Title: Description attribute showing with drill down
Post by: MikeG on 13 Oct 2014 02:21:36 AM
Hi,

I have a drill down report and it shows a description attribute for a drillable item at a top level but looses it when I drill down

for example

           Member         Attribute (Description)

            Car line         Ford


Double click on Car line and I get


             40100            =
             40200            =


I would like it like this

             40100            Fiesta
             40200            Focus

A description attribute does exist for members at this level

any ideas would be gratefully recieved, the users think it can't be that hard but I have tried everything

Hi,
solved this , easy, in the levels I had created their was a desciption field that I used in the report, however further down there was a field 'Member description' when I used this instead all worked as planned.
Learnt a lot about advanced drill down though !
