Hi,

any idea how to define a drill throgugh on a Row Number in Report studio (not on the Row number header I want to define the drill through on the Row number list column body)

I have a parent report with Row number and columns. when I run the report I can see report output with Row numbers.

on the output if I click on a Row number for ex 1, I want to see only that row data.

I have created the chiled report and tried to define the drill through to parent report but when I create the drill through I can create it on Row Number column title only but I want this on the Row number list column body.

Any idea??

I don't have cognos in front of me right now but can you try unlocking (click on the Lock button to unlock it) and then try it?

You may need to replace the Row Number object in your list with a Query Calculation using a running-count() summary.

Hi MFGF,

Thanks for your help. running-count function worked fine to get the row number and define the drill through on row number.

Here when I run the report if I click on row number 1 report has to produce that row info and if I click on row number 2 report has to produce row number 2 info only,
but here when I click on any row number report is showing only one row info  that is which I have selected the first row number.

any idea why it is doing like this??

I have Region and Location in my report with some of other dimensions and measures.

I have used Region to get the running-count
running-count ([Region] for report)

parameters are:
(?Region? = '<All>' or [Region] in ?Region?)
(?Location? = '<All>' or [Location] in ?Location?)

above 2 values I am passing on the drill through. Drill through parameters method I have selected as "pass data item value"

Why not just set the filters as:

[Region] in ?Region?
[Location] in ?Location?

and make the filter Optional.
