Report Builder Cascading Parameter Not Defaulting Properly

gfross — Tue, 03 Jan 2023 21:02:50 GMT

I have a report using cascading parameters. When I first load the report, select a Region in my Region parameter, the Company parameter populates properly with all the Companies in that Region. However, when I change the Region parameter to a difference Region, the Company parameter doesn't change. I need this parameter to default to all the Companies in the other Region I selected. After some research, I discovered that Microsoft pitches this as a "Feature" and not a "Bug", even though I have set my parameters to 'Always Refresh'. I'm using a stored procedure to generate the Company dataset and supplying it with the Region parameter to generate the new results.

I found posts where it's instructed to append the Value of my Company parameter with a value that changes every time the dataset is refreshed. Supposedly, this forces the dataset to refresh (which it does) and in turn forces the parameter to update it's default values (which it doesn't). Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

Hi gfross ,

As you mentioned above，

“After some research, I discovered that Microsoft pitches this as a "Feature" and not a "Bug", even though I have set my parameters to 'Always Refresh'. ”

If you would like to suggest feature improvements, you may vote the idea and comment here to improve this feature. It is a place for customers provide feedback about Microsoft Office products . What’s more, if a feedback is high voted there by other customers, it will be promising that Microsoft Product Team will take it into consideration when designing the next version in the future.
