Multiple values Parameter; Ctrl+A equivalent

  • Is there any Ctrl+A equivalent

    for Multiple values parameter?

    Let's say the list has accounts 1000,1001,1002,1003,1004,etc.

    Can user select accounts from 1000 to 1004 in one action?

  • When a multi value parameter is set up it typically includes a check box for Select All. But if you just want to include a subset then you need to select the values individually.

  • When you create your parameters there is a check box in the 'General' section of the properties that says Allow Multiple Values. If you select this when you create the parameter SSRS will automatically add a 'Select All' option at the top of your parameter drop-down box.

    I know the Allow Multiple Values check box is available in both 2008 R2 and 2012 versions of SSRS. I can't say for sure if it was there in 2005. What version are you using?

  • Thanks SSCrazy.

    The other contributor didn't get my point, no problem.

    Maybe I wasn't clear enough.

    User wants to search account descriptions by keyword

    but if the result range is still large (50-60 accounts)

    he wants to further filter the selection quickly.

    "quickly" is the key!

    He doesn't want to manually click 60 times to select accounts from the listbox.

    Looks like the only way I can do it is

    adding "Account range start" and "Account range end" parameters.

    Not a very neat solution... ;-(

  • You will have to use cascading parameters, thus, yes, more than one parameter. SSRS is not the best reporting tool for these types of things. It does have limitations.
