SSRS file error message: The number of defined parameters is not equal to the number of cell definitions in the parameter panel

Question

I have converted a report file from Crystal (.rpt) to SSRS (.rdl) using an automated service tool. When I preview the report in Viusal Studio SSDT I am getting a very strange error message:

“The number of defined parameters is not equal to the number of cell definitions in the parameter panel”

I did also try running this in Report Builder and I received the same error message.

The RDL file has 1710 lines; Below is the code for some of the nodes of the that seem like they would be relevant-- ReportParameters, ReportLayout, QueryParameters, CommandText.

Does anyone know what could be causing this error? And how I can get resolve it? I have read one article that suggested hidden parameters must have a default value-- SSRS the definition of the report is invalid ; Of the 8 parameters 7 are hidden and none of them have default parameters. But I'm not sure what the default values should be (if there must be one).

Any help is appreciated.

Answer 1

So it turns out that even if the parameter is hidden, it still need to have have a tag in the RDL file. I figured this out by testing another report to see how the RDL file behaved with a hidden parameter.

To correct the problem RDL file...

1. I opened it in a text editor
2. updated the <ReportParametersLayout><CellDefinitions> node to include a <CellDefinition> node for each parameter (code below)
3. saved the file
4. reopened the file in Visual Studio SSDT project, and then it worked! The report preview completed just fine.

Hope this helps someone else.

您还可以从报告 xml 文件中删除“ReportParametersLayout”标签

Design - NewDesign, Copy all objects in OldDesign and paste in NewDesign, Delete OldDesign and Publish. This is my solution too, it works fine.
