  • RE: SSRS parameters - multi-choice selection

    Unfortunately, there is no way to completely do what you're asking. You have three options:

  • RE: Filter the Dataset Fields through Parameters

    Not quite sure I understand exactly what you want. Do you want to build a report that shows a table of user selected columns from a list of available columns?...

    Some of the comments posted seem to be following the lines of "what if this, what if that, this isn't quite right".

    Type of index:

    0 = Heap

    1 = Clustered

    2 = Nonclustered

    3 = XML

    4 = Spatial

    Man you guys are finicky.

    Many of you prove your point by quoting MS documentation, but others of you claim MS Documentation isn't good enough.

    Which...

    Edit whoops, I missed all the discussion on page two... I guess that's already covered...

  • RE: Try to retrieve top 'x' values from tables and convert it to columns

    Unfortunately, there's no way to get a variable number of rows to columns. The best you can do from within TSQL is to choose a reasonable maximum number of...

  • RE: Try to retrieve top 'x' values from tables and convert it to columns

    When you say top 5, is five constant? or do you mean top X, like you said in your title?

    If you're ok with having a fixed number of columns,...

  • RE: Avoiding a Cartesian Join - Full Outer Join On Same Table with different criteria and multiple rows either side

    Here's a quick script that demonstrates what I was talking...
