Title: How to use drill down functionality?
Post by: lifzgud on 24 Sep 2009 02:00:52 AM
Hi i have a report in excel 200 single sheet
It has 5 values under the regions column
I want that when i click on that region a separate report opens for that region.
I read that it requires passing of some parameters.Could somebody please guide me on this?

drill downs are a property of the data column, you can define it.  look at the report user guide.

they are also only supported for html format reports

Hi!
The way I read your problem, I think you should use drill through...

If you want to drill through to another report, you need to make a drill through definition to your target report and doing this you either pass the parameter value or the data item value.

You can drill through in HTML or PDF.

Hope this could work for you.
