Regarding filter search option in SSRS
Hi, Do any one have idea for search option in the filter of SSRS,like in the filter let say for the category parameter we have 100 values , instead of scrolling down for the required option. can we have an option for search in the filter so that when we type certain value it will come up for example in the Google website, when we type the value in the search bar in the drop down we will get the option..same as that...........can we do in the ssrs. If yes how can we achieve? Do we need to write any .net code? have any one gone through this type of requirement in SSRS thanks, aravind

It's a front end future actually but you can try this method by using LIKE % condition, see the example here. http://romiller.com/2008/07/29/searchable-dependant-parameters-in-ssrs/ Hope this helps!

Hi aravindt46, Based on your description, your parameter list is too long to select one available value. You want to input some keyword, and then all of available values which are begin with the keyword will display in the parameter list. So, we can create cascading parameters. One is a keyword parameter, and the other parameter is based on the keyword to display available values. For example, I have a dataset is named DataSet1 and within an EnglishProductCategoryName field which is select from a DimProductCategory table. In order to achieve this, please refer to the steps below: 1. Add a parameter, input “keyword” in both “Name” and “Prompt” properties, and then click OK. 2. Add another parameter, and then input “Category” in both “Name” and “Prompt” properties. In the left pane, select Available Values, and then select “Get values from a query” option. Set the Dataset, Value field and Label field like this: Dataset Value field Label field DataSet1 EnglishProductCategoryName EnglishProductCategoryName 3. Right-click DataSet1, select Dataset Properties. Set the Query like this: SELECT EnglishProductCategoryName FROM DimProductCategory WHERE (EnglishProductCategoryName LIKE @keyword + N'%') After previewed the report, if we input “A” in the keyword parameter text box, begin with “A” EnglishProductCategoryName will display in the Category parameter list. For more information about cascading parameters, please refer to the article below: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa337169.aspx Best Regards, Bin Long
