Passing parameter from a webpage to a report

I am developing a website which need to allow user to pass through several webpages for criteria selection and generate a report base on the selected criteria finally.

Anyone know how to pass the selected value from a webpage to the SQL statement or stored procedure which used to generate the report? Or there are other methods to do so?look at the rendering methods of RS - there's one by URL where you can pass the parameters via URL and request the report.|||I believe you simply build a querystring and append the parameters and values to the end of the querystring.|||Thanks for your kindly reply.

I have another related question see whether anyone can help. Base on my current knowledge, I know that we can pass one value for each parameter. E.g. countryID=20. If I want to pass multiple values for this parameter, e.g. countryID=20, 21, 25, ... How can I do so? Also, how should I set it in report designer for this purpose?|||Can you explain little more in detail (perhaps with some sampoe) ? Is your data in the format 20,21,25 for each record ?|||You could pass in a string like you describe. You would need to have logic in your report or stored procedure to handle such a request, though...|||In my report, there is a chart to compare sales performance between several products which are selected by user. The number of selected products is not fixed. I need to pass multiple productID into the report.

Also, I face a problem that ...seem I can't pass parameters into SQL functions to build dataset. Is it a rule? The error msg is "Syntax error or access violation.". My statement is as follows:

select * from getTable(@.productID)

Notes: getTable is a user-defined function.|||so what u can do

Select * from table where productid in (@.productid)|||In the following statement, getTable is a function with many calculation.

select * from getTable(@.productID)

If I use the one below, I can't get what I want. Also, seem can't be a string e.g. "12, 13, 14"
Select * from table where productid in (@.productid)|||so just pass the value in paenthesis

like '12,13,14'. it will definitely work.

If it is a function. then it should return the value same as u mentioned like "12,13,14"
if u can make it " '12,13,14' " . Then you can pass on values.

Passing Multiple values in Drill Through Report

I have a report called ReportA which has a group header that is summing
detail rows. In the textbox that I am using to some I have selected the
action property and set it to "Jump to" ReportB. ReportB has a parameter of
StudentID. Based on Summed values from the detail section of ReportA I would
like to pass the StudentID's to ReportB. Basically what I'm saying is I
would like for ReportA to pass ReportB a parameter that has multiple values.
Either this way or any way that based on the action property of a textbox I
could pass the multiple values to another report. Any help or ideas would be
appreciated.Should work similar to other multiple value parameter reports. Search this
newsgroup for "multi-value parameters" and "multiple parameters" for
postings from folks who have asked similar question.

I need to set the action property for this cell that is summing to be able
to pass as a parameter StudentID's of the related records that make up the
summed values. If I can get pass this I can accomplish what I need.
Thanks!

Passing multiple selections to a stored proc parameter

Hi,

I am currently in the process of building a stored procedure that needs the ability to be passed one, multiple or all fields selected from a list box to each of the parameters of the stored procedure. I am currently using code similar to this below to accomplish this for each parameter:

CREATE FUNCTION dbo.SplitOrderIDs
(
@.OrderList varchar(500)
)
RETURNS
@.ParsedList table
(
OrderID int
)
AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @.OrderID varchar(10), @.Pos int

SET @.OrderList = LTRIM(RTRIM(@.OrderList))+ ','
SET @.Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @.OrderList, 1)

IF REPLACE(@.OrderList, ',', '') <> ''
BEGIN
WHILE @.Pos > 0
BEGIN
SET @.OrderID = LTRIM(RTRIM(LEFT(@.OrderList, @.Pos - 1)))
IF @.OrderID <> ''
BEGIN
INSERT INTO @.ParsedList (OrderID)
VALUES (CAST(@.OrderID AS int)) --Use Appropriate conversion
END
SET @.OrderList = RIGHT(@.OrderList, LEN(@.OrderList) - @.Pos)
SET @.Pos = CHARINDEX(',', @.OrderList, 1)

END
END
RETURN
END
GO

I have it working fine for the single or multiple selection, the trouble is that an 'All' selection needs to be in the list box as well, but I can't seem to get it working for this.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

My plan is to have the same ability as under the 'Optional' section of this page:

http://search1.workopolis.com/jobshome/db/work.search_criI see you parsing the list, but I don't see where you select any records based upon it. So where would your ALL logic be incorporated?sql

Passing a selected row column value to the stored procedure

I have a simple Gridview control that has a delete command link on it.

If I use the delete SQL code in line it works fine. If I use a stored procedure to perform the SQL work, I can't determine how to pass the identity value to the SP. Snippets are below...

The grid
<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2">
<Columns>
<asp:BoundField DataField="member_id" HeaderText="member_id" InsertVisible="False"
ReadOnly="True" SortExpression="member_id" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="member_username" HeaderText="member_username" SortExpression="member_username" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="member_firstname" HeaderText="member_firstname" SortExpression="member_firstname" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="member_lastname" HeaderText="member_lastname" SortExpression="member_lastname" />
<asp:BoundField DataField="member_state" HeaderText="State" SortExpression="member_state" />
<asp:CommandField ShowEditButton="True" />
<asp:CommandField ShowDeleteButton="True" />
</Columns>
</asp:GridView>
<asp:SqlDataSource ID="SqlDataSource2" runat="server" ConnectionString="<%$ ConnectionStrings:rentalConnectionString1 %>"
SelectCommand="renMemberSelect" SelectCommandType="StoredProcedure"
DeleteCommand="renMemberDelete" DeleteCommandType="StoredProcedure"
OldValuesParameterFormatString="original_{0}"
>

<DeleteParameters>

<asp:Parameter Name="member_id" Type="Int32" />

</DeleteParameters>

</asp:SqlDataSource
the SP

CREATE PROCEDURE renMemberDelete
@.member_id as int
As UPDATE [renMembers]
SET member_status=1
WHERE [member_id] = @.member_id
GO

Try:GridView2.DataKeyNames="member_id"

or

<asp:GridView ID="GridView2" runat="server" AllowPaging="True" AllowSorting="True"
AutoGenerateColumns="False" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource2" DataKeyNames="member_id">

Pass user selected parameter

I have a report where the user will clik on a field value and anotherreport will run and appear. I want to pass the field value the userclicks on as a parameter to the report so when the second report appersit will have been filtered by the user selected value.

Pass the parameter in the URL to the report you are opening, and on the PageLoad method of the aspx page that contains the target report, just create a new ReportParameter using the value of the query string, add it to an array, and call report.SetParameters() with that array.

Pass a collection to a SPROC

I am collecting companyID's form a data grid, I want to pass the selected values to a sproc via a variable. Any idea on the syntax?

this works using a query string within my code

WHERE (dbo.Promotions.ExpirationDate > GETDATE()) AND (dbo.Promotions.CompanyID IN (" + selectedCompanies + "))

this doesn't within my sproc

WHERE (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.ExpirationDate > GETDATE()) AND (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.CompanyID IN (@.SelectedCompanies))

I also tried

WHERE (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.ExpirationDate > GETDATE()) AND (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.CompanyID IN (SELECT @.SelectedCompanies))

and

WHERE (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.ExpirationDate > GETDATE()) AND (dbo.Promotions_ByLink.CompanyID IN (' + @.SelectedCompanies + '))

ThanksI know it's a little dirty, but I just created an user defined function to parse out a comma delimited string, and return a recordset of one column. Select [code] FROM dbo.MyFunctionName(@.myCommaDelimitedString) can be used in your where clause.|||Thanks,
I will give that a try|||We've had this discussion several times in this forum -- there are various solutions and various advocates of the different solutions (e.g.view post 306752). I happen to use the one KraGiE suggests. Here's an example of the parsing function:Treat Yourself to Fn_Split().

Terri|||Thanks a TON..I search the other post, but I didn't know what to search for.
Thanks again
