Date parameter not getting refresh after updating previous parameter
Hello
i m selecting Parameter select the Pay Period date shows just fine
if i change the paramter it just not working and updating dates
any thoughts
Hello RussellBode,
The Test parameter only works when visible because SSRS only auto-refreshes dependent parameters (From/To) when a visible parent changes. Hidden/internal parameters break the cascade. Remove the Test parameter, fix the "Date" dataset to return real dates (PlannedPayPeriodDateStart AS StartDate, PlannedPayPeriodDateFinish AS EndDate), set correct Value fields, enable Always refresh in Advanced tab for From/To, and order parameters correctly Pay Period → From → To. This will auto-update dates instantly on Pay Period change. Try and confirm.
Thank you.

Enable auto-refresh or “refresh on change” for dependent date fields.
Clear any cached prompt values.
Ensure the date fields are properly linked to the selected parameter.
If needed, add a manual refresh or apply button to trigger updates.Hello Shahid12523
i have this steup
1. user select the pay run Schedule
2. then Pay periods
3. based on it it should update from and to date
Pay Period has the drop down by using avaliable values
date come from dates start and finish too in default values
Dates data set get fresh after every update of pay period
not sure where its getting wrong
Hi RussellBode,
Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft fabric community forum.Thanks to the update and those screenshots, your cascade is well-structured, and the dataset refresh on Pay Period changes is a smart touch. The stale dates often come from defaults not tightly matching the selected Pay Period or carrying over from prior runs.
Targeted Steps:
- In Parameter Properties > Default Values > Edit the "Dates" dataset query. Add an explicit filter to match only the chosen Pay Period. This ensures it pulls the exact StartDate/EndDate for your selection, not a generic first row.
- For Pay Period param > Advanced tab: Check "Always refresh." For From/To: Check "Refresh fields" and "Refresh dependent datasets when value changes." This forces a clean requery on upstream changes and blanks stale values.
- In the "Dates" query, wrap StartDate/EndDate outputs in a standard format (like yyyy-MM-dd) to prevent parsing flips.
- Add a hidden textbox showing current param values. Preview changes to spot if/when they update.
Republish and This should sync dates dynamically. If I misunderstand your needs or you still have problems on it, please feel free to let us know.

Hello RussellBode,
To manually refresh a report in Report Builder, click the Run button to execute the report, you'll see a Refresh button in the toolbar click it to update the data with the latest information.

Hi
Enable automatic refresh for the dependent parameter:
Open the Pay Period Date parameter properties.
Under Available Values → Get values from a query, check:
“Refresh automatically when the preceding parameter changes”
Ensure its dataset uses the preceding parameter as input.
If this helps, please mark as Accepted Solution and drop a "Kudos"Hello I dont want the avaliable value should be there for date since i cant change the date then its remains uneditable if we have avalible rather than default
could you also please specify where i have “Refresh automatically when the preceding parameter changes”?
