SSRS日期范围参数

Question

I have a report in SSRS 2016 that contains one SP which has a date field called startdate. I'd like to create a parameter where the user can select between two ranges: startdate >='2017'or startdate < '2017'. This seems like it should be simple, but I can't see to find an easy way to do this.

I've tried to create a parameter in SSRS where I chose "Specify Values" and manually added these values but I get an error that the "expression references the parameter "startdate" which does not exist in the Parameters collection.

I'm sure I can create this by creating a stored procedure with these dates, but that seems like more work than is needed.

Does anyone know of a better way to do this?

If you are looking to have a parameter that has two options, 0 - Before 2017, and 1 - After 2017 then you should just create a Date parameter which has two options, Before 1/1/2017 in the label field with a 0 in the value field and After 1/1/17 in the label field with a 1 in the value field. Then in your report you just have to filter your data based upon the 1 or 0 value.

For example:

DECLARE @DateFilter INT = 1

    IF ( @DateFilter = 0 )
        BEGIN
            SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable t
            WHERE t.DateFilter < '1/1/17'
        END

    IF ( @DateFilter = 1 )
        BEGIN
            SELECT * FROM dbo.MyTable t
            WHERE t.DateFilter >='1/1/17' 
        END

I don't know why you would filter your data this way. I recommend to use Larnu's suggestion that you have two parameters, a Start Date and an End Date. Otherwise this could return a lot of rows for the second option as time goes on.

Add a couple of parameters in SSRS say, FromDate and ToDate and make its data type as Date/Time. You can specify the default values for these parameters using DateAdd functions and samples give below:

Today:

=Today()

last week from today:

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Day, -7,Today())

You can add/reduce year, quarter month etc. in a similar way as shown below. Just change the number to the required length

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Year,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Quarter,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Month,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.DayOfYear,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekOfYear,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.WeekDay,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Hour,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Minute,-1,Today())

=DateAdd(DateInterval.Second,-1,Today())
