default value not working within report
On my reports I have several paratmeters and most of them are tied together, meaning that parameter 2 is based of the parameter 1 selection parameter 3 is based off of paratmeter 2 parameter 4 is based off of parameter 3 the issues I'm running into is that, for parameter 2, I want [ALL] to be my default and it's not working, I have the data coming from a query for parameter 2 and [ALL] is not part of the output of the query, could that be the reason? Example: parameter 1 options: Ford, Chevy, GMC parameter 2: is based off of parameter 1, but I want to show [ALL] so they can run a report on all models within the Ford for example, plus show all of the models within the parameter 1 selection. Any suggestions are appreciated

Hi There Thanks for your posting. I think you just need to alter your Model Parameter Dataset and add a union class for you r All models and your query might look like this Select distinct modelsID as modelsID, modelsDescription as modelsDescription FROM YourTable Where Make=@make(-- This I am assuming your parameter which contains(Ford, Chevy, GMC) UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS modelsID, 'All Models' as modelsDescription order by 1 Select distinct modelsID as modelsID, modelsDescription as modelsDescription FROM YourTable Where Make=@make(-- This I am assuming your parameter which contains(Ford, Chevy, GMC) UNION ALL SELECT NULL AS modelsID, 'All Models' as modelsDescription order by 1 and in your parameter Models please use this dataset (say Model) for getting values. Please make sure to allow null values to this parameter(Model) and go to default values of the Model parameter and put NULL as default value. When you choose your Make parameter say Ford, it will bring all model of ford and add another All models with ID null and by default it will select All model Now you just need to change your query like this. You could write the query for main dataset like this AND modelsID = ISNULL(@models, modelsID) so when the value passed as null it will return all Models otherwise it will match the Model passed from the parameter If you have any question please let me know.
