I'm building a report in Visual Studio 2008 with a lot of multivalue parameters and it's working great, but I would like to have have the "(Select all)" option as the default value when the report is opened.
Is there some kind of expression or SQL code I can use to make this happen? Or do I need to choose "(Select all)" every time, in every parameter, each time I want to run the report?
Try setting the parameters' "default value" to use the same query as the "available values". In effect it provides every single "available value" as a "default value" and the "Select All" option is automatically checked.
Using dataset with default values is one way, but you must use query for Available values and for Default Values, if values are hard coded in Available values tab, then you must define default values as expressions. Pictures should explain everything
Create Parameter (if not automaticly created)
Define values - wrong way example
Define values - correct way example
Set default values - you must define all default values reflecting available values to make "Select All" by default, if you won't define all only those defined will be selected by default.
The Result
One picture for Data type: Int
Does not work if you have nulls.
You can get around this by modifying your select statement to plop something into nulls:
phonenumber = CASE
WHEN (isnull(phonenumber, '')='') THEN '(blank)'
ELSE phonenumber
END
The accepted answer is correct, but not complete.
In order for Select All to be the default option, the Available Values dataset must contain at least 2 columns: value and label. They can return the same data, but their names have to be different. The Default Values dataset will then use value column and then Select All will be the default value. If the dataset returns only 1 column, only the last record's value will be selected in the drop down of the parameter.
Adding to the answer from E_8.
This does not work if you have empty strings.
You can get around this by modifying your select statement in SQL or modifying your query in the SSRS dataset.
Select distinct phonenumber
from YourTable
where phonenumber <> ''
Order by Phonenumber
It works better
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[T_Status](
[Status] [nvarchar](20) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[T_Status] ([Status]) VALUES (N'Active')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[T_Status] ([Status]) VALUES (N'notActive')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[T_Status] ([Status]) VALUES (N'Active')
GO
DECLARE #GetStatus nvarchar(20) = null
--DECLARE #GetStatus nvarchar(20) = 'Active'
SELECT [Status]
FROM [T_Status]
WHERE [Status] = CASE WHEN (isnull(#GetStatus, '')='') THEN [Status]
ELSE #GetStatus END
This is rather easy to achieve by making a dataset with a text-query like this:
SELECT 'Item1'
UNION
SELECT 'Item2'
UNION
SELECT 'Item3'
UNION
SELECT 'Item4'
UNION
SELECT 'ItemN'
The query should return all items that can be selected.

I have a table that I need to add the same values to a whole bunch of items
(in a nut shell if the item doesn't have a UNIT of "CTN" I want to add the same values i have listed to them all)
I thought the following would work but it doesn't :(
Any idea what i am doing wrong ?
INSERT INTO ICUNIT
(UNIT,AUDTDATE,AUDTTIME,AUDTUSER,AUDTORG,CONVERSION)
VALUES ('CTN','20220509','22513927','ADMIN','AU','1')
WHERE ITEMNO In '0','etc','etc','etc'
If I understand correctly you might want to use INSERT INTO ... SELECT from original table with your condition.
INSERT INTO ICUNIT (UNIT,AUDTDATE,AUDTTIME,AUDTUSER,AUDTORG,CONVERSION)
SELECT 'CTN','20220509','22513927','ADMIN','AU','1'
FROM ICUNIT
WHERE ITEMNO In ('0','etc','etc','etc')
The query you needs starts by selecting the filtered items. So it seems something like below is your starting point
select <?> from dbo.ICUNIT as icu where icu.UNIT <> 'CTN' order by ...;
Notice the use of schema name, terminators, and table aliases - all best practices. I will guess that a given "item" can have multiple rows in this table so long as ICUNIT is unique within ITEMNO. Correct? If so, the above query won't work. So let's try slightly more complicated filtering.
select distinct icu.ITEMNO
from dbo.ICUNIT as icu
where not exists (select * from dbo.ICUNIT as ctns
where ctns.ITEMNO = icu.ITEMNO -- correlating the subquery
and ctns.UNIT = 'CTN')
order by ...;
There are other ways to do that above but that is one common way. That query will produce a resultset of all ITEMNO values in your table that do not already have a row where UNIT is "CTN". If you need to filter that for specific ITEMNO values you simply adjust the WHERE clause. If that works correctly, you can use that with your insert statement to then insert the desired rows.
insert into dbo.ICUNIT (...)
select distinct icu.ITEMNO, 'CTN', '20220509', '22513927', 'ADMIN', 'AU', '1'
from ...

I am trying to set up a database that has the following columns, "number", "full names", "card no", "status". In the last column status there are many types of status, which I would like to have them converted to 0 or 1 to another column within the table, depending on the statuses. The database then, is to be pulled to another application and will use the binary column to give access to a facility.
I have not tried any code on this, still learning.
SELECT TOP 1000 [MemberNo]
,[FirstName]
,[LastName]
,[CardNo]
,[Status]
FROM [GateAccess].[dbo].[GateProxy]
Not sure why ask a question when you havent tried anything...
First you are trying to create a table with following columns not a database.
Here is a link of how to create a table http://www.mysqltutorial.org/mysql-create-table/
Second you dont really need to to convert char to numeric I would personally use CASE
here is a link on case https://www.techonthenet.com/mysql/functions/case.php
Regarding to your 'application and will use the binary column to give access to a facility' it depends on what application is pulling the data.
This may help ...
DECLARE #sampletext VARCHAR(100) = '123456';
SELECT TRY_CONVERT(INT, #sampletext); -- 123456
SELECT TRY_CAST(#sampletext AS INT); -- 123456
SELECT TOP 1000 [MemberNo]
,[FirstName]
,[LastName]
,[CardNo]
,[Status]
-- Try like this for new derived column
,CASE WHEN [Status] = 'yourValue'THEN 1
WHEN [Status] = 'yourOtherValue' THEN 0
END
FROM [GateAccess].[dbo].[GateProxy]
I'm trying to create a parameter in SSRS where the user has the option to either manually enter an id or else have the report return all records. This is how the parameter currently looks:
In this situation the user can manually enter one providerid, which works. But is it possible for the user to leave the providerid parameter blank and then by default the report will run for all records?
The providerid parameter is populated with a stored procedure:
Select distinct cast(providerid as varchar(25)) as providerid
from Table A
I've read other threads on here that appear similar, but I can't figure out how to get this work.
The standard way to do this is:
Add another item to your drop list called ALL with a special value
Select distinct
cast(providerid as varchar(25)) as providerid,
cast(providerid as varchar(25)) as providerLabel
from Table A
union all
select -1, 'All Providers'
Make sure you assign label and value correctly.
Allow for this special value in your stored proc:
where ...
and (providerid = #providerid or #providerid = -1)
and ...
I am working on an SSRS report and a part of my sql query is like
WHERE SuperVisorId IN (#SupervisorIDs) AND CreatedDate> #StartDate
where the #SupervisorIDs is a dropdown with option of "select all" and individual supervisors.
So if the supervisors "all" option is selected , then I don't need to include that in the where clause and my where clause is only this
WHERE CreatedDate> #StartDate
So how can I make the WHERE clause looks different according to Selection of dropdown?
This only applies if you are using a single valued parameter with a manually added All option to the list of available values. Multi-value parameters do not know when all options are selected.
SQL Server doesn't always execute the conditions in a where clause in the order you write them, so if you are using where (#p = 'all' or col = #p) and ... you may still be comparing your values.
If performance is a concern, you can avoid this by using a short circuiting case, that only progresses to the actual data comparison if it is necessary:
where case when #SupervisorIDs = 'All' then 1
else case when SuperVisorId = #SupervisorIDs then 1
else 0
end
end = 1
and CreatedDate > #StartDate
Assuming that you are using a dataset query to populate the supervisor parameter dropdown, then you can try this.
Create an additional hidden parameter of a boolean type. For this example, I'll call it #AllSupsSelected. Set the default value of the parameter to:
=COUNT(Parameters!SupervisorIds.Label)=COUNT(Fields!SupervisorIdLabel.Value,"SupervisorDataset")
Replace the field and dataset names accordingly. If the dataset is returning non-distinct values, you may have to tinker further to get this working.
Now your query can read:
WHERE #AllSupsSelected OR SupervisorId IN (#SupervisorIds)
Make your where clause like below
WHERE (
(SuperVisorId IN (#SupervisorIDs))
OR (
#SupervisorIDs = 0
AND COLUMN_WITH_NULL IS NOT NULL
)
)
AND CreatedDate > #StartDate
And pass 0 when selected "select all"
As an actual answer to your particular problem, set your multi-valued parameter dataset up similar to this to return all Supervisors as well as a value at the bottom of the list for No Supervisor:
select distinct SupervisorID as Value
,SupervisorName as Label
,1 as Sort
from Suppliers
union all
select <Uniquely identifiable value with the same data type as SupervisorID> as Value
,'No Supervisor' as Label
,2 as Sort
order by Sort
,Label
Then in your dataset set up your filtering similar to the below. I have structured it in this manner to avoid using the isnull function on your SupervisorID column, which will hurt the query performance:
select cols
from tables
where SupervisorID in(#SupervisorID)
or (SupervisorID is null
and <Unique value from above> in (#SupervisorID)
)
which version of ssrs ? in 2016, you don't need to alter your query. when you click "select all" by default it pass all the values. so your query works good without changing anything.

I have a database in SQL Server with its data. I need change a part of some columns value in some conditions.
Imagine the value as "0010020001".
002 belongs to another value in my database and whenever I want to change it to 005, I must update the previous 10-digits code to "001005001".
Actually, I need to update just a part of columns value using UPDATE statement. How can I do it (in this example)?
While everyone else is correct that if you have control of the schema you should definitely not store your data this way, this is how I would solve the issue you as you described it if I couldn't adjust the schema.
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#test') IS NOT NULL
DROP TABLE #test
create table #test
(
id int,
multivaluecolumn varchar(20)
)
insert #Test
select 1,'001002001'
UNION
select 2,'002004002'
UNION
select 3,'003006003'
GO
declare #oldmiddlevalue char(3)
set #oldmiddlevalue= '002'
declare #newmiddlevalue char(3)
set #newmiddlevalue = '005'
select * from #Test
Update #Test set multivaluecolumn =left(multivaluecolumn,3) + #newmiddlevalue + right(multivaluecolumn,3)
where substring(multivaluecolumn,4,3) = #oldmiddlevalue
select * from #Test
Why dont you use CSV(comma separated values) or use any other symbol like ~ to store tha values. Once you need to update a part of it use php explode function and then update it. After your work is done, concat all the values again to get the desired string to be stored in your column.
In that case your column will have values VARCHAR like 001~002~0001
