I have a pie graph that I am trying to link to a report passing two parameters: main_product and status_desc. X: unit_no, Y: main_product, across: status_desc.

Graph Code:
SUM CNT.FUELRPT.UNIT_NO AS 'UNIT COUNT'
ACROSS FUELRPT.MAIN_PRODUCT
BY FUELRPT.STATUS_DESC
....
TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=unit_fuel_bystatus.fex(PROD=A1 STATUS=N2),$

Report Code:
WHERE ( FUELRPT.MAIN_PRODUCT EQ '&PROD.(FUELRPT.MAIN_PRODUCT).PROD.' );
WHERE ( FUELRPT.STATUS_DESC EQ '&STATUS.(FUELRPT.STATUS_DESC).STATUS.' );

I tried following discussion, but I couldn't get it to work for me. https://forums.informationbuilders.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/...141068331#1141068331

Thanks in advance!

Jeff,

Let us identify where your problem lies. When you click on the drilldown link, what URL is being passed?

It should be something like -
http://[yourwebserver]/ibi_apps/WFServlet?
blahblah&IBIC_server=EDASERVE&IBIF_ex=unit_fuel_bystatus.fex&PROD=[somevalue]&STATUS=[somevalue]

My code above gave me the URL result of &PROD=Unleaded&STATUS=217.00& (217.00 is the unit count).

So, I tried passing the ACROSSCOLUMN:
STATUS=N1 (URL result for status: &STATUS=%20)

Next, I tried how the above linked discussion described:

SUM CNT.FUELRPT.UNIT_NO AS 'UNIT COUNT' FUELRPT.STATUS_DESC NOPRINT
ACROSS FUELRPT.MAIN_PRODUCT
BY FUELRPT.STATUS_DESC
....
TYPE=DATA,
ACROSSCOLUMN=N1,
FOCEXEC=unit_fuel_bystatus.fex(PROD=A1 STATUS=N3),$

And my URL result was PROD=DIESEL&STATUS=0.00&

I tried a bunch of different variations without any success.

Jeff,

Try using the column name instead of the column notation - i.e. MAIN_PRODUCT instead of A1 and STATUS_DESC instead of N3.

Tony,
I tried it, but the report is still blank with the URL for status as %20. I am starting to believe this is not possible. Have you successfully passed two parameters from a graph to a report? If so, could you share your code?
Thanks again for your help,

Jeff,

A small example that you might be able to utilise -
-* File basic_graph.fex
-DEFAULT &Year     = 1990
-DEFAULT &Category = 'Coffee'
-SET &Rand = RDNORM('D12.2') * 100000;
DEFINE FILE GGSALES
  YEAR/YY = DATE;
END
TABLE FILE GGSALES
SUM DOLLARS AS ''
ACROSS CATEGORY AS ''
BY YEAR AS ''
WHERE YEAR EQ &Year
  AND CATEGORY EQ '&Category'
HEADING
"&Year - &Category"
END
GRAPH FILE GGSALES
SUM DOLLARS
BY CATEGORY
ACROSS YEAR
WHERE YEAR FROM 1990 TO 1999
ON GRAPH SET LOOKGRAPH LINE
ON GRAPH SET GRMERGE ON
ON GRAPH SET STYLE *
TYPE=DATA, ACROSSCOLUMN=N1, FOCEXEC=basic_graph(Year=YEAR Category=CATEGORY Rand=&Rand), $
ENDSTYLE
END

The parameters being passed are defaulted to non existant data values to begin with, just to show that they have changed after you have clicked a link.

Of course, this may not be the type of graph you require but it shows that it will function and might assist in your understanding?

The &Rand is just to force the creation of a new report and not serve one from cache.

Good luck

T
