Drilldown Problem Using Parent Hierarchy

Does anyone know how to create a parent-child hierarchy that can be expanded (ie drilldown capabilities) in reporting services as well as analysis services?

Currently, I have a dimension with three attributes: parent, child, and key. Everything works fine in Analysis Services. When I click browse for the cube and I add the parent-child hierarchy, Analysis Services autogenerates a drilldown from the top level to the bottom level. However, reporting services doesn't seem to recognize the parent hierarchy as being a true hierarchy. After I add the parent-child hierarchy to a table or matrix, it will only add the very first level. There doesn't seem to be any way for reporting services to autogenerate the drilldown like in Analysis Services.

I really need this to work on a report. Any ideas would be much appreciated? Thank you.

You need to set the parent property on the grouping, check out this page on Recursive Hierarchies for details http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms155903.aspx|||That link applies to Report Designer but what about Report Builder? When I generate a SMDL from an Analysis Services cube, the model contains all my dimensions but if I drag them over to the report, it returns all the available members.

DrillDown on Recursive Data

How can I do drilldown on recursive data?
I have a table with products that have parent products
Eg:
ProductID ParentProductID
1
2 1
3 1
4 2
I want to drill down on all the levels.
Thanks

Drilldown for Parent Attribute

Does anyone know how to create a drilldown matrix or table using a parent attribute in Analysis Services?

Currently, I have a dimension with this parent attribute which contains up to 10 levels. Then, if you click "Browse" in the Analysis Services toolbar it will let you expand each node until you reach the end of the branch. This allows a variable length tree. However, the problem is that when I go to add this attribute to my query in reporting services it only adds the first level. In other words, when you expand the attribute in the query designer, you can see all ten levels exist but only the first level is added to the report. I've also tried to manually add each level into the query, but this also fails. It ignores whatever level I add and just keeps the attribute's first level.

I know this is kind of a confusing problem, but I'd really appreciate any advice.

Thanks!!
Joel

Does anyone have any ideas or need more clarification?
