Link to Interactive Report Using Report Column as Parameter Value

Question

I'm using Apex version 4.0.
I have an interactive report that I want to link to a second interactive report in order to create drill down functionality.
The user will click on a column in the main report called "Insurance Company Name" which will link to the second interactive report and filter for that Insurance Company.
I'm just trying to pass the Insurance Company Name to a Page 0 Item and use that value to filter the drill down report. Pretty simple. I don't want to create a declarative filter on the second IR, if that makes sense. My query for the drill down report is something like:
SELECT *
FROM MARKETS
WHERE INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME = :P0_INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME
I can't seem to get this to work-I've created the column link on the Insurance Company Name field in my main report.
The values I have are:
Link Text: #INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME#
Target: URL
URL: f?p=&APP_ID.:5:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::P0_INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME:#INSURANCE_COMPANY_NAME#
It links to the drill down report but the drill down report is not filtering for the Insurance Company Name selected. It's not picking up the value for some reason.
Thanks for the help.

Answer 1

Possibly the value is NOT in session state when you call the dropdown.. Open up your session state menu option in the developer menu and see if there is a value in the Page 0 item..
Why don't you just create a page item on the second IR page and use that in your Select statement instead?
