An SSRS report backs an executive dashboard and should let users select multiple product categories at once. When the "Select All" option is chosen, the report still returns data for only one category. You examine the T-SQL stored procedure that feeds the dataset and notice this predicate:
WHERE ProductCategoryID = @CategoryList;
The @CategoryList parameter receives a comma-separated list of the category IDs chosen in the report filter. During the code review step of troubleshooting, which change will MOST likely fix the filter so the report returns data for every selected category?
Rename the stored procedure to comply with the team's naming convention.
Add SET NOCOUNT ON; at the top of the stored procedure to suppress row-count messages.
Rewrite the predicate so it uses an IN clause that accepts all values in @CategoryList instead of the = operator.
Create a non-clustered index on the ProductCategoryID column referenced in the filter.
Because the predicate uses = the query can compare ProductCategoryID to only a single value, so the stored procedure returns the first element in the comma-separated list and ignores the rest. Replacing = with an IN predicate (after splitting or table-valuing the list) allows the filter to evaluate each ID and return rows for all chosen categories, resolving the report-level issue. Adding SET NOCOUNT ON or a non-clustered index may improve performance or suppress extra messages but will not change the filter logic, and renaming the procedure affects only naming standards, not functionality.
