Define Default For Date Report Parameter / Analysis Services
May 30, 2007
I have a report which will one day display some data from an analysis services cube. my first step is to create a drop down parameter enabling the user to choose the date. I'd like to display only dates that have data, and I'd like it to default to today.
So I've created a dataset that will be the datasource for the dropdown displaying the available non-empty dates, which works fine.
SELECT measures.turnover ON COLUMNS,
nonempty([TBL DIM DATE].[DATE_ONLY].[DATE_ONLY].ALLMEMBERS ) ON ROWS
FROM [Itdev1 Hk]
I've also set the report parameter up to be a queried paramter,and to use the above dataset as it source, with [DATE_ONLY] displayed. and [DATE_ONLY] as the value.
Now, how do I get it to default to the last valid member in the list?

I've got a RS2000 report from Analysis services 2000. This report is working fine but after the upgrade to SQL2K5, i'm having issues with changes to parameters.
Basically i'm passing DateQuarter, CustomersLevel as parameters to the following mdx script. I've tried to change mdx script in RS2005 but no luck yet. I don't much about the parameter level changes in sql2k5. So can anyone suggest what is wrong in the script.
In sql2000 the script looks like this...
="with " &
"member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)' " &
"Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName' " &
"Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name' " &
"SELECT " &
"{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns, " &
"filter({descendants(" & Parameters!CustomerClass.value & ", [Customers by Class].[" & Parameters!CustomersLevel.value & "], SELF)}, " &
" [Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows " &
"from Sales "
i've changed the script in sql2005 but not working yet..
with
member [Measures].[Ex Price] as 'coalesceempty([Measures].[Ex Price After Trade Discount - Detail],0.00)'
Member [Measures].[CustomerUniqueName] as '[Customers By Class].currentmember.UniqueName'
Member [Measures].[CustomerDisplayName] as '[Customers By Class].Currentmember.Name'
SELECT
{[Measures].[CustomerUniqueName],[Measures].[CustomerDisplayName]} on Columns,
filter({descendants( STRTOMEMBER(@CustomerClass), "[Customer Class]." + STRTOMEMBER(@CustomersLevel), SELF)},
[Measures].[Ex Price] > 0) on rows
from Sales
Thanks in advance..

Can someone please explain how i would define a multi-valued default parameter within the report Properties -> Parameters. I have an OLAP based report with multi-value parameters. I do not want to set the default values from within BIDS. Instead, I'd like to do this from the ReportServer (after report deployment). I have no problem when i enter a single value as a 'default value', for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[AAM]
But, how would i define it with multiple values as a 'default value' ?, for example:
ReportParm1 String [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[ABC] , [Deal Dim].[Shelf].&[DEF]
NOTE: It appears that you cannot use expressions, such as the 'split' function in the 'default value' space.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.

I have a parameter that chooses its available items from a query (with a label and a value column). I set the default for the parameter to the a particular value.
It works in Preview from design mode, but when I deploy it and run the report, it does not set the default.

I have a report which queries events occurring during the reporting time frame the user selects.
A user selects arrivalDateStart as 8/1/2015 and arrivalDateEnd as 12/31/2015 and the results are returned.
The issue is that there is an event that began 7/31/2015 and ends 8/2/2015. This does not appear on the report. The user does not want to have to pick an earlier arrival date as the parameter of his report to pick up anything that was already in progress prior to the beginning of the month.
I am trying to figure out how to add an expression that will also return events that are in progress over the arrival date chosen for the report.

Hi,
I have parameters in my report. The user can choose the year, month and date (3 parameters).
Now I want to set default vaules for the parameters , so that the user sees the report for example for the current day without selecting the parameters. I tried to set the type of the parameters to DateTime and the default value for example for the year to "=Today().Year" . But when I execute the report an error occures . Something like : no validValue for this parameter.
My Attributes for the year month and date are from an Analyis Services Cube from a Server Time dimension .
Does somebody know how to make it possible to set default values for this parameters?
Other question :
Does somebody know how I can reduce the values for a parameter. For Example I have a parameter "year" from a server time dimension from a cube. The values which are available are "Year 2004", "Year 2005", "Year 2006", "Year 2007".
But I want that the user only can choose "Year 2006" or "Year 2007" ant not every Year or "All".
Or Other Example: The User should only choose a Date that is int the past or Today but not a Date in the future.
Thanks !

I have a stored procedure that grabs the Region key from the user, and the date. But i want to set up 5 reports, for day of the week. So i want to make the second parameter a defualt parameter set by me in each report. which is better then having to create 5 stored procedures with the same info just different dates.
when i try to enter the same data i have in my stored procedure to get Mondays date, i get an error.
Here is what i entered in the report parameter default expression box for the date :
=DATEADD(dd, - 6, DATEADD(dd, 1 - DATEPART(w, GETDATE()), CONVERT(varchar, GETDATE(),
101))))
but i keep getting an error that says:
The Value expression for the report parameter €˜Daily_activity_statistics_datetime€™ contains an error: [BC30451] Name 'dd' is not declared.
Build complete -- 1 errors, 0 warnings
whats wrong with it? This works fine in the stored procedure for the where clause. Please help! this would save me alot of time.

I have a report parameter StartDateTime. I set the default value to Now(). When I go to preview, the StartDateTime parameter is empty and its been locked. I am not even able to set it to different value in preview.
Can anyone help me how to set the datetime parameter to default value(Now).
Issue 2:
I have a stored procedure which takes StartDateTime parameter. Whenever the report refreshes using autorefresh interval, the startdatetime should default to Now. Right now the startdatetime defaults to whatever the value is there before i hit view report. how to do that using stored procedure.
Thanks fro your help.

I'm trying to set up a parameter report from a OLAP cube. I need 3 dynamic parameters(ThisYear, ThisMonth, YESTERDAY).
THISYEAR: =CStr(DatePart("yyyy",Today()))
THISWEEK: =CSTR(DATEPART("ww",Today()))
YESTERDAY: =CSTR(Datepart("d", Today().AddDays(-1)))
So far so good. I want to send this report by email everyday, so I need to set these parameters as a default value. This is where I run into problems.
When I add any of these parameters I get the following error "The restrictions by the CONSTRAINED flag in the STRTOSET function were violated". This problem occur when I choose NON-queried under Report->Report Parameters, and set a default value for THISYEAR under DEFAULT VALUES
=CStr(DatePart("yyyy",Today()))
Hope someone found a way around this problem.
Thanks in advance!

Dataset "FromTimeDimension" is a report parameter and has values (yyyymm)= 200601,200602,200603,2000604....... I would like to always have the default for this parameter to always be the latest month...ie November is the most recent month in our cube, so I would want the parameter to default to "200611". However, when I try to use the "last" function, the error says that aggregate function cannot be used.

I have a basic SSRS report against an SSAS database with a "start date" parameter. I want to set the default value of that date parameter to Today's date. What is the easiest way to do this? I have no problem doing it against a relational source, just haven't done it against an OLAP source.
Thanks for any ideas.

Hi all,
Does sombody have experience on dynamically set or change the default value of a report parameter?
Assuming: report parameters p1, p2, p3, p4 have been set up(and have their default value 'all') with the creation of the report1; report browseing is through reportviewer that embedded in the web application; datasource is datacube
What I want to do: based on the login user of the my web application, set default value of p1 as the user's username.
What I did is:
Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter reportParam = new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter("P1","Mary");
ReportViewer1.ServerReport.SetParameters(new Microsoft.Reporting.WebForms.ReportParameter []{ reportParam });
what I got when reveiw the report:
P1 has no default value, and p2, p3, p4 greyed and could not choose value from them.
Any idea and suggestion will be pre-appreciated!

Hi,
Is anyone using Report Builder via a Report Model generated from Analysis Services in production?
From what I have seen on the Forum people have done this from books, but it is not clear as to whether they have used it at work, in production. There do appear to be reports of some problems with the integration between the two, and with performance.
The attraction of Report Builder on top of Analysis Services is that we should only need to define measures, security, etc, once in the Cube, not twice, as we would if we had to use Report Builder on top of a relational source, alongside Cubes on Analysis Services.
What I would like to find out is:
1) If there is someone who has deployed Report Builder on top of both a relational data source and Analysis Services. If so, which has been taken up best by the users?
2) How does the navigation in Report Builder work with Cubes. It seems a little bizarre in that you can only drill down, never up. Is there any way around this. Do you need to design the Cube specifically to support the Report Model? If so how?
3) The generation of the report model is easy. However, is there any way to control this, or to edit it later?
4) We have had problems with Report Models on relational sources where changes have invalidated the Report Model and all reports built on it. Can similar problems arise, for example, if you change the Cube and then Re-Generate the Report Model?
5) Are there any other issues around Report Builder. The two I have found so far seem to be Hidden Dimensions showing up, and Report Builder not working if measures are defined as non-aggregatable.
6) Are there any other end-user adhoc reporting products which work better with Analysis Services?
Regards
Paul

Hi all,
How must I change the mdx that is generated for the available values for a user parameter in order to get the content sorted?
Regards,
Henk
BTW the exact mdx query is given below (and the label field of the parameter is set to 'ParameterCaption'), but I would already appreciate an example of a simple mdx.
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
MEMBER [Measures].[Nummer en Naam] AS '[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION +": "+ [Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION'
--MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME'
MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS '[Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL'
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption],
[Measures].[Nummer en Naam]
, [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS
, filter ([Organisatie].[Level 5 naam].MEMBERS,[Measures]) ON 1 ,
[Organisatie].[Kosten Nummer] on 2
FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@OrganisatieLevelnaam, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurPeriode, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@KalenderFactuurJaarNummerLang, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [FMR DWH Afgenomen Dienst])))

I have a report with datetime parameter which is required to be optional (there should be an option not to select this parameter which would cause in not narrowing result of this report by this parameter).
I used datetime parameter
@daTo (to have the calendar control for selecting date) and check on "Allow Null" value. Here is default Value.
I've also tried to set DefaultValue expression was "=Nothing". Â
IN my query of data set, here is the part I use the parameter @daTo
 ... Where (@daTo IS NULL OR TRUNC(@daTo) >= TRUNC(pe.start_time) ....
But when I run the report, I got below error:
ORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected DATE got NUMBER
I think it @daTo value actually not null so it try to TRunc the value
I don't know how to set null value default in my report.

I am using report builder 3.0.
I have a report parameter called para1 which is a drop-down list and what I want to do is display another report parameter based on the para1 selection.
So for example, para1 contains a, b, c choices. if a user selects b, I would like para2 to display but if the user selects a or c, I don't want the para2 to display.

Adding a value to a non-queried default report parameter value does not update on the target server after deployment.
To recreate
1. Create a report in Visual Studio and add a report parameter with the following properties:
Multi-value is checked
Available values = "From Query"
Dataset = [create a dataset that returns a table w/ a Id and Description column]
Value field = [the Id field from the table]
Label field=[the Description column from the table]
Default values = "Non-queried" (add several values the match the IDs from the table so that some of the values in the report dropdown will show up as checked when rendering the report)
2. Build and deploy the report to the reporting server. View the report and verify the specified items are checked in the report parameter.
3. Go back to Visual Studio and add a value to the Non-queried Default values.
4. Build and deploy the report again. View the report. The newly added item is not selected.
Notes
I verified that the newly added ID exists in the rdl file (as xml) on both the development box and the server where the report was deployed. However, when I view the report parameter using Management Studio (connect to the reporting server), the newly added value for the report parameter does not exist. I verified that changes are being deployed by adding new parameters and changing other properties of the parameter. I thought maybe the rdl itself was being cached somehow - I tried restarting IIS, SQL Server, and SQL Reporting services. None worked. Note that running the report on the development box by running the project through Visual Studio DOES reflect the change to the parameter.
Work-arounds
1. Create a dataset for the report that returns a table of the Ids that you want pre-selected. The query could be something like this:
SELECT '4' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '5' AS SelectedId
UNION
SELECT '6' AS SelectedId
2. Delete the report in Management Studio, then redeploy.
I have issue w/ both workarounds because for 1) it is not intuitive and you have to remember to do this for every similar case, and 2) this extra step has to occur each time the report is deployed w/ changes to the report parameter.

I'll go to a dataset, open up the query designer, add a new parameter, then refresh the fields, but the parameter won't be added as a report parameter. If I go to the dataset properties under the list of parameters, the value in the dropdown will be blank. However, sometimes this will automatically add.Â
Is this a bug in Visual Studio? How do I get around this?Â

After connected to Analysis Services and following the path below:
Analysis Service - Databases - Cubes
I create the parameters for a custom report after right click on a specific Cube and select Browse to arrive at a view where i can define dimensions and parameters as well as drag and drop measure to the report rows and columns. The left top File bottom only give me a Save Selection or Save ALL option. However, i'm not sure where it saves it to or if it saves the settings for this custom report at all.
I pull this report monthly and it's a pain to recreate all the parameters. How to save this template for future pulls or maybe even incorporate the pull into excel for monthly refresh instead?

I have two parameters, lets say P1 and P2. P2 is cascaded with P1. P1 -> P2.
For the parameter P2, the following proterty set are
 1. Multi Select
 2. The default value is all the available value selected (Same dataset is assigned to both "Available Values" and "Default Values")
The data relation be,
P1Â Â Â P2
AÂ Â Â Â a
AÂ Â Â Â b
AÂ Â Â Â c
AÂ Â Â Â d
BÂ Â Â Â a
Now the issue is,
Step 1 : When i choose A in P1 first time, a,b,c and d in P2 are selected
Step 2 : When i change B in P1, a is selected
Step 3 : When i change back to A in P1, only a is selected in P2 (a,b,c and d should be selected)

Hi,
I'm having problems navigating from one report to another one if the second report has a multi-valued report parameter. When I navigate to the second report, I don't pass any parameters, but I get an error "parameter is missing a value" for the multi-valued report parameter. I have it setup as allow "multi-value" and "blank value". Any idea what the issue might be?
Thanks.
