Drill through on Bar Chart: Nothing happens on-click (Cognos 11)

[deidovalds]

Hi All,

I have a bar chart, I made the necessary settings to set-up a drill-through. When I run the report and click the bars of the chart, nothing happens.
I tested the drill through on Cognos 10.2.1 by doing the same approach, and it works. I also tried exporting the report and package from 10.2.1 and importing it to cognos 11, and the drill-through works.

Appreciate much the help from you guys!

Thanks!

Hi,

Currently drill-through is disabled in any report that is running with full interactivity mode enabled. Please see the post below:

I tried the same work around but it worked partially,
I have 2 charts in my report. When I change the full interactive mode value to be No, it works well with one bar chart but does not work with the other one. It changes the mouse pointer when i hover on the other bar graph but does not open the drill through report.
Whereas, if i change the value back to yes, i can drill through using the new process on both the charts. 

Am i doing something wrong?

Hi,

You should be able to drill through from multiple containers on your page, regardless of whether your full interactive mode setting is no or yes. If you temporarily remove the drill through definition on the chart that works, does the drill-through on the other chart then start working? If so, and other than double-checking your drill-through definitions to make sure they are defined correctly, this sounds to me like a defect to me?

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback.

I still don't know what was the defect. I created the target report again and added the drill through definitions again. it worked well
