Capture chart selection into a parameter

[briancole]

Hi,

I have a report containing a bar chart. When a user clicks on a bar in the chart, I want to capture their selection into a parameter so I can use it to control other reports in my workspace (similar to how you can pass the data item to a parameter of another report as a drill through)

Is this possible?

Thanks,
Brian

Hi Brian,

I am not a Cognos guru, so i dont know if i am right but what i feel is Report Studio and Workspace are different capabilities of cognos business intelligence so i m not sure if your requirement is possible.

Cognos Gurus please guide us with the same.

Hi all,

This is still an issue for me. Does anyone have any ideas?

What I need to achieve is:
1. User opens workspace
2. User clicks on item in chart in Widget A
3. Widget B filters based upon the selection from Widget A
4. User = happy

Thanks,
Brian

you can use a common prompt for your two reports/widgets. when user select a value for that prompt, it will filter both widgets.

or you can try to use active reports.
