Pass a parameter value to a Dataset Parameter in SSRS 2008

Question

I have a dataset with a parameter as which is passed to a query as shown below.

The issue here is DataSet parameter queryOptions does not accept the value from the Report Parameter Date .

If i hardcode any value eg <CalendarDate> 08/11/2012 </CalendarDate> instead of <CalendarDate> = Parameters!Date.Value </CalendarDate> the report works fine.

What wrong am i doing while passing parameter.

I even created another Dataset Parameter named Date and assigned Parameter Value [@Date] even that did not work.

Note : Parameter Date is of type DateTime

Answer 1

You can try the dynamic expression under your parameter value. Something like following expression:

    =”<QueryOptions><CalendarDate> = “&Parameters!Date.Value.Tostring(“MM/dd/yyyy”) &”</CalendarDate></QueryOptions>”

Answer 2

Ok i got this working!

1. I created a new Parameters in the Parameters folder as Date and queryOptions .So basically queryOptions is everything that i want to use as a query.

2. Then another queryOption parameter is created under Dataset Properties>>Parameters .

3. Set value of queryOptions (Step 2) to [queryOptions] (Step 1).
