Hi
I am building a report using a Stored Procedure as the dataset.
In the Stored Procedure there are a number of parameters, but only one is mandatory, as the others all have default values should a value not be provided. So if you were to run the SP in SSMS then you would only need to provide one value (minimum) to EXEC the SP.
Am I right in saying that even though a number of the parameters do not necessarily need an input, I still need to pass in a value from the SSRS report? As I have tried to delete some of the Report parameters but the report then fails to run.
Also, one of the optional SP parameters requires a date to be in the format 'yyyyMMdd' but I get the feeling that the date picker in SSRS does not provide datetime values in this format. Please could someone advise on how to remedy this.
I am relatively new to SSRS so appreciate any advice or logic that wil help me understand how reports send and receive data from the data source.
