Hello,
I need to be able to set the date parameters of a report dynamically when it is run based on system time. The problem I am having is being able to compare the dates (StartDate & EndDate) against [Service Date 1]. Essentially this report will only pull the current month's data.
The date fields being created with the GETDATE, DATEADD & DATEDIFF functions are working correctly. Do I need to create a separate dataset to be able to run the parameters automatically in the actual report?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
SELECT TodaysDate =GetDate()-2,dbo.[Billing Detail].[Service Date 1], DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, DATEADD(yy, 0, GETDATE())), 0) AS StartDate, DATEADD(dd, - 1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, -1, GETDATE()), 0)) AS EndDate, dbo.[Billing Detail].Billing, dbo.[Billing Detail].Chart, dbo.[Billing Detail].Item,
dbo.[Billing Detail].[Sub Item], dbo.Patient.[Patient Code], dbo.Patient.[Patient Type], dbo.[Billing Header].Charges, dbo.Practice.Name
FROM dbo.[Billing Detail] INNER JOIN
dbo.Patient ON dbo.[Billing Detail].Chart = dbo.Patient.[Chart Number] INNER JOIN
dbo.[Billing Header] ON dbo.[Billing Detail].Billing = dbo.[Billing Header].Billing CROSS JOIN
dbo.Practice
WHERE (dbo.[Billing Detail].Item = 0) AND (dbo.[Billing Detail].[Sub Item] = 0) AND (dbo.[Billing Detail].[Service Date 1] Between StartDate AND EndDate
Phorest,
You should be able to add the parameters to your query. If you are going against SQL Server, you can replace your parameters with @.StartDate AND @.EndDate. Then in the properies of the dataset, you can assign those parameters to Parameters!StartDate.Value and Parameters!EndDate.Value, respectively.

OK,
I think what I need to do is write the expression as a non-queried default value. However when I paste in what I know works in SQL Management Studio it returns an error "Name 'mm' is not declared"
<@.StartDate> =DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, DATEADD(yy, 0, GETDATE())), 0)
<@.EndDate> =DATEADD(dd, - 1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, -1, GETDATE()), 0))
I tried putting an integer after DATEADD(mm, X , 102 DATEDIFF... but i can't get beyond intellisense. How can I fix my expression to work with Reporting Services?
What I need is to have expressions to choose the first day of the month to the last day of the same month compared to NOW()
|||Apparently that is the trick to use non-queried default values as an expression, However what I posted yesterday will not work as an expression due to the expressions limitations in SSRS:
<@.StartDate> =DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, 0, DATEADD(yy, 0, GETDATE())), 0)
<@.EndDate> =DATEADD(dd, - 1, DATEADD(mm, DATEDIFF(mm, -1, GETDATE()), 0))
Now I am using:
<@.StartDate> =DATEADD("D", -30, NOW())
<@.EndDate> =DATEADD("D", 1, NOW())
After much searching and experimentation I can get this to work well, but it isn't exactly what I want. Does any one have any tips as to being able to write the expression to select the first day of the current month and last day of the month?
It seems to be just beyond my grasp at this time...
Thanks!
|||Phorest,
I'm afraid I misunderstood what you're trying to do. If you want a query that returns rows where the [Billing Detail].[Service Date 1] is between the start and the end of the current month, you can do that all in SQL.
It would look something similar to:
WHERE dbo.[Billing Detail].[Service Date 1]
BETWEEN dateadd(mm, datediff(mm,0,getdate()), 0)
AND dateadd(ms,-3,dateadd(mm, datediff(m,0,getdate() ) + 1, 0))
Does that work for you?

|||I'll have to try that in the SQL, though I was more after an expression more as a datetime datatype so it picks all the dates in the current month only and the user can then adjust the parameter manually after the initial running of the report if they so choose.
Thanks!
|||I found what I was looking for here: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=1581230&SiteID=1
In the Report Parameters properties I set the DataType to DateTime and using the Default Values, Non-Queried radio button set the expressions like the following:
@.StartDate =DateSerial(Year(NOW()), Month(NOW)) +0,1) gives me the first date of the current month.
@.EndDate =DateSerial(Year(NOW()), Month(NOW)) +1,0) gives me the last date of the current month.
All is wellnow!
