I use this approach myself, and thought I'd add a refinement that I've discovered in SSRS 2005. When you first create the default value, SSRS will produce a data set to fetch the default member from the SSAS DB.

Hi Boyan,

Quick one on this… I use this approach myself, and thought I'd add a refinement that I've discovered in SSRS 2005. When you first create the default value, SSRS will produce a data set to fetch the default member from the SSAS DB. When you're over-riding the default parameter value in the MDX designer with a default parameter specified by the report shell itself, you can just delete the autogenerated data-set.

I've found that deleting the dataset increases report performance considerably when you're passing a member unique name to a StrToMember function in your MDX report query.

As I said – haven't checked this out in SQL 2008 yet, but I'd be willing to bet it's the same.
