Nope - I shouldn't have said "edited" as I did not modify the ddwx. I'm just trying to get the default parameters to show. Two are dates and one is a string. I definitely am using http://foo/ReportServer and http://mysite/...rdl. Initially when I click preview, I get the unable to find report server. When I click it again, the report appears in the preview pain but the report parameters do not populate in the table. Therefore I have no hooks into the report. Just checking to see if others have this issue. Hello Russell.

So you are trying to over-ride the default parameter values used by SSRS when you configure the report in Dashboard designer? I used the default parameters, and it "just worked". If you need to override, I'd suggest you configure the PPS report in dashboard designer while pointing at the SSRS URLS which actually work (the machine name, like http://foo/ReportServer). Put your parameter over-rides in, and then examine what they look like in the DDWX...I would think you'll see something like "Parameter FOO Value = [Dimension].[Attribute].&[Attribute Key]"....I don't see any reason why this wouldn't continue to work even if you change around the Report URL & Report Server URL...Wonder. Let me know what you see. Yikes. So you are trying to over-ride the default parameter values used by SSRS when you configure the report in Dashboard designer?

SSRS is running in SharePoint Integration mode on http://myappserver. Therefore the Report Server URL is http://myappserver/ReportServer. And obviously the report url is http://mysite...report.rdl. I do occassionally get the "Unable to find report..." error but if I hit refresh again, it appears. Also have Kerberose thrown into the mix but everything on SSRS seems to be working fine.

Still having an issue with the report parameters showing. I edited the ddwx file and everything looked good. Any other suggestions? The report does appear however the parameters will not populate. Therefore I'm unable to hook into the report within the dashboard. Hello there and thank you for your post. Still having an issue with the report parameters showing.

I watched that too, and found it confusing. What he was referring to in a round about way is the "PivotViewer Extensions for SSRS" project - The SSRS/MOSS/Pivot tool that generates collections for you which was shown during the BI keynote. I'm not exactly sure why the words "SQL Server Analytics Services" were used..I actually got very excited when I watched the video after your post...thought there was something new and different out there I had missed...but internal poking revealed it was all semantics :( Hey Jamie, long time.

]]> Comment on PowerPivot, DAX and Semi-additive measures by Vincent http://performancepointblog.com/2010/01/powerpivot-dax-and-semi-additive-measures/comment-page-1/#comment-782 Vincent Fri, 28 May 2010 03:53:13 +0000 http://performancepointblog.com/?p=149#comment-782 Thanks for the tip! However, was wondering whether you find a way to fix the Grand Total line as well? Seems like these DAX expressions result in a Grand Total showing latest disk size across all databases. So, for instance, if you had gaps in disk use dates such that say database A had use dates up until 10/31/09 and database B had use dates up until 12/31/09, then only database B's disk use at 12/31/09 would be shown in the grand total.
