Does anyone know if it's possible to use drill-through function, liked it's used in cubes in Analysis Manager, in a webreport in Reporting Services? With drill-through i mean the functionality to see individual rows from the database for a single cell in the web-interface.
I have a cube that I created in AS2005, I have a hierarchy and drillthrough action defined. When I create a pivot table in Excel based on that cube and I try to drill down on the cell in the pivot table I can not drill down to the next level. I get an error message: Cannot show or hide detail for this selection. My hierarchy is based on Dimension Facility. Facility State is root level, facility zip is next level. When I'm in AS2005 and browse the cube, I'm able to drill down and drill through and see the hierarchy just fine. (Also, I find interesting that when I create a cube in excel, based on a two relational tables, I'm able to drill down. ) I have the Analsysis Services Add-on installed on my machine, so I have the Cube Analysis Menu item. But I can't seem to even drill-through. So, for now all I want to know is why can't I drill-down (i.e. double clicking on a cell and having the data related "explode" in the spread sheet) like it shows in the article written by William Pearson, titled September 12, 2005 Introduction to MSSQL Server Analysis Services: Reporting Options for Analysis Services Cubes: MS Excel 2003 and More. Any help is greatly appreciated!! Queen
I want to allow users to have the ability to drilldown. But it doesn't seem possible outside AS ? am I wrong ? As I have built a cube with drilldown enabled and have tested and is working within AS. However after I've opened it up in excel I and tried to drill down it wasn't actually possible. I could only increase / decrease the report's hierachy and that was all.
Anyone know how I can allow my clients to view drill down values ?
Hi ! I use a OLAP data Source (Analysis Services) I have a problem, I have a bar chart, where I put an action on the data Properties to move to another report B if there is a clik on. My report B need a parameter to execute it self. So In my report A, I add an action which pass the good parameter to the report B. In my report B, I add a parameter (via report menu, reportParameter item), but I don't how link the two (grid and parameter)... because, in my report display, I display a grid, and a text area, in the text area I display the parameter which is pass by the drill through, and when I preview it, the value is ok, but not in my table (grid), I try to add a dimension with ... but I have always an error, and if I put a dimension who is a parameter it is not ok... I don't understand, could you help me !? Thank you
I have a problem on creating a report using Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. I am new to this environment, anybody here can help me on how to enable the "DrillDown" on the table?
When I am using the wizard, the option to enable the drill down will appear, but when I am using "Report Server Project", I really don't know how to enable it, and theres was no table properties on how to enabled it.
I have one dotnet applciation in that i am viewing the report in report viewer. In the same report if the user clicks on one field another report will open. I got a problem with this second report. the image placed on the second report is not coming and if the user clicks on the print button which is on the report viewer the first report is only getting printed. How can I print the second report.
I'm developing an application using SQL Integration Services and SQL Reporting Services. I need to have the ability to drill down from a graph created with Reporting Services.
Let me explain: If I have a pie chart, I want to be able to click in one of the slides and see the information details that could be in another graph or in a table.
I was wondering if when you click on the + in a drill down report, does the report requery the database, or is the report just re-rendered without having to query again?
depending on the answer, performance considerations would be different.
I have created a drill down using a table. The drill down has 13 levels in it which causes a big vacant space between the top level and the mesures on the right hand side. I would like to hide the columns so that when i drill down the measure columns should dynamically move towards the right (as i keep on going to the next level) . I have tried using inscope for hiding that particular column by refering to the previous level group in it but it doesn't seem to be working.
is it possible make drill down reports in crystal my requirement is like i have n rows in my report if am clicking the first column in first row it will list details of that row in between first and second row Same for all the rows
For starters i'm using Microsoft analysis services, integration services and reporting services.
All goes well when creating some general overview reports.
Once i get to making drill down reports with only 2000 rows of data is already starts to work very slow (sometimes takes hours). It seems a data cube is only fast for calculations like SUM, PARALLELPERIOD, ... but if it comes to amount of data it is extreemly weak! 2000 rows is not even alot, i've seen reporting tools beeing able to handle a million rows with drill down function.
I'm thinking that this microsoft tool is just not able to handle reports bigger than 100 rows in it combined with drill down. Please proof me wrong because we already paid for the microsoft tools and it would be a shame if we were not able to use them because of bad functionality...
The machine we work on is quite strong (dual core 2.4 ghz, 4 gig ram, ...)
And yes i know you can make reports clickable so they take the value with them to a next report as a parameters but thats not what we are looking for, we need this drill down to work properly with larger amounts of data.
Is there a way to get the Drill through to work with model viewer controls? Any workaround?
Also, where would I find more complex data mining models for review? SQLServerDataMining site, Microsoft data mining tutorial site, and Data Mining with SQL 2005 book, all checked. Anything else?
I've got a report that drills through to itself, passing different parameters when drilling through. The report work flawlessly in development, flawlessly when you call the report server directly via url, but doesn't always drill through correctly when the report is called using the report viewer on web site. I've gone as far as to create a single aspx page web site that only has this report on it and it still doesn't work.
The drill through works about 1/2 of the time when viewing through the report viewer. But the other half of the time it takes you back to a previously visited parameter, instead of the parameter you clicked on.
So a series of clicks might work like this:
Parameter Clicked - Resultant page
A - Correct "A" page B - Correct "B" page C - Correct "C" page D - Incorrectly taken to "B" page.
It seems to be worse if you throw in any click of the back button.
We thought at first it might be a parameter caching issue, but we turned off all caching and even created a time-stamp parameter to force no caching.
Which attributes or properties determine what is shown when you do click/drill into the details? I'm using the adventure works database as my guide and expected the (default,Identifying or Aggregate ) attributes to control it, can you summarize how the drill details are determined? My test from adventure works sample:
Pull Territory Name and #customers into the report Run it and drill into the details on one of the #customers It returns Acct#, CustType, CustName, #SalesOrders, Sum of a bunch of sales order fields and # customer addresses. The first three are the default attributes for a customer and the last sets look to be the default aggregates for the other relations to customer - Sales Order & Address.
Is it safe to say that it pulls in the default attributes of the immediate child and then aggregates of it's children? Does it go recursively?
So here goes the explnation. The problem is specifying an all parameter in a drill through on the value cell of a matrix for the columns in the matrix that are not expanded.
Here goes the example
Matrix for sales.
Region | Shop | Number of sales. And then financial period would be at the top. Everything is collapsed on load so it looks something like this.
Region1 | | 50
Region2 | | 75
Then you expand Region.
Region1 | Shop1 | 30
Region1 | Shop2 | 20
Region2| | 75
At this point if you click on the 30 for shop 1 is drills through into another report passing parameter Region1, shop1 and financial period. This is perfect. The problem comes in that if you haven't expanded region1 and you click on the 50 it drills into the other report but passes through Shop1 as the shop parameter. How can I get this to pass though an all option for the unexpanded columns in the matrix. This is ofcourse just an example and my matrix has quite a few more column and stuff.
Please guys, any help would be appreciated.
This is Reporting services 2005 linking to SSAS2005 cube.
can anybody tell me if it is possible in RS2005 to create a multi-value parameter in wich it is possibility to drill down? Say i want to use a multi-value parameter to show data for one or more specific years or months. Then the multivalue parameter would contain a list of years, with a + sign next to them, making it possible to drill down to the specific months.
I am new to reporting services. We are creating a report with drill-down capability. We have a Date dimension hierarchy defined as Year - Month - Day.
On the report, we expect reporting services send MDX query to SSAS to get the total sales just for the the year, say 2007, when we click the year 2007. Then it send query just to aggregate sales for that month when we click a month.
But when we build the reports, it looks like it always aggregate for all levels. So the performance is bad to first open the report.
I've created a report with drill downs that are hidden initially. While viewing the report in preview, I'll expand the drill down to see the data.
If I go and print the report, the report is printed as collapsed (which is the initial setting) rather than expanded (which i expanded in the preview).
Is there a way to print in the "what-you-see-is-what-you-get" kinda way expanding and collapsing drill downs?
1)i have drill through report.. a is the parent report.. b is the child/subreport ..
after i click link at parent report -(a), it will go to the child/sub report -(b), but when i want back to parent report,dont have button back... for your infromation,it will hapened when i deploy to server and use report viewer control from data tab in visual studio..
2)when i click the button print at child report(b) , but it will print the parent report, not the child report..
I have a drill through that passes four parameters. Three are passed from the current selections in that reports parameters and the fourth needs to be the customer name they click on in the body of the report so it's passed as Fields!fieldname.Value. When I click on the customer name, the drillthough fires but the report simply doesn't load. If I remove the parameter from the field clicked on and just pass the three parameters, it goes to the drill through correctly and that fourth parameter just sets to the default for that parameter in that report.
I can then simply check that parameter and select the value from the list that is exactly the same as the value I was attempting to pass it in the drill through and report refreshes correctly.
Whatever it is, is something in the manner that the value is passed in the drill through specifically.
I'm building my report using the Report Designer in the SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio. At the moment I've got a single report which consists of 2 tables. The top table shows some summary data and the bottom table shows more detail.
What I'd like to do is design the report so that when the summary data (in the top table) appears, the user can click on a row in the table and this takes them to a new screen which shows more detail about that item, extracted from the bottom table.
Is this possible? I know it's possible to create a drill-through report if you have the high-level summary data in one report and the low-level detailed data in a separate report, but is it possible to create a drill-through report if all the data is in one single report (albeit in 2 separate tables)?
Hi All, Am new to Reporting Services. I need to create some drill down reports. Am unable to find any guidance or tutorials. Anyone please help me to create drill down reports
I have a report which is being cached at the report server level. After the cache expires I use the Null Delievery Method to repopulate cache for faster report viewing. The report has two parameters Brand and Region. Say for eg for a Particular brand A there are two geographies North and South then at a given time the drill down in the report only works for one of the parameters i.e either North or South. For the other the results are erratic i.e half of the rows are not shown or the drill down doesnt work at all. Initially i thought that this was a known issue so installed SP1 to solve but the problem is still there. The report works Flawlessly if run without Caching. This problem only occurs when i turn on the Caching.
Does anyone know the solution to this problem as this is becoming sort of a roadblock.
Hi all, Am new to SQL Server Reporting services. I need to create some Drill down reports. Am unable to find any guidance or tutorials for that. Please help me to create variety of drill down reports.
I have a problem concerning parameters on subreports.
My main report contains a list of meetings. You can click on any meeting name for a drill-through to get a detailed subreport of that meeting. Now I wanna give the user the possibility to enter some parameter values for that subreport, before the subreport opens. But I get an error message that my parameter value (for the subreport) is missing. The funny things is, that when I open the main-report in Visual Studio everthing works fine. I drill-through to the subreport and I'm asked to enter a parameter value (parameter pane) for the subreport which shows up right after that.
I also tried to build a work-around by adding the parameters for the subreport in the mainreport and passing them. This worked, but when the subreport shows up the parameter pane is always faded out, so that the user can't see which parameter value is used or can't change it. Is there a possibility to always have the parameter pane "on"?
How do I drill through to a report from a report that's in a different directory? In the designer I can only drill through to reports that are in that project. I'm sure that there is a simple solution (hopefully!).
