I have a parameter that does a query. The parameter is a multi-value
selection. Here is the problem. The query may return 500 values. The user
needs to select maybe 5 or 10 values in the dropdown. However currently they
are all selected forcing the user to unselect hundreds. Is there a way to
force the multiselect parameter to default to all "unchecked" as opposed to
all checked/selected?
Thanks.

Office Web Components against Olap / Analysis Services has a Select All
functionality.

If there is a "Select All" option at the top, click it so that it is
checked, and then click it again so that it is unchecked. The "select
all" functionality also serves as a "deselect all".
This resolves the symptom but not the problem itself. It sounds like
you have the same dataset specified for both the Available and the
Default values. Change it so that there isn't a default value.

The solution in this case is quite simple. Check Null for the Default values
for this parameter. When the report is loaded, nothing is checked. If you
already have SQL 2005 SP1 installed, to be able to use the Select All option,
you'll need to get a hot fix from Microsoft support otherwise Select All is
not available to your users. HTH.
