  Hi

  I am using a multiselect parameter @DiagnosisType in SSRS report

  My sp states ...

  ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[..._count]

  @StartDate datetime,

  @EndDate datetime,

  @Costcenter varchar(3),

  @DiagnosisType varchar(100)

  AS

  SELECT .....

  where (dbo.ClinicalType.Code in (@DiagnosisType))

  Any ideas would be great ...

  Thanks

  Joe

  Try below

  ALTER PROCEDURE [dbo].[..._count]

  @StartDate datetime,

  @EndDate datetime,

  @Costcenter varchar(3),

  @DiagnosisType varchar(100)

  AS

  SELECT .....

  --where (dbo.ClinicalType.Code in (@DiagnosisType))

  where CHARINDEX(LTRIM(RTRIM(dbo.ClinicalType.Code)),@DiagnosisType) > 0

  That's not the best option. SSRS has an option to send the parameters in a way that can be evaluated as necessary within the IN clause.

  I don't remember how to do it, but you can search for that.

  If you prefer to do it all in T-SQL, you could use a splitter to split your variable. The best one using T-SQL is over here: http://www.sqlservercentral.com/articles/Tally+Table/72993/

  And you could use it like this:

  CROSS APPLY dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@DiagnosisType, ',') split

  WHERE ClinicalType.Code = split.Item

  OR

  WHERE ClinicalType.Code IN (SELECT Item FROM dbo.DelimitedSplit8K(@DiagnosisType, ','))

  Thanks for the info

  I am going to try that

  I did get around it by including the data in the SP without the where then using the filter on the Tablix , just not sure if its the best way....
