  • Reply To: Migrate SSRS Reports to a New Server in Just a Few Clicks

    My assumption is no, but I'll ask anyway... Will this migrate data driven subscriptions?  Also, does this migrate the report server execution log (containing historical run information)?  Regardless, this may...

    I'm inclined to think that is going to fail as well.  Each multi-value parameter is going to be stored as an array, and I don't believe you can simply concatenate...

  • Reply To: SSRS reports URL in database

    Can you create a hidden parameter in the report(s) to store the user id?

    ...reporturl?UserIDParameter=UserID1234

    Then you could query it from the parameters column in ExecutionLog.

  • Reply To: SSRS reports URL in database

    Instead of querying the ExecutionLog views, take a look at the table ExecutionLogStorage.  There is a column there for UserName.  Strangely it does not include the UserID, so if you...

  • Reply To: Dynamic date parameters in a SQL Server Reporting Services 2008 R2 subscription

    (It's been a while since 2008 R2 and I don't recall everything that has changed.  I know my recommendations work on 2016.)

    I think you have two options...

    1. Make your subscription...

  • Reply To: SSRS query builder, generated SELECT statement causing error

    I'm less familiar MySQL, and I also don't use the query builder (so maybe I shouldn't be trying to answer your question!)  Anyway, I am looking at this from a...

  • Reply To: Cascading Parameters not Working with Date Parameter

    I'm wondering if this is a problem with the parameter options refreshing.  If you know it isn't, please disregard.  However, if you want to humor me - would you mind...

    Is it possible that your 30 second time was based on a cached execution plan on the database server or cached rdl data in SSDT?  Depending on whether you changed...

  • Reply To: Writing IF parameter = ""and ELSE conditions in ssrs

    Which equation are you currently using for that column (looks to be the same as variance)?

  • Reply To: Writing IF parameter = ""and ELSE conditions in ssrs

    Maybe flip SUM and IIF?  It looks like it is trying to sum up things that can't be summed (Sum(Fields!strCategory.Value="Payrole" etc.):

    Maybe this?

    =IIF(Parameters!IncludePTO.Value=1

    ,SUM(IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="Payrole", CInt(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0)))

    + SUM(IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="OT",Cint(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0)))

    + SUM(IIf(Fields!strCategory.Value="PTO",CInt(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0)))

    ,SUM(IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="Payrole", CInt(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0)))

    + SUM(IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="OT",Cint(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0)))

    )

    ...or this?

    =sum(

    IIF(Parameters!IncludePTO.Value=1

    ,IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="Payrole", CInt(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0))

    + IIF(Fields!strCategory.Value="OT",Cint(Fields!mnyMTDActual.Value),CInt(0))

    +...

  • Reply To: Writing IF parameter = ""and ELSE conditions in ssrs

    I just looked briefly, so maybe I am off but it looks like your "IIF(Sum(Fields!strCategory.Value="Payrole..." expression is missing a lot of closing parentheses?  11 by my count.

  • Reply To: Restrict available values from one parameter per othr parameters selected values

    As mentioned by SSC Guru, the term you want to search for is:  ssrs cascading parameters

    There are any number of tutorials and examples out there.  Here's one:  https://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertip/3466/cascaded-parameters-in-sql-server-reporting-services/

    You might try changing your IF to IIF?  If I remember correctly Excel formulas use "IF" while SSRS expressions use VB's "IIF"  (You could also use the Switch function to...
