Changing Cube Dimension Filter Via Reporting Services
Apr 27, 2007
Hi all
sorry im new with using Reporting Services and even more inexperienced with using cubes.
My situation is as follows. I perform dynamic grouping (user selects the view via a parameter) Depending on the view selected, I need to change the dimension filter in the dataset.. Is this possible ?
I have a cube that has a Dimension set up with several values some of which are bools. While Browsing in Excel or SSMS, two new values, when used as a filter shows (All) (Blank) and (True) for selections instead of (All) (True) and (False).Â
I have an Analysis Services Cube that I would like to report on. However, the Time Dimension currently only has four columns, Day of Month, Month(name) , Year, and DateKey (DateTime representation at midnight for every day). Thus when I drag the month attribute onto the report, it is sorted April - August - December - etc. instead of Jan - Feb - Mar. How do I fix this? I remember reading something in the MSDN Library about it but I can't find it again now.
When i add a dimension to the cube dimension without any relation in my dimension usage to any measure group my units are going down.However when i remove the dimension from the cube am getting the correct values.
I think I've seen a similar post on a blog or on the forums - but it seems like this should be possible -
I have an MDX query - that works fine in SQL Enterprise Manager, and has my dimension members on columns, and my measures on the rows. When I try the same query in Reporting Services, I get the error:
"The query cannot be prepared: The query must have at least one axis. The first axis of the query should not have multiple hierarchies, nor should it reference any dimension other than the Measures dimension.. Parameter name: mdx (MDXQueryGenerator)"
Although it works when you pivot the view, I really need my data presented with the members on the columns and the measures on the rows. Another forum post mentioned using the SQL 9.0 driver, but I can't see this listed anywhere (the only one I see is the .NET framework Data Provider for Microsoft Analysis Services).
Here's what my query looks like -
SELECT { [Time].[Month].&[2006-09-01T00:00:00] , [Time].[Month].&[2006-10-01T00:00:00], [Time].[Month].&[2006-11-01T00:00:00], [Time].[Month].&[2006-12-01T00:00:00] } on COLUMNS, { [Measures].[Unique Users], [Measures].[UU Pct 1], [Measures].[UU Pct 2], } ON ROWS FROM [Cube]
I am facing sever Refresh issue in PPS Reports. I have Two Dashboard
Dashboard_One and Dashboard_Two
I have few Filters on both the Dashboard .
In Dashboard_One I have 2 Filters
1)Year filter where Year 2012 is my Default value 2)City Filter where "CityOne" is Default Filter Value
If I select Year"2010" in Period Filter and "CityTwo" In City Filter.I see Related reports . Now I navigate to Dashboard_Two to See Other Reports where I have few Other Filter Like "Country" where I select "CountryThree" . When I navigate Back to Dashboard_one I do not see Dashboard with Default value given to them
I still see Filter value Year=2010 and CountryFilter="CountryTwo" in Dashboard Dashboard_One .. where as I should have seen it based on the Default value given to the Filter.. How should I resolve this refresh issue which I am facing in PPS Dashboard. I do not see Default value in the Filter ,It always give the filter value which was selected later when Navigated back.
I `m using Reporting Services from web. I mean that I have created some reports in report builder and put them in web. Other users can access and view this reports and everything works good. My question: Can other user apply some filter on the report if user has no any Reporting Services ???
For example:
If I created a report, wich contains 2 fields (ClientName and BirthDayDate), and I select all clients with birthdays from 1900 to 2007. But what if user wants to filter this clients and choose those, who hase birthdays from 1998 to 2001 for instance.... Is there a posibility like this in Reporting Services ???
I'm trying to create report with datasource as a cube. I'm able to connect to datasource to pull data with a single parameter. But, I'm unable to succeed in the following scenario: I have a dimension "Period" as Paremeter. The Period dimension has a hierarchy as year- quarter- month. So, I would like to create a drilldown parameter for period as year - quarter - month.
I'm trying to create a RS report that will use an AS2005 cube as a datasource. I did try to use the query wizard from reporting services to build the mdx statement but I'm having a hard time with it... How could I use the following MDX statement in a reporting services report?? Do you have to use the query builder?
Hello All,I've got a stored proc that I can't change that creates a quite largedataset and takes in 5 parameters. I need to be able to have each ofthe parameters selectable from a drop down box so that as you gothrough the list of parameters you restrict the results. I have itable to load the parameters but I end up with this:Location-LONDONLONDONLONDONNEW YORKNEW YORKNEW YORKNEW YORKTORONTOTORONTO....Any idea how i can filter the list of locations by distinct? fromwithin SQL Reporting Services. I tried a temp tbl in query analyserand that works but SQL reporting services doesn't like it.
I need to change the default member of my Time dimension according to a parameter received by a report in Reporting Services. When I code the MDX query I can't seem to be able to begin my statement with an ALTER CUBE to set the default dimension. It seems I can only do a SELECT..FROM..WHERE query.
Does anyone know how to set the default member of a dimension in a report ??
Hello Experts, I have been playing around with RS 2005 and like it so far. I am in the process of replcating some excel reports in RS. I was wondering if there is any way to replicate the Auto Filter Functionality of Excels sheets where column is a dropdown with disticnt values of that specific column and also has Top 10 and Custom filters attached to it. So when selected from dropdown the report filters for these records. I understand we can use parameters for this kinda report but my client has 15 columns in the report and it will be cool to give them auto filter functionality as in Excel as they are used to it.
The census is from an outside group and what I do is massage it for our internal databases and reports to our care managers.
The report starts out by returning only those entries that were received in the last report from the outside vendor and I filter each of the parameters by using a WITH statement and an INNER JOIN, as follows;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate] FROM Census_Rpt_Final )
[Code] ...
The default is for all parameters to start out with all possible values for the current load date. But, I need to be able to filter the available - and default - values for each parameter based upon the selection of the other parameters.
So, the Load Date is built in by use of the CTE that is a part of all the parameters. But, I need the report to allow the end user to select from each of the others, but limiting what is avaliable for selection based upon the settings of the other parameters.
For example, the second parameter is the Report Type. It can be either "Hospital," or "SNF." But, not all Clinics, Care Managers or PCPs may have an entry in both types. So, if the user selects, say, "Hospital," all the parameters would alter their available and default values such that they only include options where the census shows they are a "Hospital" entry.But, not all Clinics in the most recent census may have both report types. So, if the end user selects a particular clinic, it would also recalculate the available and default values for Report Type, as well as those beneath it on the list. And, likewise for the remainder of the parameters.
My initial thought was to add WHERE statements to the datasets controlling each parameter, but SSRS keeps asking me to define the parameters when I click out of the dataset's properties. Now, I know that SSRS is a single pass process - and, I'll cross the bridge on adjusting parameters defined earlier in the list when I come to it - but I thought that parameters lower in the list would update, since they'd have their values defined.For instance, the Clinic parameter is after Report Type, so the code I used to set up Clinic was;
WITH Date_of_Most_Recent_Census AS ( SELECT MAX(Load_Date) AS [CurDate] FROM Census_Rpt_Final ) SELECT DISTINCT
[code]....
But, this asks me to define @ReportType, even though it precedes Clinic on the parameter list.
i wand to filter the report based on the  country  as Canada and france  by Using Filter but Not with Parameter..Similarly How to use Not In  Operator also.
I'm using a SSIS cube as source for reporting services. In my DataSet I have 3 parameters: Year, ProductGroup, Product. By default all parameters are cascading when defined on the DataSet. This is great for ProductGroup -> Product, but I don't want it for Year -> ProductGroup (I want to avoid the roundtrip). I removed the link in the generated MDX, I removed the parameters on the DataSet, but when I run the report, ProductGroup is still grayed out until I choose a year.
I am new to report builder. I have created a report with a calculated cell that returns a true or false value based on a true or false value from another column (from a dataset field). I want to create a filter for the calculated field (which is a ReportItem), that will only show cells that are True.
I have tried several ways to add this filter, but each time, I get an error message saying that filter or sorting cannot be created for ReportItems.
I have a power view report with some filters. I want some of the Filters to be just Single Value Select Filters like dropdowns instead of Multi-Select ,as multiple selected values can show garbage data. Also it is very inconvenient for the end user to keep unchecking/clearing the previously selected value and then select the appropriate value. Is there a workaround or is it a limitation that has yet to be addressed???Â
Search option in the filter of SSRS, like in the filter let say for the category parameter we have 100 values , instead of scrolling down for the required option. can we have an option for search in the filter so that when we type certain value it will come up for example in the Google website, when we type the value in the search bar in the drop down we will get the option..same as that...........can we do in the ssrs.
If yes how can we achieve? Do we need to write any .net code?
I created a tabular model, and used it as a source for the power view. Is there any possibility to set a dynamic default value for the filter. My model has a field named 'CalendarMonth', by default - filter should take current month. I would like to know is there any possibility with out changing the data in the source.
I tried enclosing the query in Abs( ), which I have done in the past, although in the past I wasn't using Lookup functions so I don't know if that is the reason it won't work.
I use xml to create a checkbox control on a filter page. The reports runs when it is checked. However, when the checkbox is unchecked it complains about the parameter missing. Any solutiion?
I have an SSRS report that gets its data from an SSAS cube, and it essentially displays a list of students and absences. Everything works fine.
But the users only want to see the top N students with the highest absences. For example, today they want to see the top 100, but during summer vacation, they only want to see the top 5.
Is there a way to add this parameter to the SSRS report? So if I select "5" from the dropdown parameter, it will show the top 5 absences.
The query that I use to populate the report is something simple:
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Absences] } ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Date].[Date Key].[Date Key].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Student].[Lte Cell Key].[Lte Cell Key].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@DimDateDateKey, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [Daily Cube]) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
Is it possible to have different chart (having their dataset from same shared datasets) like six on one report, then secondly can they all respond to same parameter filter.
When creating a report using reporting Services with a cube as a datasource, visual studio 2005 hangs. I have applied SP1 to visual studio.net 2005 .
This is the query generated by query designer in reporting services. When I try to drag and drop another dimension to slice it by , visual studio hangs.
The fact table has just 10,000 records. Are the number of dimensions used to slice the cube too many? How do I optimize this query?
SELECT NON EMPTY { [Measures].[Avg MT Rate - Speech], [Measures].[Change in Avg MT Rate], [Measures].[Edited Lines Per 1000], [Measures].[Speech Utilization], [Measures].[Time Saved %], [Measures].[Speech Edited for Rev 1], [Measures].[Change in Account Productivity], [Measures].[Hours Saved], [Measures].[Lines Per 1000], [Measures].[Average MT Rate - Total Production], [Measures].[Typed Lines], [Measures].[Productivity Time in hours - Edited Docs],[Measures].[Productivity Time in Hours - Typed Docs],[Measures].[Productivity Time in Hours]} ON COLUMNS, NON EMPTY { ([Dim Customer].[Customer Name].[Customer Name].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Customer].[Dictator Site Name].[Dictator Site Name].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Date].[The Month].[The Month].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim Date].[The Year].[The Year].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim MT].[Creator Last Name].[Creator Last Name].ALLMEMBERS * [Dim MT].[Creator First Name].[Creator First Name].ALLMEMBERS ) } DIMENSION PROPERTIES MEMBER_CAPTION, MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromDimDateTheYear, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToDimDateTheYear, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOMEMBER(@FromDimDateTheMonth, CONSTRAINED) : STRTOMEMBER(@ToDimDateTheMonth, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [ETL DW])) CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FORMATTED_VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, FONT_NAME, FONT_SIZE, FONT_FLAGS
I have a problem with report built in SSRS and deployed with Dashboard Designer to Sharepoint. There are few filters connected to report, 2 of them are multivalue. Regardless of data returned, when I select too many items in filter, the report is getting super small. It doesn't matter what you select, size changes when you select exact number of items or more. I replaced report with single line (filters where still conected) - result was the same.  Small amount of items selected:
More items selected:
Size of the raport in Dashboard Designer is set to "Percentage of dashboard page", when I selected autosize, result was the same.
