Dynamic Report Parameters

mn1986

Hi,

I have 2 related questions:

1. How is one to set the 'default value' of a 'report parameter' using expression builder (scripting)?
There does not appear to be an option for doing this.

2. When we link the report parameter to data parameter then how do the default values work out for the both of them?

Let me elaborate with an example:

Say we have to enter the start and end date as input parameter.
If I set default value in report parameter as 11/11/2001
and default value in data parameter as 12/12/2002 then what exactly is the flow of events and data here?

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi mn1986,

If you set a default for your dataSet parameter and then create a report parameter and link the dataSet parameter to that report parameter, the default value you set in the dataSet parameter section becomes N/A by default because you tied it to a report parameter. You should be able to see this by opening up your dataSet and looking at the parameter section.

As for setting a scripted default value, I'm not sure that that's possible, I'd have to look into it more. I'll let you know if I figure anything out.
