Drillthrough Action active while working with Cube Formulas and Slicer in Pivot Table

Let's say we've build the following report Pivot Table with Slicer Cost Centers based on SSAS Cube :
As we can observ there are Drillthrough Actions available, so that the users can see details associated with the selected Cost Center.
After we converted the Pivot Table to cube formulas because of complexity of the reports, the Drillthrough Actions are not available anymore. They were disabled like in the second picture.
I checked the Cube Formula and it's looked like this:
=CUBEVALUE( "CUBE";$B13;C$5;Slicer_Cost_Center_No )
The Slicer was passed as Parameter after converting to formula. If we try Drillthrough now , it's disabled. But if we remove the Slicer from formula and pass the cost center manually, the Drillthrough will became active again.
How can we keep the Drillthrough Action active while still working with Cube Formulas and Slicer as Filter?
Drillthrough will became active without Slicer in Formula:
Try Excel 2016 and SSAS 2016. This combo allows drillthrough on cells minding filters set on slicer. You can run Excel 2016 on SSAS 2014 or 2012, in such case drillthrough will not honor slicer filter set.

SSAS - Return dates where no data exists

How, in SQL Server Analysis Services, how can I return rows of data for dates where no data exists? In this instance, ideally, I'd want to return the value of 0. In plain SQL, I would do this with a CTE. However, I'm still figuring out SSAS.
Right-click on your PivotTable and choose PivotTable Options. Select the tab labeled "Display". There is an option called "Show items with no data in rows". Put a check mark by that one.
If you prefer zero then on the Layout & Format tab of that same dialog set "For empty cells show" to 0.

SSRS Alpha Numeric value Search

My SSRS report is connected to SSAS. I have a parameter called Plant Code. In data base my plant code is in alpha numeric format like '02plant123'. Wen i search the report with a plant code the following error occurs 'plant123' not fount and by default the numerics before the text are getting removed. what kind of conversions are to be made in my MDX so that the numerics are also considered?

Custom Column Filter on Pivot Table in Excel

I have an Pivot table in an Excel Sheet where i want to put an custom filter on the label Worktype.
The Worktype can have only 5 values i.e.
Non Production, REX, QA, RES, BP.
The filter should be like this that:
IF(WorkType Contain only "Non Production) then Show "Non Production" in WorkType,
else Hide "Non Production" in WorkType and show remaining WorkType (REX,QA,RES,BP) .
In essence this answer is "you do not need a 'custom' filter, standard features do exactly what you would like done" (if I am understanding your question).
With dummy data as shown and two pivot tables (to show different selections via filter):
In the smaller pivot table only Non Production is ticked in the filter selection and in the lower pivot table that selection is inverted.
I appreciate this may well not be what you wanted, but if so further clarification may be appropriate.

Pentaho Report Designer: How to create a chart based on an OLAP cube?

Using Pentaho Report Designer, I can successfully display my OLAP cube's data as a table.
But when I want to display the same data as a chart, it always fail saying "CHART.USER_NO_DATA_AVAILABLE".
Actually, I don't really know what I should enter for category-column and value-columns. I tried:
category-column = [Area].[prefecture]
value-columns = [[Product].[Product.Product].[All Products].[productA]]
And any other variation I could think of, but no success. Any idea? Thanks!
My OLAP cube is a Pentaho Analysis: sales count for each product and prefecture.
Just use:
[Product].[Product.Product].[All Products].[productA]
You only need the extra square brackets around the entire fieldname if it's a formula.
Or pick the field from the dropdown.. then you know you have the right one!
If you're doing a timeseries xy, note you have to repeat the category column value as many times as the value column.
also make sure you have a series name too.
