How to: Associate a Query Parameter with a Report Parameter (Report Designer)

To associate a query parameter with a report parameter

  1. In Data view, from Dataset, select the dataset for which to edit the parameter and click the edit (...) button.

  2. On the Parameters tab, do the following:

    • In Name, type the query parameter as it exists in the query.

      Note

      Parameter names are automatically populated based on the parameters in the query.

    • In Value, type or select an expression that evaluates to the value to pass to the query parameter.

  3. Repeat step 2 for additional query parameters.

    Note

    You are not limited to report parameters as values for a query parameter. You can use any expression that evaluates to a value for the parameter value.
