How To Create Cascading Parameters In A Report With Cube As Datasource

Mar 11, 2008



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 creating a cascading parameter.
The following scenario:
I have a dimension "Period" as Paremeter.
The Period dimension is cascaded to year- quarter- month.
So, I would like to create a cascading parameter for period as year - quarter - month.

Please let me know, how to acheive this.

thanks,
Naveen.

Reporting Services On Cube: Stop Parameters From Cascading

Aug 27, 2007

Hello,

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.

Suggestions are very welcome...

Entities Disappear From Report Builder Explorer When Datasource Is A Cube

Feb 1, 2007

I have scoured the internet looking for someone who has run into this issue with no such luck!
Product: Reporting Services 2005              Analysis Services 2005

Our users use Report Builder as an ad-hoc report tool. Data sources for Report Builder come from Report Servers and Analysis Servers.

I have run into issues where a user will select a source for their report that is based on an AS cube. When they select an attribute (field) from a selected entity in the Report Builder Explorer and drop it on the canvas, all entities except the one the field was selected from disappear.

For example:

A cube has a fact table called "Annual Income" with dimension of employee and demographics. In Report Builder, the entities would be listed in the left hand Report Builder Explorer window as

Annual Income
Employee
Demographics

If I select attributes from Employee or Annual Income, as usual, you will see the related hierarchies of the remaining entities. However, if I select an attribute from Demographics, then the Annual Income and Employee entities just disappear and all I can see is the Demographics entity and its attributes.

Has anyone run into this and if so, any ideas? This is becoming extremely frustrating. I have deleted and rebuild cubes, individual dimensions, and everything else I can think of.

Your responses are appreciated,
Scott

Visual Studio Hangs When Generating A Reporting Services Report With Cube As The Datasource

Mar 7, 2007

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

XML Report Datasource - Web Service Issue With Parameters

Oct 2, 2007

Hi,

I have set up a report to access a web service and consume one of its methods - a method that returns a datatable set up with a table adapter. Query code example below:





Code Block

<Query>

<Method Namespace="http://AcornExportWebServices.org" Name="GetAllEnquiries"></Method>

<SOAPAction>http://AcornExportWebServices.org/GetAllEnquiries</SOAPAction>

<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">
GetAllEnquiriesResponse{}/
GetAllEnquiriesResult/diffgram{}/
DocumentElement{}/Enquiry
</ElementPath>
</Query>
This works fine and returns expected results.

However, when I try and return a set of results from a web service that has a parameter specified I get nothing returned. I have tried various different methods including adding the parameter in the dataset dialogue and specifying the parameter and specifying the parameters as in the code example below but still with no joy. Here is the code example with parameters:







Code Block


<Query>

<Method Namespace="http://AcornExportWebServices.org" Name="GetEnquiry">

<Parameters>

<Parameter Name="EnquiryID">

<DefaultValue>1</DefaultValue>

</Parameter>

</Parameters>
</Method>

<SOAPAction>http://AcornExportWebServices.org/GetEnquiry</SOAPAction>

<ElementPath IgnoreNamespaces="true">
GetEnquiryResponse{}/
GetEnquiryResult/diffgram{}/
DocumentElement{}/Enquiry
</ElementPath>
</Query>
When I remove the ElementPath declaration I get back the schema of the table so I believe that is proof that the web method is being contacted but whatever I seem to try I cannot return any results (or the 1 result that the web service should return).

I would be grateful to know if anyone has any ideas or suggestions about this problem.

Thanks.

Cascading Parameters

Mar 28, 2006

Hi All

I am using RS 2000. I used 2 input parameters for one of the report. The 2nd parameter is based on the 1st parameter. i.e. First Parameter is Country and 2nd Parameter is State. Based on the Country selection the list of states for the selected country will get displayed. This is working fine in Reporting services as well as report server. When deploying into the application it doesn't work.

If you have solution for this I would like to share.

Hi

I am doing report development against cube (OLAP) and I have several parameters. My second parameter is to be filtered based on the first parameter (kinda like cascading), but how do we achieve this in a cube environment? Lets say I have param1 and param2 in a dataset. I want Param2 to show the locations only based on what I select in Param1. Hope this helps. If you have questions, please let me know.

Cascading(?) Parameters Help

Sep 24, 2007

I have 2 parameters that are of type string. The user can enter anything they want in them. The third parameter is query based and uses the first 2 parameters to get a list of people. Is there a way I can prevent the third parameter from propigating until the first 2 are both filled in? The first 2 cannot be drop downs however, they are used in a wild card fashion.


Thanks!

Cascading Parameters

Apr 25, 2007

Hi,



I have a listbox which selects distinct brands from the products table.

Then another list box which lists all the orders with order description. Each order has a unique system generated ORDERID and the user provides the orderdescription which could be duplicate.

Depending on the Brand selected by the user in the earlier list box, only those orders containing the the brands in order details files should be available for selection in the list box.

e.g. BRands Lisbox shows: Cream A, Cream B and Cream C

If the user selects 'Cream A', then the next list box shows orderdescription as 'Cream A order for regular sale','Cream A order for exhinition sale', 'Cream A order for exhibition sale'

The problem here is that if the user selects a description which is duplicate (could be the case), then the system brings back the wrong order details.

How is it possible to allow a user to select a order description but search on the OrderID?

Thanks for the help

regards
josh

Cascading Parameters

Mar 20, 2007

Hi,

I am using SQL Server 2005 reporting services. I am having a problem with Cascading Parameters. In my report there are 4 parameter . (Product Class, Product Type, Product SubType and Activites). when user open the report page he/she will have to select a value for product class depending on the selection Product Type and Sub type will be populated. So far its good, but Activities also depends on the Product Class. My question is can we have 2 parameters depend on same parameter. Here in this case Product Type and Activities both depend on the Product Class. I want only those activies in the dropdown which belongs to the Product Class that is selected.

Can anyone please give an ideas?

Thanks

Can I Create Dynamic Report Parameters?

Apr 4, 2007

Hi all,

Is it possible to create a report with dynamic parameters or parameters dependant on other ones? I have the following scenario -



Parameter 1 - 'Select an Application' - List of applications that are available

Parameter 2 - 'Select a module' - This is a list of modules that needs to depend on Parameter 1. As a user selects different applications, the appropriate module list will be loaded.

Is this possible to do in SSRS?

Cascading Multivalued Parameters

Apr 1, 2008



Hi,

I have the folowing problem with RS2005.
I have 2 parameters in my report. Firs one is a list of projects which is a single select. The second one allows to select multiple employees.
When I select a project from the first parameter, the list in second parameter gets narrowed to list of employees that are assigned to this project.

The unexpected behaviour:
1. I select "Proj1" from first parameter
2. The second parameter gets narrowed. I select "Select All" employees
3. I generate my report. OK

4. I change the selection in first param to "Proj2"
5. The second parameter gets narrowed, but employees that are common for "Proj1" and "Proj2" are still selected, which is unwanted. ERR

The users of this report gets confused as they generate the report just after point 4. and they think all employees are still selected.

What I want to do is uncheck all employees from second parameter every time the first one is changed. That would cause the user to get a prompt for selecting second parameter.

Is there a way I can do this? Any clue would be nice.

Best Regards.

Cascading Parameters Problem

Jan 17, 2007

Hi,

I have a problem with cascading parameters. I have 10 parameters in my report.

Parameters 1, 2, 9 and 10 are independant. Parameters 3 to 5 are cascading parameters as well as parameters 6 to 8.

Parameters 3 to 5 have no relationship with 6 to 8. But when I change the value for parameter 3 the values for parameters 4 to 10 are reset ???! I don't understand why, only parameters 4 to 5 should be reset.

Can someone please tell me how to avoid parameters 6 to 10 being reset ?

Cascading Parameters Problem

Mar 7, 2007

I have the following conundrum:
I have a report that utilises 3 cascading report parameters: region, area manager and business manager. They are in the correct order in the list of report parameters i.e. region then area manager then business manager.
When I select the region, then an area manager within that region, after having made the selection the area manager dropdown list changes to some arbitrary choice.
I also have a textbox equal to the label value of the area manager report parameter and this label displays something entirely different from my choice and the one that seems to be the "default".
Please note that I don't have any actual defaults for the parameters.

My question is why does the area manager dropdown change after the postback from my choice to something other?

A Zillion Reports When Using Cascading Parameters?

Nov 17, 2007

I need the ability to choose between quite a few cascading olap time query parameters for a report without my creating a report or subreport for every combination of these parameters. If the recordset were smaller perhaps I could filter it when it's passed back to the report but it's a few million. Will switching to expression-based command text and building the mdx queries in code work? I would like to be able to tell rs to remove the parameter from the query if no selections are made.

Cascading Parameters Causing Slowdown

Feb 1, 2008

Hi,

I am currently working on a report with 3 cascading parameters. These three parameters depend on the datasets whose data are retrieved from a large table with SELECT DISTINCT. As the table grows larger, selecting values for these parameters cause postback, and slow in performance from user perspective. I am looking for a way to reduce postback. Can anyone suggest the way to retrieve the dataset all once and filter the dataset without causing postback? Or any other way to improve the performance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Problem With Cascading Parameters After CTP2

Dec 4, 2006

In the standard report manager I'm running a report with 5 parameter choices. The first 3 are determinants of the 4th, and the combined 1-4 determine the 5th.

Although this works fine in my VS BIDS (sp1) with SQL 2005 sp2 CTP, when I deploy it to my sp2 CTP Report server, it throws an error as soon as I select the 3rd parameter.

One or more data sources is missing credentials

I found this answer from MS in another thread (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=923684&SiteID=1) and since it deals with my problem, wanted to pass it along to anyone else that is dealing with this problem.

" This is a known regression with CTP2 that will be fixed before SP2 is released. The problem is not specific to multivalue parameters. It has to do with dependencies between parameters.

In some cases, you can work around the issue if you give the dependent parameter a default value. You can also work around the issue by removing the valid values dependency between the parameters, though this may not be possible for a given report."

The suggested workaround does work! I can get beyond the 3rd parameter now because I applied a default value!

Cascading Parameters Based Off Analysis Services

Jun 6, 2007

Hello,



I was trying to do cascading parameters based off my cube and I wasn't able to do this. Is it possible?



For example, I have a dimension that has Products so I first select the parameter for product type (Dairy, Frozen, Candy) and then I have another dropdown listbox that has the name of each product (Milk, Ice Cream, Lemon Drops). The second dropdown listbox should only contain the products that match what parameter was selected in the first dropdown.



When I couldn't get that to work, I went to the source system containing the Dimension tables and just did nice and easy SQL statements from there. It worked but I, for some reason that I can't explain, think this is not the proper way to do it.



Also, is there a way to have a default on the second parameter based on the first parameter selected? I would assume that default would be [All].



Thank you.

Problems Displaying Default Value Of First Cascading Parameters.

Mar 3, 2007

I have 5 cascading parameters.  They all have default values.  I would like the default value of each of these to be selected when the report opens.

It currently works correctly when I preview the report, however when I deploy the report to the server it does not.  In the deployed report, the default value of the first parameter is not selected.  However, when I select a value for this one, on postback the rest of these parameters get set to their default value.  They're all configured the same.  I'm confused as to why the first one doesn't default to its default value while the others do.

Got any ideas?

Here's how I have it configured:

Allow null value CHECKED

Allow blank value CHECKED

The rest are unchecked.

Available values: From query

Default Values: Non-queried with a value supplied that exists in the dataset.

Cascading Parameters With Values Supplied By Query

Feb 11, 2008



Hi,

I would like to set up cascading report parameters but need to supply the list of values in my dataset query as they are not being pulled from a table or stored procedure.

I would like to set up something like

select 'LS' Source
Union
select 'RH' Source
Union
select 'UK' Source

as the value list for my first parameter, then, I would like the second parameter to default to '1' if the first parameter has 'RH' or 'UK' selected but default to blank if the first parameter has 'LS' selected. I can get all to default to blank or 1 but can not seem to make it dependent.

thanks!

Reporting Services :: SSRS Cascading Parameters

Jun 26, 2015

I am using SSRS 2008 with a SQL Server 2008 R2. It's been many years since i have used SSRS but i have used this and some other reporting tools in the past.I have created a cascading parameters where upon selecting 'ALL' or one of the other values in parameter A , the other values gets displayed in paramter B which is working in the Report builder. i am handling this in the dataset  query where i handle that through a case statement ( something like WHERE 1 = (CASE WHEN @Prm_A = 'ALL' THEN 1 END) OR  column_X= ( CASE WHEN  @Prm_A <>'ALL' THEN   @Prm_A END ).Also tried WHERE @Prm_A = 'ALL' OR column_X=  @Prm_A

This seems to work in the report builder on my machine or when i run it by editing the report on the web, but when i publish it on the report server, i don't see that behavior, meaning it does not cascade. I also tried to simplify it by making the query simple(WHERE column_X=  @Prm_A ),  but it still would not cascade on the web.

Problem With Select All On 2 Multi-value Cascading Parameters

Aug 27, 2007

Hello,
since some hours I'm struggling with 2 multi-value cascading parameters which default values should be always "Select ALL"

First Parameter:
available vlaues: From query
dataSetsGetCountry (defined as select from tblCountries)
ValueFied:ContryName
LabelField:CountryName
DefaultValues: from Query
dataSetsGetCountry
ValueFied:ContryName

SecondParameter:
available vlaues: From query
dataSetsGetAreas (stored procedure which parameter is the list of the selected countries)
ValueFied:AreaName
LabelField:AreaName
DefaultValues: from Query
dataSetsGetAreas
ValueFied:AreaName

First time I open the report
the first and the second parameters are properly filled and for both parameters "select all" is checked.

I select one option from the first parameter, the second parameter's content change dinamically and "Select All" option is still selected !Cool

Now I change the selection on the first Parameter, by checking AN ANOTHER item from the list , the second parameter list refresh dinamically but "Select all" IS NOT selected and only the item that were previously checked kept the selection !!!NO!!

Is this a bug in Reporting services and I have to say to ther user that is not possible to develop what they would like to have or there is , even programmatically, a way to solve it?

Thankx for any helps!

Cascading Parameters In SQL Server Reporting Services 2005

May 29, 2007

I have a Reporting Services 2005 report which uses cascading parameter multi-select drop-down boxes. The report runs perfect after making initial selections. However, each subsequent parameter selection causes the page to refresh to a blank page until the View Report button is clicked. What I would like to happen (which should be the norm) is for the user to be able to make all necessary selections without the page auto-refreshing after each selection. The user would then click the View Report button to regenerate the report. We are currently using reports which contain up to 5 cascading parameters. This becomes very time-consuming when the page refreshes after each selection.



Has anyone come across a solution or code alternative to this problem??



Any help would be most appreciated.



Thank you.



Tony
