Passing multivalued parameter from parent report to child report in Reporting service

I have report which accepts multi Value paramter in the Parent Report, this report has a drill down feature. but when i try passing the multi value parameter to the child report only the 1st value in the list is passed.

Parent Report accepts multiple users and based on which it shows the total % of issues submitted by thoses selected users in the multi value list. on drill down i need to send the user list again from the parent so that the child report shows each issue in detail. but when i use Parameters!Users.value i get only the 1st selected value.

could any one pls help me achive this requirement of mine.

thanks

Are the data coming from Analysis Services or are they based on a relational data source?

For the relational case I recommend reading the following forum posting: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=163803&SiteID=1

Yes the data in the first report was coming through relational database. and i had given a drill down feature in the first report which takes to the second report which shows the details information off the parameter(multivalued) selected from the first. it worked for me.

I appreciate yr help - Robert

Passing in Date Parameters

I have a stored procedure that accepts a date value.

Create Procedure spTest as
@.DateFrom DateTime,
@.DateTo DateTime
/* Procedure Logic Not Shown */
GO

I'm trying to pass in a date generated from Functions.

EXECUTE spTest Month(GetDate()) + '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'

When I run the Stored Procedure I get an "error near Month" but when I hard code in a date things work fine. i.e. '1/1/2003'. Any ideas?From the code taht you presented to us, I see two problems:

1)
Create Procedure spTest as
@.DateFrom DateTime,
@.DateTo DateTime
/* Procedure Logic Not Shown */
GO

should be like this:
Create Procedure spTest @.DateFrom DateTime,
@.DateTo DateTime as
/* Procedure Logic Not Shown */
GO

but this one I think it's just a type error when you posted your question, because you said that the sp worked when you passed the parameters hardcoded. The sp would never work (and never compile) in the form mentioned in your post

2)
Instead of:
EXECUTE spTest Month(GetDate()) + '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'
I would use:
EXECUTE spTest '' & Month(GetDate()) & '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'

Good luck!
ionut calin|||EXECUTE spTest '' & Month(GetDate()) & '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'

I paired up the quotes and the above line doesn't seem to work. Also tried:

EXECUTE spTest '' & Month(GetDate()) & '/1/2003''', '2/2/2003'
EXECUTE spTest Month(GetDate()) & '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'
EXECUTE spTest Month(GetDate()) + '/1/2003', '2/2/2003'

Just in case it was a data conversion issue I tried the following as well.

EXECUTE spTest CONVERT(VARCHAR(2), Month(GetDate)) + '/1/2003', '9/1/2003'

Passing a subquery as a parameter to a user defined function

I have a function which accepts a string as a parameter and returns a table.
It is a bit like a split function. It works when I pass the string as a
variable. When I try to pass in the string variable as the result of a
subquery I get an error.
This works
declare @.test varchar(50)
set @.test = (select projectid from NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC(@.test,',')
This doesn't
declare @.test varchar(50)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC((select projectid from
NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8),',')
I get
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near '('.
Server: Msg 170, Level 15, State 1, Line 2
Line 2: Incorrect syntax near ','.Try the following:
declare @.test varchar(50)
select * from dbo.CHARLIST_TO_TABLE_NUMERIC('(select projectid from
NS_REPORT_SAVE where savereportid = 8)',',')

e.g.'1,34,23' so it is expecting something in that format. That particular
subquery returns an appropriate value. Is the subquery seen as a table and
you can't pass a table to a subquery?

Pass fields as array to custom function?

I created a custom function that accepts an array of strings as a input. I need to pass several fields from the dataset to this function as an array. How can I do this?

You would need to create a function in the code window that accepts the values and inserts them into an array.

ex.

Code Snippet

Function CreateArray(ByVal field1 As String, ByVal field2 As String) As Array
Dim ar(1) As String
ar(0) = field1
ar(1) = field2
Return ar
End Function

I haven't tested it, but I think it will work.

You can use the Split function.

|||That is true but you would still need to create a string to split using the required fields. Depending on the data those fields contain, you would need to be careful if they hold the delimeter used in the split function.
