Multi Value Parameters

I just created a report with 2 parameters and it works fine. If I change one of them to MV it still works but if I pick 2 values I get a message about a problem with the "," - Incorrect syntas near ','

Is this a known problem or is it something I'm doing. Is a problem is there a fix for it.

YOu habe to change your query after changing the parameter type, as your query probably look like

WHERE SomeColumn = @.MyParameter

which will evaluate in a MV-Parameter to

WHERE SomeColumn = 'A','B'

This is not valid SQL. Therefore you to write your query like the one below.

WHERE SomeColumn IN (@.MyParameter)

That should work for you and your value list.

Multi value parameters

Hi All

I'm trying to initialize (checkmark) only the first selection of a Multi Value list, (built from an SQL), I can initialize all or nothing.

I tried to use (0) next to the value field name in the default value, but that causes an error (Field is not valid because of the(0)).

Thank you

Please try function =First()|||

Hi Lev

sorry for the slow response, I did try to use function First(), I get this error

"Aggregate function cannot be used in report parameter expression"

Thanks

I was wrong, this does not work.

There is a way however to do it with help of another parameter

Create internal single-value parameter, say Parameter1, and set default value "from query". Value of this parameter will be taken from 1st record of the data set

Then create multi-value parameter, set default value "non queried" and value expression =Parameters!Parameter1.Value

Thank you, I did not try it yet.

I hardcoded the value of the first record for testing purpose and it did work, so I'm sure that once the new parameter is filled with the correct value it will work.

Thank you again.

Multi Value Parameters

Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to pass a data for a multivalue parameter through the URL.

Thanks In Advance

Regards

Raja Annamalai S

To set a parameter named "Name1" to value1 and value 2, use this format:

http://localhost/reportserver?/MyReport&Name1=value1&Name1=value2

Multi Value Parameters

I'm using a sql server Stored Procedure, that uses a defined parameter to pull the records. How can i make this stored procedure a multi value parameter. I select multi value in report parameters, and changed the where clause to "IN" but its still not working, when i select more then one parameter from the drop down list. Here is my stored procedure.

Code Snippet

USE [RC_STAT]

GO

/****** Object: StoredProcedure [dbo].[PROC_RPT_EXPENSE_DETAIL_DRILLDOWN_COPY] Script Date: 09/05/2007 13:49:09 ******/

SET ANSI_NULLS ON

GO

SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON

GO

ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[PROC_RPT_EXPENSE_DETAIL_DRILLDOWN_COPY]

ISNULL(Budget_Reporting_Detail.Budget_Report_Detail_Amount, 0) AS Actual, Budget_Reporting_Detail.Budget_Report_Detail_Qty,

Budget_Reporting_Detail.Budget_Report_Detail_Responsible, Territory.Name+'('+Code+')' as [Name], Region.Region, Round((Forecast.Budget_Amount/13),2) AS Budget,

Budget_Reporting_Detail.Budget_Year = Forecast.Budget_Year AND

Budget_Reporting_Detail.SalesPerson_Purchaser_Code = Forecast.SalesPerson_Purchaser_Code

WHERE (Region.Region_Key IN( @.Region)) AND (Forecast.Budget_Year = 2007)

END

See Lisa's posts.

You can't just use IN (@.Region). SQL doesn't automatically understand that. Developing this can be extemely frustrating, but don't despair. We're here to help if you get stuck.

I also faced same problem.In reporting service, even though you select multi values for parameter and send it to stored procedure,it wil go as a single Value.

U got it.In stored procedure,if u included where clause with IN,it wil consider it as a single value only(as 'a,b,c,d').

So, u need to split this (comma seperated).You have to include split function into ur stored procedure.Search in google, u wil get it.

I same i used in my report and its working fine.Its very easy.

Multi Value Parameters

Hi,

Thanks for the reply...I think I should have been a little more clearer.

I can specify the multi paramaters, but I want to be able to select certain values from that parameter like in the pic.

E.G. I have a dropdown with City's in, but I dont want to select one, which is what I can only do at the moment, I want to be able to put a tick in the tickbox next to it to select more than one?

Does this make sense?
Yes with multi-value parameter you can do that!!!
I have multi-value paramters and I can select as many values as I want.
I'm using RS 2005 april ctp and in june ctp also works.
What are you using?|||Dear Friend,

I have problems using multi values parameters in my reports, maybe you can help me.

In a simple store procedure like this:

...
@.parametro int
as
select *
from tb_Fact_Vehicles
where id_Dim_Location in (@.parametro)
...

whe I select one value in the preview screen the repors runs fine, but if I select more than one parameter the results is nothing, I mean empty: no records. Do you have any idea what's happening?

|||Ah...I'm using RS 2000 SP2. Is there anyway I can do this in RS2000? or do I need to move to RS2005?

Is RS2005 stable enough for a live environment?

Cheers|||RS2005 is not for production purpose. Wait until november 7th.
I think it's possible in RS2000, but I've never tested RS2000.
I'm sorry.
