Dashboards 4.1: How do I set up a dynamic report ?

Good day Experts,

I have a Project that requires me to build several Dashboards for a project that would:

1. Connect to SAP BPC 10.0 NW get the TIME and Entity Dimension members for the Cluster (for which the dashboard was created)
2. Allow them to Select the Time and Entity members with which they would like to work
3. populate a Dynamic EPM Report in the background which drives the Excel calculations that present them the data.
4. Allow them to save the changes to BPC 10

I can produce a dashboard which does 1,2, and 4; however; no matter which method I try, I am unable to get 3 right.

When I run the Dashboard, the EPM Reports always presents me with the data of the intersection used when I created the EPM Report.

My dashboards are created using a Local Connection to the applicable SAP BW datasource

The system I am using is :

I have been following some blog entries of Camille Pieume on http://planning andconsolidation.wordpress.com/author/biconsult/ .

Article: Enhance your Dashboard (based on BPC Data) by using selectors and the “writeback-function” of the EPM Connector had helped with the Insert data aspect.

Article:Enhance the visualization of your data on a dashboard (based on BPC Data) by using the Hichert’s Success Rules for data visualization item 3 Steps to build your dashboard does not quite seem to work as described.

I have tried these methods to create a Dynamic EPM Report

1. As described by Camille Pieume
   1. Create a report with all dimensions except those with which I want to use as variables
   2. Create combo-boxes for the user to select Time and Entity dimension members
   3. Post selected Time and Entity members to space provided in Page axis of the EPM Report
   4. Set up an EPM Connection to use user-selected Time and Entity Dimension members as Dynamic Filters
2. A twist on Camilles Pieume's suggestion
   1. Create a report with all dimensions except those with which I want to use as variables
   2. Create combo-boxes for the user to select Time and Entity dimension members
   3. Set up an EPM Connection to use user-selected Time and Entity Dimension members as Dynamic Filters
3. Based on Xcelcius 2008
   1. Create a report with all dimensions except those with which I want to use as variables
   2. Create combo-boxes for the user to select Time and Entity dimension members
   3. Post selected Time and Entity members to space provided in Page axis of the EPM Report
   4. Set up an EPM Connection to NOT use user-selected Time and Entity Dimension members as Dynamic Filters

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
