Hi,
I have an SSAS cube that i want to add some actions to. I've had problems adding a reporting action to the cube so decided just to add a URL action instead. Start simple and build on the concepts...
So i add a new action, give it a name, set the Target Type to Cells, Taget object to All Cells. I've put no condition on the action since i want it to appear all the time.
The action content type is set to URL the action expression is set to "http://www.google.co.uk" I've also set a caption of "Google" under the additional properties and said that the caption is MDX (I'm aware that it isn't but i do intend to expand on this...).
See the attached screenshot.
I then build and deploy my cube, call up excel (2010) and then create a pivot table off the back of the cube but when i right-click the cells in the pivot table and go to "additional actions" it tells me that there are none specified.
Does anyone know where i'm going wrong? I'm obviously missing something rather fundamental here.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi,
As an update to this. It seems that this action does work but not on pivot tables that have previously been created. If i create a new table then the action is available.
Even after doing a "refresh all" in Excel the action is not available on PivotTables that have previously been created. I'm going to investigate further but may well end up creating a connect item.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi,
As a further update to this... It turns out that the reason my actions were not appearing on my cells was because i had a filter on my excel report that was using a multi select. If in the filter i'd have selected ALL or just one of the list items then the action would have appeared.
This has been seen elsewhere and is blogged about here:

Anyhow, just thought i'd share my final findings because it took me several hours of fiddling and searching yesterday before finding out exactly what the problem was.
Thanks,
Simon

I had the issue when I changed the name of a dimension and forgot to changed it in the parameters defined for the report action.
Once i updated the typo, everyting was back to normal.

Hi Guys,
I would like to open a window and define width and height from an action in ssas, in ssrs i could do something like this " void(window.open('http://www.google.com', '_blank','location=no,resizable=1,toolbar=no,left=5,top=5,height= & 335+(20*1-20) & ,width=860'))" . Is there a way?

If I were you I'd start a new thread for that problem so that you get a better response.
I'm not sure you really understand what you are trying to achieve. Create a new post with some more detail of what it is you're trying to do and where.
Thanks,
Simon

Hi Simon,
Thanks for the update. I'm facing the same problem with SSAS tabular instance and Tabular actions.
Have you created a Connect item for this?
