Either use a User Defined Table

Or you can use CSV by defining your own CSV function as per This Post.

I'd probably recommend the second method, as your stored proc is already written in the correct format and you'll find it handy later on if you need to do this down the road.

USE THIS  I have had this exact issue for almost 2 weeks  extremely frustrating but I FINALLY found this site and it was a clear walk-through of what to do   http   blog summitcloud com 2010 01 multivalue-parameters-with-stored-procedures-in-ssrs-sql   I hope this helps people because it was exactly what I was looking for

I spent time finding a proper way  This may be useful for others   Create a UDF and refer in the query -  http   www geekzilla co uk view5C09B52C-4600-4B66-9DD7-DCE840D64CBD htm

I think  below procedure help you to what you are looking for    CREATE PROCEDURE  dbo   FindEmployeeRecord           EmployeeID nvarchar Max      AS     BEGIN     DECLARE  sqLQuery VARCHAR MAX      Declare  AnswersTempTable Table                 EmpId int                   EmployeeName nvarchar  250                  EmployeeAddress nvarchar  250             PostalCode nvarchar  50           TelephoneNo nvarchar  50           Email nvarchar  250           status nvarchar  50             Sex nvarchar  50              Set  sqlQuery        select e EmpId e EmployeeName e Email e Sex ed EmployeeAddress ed PostalCode ed TelephoneNo ed status     from Employee e     join EmployeeDetail ed on e Empid   ed iEmpID     where Convert nvarchar Max  e EmpId  in     EmployeeId        order by EmpId      Insert into  AnswersTempTable     exec   sqlQuery      select   from  AnswersTempTable     END

This can not be done easily  There s no way to make an NVARCHAR parameter take  more than one value   What I ve done before is - as you do already - make the parameter value like a list with comma-separated values  Then  split this string up into its parts in the stored procedure   Splitting up can be done using string functions  Add every part to a temporary table  Pseudo-code for this could be   CREATE TABLE  TempTable  ID INT  WHILE LEN  PortfolioID   gt  0 BEGIN     IF NOT  lt  PortfolioID contains Comma gt      BEGIN         INSERT INTO  TempTable VALUES CAST  PortfolioID as INT          SET  PortfolioID          END ELSE     BEGIN          INSERT INTO  Temptable VALUES CAST  lt Part until next comma gt  AS INT           SET  PortfolioID    lt Everything after the next comma gt      END END   Then  change your condition to  WHERE PortfolioId IN  SELECT ID FROM  TempTable    EDIT You may be interested in the documentation for multi value parameters in SSRS  which states      You can define a multivalue parameter for any report parameter that   you create  However  if you want to pass multiple parameter values   back to a data source by using the query  the following requirements   must be satisfied       The data source must be SQL Server  Oracle  Analysis Services  SAP BI   NetWeaver  or Hyperion Essbase       The data source cannot be a stored procedure  Reporting Services does   not support passing a multivalue parameter array to a stored   procedure       The query must use an IN clause to specify the parameter    This I found here
