I have a report that needs to be displayed in 3 different ways based on the parameter.

I have a parameter called Report view, that will have
1. Summary
2.Summary with details
3.Summary with Drill Down.

If I Choose Summary, it should display on the groupings and the detail section should be supressed.

If I choose Summary with detail, nothing is suppressed and both groups and details should be displayed.

If I Choose Summary with Drill Down, It should display the grouping, when I click the grouping the corresponding detail should be displayed(like hide drill down ok).

I know the first two options can be done just by supressing details section when "Report View = "Summary".

Can anyone tell me how to achieve the 3rd option?

Thanks.
 
You can use the drilldowngrouplevel function in the section suppression area.

{?Report Level} = "Summary" or
(
{?Report Level} = "Summary with Drilldown" and
drilldowngrouplevel = 0
)

Hi LB,

This is not working as I expected. If I have your formula in suppress area of detail, it is still showing the detail section when i choose "Summary with drill down" option.

When I choose "Summary with Drill Down" option, then I should only see the groupings in the preview, Only If I click then the details should be shown.

If I check the Hide(Drill down OK) check box, then the summary is always hided even for "summary with details" option.

Can you please be more detailed?

Thanks,
 
Make sure you spell it in the pick list the same way you spell it in the formula--make sure the case matches, also. In my formula, I wrote drilldown as one word--and you didn't.

There you go...It worked now.

I have another question though :),

How would i get the page headers that has the header information for the details while i do the drill down.("Summary with drill Down")
 
Go to file->report options and make sure "show group headers on drilldown" is checked--This will actually show all headers, not just group headers.
