I want to create a drill-through function from a Cognos Analytics 11 Dashboard to a report. Although I have some experience with the dashboard-module, I'm pretty unfamiliar with reports.
How should I build the report, so that the dashboard acts like a filter? Can this be achieved just by creating a report with a List, containing the same variables as those included in the dashboard?
Can someone guide me through the process?
Thanks in advance!

Yes, here is an IBM link that may also help

Quick Summary/example
1) Create a report (a simple list to start) with filters
[Year] = ?Year?
[Month] = ?Month?
etc.
2) Create a dashboard with the elements year, month, etc
From the dashboard
Add new drill-through (the icon looks like an arrow over a bullseye target, near the trash can. It will appear on the swing out menu when you click on the overall visualization in an area of whitespace)
Navigate to the report
The filters from the report will appear, match them to the dashboard columns
To test, run the dashboard. Right click on the part of the visualization that represents a metric. A swing out menu with an icon for drill through should be available. Select that icon and it should go to the report

I have two reports, one is kind of a navigation report where we can choose the KPI(Accident statistics for exemple), click on It and we will be directed to Accident page of the second report concerned. The navigation report has a Selection page where we can make a projection of data in a specific perimeter (to select for exemple a coutry). The second report has the same page Selection.
My question is : How can I keep filters selected in the Selection page of the navigation report after being directed to the second report without reselecting the filters on the second report ?
The solution may exist in Power BI Desktop or online, but the manipulation issue is in Power BI online.
Thank you in advance guys !
I need to have a BI Dashboard where the columns(eg, Brand) or group of columns ( eg, Company, Company site) have to hide/show in all analysis of dashboard based on check box selections with Brand and Company respectively. I am able to pass the column header and formula based on selection through Presentation Variable in Prompts, but stuck with hiding columns when the respective check box in unchecked. Note than I'm using OACv5.8.
Thanks in advance for any help on how to achieve/proceed further.
Why don't you use standard, out-of-the-box functionality like column selectors or show/hide sections?
Instead pf playing with presentation variables and trying to fiddle around.
I am working a data visualization and I have removed any filter on the whole page and also turned off all the filters on the visualization as well as the page. I still see cannot see the data.
But I see the data is still getting filtered, How do I remove these?
this is how my visualization looks like.
The screenshot in your comment clearly shows two slicers that define a date range. The visual is filtered by these slicers, not by page filters or filters on the visual. This is working as intended and is not a malfunction.
If you don't want the slicers to filter the visual, you need to configure the cross filtering for the visual. Use Format > Edit Interactions to control which slicers affect which visuals. Select the slicer, then click the icon on the target visual that looks like this:
In your screenshot, the visible slicers and the slicers in the pop-up of the visual have different names. That points to slicers that have been deleted from the page but are still filtering the data.
Is it possible to have a Table Panel in Grafana, and when you click on a row, it shows a graph from another set of time series?
I see there is a feature request for it, but I'm not sure it's available yet
https://github.com/grafana/grafana/issues/5481
Looking for any suggestions on making the rows in a Table Panel
'clickable' and use it to drill down to a more detailed view (another
dashboard using Template variables). Currently displaying a summary of
several servers as rows in a Table Panel and we want to select an
individual row (i.e a server) to drill down to a more detailed
Dashboard.
Any ways to do this?
Thanks
You can achieve this also in 4.x by defining a link for a table column (in the Column Styles section under Visualization). The link can refer to another dashboard and embed current cell's value (or other cell in the same row) as a parameter.
For example the link Url can be:
/d/c9xaXx5Zz/tree-node?var-datasource=$datasource&var-interval_id=${__cell_1}&from=$__from&to=$__to&var-path=root
In Grafana 6 or above you can preserve the time range filter using the $__from and $__to built-in vars.
The available built-in variables to access cell contents are not well documented, but they can be found by hovering over the (i) icon of the Url in the table panel.
More info on built-in vars: https://grafana.com/docs/reference/templating/#global-built-in-variables
The feature request you linked to is a duplicate of this one which links to this Pull Request. The PR was recently merged so it is available now as a nightly build and will be included in the upcoming 5.0.0 release in September/October.
Drill Down Option can be used from General option from Grafana Dashboard.
Copy the link in the Url of the table which you want to show. Change the items in the variable part which is changing according to the need.It will be of format var-name=value
The link URL works well if you are linking to another dashboard, but it does not work well if you are changing a variable on the same dashboard as it does not auto-refresh.
You can add JavaScript into the URL instead of a link.
javascript:$('a.variable-value-link').trigger('click'); $('span:contains(${__cell:raw})').closest('a').trigger('click');
The JavaScript only works for a single dropdown, it would have to be updated if there were multiple dropdowns. I worked on this quickly, so I am sure there is a better way to use JavaScript to change the variable. It basically opens the dropdown, finds the value from the current row and selects it.
Apologies for these recent newbie questions, but I'm obviously not asking the search engines the correct questions.
I have a report I'm trying to reconstruct after upgrading from VS2008 to VS2010 introduced errors into an existing Crystal Report. So, I have a semi-working report I'm trying to duplicate.
I have a report containing some subreports. The Main Report has some parameters in queries within "Database Fields" and I need to pass those fields to a particular Subreport's "Parameter Fields" so that it can then reference those parameters in its own queries.
So, my question is: How do I create the association between the query result on the Main Report and the parameter on the Subreport?
For Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 - That's the only one that works currently, isn't it?
When adding a sub-report [or changing the "Change Subreport Links" for an existing report] you can select the parameter on the subreport from the drop-down on the bottom left of the 'Links' tab (or Subreport Links dialog, if editing an existing subreport)
Once you've selected your field (or Parameter) on the left in the 'Available Fields:' list, click the > button to move it to the right and you'll see link options appear below. so this is the field from the main report you want to use as a parameter for you subreport
Underneath, on the right select the parameter (from you subreport) you wish to link it to. This is the parameter in your subreport that you want to use
does that make sense.
Maybe some images would help.
Depending on your version, the terminology might be slightly different, but you should be able to right-click on the subreport and select "Change Subreport Links".
From the Available Fields column, find your parameters and click the > button to move them over to the "Fields to Link" column. Click OK when you are done.
Now go to your subreport, and make sure that the parameters you linked are available as parameters; you should be able to use these parameters in your Record Selection for your subreport.
