Date range parameters don't work in reportviewer?

Hi, I've got this ssrs 2005 report that works great passing a few
security related parameters from asp.net codebehind. However, there
are two date related parameters that won't be coming from my web form,
but rather from the report form itself. When I test the report's date
parameters from visual studio it work fine, but when I attempt the
same report from a reportviewer no matter what input I place on the
report's date fields or even if I select the date picker, the report
simply resets to default and reloads. And actually the date picker
from the reportviewer does not not even pop up.
Here's my aspx code:
<%@. Page Language="VB" AutoEventWireup="false"
Inherits="_ReportViewer" MasterPageFile="~/Main/MasterPage.master"
CodeFile="~/Reports/CashSales.aspx.vb" Title="Cash Sales" %>
<%@. Register Assembly="Microsoft.ReportViewer.WebForms,
Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a"
Namespace="Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms" TagPrefix="rsweb" %>
<asp:Content ID="Content1" ContentPlaceHolderID="Content1"
runat="Server">
<rsweb:ReportViewer BackColor="Transparent" ZoomMode="PageWidth"
Width="100%" ProcessingMode="Remote" ID="ReportViewer1"
runat="server">
<ServerReport ReportPath="/Retailer/CashSales"
ReportServerUrl="http://myserver/reportserver" />
</rsweb:ReportViewer>
</asp:Content>
the code behind:
Imports system.web.security.membership
Imports system.web.security.Roles
Imports Microsoft.Reporting.Webforms
Note: I'm only passing the parameters that are not coming from the
reportviewer form.
Partial Class _ReportViewer
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page
Private Users As New Retailer.Core()
Protected Overrides Sub OnLoad(ByVal e As EventArgs)
Dim Roles() As String = GetRolesForUser(Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString)
Dim cred As New Retailer.ReportServerCredentials("myuser",
"mypassword", "mydomain")
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.ReportServerCredentials = cred
Dim param As New ReportParameter("r_user",
Page.User.Identity.Name.ToString)
Dim param2 As New ReportParameter("r_role", Roles(0))
Dim p() As ReportParameter = {param, param2}
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(p)
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.Refresh()
End Sub
End Class
on my reportviewer form, at the top I have parameters for startdate
and end date, they are not set to internal or hidden.
thanks for any help or information.update on this. I see I am getting a javascript error, but it then
loading the report. How can I troubleshoot this? I've got disable i.e
script debugging turned off on i.e 7.0, but where would i place this
javascript to trap the error.
debugger; // execution will break here
to see the errors in VS.NET.
my report viewer in on a contentpage.
I see others have had a similar problem.
thanks for any help or information!|||More on this..
I noticed I get a javascript error when click on the calendar select:
Line: 606
Object Required
When I attempt to debug I get a Just-In-time failed : Unspecified
error. Check the documentation index for 'Just-in-time debugging,
errors' for more information.
and if I enter anything in the date fields, it disregards them and
loads with the defaults.
Could it be that I'm not sending security information when these built
in javascript functions are called?
thanks again.

date parmeter converts into drop down

I am working in SSRS 2005. I have three parameters on the reports

Parmeter 1 is Date filter which is drop down and values are MTD,QTD,YTD...

2nd and 3rd parameters are fromdate and todate which are datetime parameters.

When user select let's say MTD from parameter1 then i have Stored procedure which populate the fromdate paramter with 1st date of the month and, todate populate the todays's date. The problem i am facing is the moment these date parameters get populated it converts into drop down. i want these date parameters should be still datetime so user can select the date. The value i am passing to these parameters are datetime type( Now()) .Still the date parameters controls are showing as dropdown. I don't know how to handle it. Please help me if you have faced this kind of problem.

Thanks,

Ranjay

Dropdown appears because parameter's "available values" option is set. In this case, it is not possible to enter value. Try to set default value instead of available values.|||Lev,thanks for your reply. I know that it will work for default but i want to populate the date parameters based on some other parameters selcted in report. Default value just shows one time. it doesn't change the value next time when i change the other parameter.|||Default value can be query based.|||

That's true but problem with default value is it's not getting refreshed when my other parameter change. Default value is set only the first time when it initialize. I don't know if i was able to explain the problem properly

sql

Date Formatting

My problem is with the paramater format date.

My code and data in SQL are showing the date correctly as dd/mm/yyyy.

When I run report in SSRS a couple of columns show the date mm/dd/yyyy.

The format option in all cells are set to 'd'. There is no difference between the properties on these cells.

The dates themselves seem to go wrong on the date "31/12/4000" and returns them as "12/31/4000".

Any help wqould be appreciated

You need to change the report properties language setting to: English (United Kingdom). It defaults to English(United States)

Date format in ssrs

i just want to get a date format like this 'dd-mmm-yyyy'

Hello Joshy,

You can do this a couple of ways...

1. Right-click on your textbox with the date in it, and go to Properties. In the Format tab, enter this as your format code: dd-MMM-yyyy

2. Enter this as the expression for your textbox which holds the date: =Format(Fields!DateField.Value, "dd-MMM-yyyy")

Either way, today's date would show like this: 28-Mar-2007

Hope this helps.

Date Format

Hi everyone, I need help with the date formatting in ssrs 2000. I'm writting reports with date ranges, specific dates, and all are working fine. Now, I was asked to create a report that shows current month, a different one for the QTR, and and also for the current year. I've tried different formats, keep gettin stuck where it doesnt return data. Please help.

Abner

Are you using stored procedure? where do you need a help? in SQL or Report designer, please give me some more details.

I need help in report designer. I was able to run my report and get current dates, GETDATE(), but when it comes to current month, I've tried different ways but it dont work. So, I'm seeking as much help as possible. I'm still new at reporting service, but eager to learn as much as possible.

Thanks advance

Hi, Abner:

IDoes this meet your needs?

Month(ToDay())

Year(ToDay())

Hi REX,

Thanks for the reply, but I have tried those formats and i just get a blank page. Well, when I type MONTH(TODAY()) it dont reconize today, so I wrote MONTH(GETDATE()), and it just returns a blank page...ive tried it with =DatePart(m, GETDATE()), also =DATEADD(m, 0, GETDATE()), and DatePart("m", field!Promise_Date.Value). and it still just give me a blank page. Is it because I also have it divided by week? even thought I test it without breaking it into weeks. Pleasssssssssseeeeeeeeee help. I dont know how else to do it.

Hi Abner,

Date related functions in report viewer are not same as we have in dot net, they have some weired behavior, so we cant not use abbreviated Dateparts like "mm", "m" or "d". Check this post for more info on this -
