Title: Passing parameters between Active Reports
Post by: Seveman on 31 Jan 2019 01:05:29 PM
Hi,
Hello, I'd appreciate some help.

I have an Active Report that contains global data and an Active Report with a data deck to select Europe and Rest of the World (RoW)data. The reasons I'm using 2 different Active Reports are ease of ditribution and also performance as having 1 Active Report with all data makes the reports slow.

I want to be able to drill down from the Global to Europe or RoWby passing a parameter (variable or whatever) based on a click made by the user in the Global report so that the target report will show the desired data. The seleciotn on the target report can be done now by a data drop down that controls the data deck.

So far I do not know how to do that. If I use the standard drill-though method, I get prompted for parameters and of course the target report has no parameters. There is an "Application drill-though" option  but I have no idea how to use that.

Thanks in advance for any ideas
