How to write where clause that has parenthesis using MS SQL Server Report Builder 3.0

  • I am using "Microsoft SQL Server Report Builder 3.0" on "SQL Server Reporting Services 2012". As I am passing some parameters from main report to drillthrough report I have to use Graphical Query Designer to generate SQL query.

    In WHERE clause of SQL there are conditions like: .... WHERE condition1 AND condition2 AND (condition3 OR condition4 OR condition5 OR condition6)

    I know how to add AND/OR conditions by using appropriate "Operator" from Graphical Query Designer but I can't find a way to add parenthesis after AND.
    How can I do this using Report Builder 3.0? Is "Report Builder 3.0" capable of doing this or my only options is to use "Business Intelligence Development Studio"?

    Note: Was posted few days before on SO as well but didn't get any response 🙂

    When you are in the query designer, click on Edit As Text in the top left. You can type queries in the text based query designer window that opens.

  • Thank you Sue. It solved my problem. Somehow I didn't notice it and assumed that while passing parameters I can't use "Edit as Text".
