SSRS Parameter to select a column name on value which to filter the dataset

Question

I need to allow my user to select a column name and its value from a parameter (or two params) to filter the result.

I have a text parameter with a few column names that are listed in my dataset Column1, Column2, Column3. Each of those columns has only two values 1 and 0.

I would love some help in getting an idea how to filter my dataset based on the column name listed in the parameter and a selected value (1 or 0)

I assume it has to be related to a dynamic sql but, not sure how to incorporate that in either the WHERE clause or the actual dataset filter.

Thanks for any points guys!! :)

Answer 1

In the tablix you can use the filter section to set the criteria col1 = param1.This will only select the rows that match the value of the parameter.
