I am creating a report aht the end user will direct from SSRS. We ahve it set with three Data sets (POData, param_Location,param_Company) and four parameters (company,location, start, end).
When using this report it gives a dropdown to select the Location. However, there isn’t an option to Select All. Which, we need. What is the best way to do this?
Note: The company parameter feeds the Location, the Location and company feeds the POData.
I’ve never really played around with SSRS outside of report building for Epicor and that’s typically where all the parameter filters are set.
So, I totally cheated on this one because I was curious how “end users will direct from SSRS”. Which I’m assuming you mean they’ll run the report from outside of Epicor.
Anyway, like I said, I cheated… this is what ChatGPT shows (hope its helpful):
SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS)
In SSRS, to enable a “Select All” option for a multi-value parameter:
Create the parameter:
Go to the Report Data pane, right-click Parameters, and choose Add Parameter.
Set the data type and available values for the parameter.
Set up the parameter to allow multiple values:
In the General tab of the parameter properties, check the box for Allow multiple values.
Create a dataset for the “Select All” option:
In the Available Values section of the parameter properties, select Get values from a query and create a dataset that includes all the values. You can add an extra record for “All” in this dataset if necessary.
Modify the query to handle “Select All”:
For your dataset query, you can modify it to handle the selection of “All” by checking if the parameter contains the special value (e.g., “All”). In SQL, you might write a query like this:
sql
Copy code
SELECT *
FROM YourTable
WHERE (YourColumn IN (@YourParameter) OR @YourParameter = 'All')
Add the “Select All” option:
In your report, when the user selects “All”, the query will return results for all values in the list. You may also need to handle the “All” option in your report design to show all data when selected.
