Nonreadable(Readonly-Can not change the date value) date parameter is possible in SSRS Report?
Thank you in advance.
Make a dataset that returns your desired date. Set the parameter's query dataset to take values from that dataset - i.e. there is only one date that can be selected. Make the parameter's default value be the value from that dataset. Uncheck "Allow null value".
The parameter now shows the desired date and can't be changed.

I'm trying to create calculated field in tableau, my below query is showing valid, however I want to give filter or parameter to it. For ex: I have a field called Account number and I want my below query to show sum of all the quarters revenue on account number level.
Sum(If ([Qtr]='2019-Q1' OR [Qtr]='2019-Q2' OR [Qtr]='2019-Q3' OR [Qtr]='2019-Q4')
THEN FLOAT([Revenue]) END)
Your logic will work.
For parameter: Create a parameter with String data type, add all field names to it. Then create a calculated field based on the parameter list. Add that calculated field to row shelf then change Parameter, the above formula will be recalculated.
For Filter: You can add filter directly.
1st option:
Add Account number as row in your worksheet
Create a Parameter String with values: 2019-Q1, 2019-Q2, 2019-Q3, 2019-Q4
Update your calculated field to:
If [Qtr]='Parameter Value' THEN FLOAT([Revenue]) END
Add this field as text and the value of sum will be for only that Qtr period
2nd option:
Add Account number as row in your worksheet
Create a Parameter String with values: 2019-Q1, 2019-Q2, 2019-Q3, 2019-Q4
Update your calculated field to:
[Qtr]='Parameter Value'
Add this field to the filters and the whole worksheet will filter on that Qtr period
You can also add another parameter for the year to be more flexible on the years
I have a crystal report where i have a date parameter called range that i want to default the min and maxdate values. So in the edit parameter dialog under value options section there are options for "start" and "end" which i want to be mindate and maxdate respectively. The problem i am trying to solve is i want all records to return if the user does not enter a value for the range. Is this even possible? Thanks in advance for any advice.
I am running latest version of crystal reports
Easy way I think is of using 2 parameters instead of one, That is one parameter for start date and other for End Date.
Add a default value None for both and if user doesn't want to select any value then ask to select None
Now change your record selection formula as
if {?start date} = "None" and {?End date} = "None"
then
//Don't pass any date filter
else
//Add date filter as per parameter selection
An easy way could be to just enter min and max dates manually and make the parameter not optional.
A more elegant way is to check whether the parameter has a value and only filter your records if it has. Put something like the below in your record selection formula:
if hasvalue({?range}) then {yourdatefield} in {?range} else true
If the parameter range has a value then it is used as filter. If it hasn't a value the term will evaluate to true meaning no records will be filtered.
Yes it is possible make the parameter as optional. By default it will bring all the data, if user not select any thing.
i have a ssrs report which uses ssas data source and all of the parameter in report also come from ssas data source. the problem is parameters are acting as cascading parameters. i can not have values in parameter drop-down until i select parameter from previous drop-down.
i wanted to have default value "All" selected when report loads instead of waiting for selecting first parameter and then load subsequent?
i have removed #parameters from parameter data source and now here is how my MDX looks like:
WITH MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER
[Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Category].[Category ID].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT
{
[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
[Measures].[ParameterValue],
[Measures].[ParameterLevel]
} ON COLUMNS ,
[Category].[Category ID].ALLMEMBERS
ON ROWS FROM
( SELECT ( [OwningEntity].[Entity ID] )
ON COLUMNS FROM
( SELECT ( [Organization].[Organization] ) ON COLUMNS FROM [PerformanceScores]
))
Create Additional data source , point your first parameter with default value "from query" to that data source - This parameter need to be on the top of the list as in SSRS order of parameters is important.
- Let me know if you got any problems.
Thanks

Create hidden parameter with IIF statement in default value.
in IIF put dummy date - this will not execute the report but will fill all the other parameters.
IIF(yourparameter.value="",dummydate.value,yourparameter.value)
Use this hidden parameter as your "Main" data range but default value will depend on visible parameter value in IIF statement when user can choose the range
This should work...
I have two reports bound to each other. On the first report when I choose a field I am lead to a second report showing only data from the row I selected in the first report. The second report is used for updating, therefore it takes in parameters. I have three text-boxes which allow a null value and a dropdown list.
First when I created the dropdown list and specified the values, and added a null value the report returned the row I selected in the first report with all the data. Now I tried to assign the values of the parameter to a database, but each time I get to this report it first asks to select a value from the dropdown and then it will display the data.
How can I add a Null value to the items retrieved from the DB so when null is selected as default then all values would be returned without any problems, and without any selection needed?
You would need to add a condition to your Dataset query to handle the NULL parameter.
For example:
WHERE #Parameter is NULL or ColumnValue = #Parameter
Working with NULL valued parameters, I usually use this syntax:
WHERE ColumnValue = COALESCE(#Parameter, ColumnValue)
In my SSRS report I wanted to default the date parameter with the execution date. I default the date patameter with =DateValue(Globals!ExecutionTime)
or =today. I do have 5 other parameters in my report.
In reporting manager, it makes the page refresh each time when I select another parameter value. Why is that? How do I solve this?
Hope this helps somebody still in need.
To avoid refreshes on changing parameters, avoid using expressions in the Parameter default values.
For example, instead of specifying =TODAY() expression, create a dataset with a SQL query such as SELECT getdate() = DefaultDate and from the parameter, refer to this dataset using query for your default value.
