Drill down group level question

Post Author: Ksecrist
CA Forum: Charts and Graphs
Hello,
I am relatively new at using Crystal but have self taught on how to use the drill down feature with charts. my problem is that I don't understand the drilldowngrouplevel = <>1 or =0 or <2 values. Are there set #'s for the drilldowngrouplevels? could someone assist in this?
Thanks,
Kevin

I'm sure you have this figured out but just in case... In the Formula Editor>Functions>Print State-->DrillDownGroupLevel. Create a formula (Test?) using the DrillDownGroupLevel function. If you place this test formula in your report and drill down you can tell which level of drill down you are at. If you wanted to suppress something at a certain level you could suppress by DrillDownGroupLevel = 3.

PowerView option - Drill Down one level at a time also hide the columns other than the hierarchy columns

Hi All,
I have a simple PowerView report (Excel 2013) in which I have a hierarchy (three columns), an image column, and a Value column:
When I change the Show Levels option to "Rows - Enable Drill Down One Level at a Time", image column also hide.
I want to keep the image column displayed while drill down/up to the hierarchy.
Is it possible? If yes, then how?
Thanks & Regards,
Muhammad Ehsan

Hi Muhammad,
According to your description, you have images at child level. Now you want to have the images displayed when have the child level items collapsed. Right?
In this scenario, when you show the data in a matrix in Power View, those images, Size ID and Prices have been added into a child group. If we enable drill down, all the items within the child group will be collapsed. We can't change it at all in Power
View.
For your requirement, we suggest you design your report using SQL Server Data Tools in Reporting Services. In Reporting Services, we can have specific columns toggled by the parent item.

Need help with Group Headings and showing them on drill down.

Hi all:
I think this is a simple question and feel that I should already know the answer but for some reason it eludes me. What I would like to know is the proper way to hide/display group headings and have them show up on drill down BUT not repeat on each group header.
What I have for grouping is as follows:
Group Header #1 u2013 Sales Rep
Group Header #2 u2013 Customer
    Group Header #3 u2013 Product Class
      Group Header #4 u2013 Stock Code
        Details
      Group Footer #4 u2013 summary calculated on this line
    Group Footer #3 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #2 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #1 u2013 summary calculated on this line
My goal is to have my report show only the lines listed below by default and allow the user to drill down group by group to the details section:
Group Header #1 u2013 Sales Rep
Group Footer #2 u2013 summary calculated on this line
Group Footer #1 u2013 summary calculated on this line
If anyone could offer any help it would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

click section expert, then for example of GH3, highlight it, then click on the formula box for suppression, and put in the code....
Drilldowngrouplevel < 3
The result will be that this GH3 is suppressed whenever the report is showing GH1 and 2 but not 3.
In addition to this, you must Hide(Drill-down ok) GH3. This is also done in the section expert.
Then just do the same for GF3, and for GH4/GF4 make sure you use...
Drilldowngrouplevel < 4

IPhone: Looking for a 3 level TableView drill down example

Hi
The TableView drill down example available at Apple's Dev Center, as well as all the other examples of drill downs I've seen, only explains how to do a drill down with just 2 levels. The first view is a table view, and when the user selects an item in the list, another view with more information about that item is loaded.
However, I'm looking for an example on how to do a drill down with 3 levels, or more. The two first views should be regular table views and the final view can be some other view.
I'm currently struggling, trying to understand how to use only one TableViewController for the two first levels. Surely this must be possible, or do I have to create one TableViewController class for each level in the drill down?

I'll piggy-back on this question as mine is the same and I don't see any responses as of yet.
To continue drilling down (3rd level; maybe also 4th/5th, ending in a textView), are subsequent levels down just the first detail view simply reconfigured with fresh data from an additional array, or....should another (and another, and another...) unique detail view be created for each level and used instead? Is one method faster for the user or less trouble for the app writer, short or long term?
If it matters, the layout can be either programmatic or via the Interface Builder - just need a clue which direction to pursue.
If someone could just give a quick answer it would help a struggling new developer, thanks

Line Chart cannot drill down on legends and lines

I am doing a drill down Group report which will show the Sum of Last year's Sales By Country, State and city over a period of time(by date) for throughout the year 2007. Every group will have a line chart with Data title as Sum of Last year's Sales ($), Group Title as Date and legends displaying countries (or states or cities) as USA,UK,Australia. etc.. I have same sort of line chart for State and City as well. So, I got 3 levels of groups with a line-chart displayed in every group level.
Now, the problem is my drill down would not work on chart lines or legends as it would do for a 2-dimensional data chart like a bar-chart or pie-chart. In the Chart Expert->Data->Layout:Group ->in the On Change Of event selection I am able to specify either Sales.Country (or) Sales.country and Sales.Sales.State. Both options would not let me get the correct linechart with correct data and drill-down working as well.
The only work-around i got is to display the line chart with legends and showing the Country(or State or City) names in a field in the Group Footer. The drilling will work on those fields, but not on the legends or lines of the line chart. This make my report showing the Country names twice once on legend (with no drill-down) and once on group-footer(with drilling ability to groups below) which is untidy.
Have anyone tried to make a drill-down crystal report on a 3-dimensional data like this? The World Sales report in Crystal reports C:\Program...\BO\Samples\General Business\World Sales Report is the best example of how i would like to see my charts to drill down. However, they drill down across a 2-dimensional data. I am publishing this Crystal Reports in Business Objects Infoview.

Please re-post if this is still an issue

Drill down

hello,
I have a hierarchy dimension "Categorization" with following levels :
Category >> Area >> Details
Category >> Sub Category >>Details
( Area and "Sub Category" are both children of Category )
on Answers side, i have a simple analysis with 2 columns "Category" , "some measure" . when I click on Category , it automatically drills down to Area.
question is :
1) how can I make it drill by default into Sub Category , not into Area ?
2) can I make it more flexible for end-user ? let them choose where to drill down from Category (Area / Sub Category ) ?
using OBIEE 11g.
Thank you

I have tried using Preferred Drill Path , but no success
in fact :
"You can use the Preferred Drill Path tab to identify the drill path to use when Oracle BI Presentation Services users drill down in their data requests. You should use this only to specify a drill path that is outside the normal drill path defined by the dimensional level hierarchy. It is most commonly used to drill from one dimension to another."

Wow. That post almost made my eyes bleed. You may want to add some white space for readability.
Anyways - as Falk said. You should move or re-post this in the [Crystal Reports Design|SAP Crystal Reports; forum. They specialize in this sort of thing. Us dev guys here make sure we can see the chart without errors and don't do much beyond that.

Webi Drill down issue - SQL AS

Hi Guys,
Did anyone encounter the following issue?
There are 4 dimensions(one of them is Date) and 1 measure in my Webi Report.
When I drill down from one measure to another, the SUM of that measure will not the same with its upper Level.
For example, Level 1 is:
Country   total sales
China       1000
Then drill down to Level 2:
Region total sales
North    100
South   200
West    300
While, the SUM of total sales of the three region is not equal with China.
Your help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards,
Daniel

1. Please check your SQL Query gives Country - Region Wise perfects output/result or not..............
2. Check any Filter is set or not (from info view/edit Query/universe)
Please check correctly.
Thanks

IPhone - Drill down and down and down...

Using the SimpleDrillDown & TableView examples...
To continue drilling down (3rd level; maybe also 4th/5th, ending in a textView), are subsequent levels down just the first detail view simply looped & reconfigured with fresh data from an additional array (stuffed into DataController), or....should another (and another, and another...) unique detail view be created for each additional level and used instead?
Is one method faster for the user or less trouble for the app writer, short or long term?
If it matters, the layout can be either programmatic or via the Interface Builder - just need a clue which direction to pursue.

Drill down on Hierarchy with Text and Key

Hello Experts,
I have created WebI report on top of Bex Query. I have hierarchy, by default report will show Level1 for hierarchy and then User can drill down to lower levels, but I want to show Key for that hierarchy as well next to hierarchy.
For Example
Profit Center Hierarchy Level 1 (Name) Profit Center Hierarchy Level 1(Key)
If I drill down on Level 2 for Profit Center Hierarchy Name, Profit Center Hier with Key is not changing to Level 2, it is still showing Level 1. I want Key to change dynamically with Name.
If I drill on Level 3 with Name then Key also should change to Level3.
Any ideas???

Hi Ingo,
Thanks for your reply. If I combine two objects in one objects then I cannot use that object for drill down in my report.
I want to drill down for both Key and Text.

Drill down needs to run different request

An existing 5-level drill-down request must be changed to display a different report on drill-down from level 3 and produce this report through level 5. The different report differs in the columns it contains as well as the style and content of the graph. Since the different report is particular to the unique value at level 2, this value must be furnished to the level 3 report for filtering.
I am new enough to the Siebel Analytics/Oracle OBIEE tool that I dont know where to begin looking for an approach to this. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
Cliff

Hello Cliff, I dont have the BI in front of me but the concept is this:
Instead of creating one report and drilling down the 5 levels
You create 5 reports each report showing what you would want to see in that 'level'. Then instead of drilling down you navigate from the first repor tyou created to the second one and then from the second to the third etc.
If you want the reports you navigate to to be filtered by the value you click on you can filter them as "is prompted".
Navigation can be found on properties>column properties>column/value interaction i think in the criteria. You set the repoirt you want to navigate to when the user clicks on a field. You can also enter multiple navigaation targets.

Cash Management Report FF7B - drill-down from planning levels to AP/AR OIs

Hi
I'm configuring cash management and have created all planning levels and groups needed.
All master data, ie GL accounts, vendors and customers, have the correct planning level or group.
I've created all the groupings etc that I need.
I'm running the reports FF7A and FF7B. I have two questions and problems.
1. When running the Liquidity Forecsat for customers and vendors I drill-down to the standard PL or SL planning levels for AP and AR postings respectively. Then I drill into the planning groups correctly (E1-E9 and R1-R8). But when I try to drill into the cash management detail records (or is it the AP/AR line items?) I get "Memo Records: List - List Contains No Data". This happens every time. Should I now see the AP or AP line items? Or should I see some cash management memo records? I have deleted all the cash management data several times and recreated but I still get this problem (using reports RFFDDL00 and RFFDKU00)
When I do the same for purchase orders, purchase requisitions or sales orders I see a Memo Records List which agrees with the previous planning level total and I can then drill into the actiual POs, PRs or SOs from this list without an issue.
2. When running the Cash Position and I do the drill-down to the GL Line Items, I get an enormous list which does not just show the total of items at the previous planning level. Why is this please? Example: a bank account with a balance of £2,000 (shown on the panning level) but with 000's of line items totalling say £5m. Again I have deleted the CM data and recreated but without any improvement to the problem.
Any help anyone can give me with these issues will be very much appreciated.
Thanks.
Wayne

Hi
I have the same trouble with Tcode FF7B. There´s a message "Memo Records: List - List Contains No Data"; bit in the TcodeFF7A, it runs OK. The message appears just witn Tcode FF7A.
Also, There´s all TR data in tables FDSB for GL accounts, FDSR and FDFIEP for customers/vendors.
Can you help me?? can you solved this issue?
Tanks for your Help

Diplaying matrix with drill down (toggle visibility) enabled for 4 row groups

Hello,
I have a matrix in SSRS 2012 with 4 row groups representing a product hierarchy. Product Sub Group, Product, Sub Product and Account Number are the levels of the hierarchy. I have enabled drill down (toggle item visibility) on the first
3 of these levels.
This works great, but my matrix is very wide when it is first rendered. Ideally I want my matrix to expand horizontally as I expand/drill down into each grouping. So when the report is first rendered, and 3 of the groups are invisible, the
matrix will be thin. Is this possible?
Thanks,
Gabe

Hi Gabe,
Based on my test, it cannot achieved in SQL Server Reporting Services (SSRS).
We can hide these column contents in matrix, however, we cannot hide the space in the report. In this situation, I recommend you use table to display these data.
Alternative, we can add a drill-down in the column group to hide the column group when it is first rendered. Please refer to the following screenshot:
If you have any questions, please feel free to let me know.

Question on the drill down report in BI Answers

In BI Answers, I can drill down a summary report based on the hierarchy defined in the Repository. For example, I have a hierarchy of 5 levels, level 1 to level 5. Now column level 1, level 2, and level 3 are shown and clickable. Click on level 1, level 4 column and data is shown. But level 4 column is shown after level 1 instead of after level 3. Is it possible that when click on level 1 , level 4 column will appear after level 3?
