I am completely dumfounded by the limitations I've discovered in the Microsoft SSRS Mobile reports publisher today. I started building my first real report that connects to a tabular model in SSAS. Firstly, I found you cannot store the data source or dataset in the report. You have to store it as a separate object on the SSRS dashboard that users are able to see. I'm sure I could hide them with user permissions but that is added administration overhead.
Secondly, when I tried to connect to the tabular model, the mobile report publisher can't do it because the model has parameters which have no default value..... (seriously MS??? - more overhead)
This next part I just can't believe. I rebuild the cube without parameters and was able to connect the dataset to the report....however, when I tried to link the timeline navigator to the dataset, it's not an available choice in the dropdown box.
No error messages, no suggestions, just, not listed. So how/why is it not listed, the dataset contains year & quarter names with 2 different measure columns. I should be able to use this dataset on a time line.
