Drill-down report with variable link criteria

I have a report in which the rows displayed will depend on criteria chosen in a prior report. However, there will be more than one row selection report that the detail report can be called from. For example: Choose a salesman from a list box, display orders for that salesman; choose two dates, display orders between those dates.
So the requirement doesn't fit neatly into drill-down example in the tutorial, in which the detail report is tied to a particular value entered in the master report. Rather, I need the underlying query to have something like "WHERE <criteria>". What's the best way to handle the passing of <criteria> within and between the various reports?
Thanks
Andy

I'm not sure you've understood the question. It is the rows I want to differ, not the columns.
When Report 1 is called from Report 101 I want it to "SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE salesman = <selected-salesman>".
When Report 1 is called from Report 102 I want it to "SELECT ... FROM ... WHERE the_date BETWEEN (<date-range>)".
and so on for potentially three or four selection methods.
It's the WHERE criteria I need to pass, not the column expressions.

  • Drill down Report with Prompts

    I need to create a simple dashboard report in OBIEE analytics, which takes user inputs ( prompts )  for a YEAR , STATE ( & hierarchy) and displays Population
    State Hierarchy is ---> State -- City --Zip code
    Format of report is simple
    User Input    ( Section 1 )
    Year =  Year123   (  Mandatory)
    State = State 1  ( Optional )is
    City = City1 ( Optional )    ( State will be  mandatory as this drop down gets populated from State value
    Population Report  ( This should be initial view with a given Year input and any othe optional ones )                        Section 2
    Sate
    Population
         +State 1
    323222
         +State 2
    4343434
    And drill down on State should be feasible
    Questions & Issues I am facing
    1  Do i have to create a dimensional hierarchy  Column at Presentation layer to enbale drill down  . I have the related data  in 2 dimension tables ( Time  &  Region ) and the relation in Population Fact table
    2 )  If yes , how do i pass  user prompts to this report ... I was able to do using selection step  for the state ..But not able to pass the City and Year
    3 ) Year is not part of Report Display ..but an input ..How do i use the prompt for it .
    i was able to get the report in simple table format ( no drill down ) , with prompts using isPrompted ..But i am lost with the Dimensional Hierarchy + Prompt .
    4 )Is Dimensional Hierarchy needed for Drill Down  ? How do i pass all the user inputs ( as above )  to it
    Please suggest if there is any alternative

    The problem is with drill down . We need two types of drill down action link . One for 'All' to show all values and another is for 'Y','N' values. I can use go url for this scenario however, I am using chart and the column is a measure, I cannot make the data type html otherwise chart will be blank. I cannot use condition in the first drill down as it does not show 'All' values from union. only 'Y','N' .

  • Export current view or drill down report

    My Enviroment: CR XI, Delphi,  ActiveXReportViewer Hello together,how can I export the current view or a drilled down report with the COM object.I didn't find a way to get the current view object (IReport) I think  there must be a solution, because the default export method can export the current view.Thanks Rainer

    My setup isn't exactly the same but this might help you:  I had this problem with Crystal.Net in Visual Studio 2005.  This link helped me resolve it.  http://diamond.businessobjects.com/node/1956
    My export routine used to just export the ReportDocument object.  But this object does not contain any information on the currently displayed group level.  So when I built a report modeled very closely after the sample 'World Sales Report.rpt' my export routine would only export the main view even if I was drilled down into other group levels of the report.  I learned that the CrystalReportsViewer object is what contains the drill-down level in the ViewInfo.ViewContext object.  So the link above solved this for me. 
    As a side note, I also had to manipulate suppressing and unsuppressing sections on export which can't be done via the CrystalReportsViewer object.  So I had to save a copy of the current ViewInfo object to local variable.  Then I modified the ReportDocument object to unsuppress and suppress certain sections.  Then I set this modified ReportDocument object as the RecordSource of the CrystalReportsViewer object and passed as parameters the new NonHTTPCachedReportSource object and the saved ViewInfo object to my new export routine.  This allowed me to preserve the drill-down view properties but apply it to a different ReportSource.  I can supply (c#) code if needed.  ( I don't usually show the ReportHeader or PageFooter sections in my online view of reports but I need to show them when I export a report)...

  • How to group by a number of visible rows in drill down report

    hi,
    i have a drill down report with no detail row. 
    I need to control the number of rows shown on the page based on a variable that a user supplies, however it  needs to be only visible rows.
    if I add an outmost group based on an expression like this one:
    =Ceiling(RowNumber(
    "table1")/Parameters!recordsPerPage.Value)
     it will count all rows - visible or not.
    any help would be appreciated.
    thanks
    Inna

    Hi Inna,
    Based on my research, a drilldown report is a layout design that at first hides complexity and enables the user to toggle conditionally hidden report items to control how much detail data they want to see. Drilldown reports are used to change the report
    layout interactively. So it wouldn’t affect the rows displayed in the outmost group. Though some rows are hidden when the report is initially run, it will still count them. This is by design.
    Furthermore, if I understand correctly, you also expect the outmost group is a dynamic group depends on the drilldown action, right? As per my understanding, this function still cannot be achieved at this moment.
    Thanks for your understanding.

  • How to call a drill down report using hyperlink ?

    Can anyone please give an example to call a drill down report using hyper link in Reports 10g ?
    Regards
    Capri !!!

    Hi,
    I've been using this approach in a couple of reports and it works great with one problem. Even if I include the srw.set_hyperlink_attr('target=_new") it still launches the drill report in the current window. When the user hits the back button it doesn't take them back to the main report it takes them back to the reports/rwservlet? page. Can you see if there is anything I'm doing wrong...would be a really cool report if I could force it to open a new window.
    Here is what my code looks like:
    srw.set_hyperlink(:P_SERVER || 'dwn&report=transaction2_v8.rdf' ||
    '&PARAM_COMP_NUM=1' || '&PARAM_ACTV1=' || TRIM(:actvty_cd) || '&PARAM_ACTV2=&PARAM_ACTV3=&PARAM_ACTV4=&PARAM_ACTV5=&PARAM_ACTV6=' ||
    '&PARAM_START_DATE=&PARAM_END_DATE=' || '&PARAM_FY_NUM=' || vYear || '&PARAM_PERIOD=0' || '&PARAM_ACTVTY_GRP=%20' ||
    '&PARAM_LIST=%20' || '&PARAM_START_ACCT_CAT=' || TRIM(vCat) || '&PARAM_END_ACCT_CAT=' || trim(vCat2)|| '&PARAM_SYS_CODE=%20' ||
    '&PARAM_SRC_CODE=%20' || '&PARAM_DATA_TYPE_CD=P' || '&PARAM_ACT_STATUS=%20');
    SRW.SET_TEXT_COLOR('blue');
    srw.set_hyperlink_attrs('target=_new');
    Also I get different behavior if the user saves the PDF and opens the report through their pdf reader.
    Thanks for your help

  • Drill down report issues

    Is there a solution for displaying fields only on the drill down report with out it displaying on the top main report.
    Main report columns:
    case id casename location Assignee Asigneegroup
    when i click on case id drill down report appears
    Drill down report columns:
    Task id taskname Assignee assignee group
    my question is that i dont want to see Assignee and assignee group on the main report, I just want to see those columns on drill down report. If i remove those 2 columns on the main report (drill up report), then those columns are not appearing on the drill down report as well.

    i think a drillfilter will solve the problem
    try to add a column and add drillfilter in this column
    good luck

  • Calendar with Drill Down Report

    Hello,
    Everybody.
    I am new to Application Express.
    Please any one tell me step by step how to make calendar with drill down report.
    Waiting for valuable reply.
    Thanks
    Rahul

    Not sure if this is what you wanted, but I have links on a calendar, and when you click them, it branches to another page with details about the event.
    To do this, create a calendar region. The SQL statement should have at least 2 columns: The date of the "event", and the text to display as a link. You should also choose a primary key that you want to pass to the drill down report when the user clicks. Something like this:
    select hiredate date_scheduled,
              ename display_column,
              empno
       from empIn the calendar attributes of that region, there is a place to designate which column is the date, and which should be displayed. Go down a little further and set the column link. Put the page you want to show the drilldown report on, and set any variables you need to.
    Hopefully that helped. Its pretty simple once you play around with it - start simple and then once you get the hang of it, make it more complex.

    Hello,
    Try making your hyperlink in the master report look like this:
    http://webserver/dev60cgi/rwcgi60.exe?detail+p_contactid=&<contact_id1>
    The &<column_name> reference in a hyperlink will tell Reports to substitute the current value of that column in the resultant string.

  • Passing Filter criteria parameters to drill-down reports

    Hi,
    I have a scenario, where my base report prompts a filter criteria for date range (from & to date) based on this criteria, I populate my base report with data's.
    Suppose if i have a drill-down, can i make use of the filter criteria value selected in the base report and pass the same value to my next-level drill-down report as criteria.
    Please let me know if this is possible. Also, let me know if there is any alternate approach available to achieve the same.
    My environment details are provided below.
    BAM (11.1.1.3)
    Report: Summary crosstab
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,
    DK

    Hi pypawar,
    Thanx for ur reply.
    We are not using heirarchical drilling in our case, we are using another report for drill-down.
    I will give some more background for this issue.
    We have a scenario where we used the date filter for getting the from and to dates based on which we display our Master report (cross-tab).
    Further, when drilling down from the master report to child report(which uses the same dataobject as master); we are not able to pass the dates input that were provided in master report as filter criteria.
    While assigning parameters in the drill-down for the child report, we are not able to find an option to pass the date value selected in the master report to child report for filter criteria.
    In an alternate approach, what we did to resolve the above issue was to pass the primary key fields of the data object while drill-down. But while passing primary keys, we realised there are cases where large number of values are getting passed as filter criteria to child reports and in some case it fails since there large number values getting passed as filter criteria.(in our case the chance of this value could be few 100's to 1000's). You can find details for this error in CACHEEXCEPTION during drill-down in BAM reports
    Please let me know if this is possible. Also, let me know if there is any alternate approach available to achieve the same.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks & regards,
    DK
