I have a parameter that receives his values from a dataset, but I receive multiple instance of the same value and I need to filter those in order to have only 1 occurence per value. I cant seem to find where I can manually edit the query.
This is what I get when I select Report Parameter Properties / Available Values / Get values from a query.
How can I filter it so I only get 1 of each which would make it easier for the user when I what to select what he wants to see from the report.
Thank you

I created a parameter [GroupID] that is used to query several datasets in my SSRS report. It is using the field [GroupID] from my GroupList_Rolling12 dataset. An example of [GroupID] is 77610N. When 77610N is selected, all of my datasets are correctly 'filtering' for this [GroupID].
I now need to create a text box that returns the [GroupName] of [GroupID]. In other words, when 77610N is selected from my GroupID parameter, I want the [GroupName] that is associated with the selected GroupID parameter to display.
I'm still very new to SSRS and cannot figure this out. I tried creating the expression =First(Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12") but that did not work since it simply returns the first value from the query.
I also tried =First(Parameters!GroupID.Value(0)) but this also did not work
I also tried this expression =Lookup(Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12")
)
Can you please help?
You can reference the parameter label directly like this
=Parameters!GroupID.Label
There is no need to put the index on the end (=Parameters!GroupID.Label(0)) unless your parameter is multi-value, in which case it would select the first selected entry.
I have a report that requires 3 parameters, all 3 has q query to pre populate them using a dataset for each, so the under their properties the available values is selected with the query. Default were also set to use the same query. This work fine.
My problem is when the user of the report wanted to enter the values themselves rather than going into the list populated by the query. Users know the value that they wanted to enter so it's faster for them to enter rather than select. SSRS report seems not to give you the ability to enter if you have set the available values and default values for some reason. Is their a way to go around this please?
Many thanks.
There is one straight forward way to use comma separated multi value parameter rather than list where user enters input.
Below link explains in detail, but I am quite sure you do not want to stick to below solution.
https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3479/how-to-use-a-multi-valued-comma-delimited-input-parameter-for-an-ssrs-report/
Another thing you could do is keep your multi value parameter as list as it is and create a text input parameter.
Now if user want to simply choose from list fair enough you will have to handle second parameter as null because user chose from list.
Then on your dataset check and apply filter as 2nd parameter value as not null.
Same goes if user does text input then multi value parameter as not null.
I have a record group that is using a block item, i.e. where cust_id = :order.cust_id
Sometimes it works, sometimes not.
When I query an existing record, I am able to add a new line and enter the condition code i.e. from the populated record group. But when I enter a new order, the list is empty. I tried to put the code in when-new-record-instance, but I get an error
select profile profile1, profile profile2
from dss.v_unit_conditions
where cust_id = :order.dsp_cust_id
and profile_type = 'UC'
and active = 'Y'
41337 - cannot populate list from record group
If I use that in when-tab-change, then I get the same error.
When you perform query, you acquire :ORDER.DSP_CUST_ID value so Record Group Query fetches something.
On the other hand, when you're entering a new order, I presume that :ORDER.DSP_CUST_ID is empty, query doesn't return anything and raises an error.
It means that :ORDER.DSP_CUST_ID must be known. In order to make the Record Group Query work, consider creating it dynamically, i.e. when :ORDER.DSP_CUST_ID gets its value. As it seems that you're entering it manually, the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM might be your choice. Have a look at CREATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY (and, possibly, POPULATE_GROUP_FROM_QUERY) built-ins. They are described (with examples) in Forms Online Help System.
I have an Access database set up that takes a bunch of raw data, splits things up in different 'select' queries and pipes the results into various CSV files, where a dashboard set up in Excel will pick it up.
There's some data that I'm trying to calculate in Access, namely I have a quantity field, and I need to calculate the percentage of for each record. In other words, quantity / total of quantity.
Using my rather limited Access abilities, I tried the following query:
SELECT [Sales].*, [Quantity] / Sum([Quantity]) AS QuantityPercent FROM [Sales];
Which comes up with an error:
Your query does not include the specified expression 'company_name' as part of an aggregate function.
Company_name is the first field of the table, and after some Googling and Binging, I'm still quite confused as to what it means in this context.
To sum it up, my question is this: Is there a way to calculate data based off the total of a column/field?
The easy method is to use DSum:
SELECT
[Sales].*,
[Quantity] / DSum("[Quantity]", "[Sales]") AS QuantityPercent
FROM
[Sales];
I have a report that uses a Multi Value parameter. I have added this to the report and can specify the parameter values in code.
Now I want to filter the data on the report by the multiple value parameter. Eg, I pass in a list of account no's and I want to filter the data on the report so only records with the passed in account no's are shown.
In the tablix properties there is a filters option which looks like the place I need to set up the filters.
I have added a new one, selected the Account Number column on the report. The operator that seems relevant to me is the 'in' operator. So show records that a 'in' this list. However, If i select the 'in' filter the expression text box is disabled. Is this what im meant to use?
Found it:
You should filter on The name of the parameter rather than an expression.
eg:
[#CostCentres]
rather than:
=Parameters!CostCentres.Value
