dynamic Sorting in SSRS

Prajith K P

Hi,

I needed a way to sort dynamically in a Reporting Services report by selecting a Column Name dynamically from a dropdown list.

Thanks

Use a query type of text and do it this way:

= " SELECT <your query> ORDER BY " & @YourParam

... or use a query type of sproc and pass the param to the sproc...

No

There is solution for ur problem.What you have to do is, create a parameter and provide values for it.

These values must be the column names of report.

Then use

=Fields(Parameters!.Value).Value

expression in Interactive sort tab.Here(Parameters!.Value) becomes ur selected parameter i,e field name.

then finally it becomes , =Fields!.xxxx.Value

Just u try this, u wil get.

Also u go through this article, search in google

Hi,

Thanks for your kind attention. I tried your method its working fine. But i have done it in different way. What i ahve done is passing a parameter to the query and inside the order by clause i have used as follows

ORDER BY

CASE WHEN @OrderBy = 'ColumnName' THEN TableName.ColumnName

WHEN @OrderBy = 'ColumnName' THEN TableName.ColumnName

END

Yes -- this is the same as passing it to the sproc <s>.

FWIW you can do it with the interactive sort as your other response indicates as well -- the only thing you have to realize is that the result may not be any different. IOW, I believe the query is re-run in both cases, whether the user presses the "refresh report" button or uses the interactive sort feature. But I have not tested this.

Does anybody reading know for sure
