Using report snapshots and parameters (SSRS)

  • An additional question about SQL Server 2005 Reporting Services...

    Do any of you know whether it is possible to use snapshots within reports that are already using parameters?  For instance, if we try to use snapshots, then the parameters within the reports that our users are accessing appear to be grayed out and unusable for selection.

    Any suggestions?

  • If you wish to use snapshots, but be able to change the data displayed in the report, then use Filters.

    Parameters are applied before the data is stored in the snapshot. Filters are applied to the data after it has returned from the source, and thus can be applied against a snapshot.

    Look for "filters [Reporting Services]" in BOL.
