Drill Down Functionality in Report.
Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where end user want to use drill down functionality for OBIEE reports. we are using 10.1.3.4.1 version rite now.
Now what user wants is he want to drill down from Country -->State --> County -->City --> Zip code, Street Address, House #.
Now in Obiee we can build the dimension hierarchy in BMM to achive the goal, But if you see the last level of hierarchy they want to see 3 Columns (Zip code, Street Address, House #) when they drill down from City...
Now in Obiee We can use prefered drill down path only for one column, how do i develop the functionality they shows 3 Columns in last drill down???
Hi
Select all the three columns as drill down keys in the city. This should resolve.
No need to create separate hierarchy.
Hope this helped/ answered.
Regards
MuRam

Drill-down lost in Report Builder
Ever since the CFMX7.02 upgrade, we have lost the ability to
drill-down on the Report Builder reports which previously had
drill-down capability. I am referring to summary lines which
contained a link to the detail. Has anyone experienced this and is
there a fix for it?Do you choose PDF instead of flash paper as the output
format? By some reason, the drill-down function does not work in
flash paper format.
Good luck,

I'm working with a crosstab report displaying summary accounts on each row & current and prior year on each column. I'd like to create a drill down function for each of the summary accounts rows so that when I click on a summary account, the dept# that made up this summary total will be displayed either on a separate report or below the summary account that I click.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
This is what I want to create:
SUMMARY ACCOUNT FY2014 FY2013
600001 - SALARIES 500 380 (i.e. able to drill down to dept below when 600001 is clicked)
701000 - ER DEPT 200 175
757000 - CATH LAB 150 210
848000 - INFO SYSTEM 100 65
851000 - ACCOUNTING 50 50
710002 - BENEFITS 150 140
881000 - HUMAN RES 135 130
900000 - OTHERS 15 10
711003 - SUPPLIES XXX XXXThank you for the referenced thread. I've copied your answer on the thread to this reply below.
However, I do have a few question in following thru your instructions:
1. How do you procede with the 1st 3 bullets below?
2. What or where is the Business Object Platform?
3. What or where is the "Repository"
Please advice. Thank you.
Here are a few ways you can drill-down into a cross-tab (all of them are workarounds by the way).
The first method is using Report Parts or ‘Another Report Object’ and the second method is using an ‘OpenDoc’ URL
Both the methods need the target report (report that is opened when drilled into) to have the same groups as the Crosstab
The ‘Another Report Object’ can be setup in the following way:
The target report needs to saved to the BusinessObjects Platform first
Open the target report in the Crystal Report designer from the ‘Repository’
Assuming the groups have been setup properly, click on any field in the details section and ‘Copy’ (Ctrl+C)
Open the Report with the Crosstab
Right-click the Summary Field on the Crosstab and go to ‘Format Field’ > Hyperlink
Then Check ‘Another Report Object’ and click on ‘Paste’
All the required information should be populated automatically
This is how the Data Context should look like:
“/”+GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Country”)+”/”+ GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Region”)+”/”+ GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Customer Name”)
Where “Country” and “Region” are rows in the Crosstab, “Customer Name” is a column in the crosstab.
Similarly, “Country”, “Region” and “Customer Name” are groups on the target report
So, the above formula would make sure the report drills-down to the last group
The next method using ‘OpenDoc’ makes use of the opendocument URL and passes values from the Crosstab to the target report’s parameters
Here’s how we can set this up:
The basic design of the Main report and the target report would be the same as in above, however we would need to create parameters that correspond to the groups on the target report
In this case, we would create three parameters – Country, Region and Customer Name
We would use these parameters as filters on the target report and our record selection formula would look like this:
{Country} = {?Country} and {Region} = {?Region} and {Customer Name} = {?Customer Name}
We would then link the Main reports ‘Country’, ‘Region’ and ‘Customer Name’ with these parameters
Now on the Main report Right-click the Summary Field on the Crosstab and go to ‘Format Field’ > Hyperlink
Check the option ‘A Website on the Internet’ and click on the formula button in ‘Hyperlink information:”; the formula should be as follows:
“/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=6472&lsSCountry=”&GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Country”)&” &lsSRegion=”&GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Region”)&” &lsSCustomer+Name=”&GridRowColumnValue(“Customer.Customer Name”)
When any summary value is clicked in the Cross-tab, the corresponding Country, Region and Customer Name are passed as values to the parameters of the target report
Hope this helps!

Gurus,
I am trying to add drill down to my Crystal Report, I know this can be achieved by using Hyperlink but the button for drill down is disabled. How can I enable this achieve the drill down function. Please find attach file for your convince.
Faisal BalochHi Faisal........
Please check the below explanation.......
The Report Part Drilldown option
The Report Part Drilldown option lets you define a hyperlink so that the Report Part Viewer can emulate the drill-down functionality of Crystal Reports. The Report Part Viewer displays only destination objects; therefore, to make drill down work, you need to define a navigation path from a home object to one or more destination objects. When you have multiple destination objects, they must all reside in the same report section.
The Report Part Drilldown option does not affect the DHTML page viewers since the option emulates the default Crystal Reports behavior for drill down (which the page viewers already support). Page viewers, however, do not limit which objects are displayed—they always show all report objects.
Note: Use the Report Part Drilldown option only to navigate between objects in the same report.
Because the Report Part Viewer shows only destination objects, you must define Initial Report Part Settings (that is, a default home object) for a report before your Report Part Drilldown hyperlinks can work. A report's Initial Report Part Settings define the object that appears first in the Report Part Viewer. Think of this object as the place you'll begin your path of drill-down hyperlinks from.
To define Initial Report Part Settings
Open the report whose default home object you want to define.
Right-click the object you want to set as the default home object and select Copy from its shortcut menu.
On the File menu, click Report Options.
In the Initial Report Part Settings area of the Report Options dialog box, click Paste Link.
The program pastes the name and data context of the report object you selected as your home object into the appropriate fields.
Tip: For more information about data contexts, see Data context formats.
Include another object from the same section of the report by entering a semi-colon (;) and typing the name of the object.
Click OK.
To create a Report Part Drilldown hyperlink
Note: Before you begin this procedure, be sure to read Setting up navigation to acquaint yourself with the limitations of creating this type of hyperlink.
Open a report and select the intended destination object; then click the Format button on the Expert Tools toolbar.
Tip: You can also do this by selecting Format Field from the Format menu.
In the Format Editor, click the Hyperlink tab.
In the DHTML Viewer Only area, select Report Part Drilldown.
The "Hyperlink information" area changes to show the fields available for this type of hyperlink.
The Available Fields area shows only the sections and report objects you can select for drill down. In general, these objects include field objects, charts, maps, bitmaps, cross-tabs, and text objects contained in the next section down (that is, for example, objects in group two when the object you selected is in group one).
Note: The Available Fields area does not show suppressed report objects.
In the Available Fields area, select the section or report object(s) you want to use as your drill down destination.
Tip: Use the Report Explorer to quickly identify the default names assigned to each of your report objects. To open the Report Explorer, click its button on the Standard toolbar.
You can add all the objects in a section by selecting the section node. If you expand the section node, you can select one or more of the objects that it contains.
Use the arrow buttons to move the selected section or object(s) to the Fields to Display area.
For ease of identification, the program creates a section node in the Fields to Display area. This node contains the objects that you selected in the Available Fields area.
If you want to add another object to the Fields to Display area, select it in the Available Fields list and drag it into position.
Note:
The position an object has in the Fields to Display area determines how it appears in the Report Part Viewer; top to bottom in the Fields to Display area equates to left to right in the viewer. Use the arrows above the Fields to Display area to change the order of objects. (Note that a programmer can alter this default behavior through the PreserveLayout property of the Report Part Viewer.)
The Fields to Display area can contain only one section at a time. If you try to add a second section or an object from a second section, it replaces any existing section in the Fields to Display area.
Click OK.
You have established a hyperlink from your report's home object to a destination object or objects. In the Report Part Viewer, you will see the home object first, and when you click it for drill down, you will see the destination object(s).

Drill Down functionality not Availible on Column Chart Bars
Hi Guys,
I have about 10 Webi 4.0 reports which are all column charts and are all made with drill down functionality enabled on them.
The issue we are facing is that we need all the reports have drill down functionality available on the column bars and axis values (ex. "drill down to date" is available when mousing over the bars and axis values.)
However, reports which have variable measures on them do not have drill down functionality available on the actual column bar in the chart, drill down is only available when mousing over the axis values. Now, I created the variable measure on the universe level as an object to check if having the object pulled into the report instead of a variable would enable the drill down function on the chart but this did not work either, still having the same issue
Its important for us to have the consistency of the functionality being available on the bars and axis because it is more user friendly.
If anyone has ever faced this issue I'd really appreciate your input on how this can be fixed.
Thanks in advance!

try this
/*SELECT FROM dbo.OPOR TT*/
declare @docNum as int

Drill down Functions in powerpivot
Does powerpivot offer drill down functions?
Hi Dionisis,
As
Gerhard Brueckl said, most of the reports types and many of the features such as drill down require an Analysis Services cube as the data source. Here are some useful links for your reference.

Drill Down Functionality in Crosstab in CRE
Hello Experts,
I have a requirement in which the data arrangement by itself is in a crosstab format. Along with this crosstab, Drill down functionality is needed. In CRE, is this possible, if yes, how?
Sample data shown below. Need to further drill down on Accounts(for e.g.).
Accounts Levels Description Product Currency Code KF1
100 5 Cash Pt 1 INR 789
101 7 Cash1 Pt 2 INR 654
102 7 Cash2 Pt 3 INR 935
103 8 Cash3 Pt 4 INR 32
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
arjunHi Arjun,
Unlike a Group, Cross-tabs do not have drill-down functionality.
The only workarounds are to either create a Manual Cross-tab using Groups or on the existing Cross-tab use openDoc URLs to hyperlink to another 'Detail' report which acts as the report that is drilled-down into.

How to setup the drill down on union report
Hi,
I'm setting the union report.
I want to set the drill down to another report.
But I can't setup it.
Would you please tell me how to setup.
Thank you.Hi Hemlatha
In Crystal Reports, to prevent the ability to drill down into a subreport when published on the Web, add a text object that is filled with blank spaces, created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter' for line returns, to eclipse the subreport.
This workaround is applicable only to subreports that does not grow in size. For example, subreports that display only a chart or graph.
Steps to Add a Text Object over a Subreport
1. In the Crystal Reports Designer of the main report, insert a text object over the subreport.
2. Resize the text object to be the same size or a little larger than the subreport object on the main report.
3. Fill the text object with blank spaces created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter'. This is necessary because resizing a text object without
the blank spaces will not maintain its size when it has been published on the Web.
====================
NOTE:
You can format the text object with a hyperlink to another report, another file or a URL.
====================
Now, when the Crystal report is previewed on the Web, the text object that fully eclipses the subreport will prevent the ability to drill down into it.

Thanks

Edited by: Sushma Reddy on Feb 9, 2010 9:44 PMHi,
Try to create a Class e.g Time in universe and objects to that class as year, quarter,month as
Year Object -> data type -> D/N
select To_date('sysdate','YYYY) as year from dual
Month object-> data type -> D/N
select to_date)'sysdate','MM') as month from dual;
Quarter -> data type -> D/N
case when @select(Time/Month) in (1,2,3) then q1
when @select(Time/Month) in (4,5,6) then q2
when @select(Time/Month) in (7,8,9) then q4
when @select(Time/Month) in (10,11,12) then q4
endcase
Then create a hierarch in tools -> hiearchy ->custom hierarchy and add the above class there then in any report (Deski/WebI)
you will get the above hierarchy and use it according to your requirement.

Error Message appears when drilling down from a report.
Hi,
I am using CR XI R2.
I have an rpt file that displays a chart from a sub report.
I tested it on the CR designer and report viewer - works ok.
When I display this report in my .Net application, I get an error message when drilling down from this chart : "The Report Application Server failed"
When looking at the log files I see this error message:
4 19 13:11:14.770 5336 5564 (\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp:11622): CReportHandler::buildReportViewerError: CSResultException thrown. ErrorSrc:"CRPE" FileName:"\servers\ras\dtsagent\reporthandler.cpp" LineNum:11618 ErrorCode:997 ErrorMsg:"" DetailedErrorMsg:""
This is a Viewer error - but when drilling down from the Report Viewer I don't get this exception.
Does anyone know what this mean?Too strange and my require a phone support case;
http://store.businessobjects.com/store/bobjamer/DisplayProductByTypePage&parentCategoryID=&categoryID=11522300
Three ideas:
1) Install CR designer on one of the boxes where this does not work and try to run the report there
2) Add a line to your code and save out the report just after your database logon once ( .saveAs). try to run this report in the CR designer.
3) Use the [modules|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100006252802008E/modules.zip] utility to compare the runtime - both CR and db client between computers that work and those that do not.

How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query
Dear All,
How the Drill down functionality works if the source is Bex Query through the query browser in Dashboard 4.1
Please let me know process.
Thanks
Regards,
SaiHi sai,
Drill down can be done by two ways.
1. you need to bring all the data in one shot to the spreadsheet and then by using the components you can achieve it. Below given link explains in detailed about that.
Filtering Through Combo Box
2. you can use different set of query to pass the value from one set to another to fetch the data using the prompt. please check the below which explain them.
Difference between "When value Becomes & When value Changes"
