PDF Drill Through Yields Different Results than HTML

[jb2321]

We recently came across a report that seems to spit out different data based off of the format you run it in.  We have a summary crosstab report that lists a total count of people for a certain fund code within a selected year. We have enabled drill through functionality on the total count field.  When you run this report in HTML and click on a drill-able count number for let's say the fund code of 'ABC' the drill through report launches and I get a list of the people associated with fund code 'ABC', exactly how it should work.  When I run the same report in a PDF format and click on the count number for fund code 'ABC' my drill through report opens with a list of every person from every fund code.  Has anyone seen or heard of something like this before?

Thanks for your help on this.

You can render different things depending on the format of the report...I'd check for that in your source report. Have a look for variable(s) based on ReportOutput().

If I understand correctly, when your parent report is pdf, it doesn't pass selection parameter values to a child report. That's to be expected, PDF doesn't hold any contextual data, nor is it able to transmit it further...

Hi Nimrod Avissar,

That's exactly what is happening, I'll just have to make sure they execute the summary report in HTML and not in PDF.  Thanks for the reply.

Hi Nimrod,
So drill through is not possible if the user will run the report in PDF format.
