Hi,
I'm using SQL Server 2012 SP2.
I'm creating a main Dashboard, with a multi-selection dropdown list.. the source of the Dashboard is an OLAP DB, (Cube).
I've some measures on the Dashboard and it works as expected... e.g. Dropdown list lists Countries.. when a Select a country from the list the measures are affected by the selection... perfect!!!...
Then I've created another report, to allow the user to drilldown and understand the measures.... imagine, I've the Number of Cars by Country then the user clicks the Measure, "Number of Cars", and he/she is redirected to a report with the list of Cars...
The Detail report has a label named "Back to Home", the user uses that label to return to the main Dashboard...
To Implement the navigation I did the following actons:
1º) I've created a shared Dataset with the Countries, (to populate the dropdown lists);
2º) Main Dashboard - Created a multi-value parameter named CountryList, populated with the Shared Dataset;
3º) Detail Report - Created a Hidden multi-value parameter named CountryList, populated with the Shared Dataset;
4º Main Dashboard - on the Action of the textbox that shows the "Number of Cars" Measure... Selected the Detail Report as target of the action, and passed as parameter the values of the dropdown of the main dashboard, i.e., =Parameters!Countries.Value
(SO FAR SO GOOD... it works as expected...now I'm able to drilldown to the detail report and the detail information is filtered by the passed parameters...)
5º) Detail Report: "Back to Home" text box... Configured the action of the text box to back to the main dashboard.... selected as target of the action the main dashboard, and passed as parameter the values of the hidden dropdown of the detail report, i.e., =Parameters!Countries.Value.
it seems work... the selected value of the Countries dropdown of the main dashboard seems ok... it seems that the selected values was passed from the detail report... but..
The issue is when I try to select another item on the Countries dropdown list of the main dashboard.... the selection is the same forever..I'm not able to change it again.....
e.g.
Dropdown list has the values USA, UK, France, Italy... A select USA and click "View Report".. then click on the measure.. I'm redirected to the detail report.. and the detail report data are filtered by USA... GOOD... then I click "Back to Home", it works again...I'm now on the Main Dashboard with the measures filtered by USA... but now I need to do the same analysis by UK... I change the Dropdown selection to UK... it seems work.. but when I click "View Report"... the selection changes automatically to USA... and I won't be able to change the Country selection again....
Many Thanks for your help!!
