REPORTS 101 300x225 Cascading Parameters for Reports in Dynamics 365

Oftentimes when a report is pulled in Microsoft Dynamics 365, there will be certain search criteria. When based on the 1st value selection, the 2nd option list should populate in the report parameters. In order to get those precise values, you need to use cascading parameters for reports in Dynamics 365. In today’s blog, we will show you how to use dependent parameters to pull these reports. Let’ get started!

Prerequisite: Create a report in Visual Studio BIDS (sample.rdl), in the example the report to display the orders for given year and given month. The sample report should show Months, only when Year is selected.

When to use: Dependent Parameters should be enabled after selecting the first parameter.

In our example today, we want to enable the Year and Month parameters.
