Similar questions have been asked but none have helped me to do what I need done.
I have a report parameter that selects a year. This list is populated through a dataset which is from a SSAS data source. I have one for Year and one for Calendar month and they are both dimensions of [Allegation Closed Date].
Right now it is set so that the default parameter value has to be changed manually but I want to always make it the current year so I dont have to do this every single year. The default values are set as "specify values" with a value of:
[Allegation Closed Date].[Year].&[2013]
[Allegation Closed Date].[Calendar Month].&[2013-01]
In the brackets where it says 2013 I have tried all the different expression strings I can think of to get the current year but none have worked. I also tried creating a new dataset field named CurrentYear and then using those same functions in the field source so I could just add [CurrentYear] instead of [2013], but this also did not work.
Could someone please explain to me what I am doing wrong here and why this is not working as it should?
