SSRS error in MDX expression syntax is incorrect
I have a 2008 SSRS report error: An error has occurred during report processing,(rsProcessing Aborted) query execution failed for dataset 'Consumption' (rsErrorExecutingCommand) Query (7,52) parser: the syntax for 'Count is incorrect. This SSRS report is on the AX 2009 Role Center page. Here is the MDX expression: WITH MEMBER [Measures].[Deviation] as ([Consumption Deviation]) SELECT {[Measures].[Actual Consumption],[Measures].[Budget Consumption],[Measures].[Deviation]} on 0, {([Projects].[Project type].[Project type]. ALLMEMBERS * Topcount ([Projects].[Projects].[Projects].members,@count, [Measures].[Deviation]))} on 1 FROM [Project Accounting Cube] WHERE ( STRTOMEMBER('[Company].[Company accounts].&[' + @Company + ']'), STRTOMEMBER ('[Forecast models].[Model].&[' + @Company + ']&[' + @ForecastModel + ']'), STRTOMEMBER ('[Projects].[Project manager].&[' + @Company + ']&[' + @ProjManager + ']'), { STRTOMEMBER("[Project date].[Years Quarters Months Weeks Days].[Days].&[" + format(CDate(@ProjectDate1), "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]") : STRTOMEMBER("[Project date].[Years Quarters Months Weeks Days].[Days].&[" + format(CDate(@ProjectDate2), "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]")}, { STRTOMEMBER("[Ledger date].[Years Quarters Months Weeks Days].[Days].&[" + format(CDate(@LedgerDate1), "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]") : STRTOMEMBER("[Ledger date].[Years Quarters Months Weeks Days].[Days].&[" + format(CDate(@LedgerDate2), "yyyy-MM-dd") + "T00:00:00]")}, [Master Company Reporting Currency].[Currency].&[Local])

When I run a syntax check on your query in management studio it reveals that the issue is with the following line :- ([Projects].[Projects].[Projects].members,@count , [Measures].[Deviation]))} on 1 Query (25, 44) Parser: The syntax for 'count' is incorrect. Do you have a parameter declared for this placeholder and is it mapping correctly? It would seem it's not being replaced for some reason when the query is run.

The function call you are making, TOPCOUNT, expects a parameter that is obviously the number of top records you want to return. That is what is needed where the @count parameter is in your query. In the dataset, under the Parameters section, you should see an entry for the @count parameter in the query, that specifies what the value is. It looks like you need to add an entry there, or alternatively replace the @count keyword in the query with a number.

Okc, were you able to resolve this error? We are having the same issue.

If you have a string such as "@string" somewhere in a query, and it is not mapped correctly in the reporting services parameter section, it will send that string directly to the provider with no substitution of parameter values. That will cause an error like the above.
