SSRS Date parameter - current month from SSAS cube

I have a SSAS cube with a date dimension called Posting Period and now I would like to have my report parameter using this date dimension to show the current month.
So far I have worked out the following expression which are working(Fiscal year calendar going from May to May) for the year component - but I can't figure out how to get it to work on Quarter date part (and the month) so as you can see
the Quarter and month is hardcoded in the below expression:
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" + CStr(Year(Today())-1) + "].&[Q4].&[10]”
Any help would be appriciated.

Hi HCMJ,
In your scenario, you use the expression
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[" + CStr(Year(Today())-1) + "].&[Q4].&[10]”
to set the default value of the parameter and then use it in the MDX query, right?
If in this case, you can use the expression below
="[PostingPeriod].[Posting Period].[Year].&[2013].&[Q" & DatePart(DateInterval.Quarter,today()) & "].&[10]”
to set the value on Quarter date part.
And it returns:
If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out and elaborate the meaning of "but I can't figure out how to get it to work on Quarter date part (and the month) so as you can see the Quarter and month is hardcoded
", so that we can make further analysis.

Formula to subtract current month from previous month

Hi
I would like to how to subtract current month from previous month in Crystal 10. Basically am looking at the variations that between the two month . I would also like to know the 12 m onth rolling data formula. Using the same formula, you need to get the difference between the two month.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.
Thanks

Cauvery

Hi Thanks for reponding.
Though the formula is correct, I don't think it will work out in that way because I have a 12 months rolling data formula and using this formula I have to subtract the current month from previous month.
This the formula that am currently using for 12 months rolling data
{HPD_HelpDesk.Arrival Time} >= DATEADD ("yyyy", -1, CURRENTDATE)
Please advise.

ABAP routine for loading data of current month in InfoPackage

Hello experts,
I want to load data of current month. Therefore I implemented the following ABAP-Routine for field 0CALDAY in the InfoPackage's data selection:
data: lv_datum_l like sy-datum,
         lv_datum_h like sy-datum.
concatenate sy-datum(6) '01' into lv_datum_l.
call function 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS'
exporting
day_in = sy-datum
importing
last_day_of_month = lv_datum_h.
l_t_range-sign = 'I'.
l_t_range-option = 'BT'.
l_t_range-low = lv_datum_l.
l_t_range-high = lv_datum_h.
But function 'RP_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTHS' cannot be found!
Any other suggestions for getting last day of current month?

Min date for each month from list

Hi all,
I need to select only minimal date for each month from this sample query:
select date '2011-01-04' as adate from dual union all
select date '2011-01-05' as adate from dual union all

Slow parameter from SSAS cube

Hi,
I've got a SSRS report which use a SSAS cube as source. In the report there are 5 parameters which are build in the Report builder 3.0 using the designer. The report server is a SQL server 2008 R2 with the latest updates.
The issue that I am having is when running the report if I would like to choose another value from one of my parameters then I open the parameters (drop-downbox)and select another value in the box - then it's like the drop-down box hangs for 3-4
seconds when I click out of the box before the value is appearing in the report, when I use the Report builder Tool. If I do the same in IE then the reports render for 10-15 seconds each time a new value is choosen.
Any Idea how to improve this?
The Parameter consist of only 5-6 values and it performs very fast if I execute the Query in the designer
I've attached the Query as it looks like for the parameter(hidden dataset):
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Company].[Company Name].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Company].[Company Name].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Company].[Company Name].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Company].[Company Name].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM ( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@ReportingCurrencyReportingCurrency, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [SALES])
(the issue is the same for all my parameters)

Hi HCMJ,
In your scenario, you said that "the reports render for 10-15 seconds each time a new value is choosen".
Report server performance is affected by a combination of factors that include hardware, number of concurrent users accessing reports, the amount of data in a report, and output format.
To find out how long it takes to process a report and which process phase take more time, we can review the report server execution log. We can use the report execution log to find out how often a report is requested, what formats are used the most, and
how many milliseconds of processing time is spent on each processing phase.
In addtional, i'd suggest you enable SQL Sever profiler to monitor the queries fired by the report, once you find some queries took a very long time to run, consider creating the smaller cube partition or optimzing the query by adding index or
partition to improve the query performance.

Deleting Data from SSAS CUBE

Hello Everyone,
I have a question, we developed a Basic Cube by building dimensions & Fact from the Source table(Everything in DSV, no Physical DIM and Fact Tables). Now everything goes well. The Source table will only have CUrrent day data.
My Question is: Need to delete particular day data from the cube without disturbing the Existing Data.
Eg: When I process the data on 31st of March, cube will have only 31st. But when I process 1st , 2nd data CUbe should have 31st +2nd data. 1st Dated data should be deleted from cube,when ever I process the data I just need month end data need to be stored
with current day data. all the other stuff should be deleted from the cube.
if I process the Cube on 1st of May, I should only have 31st March, April 30th and May 1st data.
Hope the Question is clear, please let me know.
Any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks In Advance.
Thanks, Please Help People When they need..!!! Mark as answered if your problem is solved.

Hi BKomm,
I Guess the only way to handle this scenario is by using partitions.
Create partitions for every last day of months + One additional partition for current_date.
your where clause for current_date partition should be somewhat like this
Where Date = current_date And Date <> Last_Day_of_current_Month
so that it does not duplicate data for the last day of current month.

Hello Kamat, I was looking for something else inorder to delete the existing data from a cube. But your Approach is far better than making it complex, it did not strike to my mind. Thanks will implement practically and check.
Thanks Again.

Get data for current month in VC from query - Urgent

Hi all,
I have designed a query for cube FIAR_C03 for overdue items and query output contains customer, net due date, document date, fiscal year period and amount. I want a chart for that query in VC that only contains those items in which net due date is in current month. How can i do that?
Where I can place the condition to display only those items in vc in which net due date is in current month and how ?
Please respond.

Hi Aisha,
It is possible to do with following steps:
1. In Query Design make your field 'Net Due' filter with variable for date input (0CALMONTH for example where your date should be this format MMYYYY). Test your query and see if you input a month/year date it would would work;
2. Build one table from output of your query (choose fields);
3. In Visual Composer, drag your query into your board and from 'Varaiables' port (NOT FROM INPUT) drag a line to create a Start point. As soon you realease to create 'Start' a box will ask which fields you want. Choose your date as field;
4. Select the line between Start point a query. In Input Field assigned the following formula (DSTR(NOW(),'MMYYYY') *
5. Deploy your model
at this formula I said: transform NOW(), current date, in Text with format MMYYYY (012002 for example).
It works!
Assigned points if was helpful.

="[Time].[Days].&[" +Format(dateadd("m",0,dateserial(year(Today),month(Today),1)), "yyyy-MM-dd")+"T00:00:00]"
output will be ;
[Time].[Days].&[2014-09-01T00:00:00]
For last day of current month and year
="[Time].[Days].&[" +Format(DateSerial(Year(Now()), Month(Now()), "1").AddMonths(1).AddDays(-1), "yyyy-MM-dd")+"T00:00:00]"

Using FORMAT_STRING from SSAS cube - not working consistently

Here's the deal.
I've got an SSAS cube and I am scoping the format of the measures based on dimension members.
Like this.
scope(( [Account].[Level 5].&[I000900000] ));
format_string(This) = "(#,0,);#,0,";
end scope;
I'm then calling this format in the SSRS report using typical SSRS trickery and hacks.
Well. When I run the report for one date (this is a GL financial cube), this works perfectly. When I run the report for a different date, it all of a sudden doesn't work. When I view the data in excel through a pivot table, everything is fine.
It's driving me crazy. Has anyone else experienced something like this.

Hi Baracus,

SSRS - Date Parameter Format

Hi,
I have a report where I need to filter values based on dates, so i am using two parameters , From Date and To Date
I have set the parameter to be Data/time in Parameter Properties -> general tab and Also used an expression to format as mentioned in some of the Forum links for example
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sqlserver/en-US/2fa790d6-bb28-4e21-8100-fd9ea64ea61b/parameter-date-format-in-ssrs?forum=sqlreportingservices
i am not getting any error but the format will not change,
I have already Coverted my datetime values to read as date (yyyy-mm-dd)in the SQL Query but the format in the parameter is still in mm-dd-yyyy format.
Hope I am not missing something silly and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

How to get current month from BI 7

Dear Expert,
I am working on a BI 7 report and I need to restrict a key figure using the current month and previous month.
Could you help me to find out how to do so?
Thank you very much!
Arthur

if you want to make 2 diff rest key figures.
check if you have current month variable under cal.month , if not create a variable( single, not range ) for current month
and make a new selection take key fig and rest with current month.
and make a new selection and take the key fig and restrict with current month variable keep off set as -1
if you want to make only one restricted key fig which shows both current and previous then.
create a variable as range and write a exit code from sy-datum ( take month and year ) as the high value and substract one and make it as low value.
Hope this helps
