Data Driven Subscription Help

Hello all,

I am trying to schedule an MDX report to run once a week and it only works if I pass one parameter per field.It would fail every time I try to pass multiple parameters.Do you know if there is way to pass multiple MDX parameters?

The parameter field is set as multi-value field.

This worked –

'[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[67]'

This failed –

'[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[67], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[70], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[69]'

This failed -

'[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[67]&[69]&[70]'

Could you post the MDX statement into which the parameters are being passed?

Thanks,
Bryan

The parameter is passed to @.TravelProduct:

SET [Dim Travel Product Set] AS StrToSet(@.TravelProduct)

MEMBER [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].[Travel Product Subset] AS 'Aggregate([Dim Travel Product Set])'

Thanks in advance!

|||It also works if i were to run this manually and select multiple parameters. The problem is I don't know the proper syntax of what's being passed when there are multiple selections.

|||

Enclose the list of members inside { } when passing multiple members.

None of the below syntax works:

'{[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[4]&[5]&[7]}'

'{[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[4], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[5], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[7]}'

This is the method that I am using to pass the parameter:

So this is still working:

SELECT CONVERT(char(10),DateAdd(dd, -1 - (DatePart(dw, getdate()) - 2), getdate()),101) as Sunday,
'[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[4]' as TravProd,
'[Dim Car Vendor].[Car Vendor Desc].[All]' as Vendor

This does not work:

SELECT CONVERT(char(10),DateAdd(dd, -1 - (DatePart(dw, getdate()) - 2), getdate()),101) as Sunday,
'{[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[4], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[5], [Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[7]}' as TravProd,
'[Dim Car Vendor].[Car Vendor Desc].[All]' as Vendor

This does not work:

SELECT CONVERT(char(10),DateAdd(dd, -1 - (DatePart(dw, getdate()) - 2), getdate()),101) as Sunday,
'{[Dim Travel Product].[Dim Travel Product].&[4]&[5]&[7]}' as TravProd,
'[Dim Car Vendor].[Car Vendor Desc].[All]' as Vendor

Take a look at this. It works against Adventure Works:

Code Snippet

select

[Date].[Date].[July 1, 2003] on 0,

strtoset("{[Product].[Category].[Bikes],[Product].[Category].[Clothing]}") on 1

from [Adventure Works]

What I am trying to do is pass the @.TravelProduct from a Data Driven Subscription in Reporting Services and schedule it to run once a week. The select statement that I built contains all my filters, but when I add more than one filter for a particular field, it errors.

Thanks!

What my code illustrates is how the MDX must be constructed to support multiple values from a parameter. You need to use STRTOSET, you need to wrap that comma delimited list of set members in curly braces, and that set string needs to be wrapped in double-quotes. If you've got all that in place, you can use a parameter in SSRS supply the set of members. The trick is getting your MDX in order to be able to work with the value from the parameter.

Thanks! I'll try that later today and report back.

I tried what Bryan did above but it is still not working. ;(
