Comment on Dynamic SSRS Chart Data Label Visibility by Mark V

I agree that the Variable isn’t specifically required. I could have noted that, I suppose. I just like how clean it is and that it is re-usable easily. I am a big fan of Report Variables. :) Thanks muchly.

Nice and included a report variable:) The variable is actually not needed, you could simply place that logic in the expression directly. If you are going to reuse that logic thought it is nice to centralize it though.

An alternative to this is to simply use a empty set such as {} on the columns to retrieve your list of values for your parameters. You will see that at least in SSRS R2 and Report Builder 3.0 this is what gets generated for the hidden parameter datasets. So your query could simply look like the following: SELECT {} ON 0,
[Product].[Product Categories].children ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]

Thanks Shannon. I hope you can put it to good use. The “Blue Steel” look is REALLY important. :)

Thanks much, Dan. I must admit I have neglected the Microsoft Partner resources. I wil fix that, though. I had the pleasure of telling Brian about it tonight at PASSMN.
