Hi all,
I'm building a Paginated report in report builder (not desktop) which has 2 Account fields, AccountName and AccountParent.
I have a parameter related to each and want people to be able to search on either. So the query would look like: [AccountName] = parameter1.value OR [AccountParent] = parameter2.value.
Could anyone help with the syntax here, I've been scratching my head for a few hours.
Hi, @daveedd
To create paged reports in Report Builder to filter data based on or AccountName, AccountParent You can define parameters and then build queries to use those parameters with OR conditions.
Step 1: Define the parameters
Open your report in the Report Builder. In the Report Data pane, right-click Parameters and select Add Parameter twice to create two parameters:
Parameter 1: For AccountName
Parameter 2: For AccountParent
Configuration parameters:
Parameter 1:
Name: AccountName
Data type: text
Hint: Enter the account name
Parameter 2:
Name: AccountParent
Data type: text
Hint: Enter the parent account
In the Report Data pane, right-click the dataset and select Dataset Properties.
In the Query section, modify the SQL query to use parameters with OR conditions. The following is an example:
SELECT *
FROM YourTableName
WHERE (@AccountName IS NULL OR AccountName = @AccountName)
OR (@AccountParent IS NULL OR AccountParent = @AccountParent)
This query uses the parameters @AccountName and @AccountParent. it checks if each parameter is NULL (i.e., not specified by the user) and includes the condition if it is.
Go to the Parameters tab in the Dataset Properties window and make sure that the parameters correctly map @AccountName to @AccountParent to the report parameters.

Thanks for the response. I have the parameters set up, but still struggling with the query. I'm connecting to a Power BI semantic model so having to use DAX rather than SQL
