Using report parameter in data set filter expression with an SSAS data source

Question

I have an SSRS report with an SSAS data source.
Report parameters:
Param1 - text, single select
Param2 - text, multi-select
Dataset:
In Query Designer, I want to include Param1 as a filter expression so I can have "Dimension1 Begins with @Param2". I'm not sure the exact syntax to make param2 work in this.
The point is to filter my data set on param1. If A is selected for param1, I want the data set to have the filter saying "Dimension1 begins with A"
Anyone know how to use a report parameter in the dataset filter expression for an ssas data source?

hi,
try this maybe the dates you are comparing are not in the same format.
I test data template in EBS but not with dates.
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'dd/mm/YY') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'dd/mm/YY')
if dont works try to put values insted of your parameter like :
to_date(date,'dd/mm/YY') between to_date(:p_from_date ,'10/01/07') and to_date(:p_to_date ,'01/12/07') ... put dates where u can have some values in report...
if dont work then try to print the values of the 2 parameters and the date of the select somwhere in ur report to see what you have in it..
hope it helps..
