Discoverer Viewer - Drill down option
Dear all
I created a report in discoverer desktop, with drill down option for financial information.It works fine in Disco Desktop. All the drill down options are working fine as well. But the same report when run in disco viewer, it has got an option for drilling down further, then another option for collapse(with the blue button) - to view the summary value.
When the collapse option is chosen, the blue color button disappears in Viewer and wouldnt know how to drill down back without reloging into the application.
Could you please help me how to solve this problem, as I need to share this report with users who has viewer access only?We are using 9i at the moment.
Thanks.
Hi Russ
I have heard folks having awful issues with IE 7. It seems to mess up everything Oracle. Sounds like Oracle and Microsoft have some hurdles to cross. For now I would advise everyone to either stay on IE 6 or use another browswer like Firefox.
To answer the specific question posted here, it is possible that the user has hit one of the well known Discoverer bugs wherein Discoverer Viewer cannot properly execute workbooks created in Desktop. There are fixes and one-off patches available for this in MetaLink but these patches all require a password to download them. I would advise the raising of a service request and in the request spefically ask if there is a one-off patch that will fix this.
Best wishes for now
Michael

[Forum FAQ] How to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report?
In SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS), drill-down is an action we can apply to any report item to hide and show other report items. They all are ways that we can organize and display data to help our users understand our report better. In this article,
we are talking about how to use parameter to control the Expand/Collapse drill-down options in SSRS report.
Consider that the report has a dataset (dsSales) with following fields: SalesTerritoryGroup, SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear, SalesAmount.
1. The report has the following group settings:
Parent Group: SalesTerritoryGroup
Child Group: SalesTerritoryCountry
Child Group: CalendarYear
Details: SalesAmount
2. Add three parameters in the report:
GroupExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes Value: Yes
Label: No Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: Yes
CountryExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
YearExpand:
Available Values: “Specify values”
Label: Yes
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No",Nothing,"Yes")
Label: No Value: No
Default Values: “Specify values”
Value: =IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="No" or Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="No","No","Yes")
3. Right click SalesTerritoryCountry icon in the Row Groups dialog box, select Group Properties.
4. Click Visibility in the left pane. Select “Show or hide based on an expression” and type with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
Select “Display can be toggled by this report item” option, and select “SalesTerritoryGroup” in the drop down list.
5. Use the same method setting CalendarYear, (Details) drill-down with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", False, True)
6. Click SalesTerritoryGroup text box in the tablix. Select InitialToggleState property in the Properties dialog box, and type following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!GroupExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
7. Use the same method setting SalesTerritoryCountry, CalendarYear text box with following expression:
=IIF(Parameters!CountryExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
=IIF(Parameters!YearExpand.Value="Yes", True, False)
After that, when we preview the report, we can use these three parameters to expand/collapse drill-down.
Note:
In our test, we may meet following issue. We can check the expression of InitialToggleState property to troubleshooting the issue.

How to use drill down option in Crystal Report
Dear all,
I want to know how to use drill down option in Crystal report 2008. In below i have explained my screnario
For example
My scenario is. In crystal report I have Purchase order like PO101,PO102. Each purchase order have 5 line items. If i drill down each purchase order it should display line item in crystal report.
Regards,
Baskaran.hi,
Create a Group on 'Purchase order'.
Group Expert -> Select the Purchase Order and Click the arrow button such that it appears right side. Click ok.
GH1 is inserted.
Your detail section should include 'Line items' fields.
Right Click 'Detail' section on left hand side, Click 'Hide (Drill down Ok)'.
Now you will see only 'Purchase order's in Group Headers.
Now when you click on a particular order, you will see respective line items.

I have multiple iPhoto libraries on my Macbook Air 10.7.5 and when I am selecting which library to view (hold down 'option' key and launch iPhoto from the dock) it automatically closes another open application window eg. Chome, Word. 1 app closes every time I launch iPhoto this way.
If you're pushing Option at the exact moment you're clicking the Dock icon, it's supposed to do that. Wait until just after clicking it.

Drill down option availiable in FR
Hi All,
Drill down options is available in financial reportion or not? If possibles means, how to do the drill option in FR?
Thanks,
PCHi,
It depends what you mean by drill down, you can't yet drill to other sources (maybe not true if count in Essbase hybrid data) though you can use expansion, so if you click on a member it will retrieve and display say its children. Read more here

Hi! Can somebody tell me why I have disable the drill down options in all my charts???
I´m using Xcelsius 2008, fix pack 1
Thanks!Hi, Jessica Ordoz
You want to say that Your Drill Down Option is Disable for all Charts if i understand you right it not allows you to enable Drill Down.
In Fact when you Place a Chart you will find this option disable but it will automatically let you Enable it when you select Data Range for this Char.
Please Reply if not able to Do that.
Kind Regards,

Anyone know if there is a way to set the default drill down option in a report to "Expand by Inserting New Rows"? I know I can save a template with that option, but I'd like to set the BPC global default that way.
Thanks in advance,
PaulHi, you can try to set the Drill Down Options using the code below:
Sub ChangeWorkbookOptions()
' If an error occurs it is necessary to first add the parameter name
On Error GoTo EXPOPTIONS_NameError
Application.Names("EV__EXPOPTIONS__").Value = 0 ' use the parameters value 0 or 1
Exit Sub
EXPOPTIONS_NameError:
Application.Names.Add Name:="EV__EXPOPTIONS__", RefersTo:=16, MacroType:=-4142, RefersToLocal:=16
Resume
Exit Sub
End Sub
' EV__EXPOPTIONS__
' The drill-down options control member expansion behavior in the active spreadsheet.
' 0: (Expand by Overwriting Rows) - The expanded members are displayed in the rows below the expanded member, clearing existing members as needed - normal
' 1: (Expand by Inserting Rows) u2013 Any rows below the expanded member shift down, and new rows are inserted to accommodate the newly displayed members - 1

Drill Down Options in Planning & HFM
Hi All,
What are the drill downs option available in Hyperion Planning & Financial Reporting.
Regards,
PC
Edited by: dwhpc on Jul 23, 2009 10:31 AMHi,
In planning V11 you have the option to drillback from forms to FDM.
Other than that there are not many options, you can write custom javascript to pass details from a form into a web page that could drill down on data.
It is possible to use to EIS/Essbase studio to use drillback with essbase.

chandrakumarHi Chandrak,
Perhaps the reason you don't get many answers is that you often ask the same question several times, sometimes only hours apart (as if there were 10,000 of us sitting here watching the forum all day, poised to answer "chat-style"). The questions are often very simple (in the help or the manual). Most are marked "urgent". (People begin to ignore the driver who blows his horn all the time.)
Anyway, I didn't know how to edit the title of a worksheet either, so I created one, and right-clicked the mouse on the title to see what would happen, and lo and behold, up popped a context menu with the selection "Edit Title". That took about 20 seconds.
Then I looked to the menu bar, pulled down the [Sheet] menu and there was an "Edit Title" selection there also.
Once you are into the "Edit Title" dialog box, there's a [Help] button.

Viewing reports with Drill Down option
Hi all, here is the complaint that we received:
Please try to find a means to help!
When I’m in my Report and when in an account and I go to a deal to alter or look at it, when I return to reports I always am driven back to the top of the report file. If I’m in December and looking at the entire year I have to go through all accounts once again to get to the same starting point. A great irritant. I can’t help but think that there is a better way.
Anyone know if this can be changed? Thank you in advance!!!Sorry, let me explain...
The problem isn't with the report, they have issues with what happens after you drill down into the account from the report and go back to the report.
When they go back to the report after adjusting the account/opp it doesn;t go back to what they were looking at, the view will go to the top of the report. Say they were looking at Account #100 out of 250 (250 total accounts in the report), if they drill down into account 100 and then go back to the report they will be taken back to account #1.
Is that more clear?
What they want is to be able to go back to the view of Account #100.
