Hi,
I am using BO XI 3.1 with latest fix pack.
I have created a OLAP universe based on SSAS 2005 Multicube for reporting using WebI
I have Date field in my SSAS cube and i created a universe based on that cube , but my Date field changed to Character in the Universe Layer.
My requirement is that i need to create a a prompt over that field in the webi report using a CALENDAR to enter the value instead of entering the value manually.
I changed the type of field for the date field from CHARACTER to DATE in the OLAP Universe level and exported it in order to see the calendar prompt ( as the calendar component is visible for the data type of DATE) .
This conversion don't seems to work for me due to the conversion from Char to Date even if i have the data for particular date i cannot see the records but if manually type the value for that same date without converting the Date format to type Date.
I also tried the MDX stuff and created :
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="format"@Prompt('Enter Date ','A',,,{1/1/2009})"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>
but problem is still the same .
So can you suggest about unusual behavior of the Universe Layer.
Kindly suggest .
Regards,
Vibhav
