Passing OLAP-parameters between reports

I have to reports, ReportA and ReportB. Both uses datasets that are based on
OLAP cubes. Both reports has parameters and works fine.
My challenge:
When clicking in a field in ReportA, I want to navigate to ReportB, sending
the appropriate parameters from ReportA to ReportB. The first parameter I
send is the value of a fiield "Location", for instance "Seattle". However,
when I send this to reportB (which takes, amongst others, a location
parameter), the value "Seattle" is sent, and not the value which is
understood by ReportB's parameter, that is "[Dim Location].[Location].1".
To accomplsh my task I think I somehow need to print the value "[Dim
Location].[Location].1" in a hidden field in ReportA and send this fields
value to ReportB. But how do get both Seattle and [Dim
Location].[Location].1" as member values of the same OLAP dimension?
Hope I made my self clear enough here. It is a bit difficult to explain, and
don't hesitate to ask me if there is something you didn't understand.
Thanks in advance for your helpYou can return the OLAP dimension member's Unique name in your query, like
this:
with member [Measures].[MyName] as '[Gender].currentmember.name'
member [Measures].[MyLevelOrdinal] as '[Gender].currentmember.Level.Ordinal'
member [Measures].[MyUniqueName] as '[Gender].currentmember.UniqueName'
member [Measures].[MyMeasure4] as '[Measures].[Unit Sales]'
member [Measures].[MyMeasure5] as '[Measures].[Store Cost]'
member [Measures].[MyMeasure6] as '[Measures].[Store Sales]'
select {[Measures].[MyName], [Measures].[MyLevelOrdinal],
[Measures].[MyUniqueName], [Measures].[MyMeasure4], [Measures].[MyMeasure5],
[Measures].[MyMeasure6]} on columns,
{filter([Gender].members, [Measures].[Unit Sales] > 0) } on rows
from [Sales]
(try with Foodmart 2000)
In your case, this should return something like
MyName = Seattle
MyLevelOrdinal = Seattle's level ordinal
MyUniquName = [Dim Location].[Location].1
LIke: member [Measures].[MyUniqueName] as '[Dim
Location].currentmember.UniqueName'
