Creating an SSRS parameterized report



Step 1: Modify the query in the dataset, to make PostalCode as a parameter 


Step 2: Once you click OK, go to the parameters folder in  "Report Data" - you will find that @postalcode automatically appears in the "Parameters" Fields.

Step 3: Lets explore more about the parameter. Double click on @postalcode.
This is place, where you configure, how your parameter should behave - should it allow blank values or null values etc.
You can configure the visibility, data-types, default values etc.
Lets leave it as it is for now.


Step 4: Click preview, and enter in a postal code (91370 for example)



Note: Observe that the parameter appears as a text box here.
If you want pre-configured values (in a dropdown), double click on the parameter in "ReportData" --> Parameters (here, @postalcode) and click "Available Values"/"Default value" and click "Get values from a query". You can choose your dataset and corresponding column. Create multiple datasets to suffice your parameter value requirements.
