Setting same filter on Chart gives different results than setting on datset

  • HI

    I am using SSRS 2102 and trying to make a series of sales charts that first show regional data and then customer data from each region. I am finding that the same filter applied at the dataset level works differently than at the chart level

    It looks like :

    Fiscal Year

    Region sum( transaction)

    CustID sum(transaction)

    I have 2 charts... one to display sales data by region then another chart to display sales data by CustID

    I use a Report Parameter (RegionParamter)to figure out the region for which the customer data is displayed

    In order to only display customers within a specific region on my second chart I apply a region=RegionParameter filter on my CustID group in the second chart

    Everything works fine if a customer only exists in 1 region however if a customer exists in 2 or more regions I only get customer data in one region... usually the last one in an ordered list.

    However, if I apply the same region=RegionParameter filter at the dataset level the second chart works as expected... all customer data for each and every region is displayed... even if a customer is in multiple regions.

    Has anyone experienced this and if so is there a workaround that you could share?

    Thank you

  • This issue is very odd as the filter should be the same when applied at the dataset or the chart level. Maybe you cold display the parameter on the report to see what is different.

  • Hi

    I actually do that.. I put the parameter in a title to identify what Region is being displayed on the chart and it all seems to be "correct".

    I worked around the problem by creating a duplicate dataset to be used only for the one particular chart and applying the filter at the dataset gave me the result I needed. I sure wish that I could figure out what the chart filtering is not working as expected.
