Hi all,

I am trying to create a drill through from one crn report to another. Everyting goes well Except my promptpage. I dont know how i can drill through so that the target report is filtered with the prompts i use in my drill through report.

Thx!!

Create required filters in the target report and make them as optional filter. Now in Drill through report( the report from which u wanna drill thru) create the appropriate drill thru's.

Hi Anand,

Thats not exactly what i meant. A drill through is not a problem. I wanna drill through so that the prompts in my promptpage in drill through reports is also used in the target report!!!

example: I have got organisation, month and year prompts in my prompt page. If i run my drill through report i am prompted to choose from organisation, month and year. I want that my target report uses also these prompts without choosing again the same prompts in the target report.

Thx

Cheers,

You need to create prompts & calculated fields for each of your prompts in both your reports. You must ensure the calculated field names and the prompt names you create are exactly the same in both reports.
When you select your drill through report, you need to then include these calculated fields you've created for your prompts as 'Columns to be included in the drill through filter'.

you can not have a prompt page in a drill-through report (target report).

Hi All,

Miss ReportNet is this still an issue?

What you need to do is create data items in your query in your main report that capture the parameter values the user selected, for example, create a data item that captures ?year? and name it year_param. Do the same for ?month? and ?organization?

In your "target report" you have 3 parameters that need to be satisfied, ?target_year? ?target_month? ?target_organization?

Assuming that the drill through link in the main report is organization, create a drill through link on organization to your target report, when prompted to "hook up" the parameters in the target report select the "data items" (year_param) you created in the main report to capture the parameter values your user selected and hook it to (?target_year?)in the drill through report. Do the same for organization and month.

BTW, it doesn't matter if the target report has a prompt page, as long as you pass all the values from the main report it will work.

Let me know if this works for ya.....

Hi Nuffsaid,

Thx for your information.

Your first 2 alinea's i can manage. The drill throug link will be outside the main report body. That makes it diffucult for me. Can you tell me what to do from now on.

Thx in advance!!

So been messing around and I created 2 sample reports (code below) using the Go Sales and Retailers package.
Copy the code to the clipboard, open Report Studio and under the Tools menu select “Open Report From Clipboard”. Save the reports as MAIN and TARGET within the Go Sales and Retailers folder. (I hooked up the parameters but I’m not sure it’ll work when you save the reports to your system.)

So, assuming we live in a perfect world……………..

Open the Main report with Report Studio and run it. You should be prompted for a date range. Select a date from as early as 2004 to toady. When the report renders (if it does) click the Product Line link to drill through to the Target Report.

You’ll notice that the Target Report returns info based on the Product Line you drilled on for the date range you specified in the Main Report.

Oh, BTW, both reports contain prompt pages and can be run independent of each other. However, as mentioned before, if you satisfy the Target report’s parameters when you’re drilling through you wouldn’t even know a prompt page was present in the Target report.

If all this works you should be able to adapt this to your situation, and hey if you have problems, you can always come back!!

Ready? So here we go…….

Create the Target report first, (because if you create the Main report first and VALIDATE it might error out because it can’t find the Target report)

Target Report Code

Code:

Hi Nuffsaid,

Thx for your suggestion and sorry for my late reply (holiday :))

I am trying to do what you have written, but how do you copy the code to the clipboard? I can copy the report to clipboard if I have created a report but now i have only the xml code.

I am very curious??

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi,

Highlight the report code in the post above, right click and select copy.

Open Report Studio and from the Tools menu select "Open Report From Clipboard".
