How to make filter/parameters independent in report?

Hello Everyone, I need some help/guidance in below scenario:

I have created a paginated report using SSRS, and i have created 2 parameters in it named Client and Suffix.

When I run the report it ask me to select values in parameter. I want that parameters should be independent, i.e.  if i select values in any one parameter and keep the other one empty, the report will get run. when I'm trying this it says please select a value in other parameter too

Hi @anmolmalviya05 ,

We can define the parameters in Report Builder, allow NULL values for Suffix, and also give them some specific values, I hope these measures will be helpful to you!

Hi @anmolmalviya05 ,

Unfortunately, due to product limitations, the NULL option is mutually exclusive with Multiple, and we can only choose one of them, not both.
