Howtofix:The number of defined parameter is not equal to the number of cell definition in the param

Hi guys,
 
When creating new SSRS, initially there is one data set, then I'm added 1 new data set and now getting this error /The number of defined parameters is not equal to the number of cell definitions in the parameter panel/
 
This new data set has 1 parameter, I only suspect because when add new data set, first it was named Dataset1, then I renamed it, while in Parameters node that new addition already created with named Dataset1. So in Parameters node, I renamed as well with the format following what other parameters named format which I assumed it is /<dataset name>_<parameter>/
 
But the error still persist. I found few blogs mentioned, I should manually fixed this by open the XML file of it. However I cannot find any suspicious thing inside XML. (Also maybe because my limited knowledge about this)
Most importantly, is there any better way of fixing this ? rather than going to open XML outside Visual studio ? I feel this way is dangerous and not an appropriate way of fixing thing.
 
Anyone can advice ?

    Hi Teevo,

    Can you please try and click restore on each dataset.
    ​​​​​​​
    If it doesn't work, can you please take a screenshot of the parameter node for each dataset.

    Thanks,

    Hi Teevo,

    If you are sure the xml doesn't contain anything wrong. What you can do is:
    1. create a new design (not duplicate)
    2. copy the content of the old design and paste it inside the new one (make sure u don't miss anything)
    3. delete the old design
    4. Rename new design with the old design name
    5. deploy and test
     
    Thanks,
    Layan Jweihan

    Hi Layan,
     
    It's working!
     
    Never thought the problem is in the design instead. So I guess it is false warning from Visual Studio ? since the warning is about parameters, and actually the design also we just create new but paste everything with no changes.
     
    Anyway, thanks, the issue solved with your guidance.

    Hi Teevo,

    can you report this to the dynamics community by following those steps:

    You need to get the network trace .har file and send it by following those steps:
    1. Navigate to the forum thread page where the issue is encountered.
    2. Scroll to the checkbox that needs to be recorded.
    3. Right-click or press F12 to inspect and open the developer window to its maximum size.
    4. Click on the "Network" tab within the developer window.
    5. In the dropdown menu next to 'invert,' select 'XHR and Fetch.'
    6. Next to the red circle on the left side, click the black circle with a line through it to clear the log file.
    7. Click the 'does this answer your question' checkbox; the network calls will populate in the tool.
    8. Click the down arrow in the middle of the browser dev tool to download the .har file.
    9. Attach the downloaded .har file to the ADO ticket or send it via email, indicating the user.
