content and you can set the visibility of this frame according to the value of your report parameter.
So you will just have two of these - one for your first select and another one for the second.
