Sharing Parameters with Multiple SSRS Reports

Question

I am trying to share a set of parameters with several reports.

Can this be done?

I need to create a set of parameters for each individual report. This duplicates the same data and makes it difficult to maintain.

I am using SSRS 2008 R2.

Any help or guidance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks (^ _ ^)

Answer 1

no, this is not possible because the parameters are directly related to reports, such as datasets. On SSRS 2008 R2 , there are shared data sets , just like you have shared data sources . Maybe with them, you could try to do something like this (I don’t know, just guess)

Answer 2

You tried to write parameters to a user table and use this as a data source or something like that. You can do more than just “select” from a dataset.
