Filter expression (Like or In)
First off, my issue is similar to this one: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/is/sqlreportingservices/thread/4da9feab-5788-4504-821f-2668a5612b6b I have two date fields and a dropdown in SSRS 2008. Based on the dates selected, the dropdown is populated with a list of relative data (in this case, carriers for shipments). That part works fine. What doesn't work is the actual filtering based on what is selected. If I pick multiple carriers, it only shows data for the very first selected one in the list. It had a filter in it as follows: Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.Value(0) I have tried a ton of combinations and can't get this working, what should the filter actually be?

I just tried that with both the 'In' and 'Like' operators and get no results when I select from the list.

Hi There Thanks for your posting. I am assuming that you have multivalued parameter.I would say tha you can pass Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.Value Many thanks Syed Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.Value

You're right on the multivalue parameter though. It seems to make sense that my initial value of =Parameters!Carrier.Value(0) would only show the first record if it's zero based, but I don't know why it's not working with your suggestion.

Hi There Thanks for your posting. Is your Value is exactly same as Fields!Carrier or your label is is exactly same as Fields!Carrier Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.value Many thanks Syed

Hi There Thanks for your posting. Is your Value is exactly same as Fields!Carrier or your label is is exactly same as Fields!Carrier Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.label Many thanks Syed Hi there I have tried this on my side and it is working perfectly as I have suggested above.one thing When we preview a report, the data for the report is cached to a file on the local computer. When we preview the same report report Designer retrieves the cached copy rather than rerunning the query. The data file is saved as <reportname>.rdl.data in the same directory as the report definition file. In normal situation, the cached file doesnt work once we modify the query. I still suggest that you delete the cached .rdl.data file and then check the issue again. Are you using Stored procedure or Dataset. Please also try to filter the data in your dataset like this Select * from yourtable Where Carrier in (@Carrier) and take off the filter from Tablix and see if t ake any difference Many thanks Syed

Hi There Thanks for your posting. Is your Value is exactly same as Fields!Carrier or your label is is exactly same as Fields!Carrier Expression: =Fields!Carrier.Value Operator: In Value: =Parameters!Carrier.label Many thanks Syed Yes, it was exactly as you outlined above. I checked the directory for an rdl.data file associated with this report and there isn't one... not sure why that is. As for your second post, I'm not too sure what you mean. I have two stored procedures that this report uses: One that actually display the data, and one that generates the drop down list of carriers. Do you mean I should do that WHERE statement in one of the stored procedures?

Hi meef, Thanks for your posting. This is a known issue that passing multi-value parameter to a stored procedure. In SQL Server Reporting Services, multi-value parameters are passed to SQL stored procedures as a comma-delimited string of the values which cannot be parsed correctly by the stored procedure. That way, only the first value of the parameter can be passed to the stored procedure. To work around the issue, we need to parse/split the comma-delimited string into values that can be used in IN clause or operator. For the details, you can refer to the related thread and blog below: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlreportingservices/thread/0ead7ceb-3fdd-4625-aa82-1d4195f984b1/#f630f267-ae32-420b-a9ee-20fb79276f5dhttp://blog.summitcloud.com/2010/01/multivalue-parameters-with-stored-procedures-in-ssrs-sql/ Regards, Mike Yin
