SSAS: selecting parent members

  • Hi all,

    First of all I'm pretty new to SSAS and SSRS. And I'm a bit uncomfortable with the SSRS query-designer (because it gets SSAS data only in two dimension?!?).

    What I have:

    A SSAS Cube with dimensions and measures and data.

    One Dimension is a hierarchy:

    Customers

    -main-groups

    --detail-groups

    One detail-group is assigned to every customer. And the detail-groups are categorized into five main-groups. But the main-groups itself contain no data (only the sum of their detail-groups).

    What I want:

    Now I want to create a SSRS report in BIDS. But I only want to display the main-groups. In the query-designer I can select only the main-groups, but I get not results (since they do not have any data because the data is in the detail-groups).

    Question:

    Do I have to group those detail-groups in the report or is there a direct way to get the aggregated (and only the aggregated) data?

    Thx for any help

  • Well, another question:

    How do I use the group filter with "in" in BIDS?!?

    If I filter: [custgroup] = 1 - direct sales

    or: [custgroup] = 2 - internet sales

    the filter works.

    But if I filter with "in":

    [custgroup] in 1 - direct sales, 2 - internet sales

    I get no results.

    I guess I use the wrong sytax for the listing?

    Thanks
