This quick demo illustrates how I used a stored procedure with multiple selected parameter values within a SSRS Report. This technique can be used in the situation where developers want to utilize stored procedures, either by creating them from scratch or from existing legacy system, to develop new SSRS reports. It allows organizations to take advantage of the strength of stored procedures in maintenance and performance.

1. Hello There,
This quick demo illustrates how I used a stored procedure
with multiple selected parameter values within a SSRS
Report. This technique can be used in the situation where
developers want to utilize stored procedures, either by
creating from scratch or from existing legacy system, to
develop new SSRS reports. It allows organizations to take
advantage of the strength of stored procedures in
maintenance and performance. I can also present a live
demo, if requested.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Hong-Bing Li

2. Multiple Values are Selected within a Parameter

3. Report Run with the Multiple Values Selected Parameter

4. From this slide on, the demo will show How To‟s - the following is the
screenshot of a SSRS report which utilizes a Stored Procedure and a
Parameter with Multiple Values Selected.

5. How the Parameter Properties are Set

6. The top form shows how the properties are set for dataset ‘dsProductResults’: query type is ‘Stored
Procedure’ and name is ‘GetProducts’. The bottom form shows that ‘GetProducts’ is being tested in the
query designer to ensure it works for the SSRS report.

7. The following slide shows how the “GetProducts” stored procedure is run on the SQL Server side.
It needs to be used in conjunction with a UDF function „CSVToTable‟ which is created to parse
SSRS parameter‟s multiple selected values from a CSV string into Integer data types.

8. ---The End---
