Default parameter's label field disappeared
Hi, I was wondering if any of u faced a problem like me.... I have report with a parameter that has no available values but only default values... But when I select default value from a query ..I c only values field not label field....This is causing a trouble as I am passing integer value to my dataset but I want to show the text value to the users. Is there any way to overcome this. Thanks! AkkiAkki

Hi There, To display the parameter labels in the report at runtime, we must set available values for the parameter. Once the available values are set, the parameter will be selectable. This is by design. To work around the issue, you can set the parameter visibility to Hidden and then add a textbox in the report footer or the top of report body to display the parameter name and the expected parameter labels. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Regards, Mike Yin

Hi There What you could do bring the label field and value field and just put label field as a value so that user can see that. When user choose the value (Label)then you can translate back to your value field based on label value and passed to your details dataset Please let me know if you have any questions Many Thanks Syed Qazafi Anjum Please click "Mark as Answer" if this resolves your problem or "Vote asHelpful" if you find it helpful

Hi Syed Qazafi Anium, Is that possible to display parameter default value and user cannot change the value. E.g. Value should look like this Parameter Name --- Parameter value in Label which cannot be editable.Amit Please mark as answer if helpful http://fascinatingsql.wordpress.com/
