Query Parameter question

Hello:

We're using RS2005 and I have the following question:

I have two report parameters that populated by a query within RS2005 and that works fine. Based on what I selected for the two report parameters I need to use these values to retrieve my Client's Name and paste on top of report in the header section of the report. I'm new at working with RS2005 but it appears to be hanging for some reason.

This is what I do to attempt to get the Client's Name. I created two individual datasets and populate with a query within RS2005. I created a third dataset and create parameters @.PCMR, @.PACCTNUM in the edit dataset section. I use parameters @.PCMR and @.PACCTNUM in WHERE clause of SQL statement in third dataset. I hope what I'm saying is making sense.

Best regards

You can have a filter condition for your third dataset. Go to Filters tab in Edit dataset and select "PCMR" under Expression and select "=" under Operator and select "Parameters!PCMR.Value" under Value section.

This should do the trick.

Shyam,

Thanks for the response however, I discovered my problem. It had to do with a 4th dataset I partially completed. I deleted the 4th dataset and the report runs fine.

Best regards

Query parameter drop-down not available once report is cached

Hi, I have a date parameter that is populated from a query to give me a
month drop-down on my report. When a user selects the month and runs
the report, it passes the parameter to a query to return a dataset.
This is all straight forward. Since the report runs quite slowly, I
wanted to cache the report witha dafault month, but allow the users to
then re-run the report with other months. I found that once I cached
the report on a shared schedule, the month drop-down is no longer
available for me to select a new query parameter to rerun the report.
Another filter parameter is available, so I am assuming it it because
it is a query parameter.
Is there a way to cache the reoprt, but still allow users to reselect
the query parameter and rerun the report?You can make the month parameter a filter parameter, bring back a all the
months data and then apply the month filter to the data regions in the
report..
Or if you are using Enterprise Edition you could preload the cache using a
data-driven subscription, see "Preloading the Cache"
