Hi,
I would like to know if is possible to create dynamic reports based on cubes. What i mean is,after creating a cube with a couple of dimensions and measure if is there any way to give the normal users on the report manager or report builder the freedom to choose their own dimensions/measure so they can output the report with the choosen criteria.
Thanks.

I'm a beginner to Report Services, and have tons of questions.
Here's the first one:
if the reports are created based on the condition that the user selects, how can I create the reports with Report Services?
For example,
the user can select the fields that will be shown on the reports, as well as the group fields, the sort fields and restrict fields. So I would not be able to pre-create all possible reports and deploy them to the report server, and I think I should create the reports dynamicly based on what the user select.
Could someone tell me how to do it (create and deploy the reports)?
Thanks a million!

I have a requirement to create dynamic reports for my client.
once i create these reports then the user will choose columns of there choice.
so the columns may belong to multiple tables.
Now the report should get generated with the layout etc. is it possible.
since our project is totally on the webserver(webbased.)
please if you can provide me with any links with dynamic report creation wizards.
and also we only use Stored procedures via database.
which is best is writing the entire queries right behind the layouit or calling the entire logic via Stored procedure. i am a bit confused. this is my first project working on reports itself.
Thank you all for the helpful information.

Hi,
i want to know whether it is possible to develop ADHOC reports using SSRS 2005 and OLAP Cubes. the requirement is the user should be able to select the columns he wants to see in the report.
I think this requires Dynamic RDL generation. It is very urgent. i have to give POC to the client on this. Any help in this regad is appreciated.
Thanks,

Hello,
I am using RS 2005 to design reports.
There's no problem when I connect to an Analysis Services 2005 cube.
But when I try to connect to an AS 2000 cube (Foodmart)...
I have read in this forum that I can use "Microsoft SQL Server Analysis Services" provider (or OLE DB)...
Can someone help me please!!
Thank you
Hi,
Is there any possibility to build one report based on two cubes? please come up with different solutions for this issue.
I hope some of you can point me in the right direction. I am new to all this and
working on a project using Cubes.
The cubes need to be generated in a dynamic fashion as the contents
(that means field) in the fact tables change change every quarter and are
based off of a external application.
The base strucutre stays the same though. So we thought we would export the
XMLA representation of the cube and then munge (word for alter) the data in the
XMLA file and send it someplace to create the new cube on a SQL 2005 server.
This seemed easy enough but I have found no real information on how to
run some piece of code that would create the cube based on this XMLA code.
On another note is there a parsing object for the XMLA so i dont have to right one from
scratch?
Thanks,
Bob
I am trying to select from 2 cubes. in one condition - select .. From CubeX, and in sec Condition Select .. From CubeY.
I tried to put the name of the Cube as parameter:
SELECT ...
FROM @CurrentCube
in ssrs source and i got the message:
------------------------------
Failed to parse the query to detect if it is MDX or DMX. Error: 'Query (148, 6) Parser: The syntax for '@CurrentCube' is incorrect.' (MDXQueryGenerator)
------------------------------
Also tried to get the name of the Cube as Member (I have a property with the name of the cube),and than using the member to the select :
WITH MEMBER [CurrentCube] AS
...[dim name].CURRENTMEMBER.PROPERTIES("Cube")
SELECT ...
FROM [CurrentCube]
It didnt work too.. Is it Possible at all make the Cube-name dynamic?!
Ok I have a query "SELECT ColumnNames FROM tbl1" let's say the values returned are "age,sex,race".
Now I want to be able to create an "update" statement like "UPATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race" dynamically and execute this UPDATE statement. So, if the next select statement returns "age, sex, race, gender" then the script should create "UPDATE tbl2 SET Col2 = age + sex + race + gender" and execute it.
We have scenario where we need to create package for refreshing the cubes. Let me explain it breifly.
We are doing ETL process in different ETL tool (not SSIS) and once the process is done, we are inserting in a table where we have a column like date, Completed C as the status. Once we get this information i.e 'Completed C' status and date, we need to refresh the cube like as follows,
1. Previous day cube need to be refreshed daily once
2. Previous week cube need to be refreshed weekly once.
3. Previous month cube need to be refreshed monthly once.
4. Historical cube need to be refreshed daily once.
We have decided all these above operations needs to be done in SSIS. In this case what are the things to be done while creating a package.
1. What are the control flow items to create it in SSIS?
2. Is there any way to have pooling like every 10 minutes to check whether the table has 'Completed C' status and STOP EXECUTE this package?
3. Is there any way to check the date for Previous day cube, Previous week cube, Previous Month cube and Historical cube etc?
Thanks in advance,

I have a big problem to solve:
I use MsSqlServer 2000, Analysis service. I have cubes and virtual cubes. I have a dimension of consult, they have a hierarchy that change every month. for example: In june the consult "John" is in D11, in September he is on D14,...
Hierarchie: D10 -> D11, D12, D13 - > C1, C2..
For this reason when i want analysis The consult John in a year(12 months) my result is wrong. With this changes in the hierarchie my analysis become wrong!
I thought in the end of every month store the cube in a local cube, like a picture of every consult, with his sales e others measures. With this i can analysis the consult in a specific month rightly, but i need the anlysis in a year. And in a year i would have 12 local cubes, then i could acess them and do a right analysis. How could i access 12 local cubes? Can i create a virtual cube with this 12 local cubes? Is there another solution for this problem?
Thanks,

Is there a way to pass parameters into the Report Builder so that the available fields of an entity can vary depending on a parameter value (for instance, a group or user id)?
We have a situation where each group of users can have a variable set of custom properties to report on and we'd like to let them access these custom properties through the Report Builder. Any suggestions on how to go about it?
Thanks.

Hello.
I wanted to know a way to create dynamic reports using reporting / analysis services in SQL Server 2005 / SSIS tool.

I can create static report with Report Server, but wanted if anyone can help me create a report that is dynamic and regenerates with new data as it comes in.
Thanks so much!
I have a stored procedure that returns two tables which I use in VB .NET to populate a DataSet.
Is it possible to use the same stored procedure to act as the datasource for a report and subreport in reporting services?
The only way I have found so far would be to either run the stored proc twice (one for each report) or dump the data into temporary tables.
Hi,
I have bunch of reports that take same set of parameters. I am trying parametrize the report type so that depending on the report type selected, body should display that report when user hits "View report" button. How can I do this? Pardon me if there is an obvious solution as I am pretty new to the joys of MS Reporting Services.
Thanks a bunch.
I'm new to developing reports using 2005 SQL Reporting Services. Is it possible to develop reports based on more than one database, (generally MS SQL)? I need to set up a dataset that includes tables from several different databases linked together so that information can be viewed together in one report.
thanks
Anybody?
Hi all,
1) How can i create RSBuild.config file to deploy reports which are created out of Analysis Services cube? What should be the datasource tags for SSAS extension. I've tried with OLEDB-MD and it doesnt work.
2) Few reports has two datasources. How can i mark multiple datasources in the config file for one report?
3) The folder names are created in lower case font by default. Is this a known behaviour of RsBuild or we can do some work around to get this done. For instance, folder name "Employee Reports" is coming as "employeereports"
This is bit urgent, your respose would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Hey guys, I need a little help for my group project(Using ASP.NET 2 connected to SQL Server 2005). Here's the scenario:
Our system is basically a sort of login/logout system, so we have a table that has (Name, Date, Subject, TimeIn, TimeOut).
1. User registers on website, so information like e-mail is recorded into the database (and the user in the website is "linked/checked" to his data in the SQL Server for verification).
2. Users can choose to subscribe to a weekly report e-mail(maybe using a simple "IsSubscribed" boolean value in the database).
3. Every week, our system scans the database for those users who subscribed, then send different e-mail reports depending on the particular user (a compiled weekly report for Mon-Fri).
Is there such a feature in Database Mail? If not, how do I execute these types queries and just set them as a Scheduled Task?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi,We have XML files (and its XSD) that are dump of our tree-like datastructure in memory. These XML files may potentially have unlimitedlevels of nesting because some elements can contain themselves(recursively defined).We want to build some reports using some third party reporting tool(Crystal Report, for example).The first question is - is there any way for Crystal Reports toprocess such complicated (some elements have recursive definitions)XML file directly? If not, anyone knows any other reporting tool thatcan do that job?The second question is - if we have to develop a small applicationthat converts the XML to dataset, anyone who has done similar thingbefore can give us some recommendations as to which approach is theeasiest to take (Java, .NET, etc.)? I'd appreciate it if someone canpoint me to some resources to get me started.Another approach is to convert the hierarchical XML into relationaltable set and store the data into relational database. In that case,the reporting tool can simply read from the database. I'd appreciateit if someone can let me know if there is any softeware/program thatcan do the conversion. (I heard that some database server can do theconversion from XML to relational tables, but didn't find anythingconcrete.)Any comment/recommendation is appreciated!Thank you for your help in advance!!

I have a reporting scenario, where the reports are fetched from Analysis Services.
The reports should display data only spcecific to that user.
All users except those in admin roles should be validated using the Windows Authentication ID and data specific to them has to be displayed.
Any pointers/suggestions on how to implement this in Reporting services/ Analysis Services 2005 would be highly appreciated

Hi,
We have a matrix report which displays columns in a default sorting order. This report columns vary dynamically depending on the user input.
e.g. If user wants to see the report for column Alfa, Beta , Gama then a report will be genarted with column Alfa, Beta , Gama sorted in alphabetical order.
Site
%Risk
Alfa
Beta
Gama
X
2
1
2
3
Y
10
4
5
6
However the users want the Columns to be sorted in the order which they provide the inputs e.g. if the user entered Gama, Alfa, Beta the report should display the columns in the same order instead of applying the default sorting order.
Site
%Risk
Gama
Alfa
Beta
X
2
3
1
2
Y
10
6

Any thoughts on ways to achieve this in SSRS matrix report would really help.

Hi,
I have three tables.
The "Master table has a recordid, a masterID, a "IsSubField" and other stuff.
I need to do a join to a second table based on the MasterID...
However for each record, if the "IsSubField" has a True value then it has to use table A to JOIN to, where as if it's False, then it uses table B.
Make sense?
Anyone got any pointers?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
I have some sensitive and non-sensitive info/fields in one of my reports. Is there a way to hide/show the info based on the logged in user? or do I have to create separte reports for each type of info like one for sensitive and another one for non-sensitive info.
Thanks inadvace for your help!
I have one requirement. We have one application in banking and they have developer that application using c# and .Net code so For Business Users--when they enter their details and when they want to check Reports--it should take to a another UI or web page where Users will see all the reports--- and clicking the report he/she should be get able to export it into different formats..
i know that we can give report manager URL--but due to various issues-- we have choosen to built a web[age where they can see the reports work-flow:
so--user opens bank site--enters his details-goes into reports--it should open new webpage or UI, he should see all reports--he should export these reports..
After that based upon security levels each user can see their individual reports.
Let's say I have a table with 3 fields: an ID field (primary key, set as an id field, etc.), a Name field (nvarchar50), and an Age field (int). I have a form that has three elements:
DropDownList1: This drop down list contains 3 choices- "=", ">", and "<".
Age: This text box is where someone would enter a number.
Button1: This is the form's submit button.
I want someone to be able to search the database for entries where the Age is either equal to ("="), greater than (">"), or less than ("<") whatever number they enter into TextBox1.
The code-behind is shown below. The part I'm confused about is that if I load this page, the query works the -first- time. Then, if I try to change the parameters in the form and submit it, I get the following error:
"The variable name '@Age' has already been declared. Variable names must be unique within a query batch or stored procedure."
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is what I'm using in my code behind:
protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e) { System.Text.StringBuilder sb = new System.Text.StringBuilder(); sb.Append("SELECT * FROM People WHERE Age "); switch (DropDownList1.SelectedValue) { case "=": sb.Append("= "); break; case ">": sb.Append("> "); break; case "<": sb.Append("< "); break; } sb.Append("@Age"); SqlDataSource1.SelectCommand = sb.ToString(); SqlDataSource1.SelectParameters.Add("Age", TypeCode.Int32, Age.Text); }
