I have a problem to create a report based on a parent child-dimension
When I go to reporting services, and I create a new report based on a cube, I drag my parent-child dimension to my data-layout. Then the dimension is immediatily ragged down.
Anyone an idea to solve this.You need to group the data on the UniqueName property and set the parent group expression to the ParentUniqueName property.|||Does anyone have an example to create a report based on a parent-child dimensions
Thx|||Brian
I changed the report with the grouping on uniquename and the parent group on parentuniquename
But now I got only the top level
How can I drill down?|||I have the same problem and didnt' find a solution for it. What I really want are the little +/- signs so i can open/close the children of the parent.
Didn't find anything ... what I do now is ident the children. This can be done using an expressing in the value property and using the LevelNumber to add spaces in front of the value ...
Not quit what I want ....
If you find a solution please share it here ...|||
hello,
I have a similar problem in RS2005:
In my report I see all levels in one column (How did g4rc manage to see only top level?...). However they are shown in a way that I think that if I only could get it to toggle correctly it will work out fine...
I would like my P/C dimensionto display just as it does when I use AS. Expanding top level (by pressing +), viewing next level down where I can "open" (by pressing +) next level and so on. Does anyone know how this is done or suggestions on how to solve it?
This is the kind of display I would like:
-A 100
-B 50
D 25
E 25
+C 50
Sincerely,

To solve these problems I followed these steps:
1. Alter the mdx query
2. Define the parent group in the report layout
3. Define the toggle item
1. Alter the mdx query
a. You should add a calculated member that gets the parent of your current member. Look to the following query (the dimension “Conta Raz?o” is a parent-child dimension)
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Parent Label] as '[ContaRaz?o].[Default Hierarchy].CurrentMember.Parent.MEMBER_CAPTION'
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Real], [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Parent Label]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {DESCENDANTS([Conta Raz?o].[Default Hierarchy])} ON ROWS
FROM [Controlo Or?amental]
2. Define the parent group in the report layout
a) Select the group in your table, “edit group”, and in “parent group” property select the field that contains the parent of your dimension member (in my case, I select the “=Fields!Conta_Raz?o_Parent_Label.Value”; the query above has a calculated member that gets the parent of the current member )
3. Define the toggle item
a. Select the group in your table, and the “hidden property” of “visibility” should have “=IIF(Level()=0, False,True)” – this means that only the “first parent” is visible
b. In the “toggleItem property select the name of the textbox that contains “the members of the parent-child dimension”)
I hope this is useful for you.

Yes this is realy helpfull. But next when you collapse one its straight under the parent one. i want it more to the right. How can i do that for all levels under the parent level?
Kind regards,
Rob
|||Hi,
In my previous post, I forgot to talk about the "padding property". So, in the textbox that contains “the members of the parent-child dimension”, select the "left property" of the "padding" in the "window properties" and write :
=Level() * 15 & "pt" (Note that this is an expression.)
This means that we indent each member with 15 * LevelN spaces, where LevelN is the current level of that member.
Have a nice day

Hello Telmo,
Thanks for your answer!! That works great. Now i have another question. I am trying to do your example with the employees parent child hierarchy in Dim employee from the adventure work cube. And it work also with the toggling. But when a parent name is the same as a child I don’t see the child and is it is being aggregate with the parent. So when you expand one and you sum the child’s you miss some data because the child with the same name as the parent is not showing in the report. I have tried a lot but how can i solve this problem? In the dataset when i run the mdx query i see the child which i miss in the report. I hope you can help me!
Thanks,
Robbert
|||Hello Robbert,
Try this:
Modify your mdx query and instead of getting the "member caption" of the parent you should get the "unique name". Also you need to create a calculated member that gets the unique name of the current member. Then you must edit the group of your table and set the group expression to the dataset field that has the unique name of the current member; next set "the parent group expression" to the dataset field that has the unique name of the parent.
Take a look to the following query (the modifications are shown in bold)
WITH
MEMBER [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Parent Unique Name] as '[ContaRaz?o].[Default Hierarchy].CurrentMember.Parent.UniqueName'
MEMBER [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Current Unique Name] as '[ContaRaz?o].[Default Hierarchy].CurrentMember.UniqueName'
SELECT
{ [Measures].[Real], [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Current Unique Name], [Measures].[Conta Raz?o Parent Unique Name]} ON COLUMNS,
NON EMPTY {DESCENDANTS([Conta Raz?o].[Default Hierarchy])} ON ROWS
FROM [Controlo Or?amental]
I hope this solves your problem.

|||Hello Telmo,
Everything works fine and all children will be shown. But when a parent has a child there is a toggle item (+) before the parent name. But when a parent has no child there is no toggle item (+) before the parent name. This look weird because it is not easy to see which level is showing. So I want before all members a toggle item (+) also when there is no child. I think this looks much better. But how can I do that? I hope you will help me one more time.
Best regards,
Robbert
|||Hello Robbert,
I think that It's not possible, because, in this case, the toggle item (+) exists if the member has any child, i.e., there is some kind of group. So, I think that It's not possible. If anyone knows how to do please let me know.
Best regards,

|||Hello Robbert,
I have good news for you!
You want that every member should have a toggle item (+), even that member has no child, right?
So try this:
1. Insert a new row below the table group
2. the row should have a small height (say 0,1cm)
3. Select the entire row and set the "hidden property" of "visibility" to True. The "toggleitem property" should have the name of the texbox that contains the members of the parent-child dimension.
4. Et voilá... when we expand a member that has any child, we also expand that row; if the member has no child, only the row is expanded. It means that always exist the (+) before a member.
I think this solves your problem.
Best regards,
Telmo Moreira
