Setting up conditional drill-throughs
IBM Cognos Report Studio allows you to define drill-through. However, there is no facility to define conditional drill-throughs. This recipe will show you how to achieve it.
We will use the report created in the previous recipe for this recipe.
Getting ready
Create two dummy reports called Drill 1 and Drill 2.
Open the report created in the previous recipe in Cognos Report Studio.
How to do it...
In this recipe we will create drill-through from the crosstab intersection to a dummy report (Drill 1). Then, we will try to achieve a conditional drill-through to another report (Drill 2) for certain months. To do this, perform the following steps:
First of all, create drill-through from the crosstab intersection to the first report (
Drill 1). We saw how to create such a drill in earlier chapters of this book.Now select the text item from the crosstab intersection, hold the Ctrl key and drag the text item a little to the left. This will create a copy of this text...
