SSRS Interview Questions - What should be the data type for Radio Button Parameter Type in SSRS Report

To create Radio Button Parameter in SSRS Report, The data type should be set to boolean for Parameter.

After writing the query for your report by using bit type column, you have to go to Parameter properties and then set the Parameter data type to boolean to show Radio Buttons, Otherwise you will see a text box for parameter value.

Query for report with Single Value parameter, remember IsActive is Bit type Column in table.

SELECT *
FROM dbo.TotalSale
WHERE IsActive = @Param_IsActive

Text Box will show up as we have not set the Parameter Data Type to Boolean

Let's go ahead and change the Data type of Param_IsActive Parameter to Boolean

Run the report and you will see now you have Radio Button Parameter.

SSRS Interview Questions and Answers - What are range parameters in SSRS Report

Range parameters are used to choose a range of values. Let's say we would like to see data between two dates. We can create two parameters StartDate and EndDate.

The query to create date range parameters is shown below

SELECT FName
    ,LName
    ,SaleAmt
FROM dbo.TotalSale
WHERE SaleDate BETWEEN @StartDate
        AND @EndDate

We often use Range Parameters and configure them with default values to show records e.g

Get records from start of the year to date
Get records from start of month to date
get all records for current quarter etc.

SSRS Interview Questions and Answers - What are Cascading parameters in SSRS report?

Cascading Parameters are set of parameters in which values of one Parameters depends on the value choose in another parameters.

It is always good idea to explain your answer with examples in interview. Let's consider below example.
We have a single value parameter call Region and then on selection of Region Parameter value, we would like to display Countries related to that region in Country Parameter.

The Region Parameter, you can provide static values or you can get the values from query. If more regions can be added or removed, it is good idea to get values for Parameter by using query. Let's say our table name is dbo.TotalSale which has Region, Country and other columns.

Main Query for Report

SELECT FName
    ,LName
    ,SaleAmt
    ,Region
    ,Country
FROM dbo.TotalSale
WHERE Region = @Param_Region
    AND Country IN (@Param_Country)

Query for @Param_Region Parameter ( Single Value Parameter)

SELECT DISTINCT Region
FROM dbo.TotalSale

Query for @Param_Country ( Multi Value parameter). Notice that we have used @Param_Region Parameter to get only countries related to that Region.

SELECT DISTINCT Country
FROM dbo.TotalSale
WHERE Region = @Param_Region

SSRS Interview Question - You have created a report, the report has month name as parameter, What is best way to provide values for month name parameter?

As we have fixed set of month names and they don't change. we can add the month names as static values in report for Month Name Parameter.

If the values of parameter does change often, it is good idea to insert them in a table and use Query to extract them for Parameter in report. By doing that we don't have to make changes in report every time if we have to add or remove value. We can simply insert or delete value/s in table those will be extracted by query.

You can use below script to create table for month Names.

Create Table dbo.rpt_MonthName ( MonthName VARCHAR(50))
go
insert into dbo.rpt_MonthName values
('January'),('February'),('March'),('April'),
('May'),('June'),('July'),('August'),
('September'),('October'),('November'),
('December')

Select * from dbo.rpt_MonthName

SSRS Interview Questions - Is there a way to provide default value/s to your parameter in SSRS Report?

Parameters are used to filter data in report. Default value/s can be configured for Parameter/s in SSRS report. By configuring default values in report, the report will run with those parameter values. The viewer/user can choose different values for parameter/s after first execution of report.

To set the default value/s for parameter
Right click on Parameter and choose Parameter Properties
Then click on Default Values Tab
For static Values : You can click on Specify Values radio button and then Add the values as you like ( I would not like to use this, as to add/delete any value , we always have to open report for change and redeploy after saving changes)
The Default Values can also be get from Query. You can use Get Values from query ( I prefer this option, as we can add/remove values in table anytime and we don't have to open report to make change and redeploy.)

Can we provide Default Values to Parameter or Parameters in SSRS Report - SQL Server Reporting Services(SSRS) Interview Question sand Answers

SSRS Interview Question and Answers - How to Create Calendar Parameter in SSRS Report

Parameter/s are used to filter report data. We often has column/s in table which are date or datetime type. If we would like to use those column/s in our SSRS Report, we can create the parameter and have the Calendar icon to choose date.

Let's say we have a column in a table such as CreatedOn of Date type, we can write our query as below

SELECT Col1Name
 ,Col2Name
FROM dbo.MyTable
WHERE CreatedOn = @Param_CreateDOn

If we have column which is datetime and we would like to use only date part of it to filter our records by using parameter, our TSQL Query will be like below

SELECT Col1Name
 ,Col2Name
FROM dbo.MyTable
WHERE Cast(CreatedOn AS DATE) = @Param_CreateDOn

After using the query in SSRS Report, we will see the Text Box for our parameter. As we want to have the Calendar, we need to change the parameter Data Type.
Right Click on the Parameter, go to properties and change the data type to Date/Time as shown below.

SSRS Interview Questions and Answers - How would you write your TSQL Query or Stored Procedure for Multi Value Parameter Report in SSRS

Parameter/s in reports are used to filter data. Multi Value parameter is one that can accept more than one value.

Let's say if we would like to create report with RegionName Parameter that should be able to accept more than one Region value. Our T-SQL will use IN clause and small parenthesis around Parameter Name.

SELECT Col1Name
 ,Col2Name
 ,Col3Name
FROM dbo.MyTableName
WHERE Region IN (@RegionName)

We can also write a Stored Procedure with Multi Value Parameter. To create multi value parameter, We need IN clause and each value in IN Clause should have (single quotes) around. When SSRS pass multiple values to parameter, it separate them by comma ( ,). We need to replace the comma with single quotes and comma as you can see in highlighted code. After that we can write our Dynamic SQL Query to use the value of Parameter.

Create Procedure dbo.sp_TotalSale
@Region VARCHAR(500)
AS
BEGIN

Declare @var_Region VARCHAR(500)
SET @var_Region=Replace(@Region,',',''',''')
--print @var_Region
Declare @SQL NVARCHAR(MAX)
SET @SQL ='
Select     [SalePersonFName]

           ,[SalePersonLName]

           ,[ProductName]

           ,[ItemsSold]

           ,[SoldPrice]

           ,[SoldDate]

           ,[City]

           ,[State]

           ,[Country]

           ,[Region] into ##Temp

           from dbo.TotalSale

           where Region in ('''+@var_Region+''')'
--Print @SQL
Execute( @SQL )

Select * From ##Temp

drop table ##Temp

 END


Execute dbo.sp_TotalSale 'Asia,Europe'

SSRS Interview Questions and Answers - How would you write TSQL Query or Stored Procedure with Single Value Parameter in SSRS Report

Parameters are used to filter the data in report. Single value parameter is parameter which can accept only one value at a time.

To create your report with single value parameter , in Where clause you will be using "=" sign and Parameter name.

Let's say we want to create RegionName Parameter, we can write query as below

SELECT Col1Name
    ,Col2Name
    ,Col3Name
FROM dbo.TABLE
WHERE Region = @RegionName

Let's say if you would like to create two single value parameters RegionName and CountryName in your report

SELECT Col1Name
    ,Col2Name
    ,Col3Name
FROM dbo.MyTableName
WHERE Region = @RegionName
    AND Country = @CountryName

You can also use the Stored Procedure for your report with Single value parameter/s. The where clause will be using "=" and then Parameter name as shown below. In below Stored Procedure we are only using @Region Parameter. You can create Stored Procedure with Multiple Single Value parameters if required by adding conditions in Where clause as we did in above query for Region and Country.

Create procedure dbo.sp_SalesTotal
@Region VARCHAR(100)
AS
BEGIN 
Select [SalePersonFName]
           ,[SalePersonLName]
           ,[ProductName]
           ,[ItemsSold]
           ,[SoldPrice]
           ,[SoldDate]
           ,[City]
           ,[State]
           ,[Country]
           ,[Region] 
           from dbo.TotalSale
           where Region=@Region
           END

SSRS Interview Questions and Answers - What is Multi value parameter in SSRS Report

Parameter/s in report are used to filter the data. Parameters are really useful to extract only required data as well present the data which is required by the user.

Multi Value parameter in SSRS Report let the user choose multiple values for the Parameter. While creating SSRS Report, we can either provide Static values for our Multi value parameter inside the report or we can use query to extract values from database for our multi value parameter.

Default values can be configured for multi value parameter as well if required, otherwise user can choose values for parameter at run-time.

If a parameter is multi value parameter, you will see a drop down with check boxes. You have the option to Select All or you can choose the values what you like. For value for multi value parameter can be text, integer, date type.

SSRS Interview Questions - What is Single Value parameter in SSRS Report

Parameter/s in reports are used to filter the data. Single Value parameter in SSRS is the parameter which can accept only single value.

You can configure Single Value Parameter with default value or leave for user to choose before view the report data.

The values for Single value parameter can be stored in report ( Static values) or you can use Query to get values from database and user can choose one at run-time.

Single Value parameter value can be provided by using below

A text Box for parameter value where user has to type by himself/herself

Drop Down list and user will choose one value out of them
Radio Button ( User can either choose True or False)
Date-Time ( Calendar Drop down)

In case of linked reports(drill through) cell value can be mapped to single value parameter

SSRS Interview Questions - What type of parameters are available in SSRS Report

Parameters are used to filter the report data. By using the parameter/s users can filter the information they would like to see instead of looking entire data on report.

SQL Server Reporting Services Reports can be configured to run with default parameter values or user can choose the values for parameter/s and then view the report.

For Parameter values, you can use either Static values inside report or you can use Query which can get the parameter values from Database.

SQL Server Reporting Services provided different types of parameters

Single Value Parameter
Multi Value Parameter
DateTime type Parameter ( Calendar type)
Boolean Type Parameter ( Radio Button)
Cascading Type Parameter
