    Hi MarkHoughton 

    Apologies that I wasn't able to update this post earlier. But I was able to find a fix to this date issue - 

    You would need to switch this to TRUE

    Now go back to your BI-Viewer. This should add "Start" and "End" Date data-items. Drag it to your argument pane and that should fix the dates on the axis. Hope this helps you save development time.

Hi ChrisLoran 

Very helpful post.

What is the purpose of  dctVars?

Dim dctVars As New Dictionary(Of String,String)
dctVars.Add("Cube","MyCubeName")
dctVars.Add("Entity","E1001")
dctVars.Add("SomeOtherParamX","XXXX")
dctVars.Add("SomeOtherParamY","YYYY")

 

and how do you reference this rule within Dashboard BI component?
