I've created a dateprompt and we have a "calendar years" dimension in my cube. Under "calendar years", we have "quarter","month","week" and "day" levels. I tried to create report which date <= prompt. I used "day" level to compare the dateprompt parameter. It failed. Anybody helps! Thanks.

You have to remember that the cube is not populated with dates, it's populated with Member Unique Names.  If you tried using the tree-prompt instead of the calendar prompt, I think you'd have more success.
No, a proof is a proof. What kind of a proof? It's a proof. A proof is a proof, and when you have a good proof, it's because it's proven.
