I have an SSRS report that uses data from a SSAS Tabular model. In the query designer, from the calendar dimension I choose a "Date Inclusive" filter and make it a parameter. I also choose to add another filter using and Organisation Unit dimension and also make this a parameter. The report is written and deployed to a SharePoint 2013 library.
Most of the time, the report runs as expected with the parameters cascading off each other as expected. However, occasionally, parameters get cleared (either after changing a single value such as the Org Unit selection or sometime whilst the report is being rendered). Sometimes you cannot select a value from the available values - you need to navigate somewhere else and then start over.
I changed the data source for the parameters to use SQL queries that return the same values as the MDX queries and the probably seems to have gone (time will tell)
This report has a child (detail) report that has one extract parameter. This parameter happens to have over 1,000 values. With the change of the parent report, you are now able to get to the child report. However, the child report seems to exhibit the same problem with the parameters being cleared - and with a much higher frequency.
So, that leaves me wondering whether
- anyone else has experienced this ?
- is this an issue with SSRS 2012 and SSAS Tabular models (I have not seen this behaviour before and I have been using SSRS (since version 1) and SSAS Multi-dimensional (from when it was called "OLAP Services") ?
