I am attempting to allow users to drill through a hierarchy in a chart in a portal container. The chart type is "vertical percent bars" (100% stacked columns). The default drill would drill into the stacking field and the BY field, while I want them to drill only into the BY field. I have attempted 2 methods:


1) Manual Linking (preferred):
The chart files are linked using code in the text editor, shown below. The hierarchy is Client, Location, Category, Subcategory, Vendor. In the example below, the category level is linking to the subcategory chart. The entire hierarchy is also used as page filters. This solution works perfectly except for one hiccup. Linking from Location to Category returns "No Data", even if the Category chart with the same filters works fine. The metadata for Location is the same as the other hierarchy fields and I have renamed all of my locations to have zero punctuation or special characters in case that was preventing them from being properly passed. I can't think of any reason why this one level isn't working. The charts are all exact copies of each other except for the by field and the target chart link.


(Column 3 is Category)

 TYPE=DATA, COLUMN=N3, ALT='Detail Report', TARGET='_self', FOCEXEC=Path/Subcategory.fex(CLIENT=&CLIENT.QUOTEDSTRING LOCATION=&LOCATION.QUOTEDSTRING CATEGORY=CATEGORY SUBCATEGORY=&SUBCATEGORY.QUOTEDSTRING VENDOR=&VENDOR.QUOTEDSTRING), $ 

2) Auto Linking:
This is the simpler method and gets me close to what I need. The main issue here is that I cannot seem to get the chart to appear in the same container as the original chart, instead it opens a new window and asks for parameters before running. If I manually link the charts I do not have this issue.


Any help is greatly appreciated! I've tried to put together a minimum working example with the car data set but ran into other issues. I can keep attempting if that would help to clarify the problem.

The code (Verbs for the PRINT, SUM, BY, etc.) as they relate to the drilldown code (TYPE=DATA...) would be helpful. We'd need that to further understand the issue and provide a solution. Also, the filtration code in the target fex would be helpful. If it's what I'm thinking, it may be a simple fix. But, I do need that additional information.

Doug,

I've copied the full code for the original fex below in case it helps. The code for the target fex is identical except for the second BY field and I've copied the filtration code at the bottom of this post. For the items you listed however:

In this case as you can see column N2 is the stacking variable while column N3 (the drilldown target) groups the data into columns as a BY field.
