I am trying to create a dashboard with GridView as the component. In Gridview am using Dataadapter (SQL Query). I want to pass parameter to the GridView when displaying the data in the dashboard.

Can someone help me on this.

 

Thanks & Regards,

Madesh K

Hi Christian, i have tried the same in GridView but its not working. Is there any KB article for this to go-through.


Sorry I thought, the gridview is the triggering object, but you are looking for a way to change the query using a parameter.

If you have a sql data adapter, you can use the parameters in the sql script like here:

I hope, this is what you are looking for?

In the sample, Onestream replaces

|!WFProfileCriteria_TCR!|

with the parameter's value:

= 'Houston.Register'

and executes the query with this where statement:

... WHERE XFW_TCR_Register.WFProfileName = 'Houston.Register'  ...

There is a Bound Parameter option in the sql table editor:

and an Column name for bound parameter option to define the column of the  table, that will populate the parameter:

You only can populate the parameter with one column only.

Thanks Christian. 
Hope this option is available when using SQL table editor. Is there any option available in GridView?

    It is better to use a Dashboard data set rule when trying to pass parameters into a SQL query. What Christian suggested will work. However, if the parameter is not resolved, this can create errors. Where in which the rule, you can check whether the parameter containssubvars and trigger the SQL or return an empty datatable.
