Hello all!

I have a .fex that outputs to XLSX and I have separate .fex that outputs to PDF. I was wondering if it is possible to add hyperlinks to one field in the XLSX output (in this case store number)so when the user clicks on that store number it opens the PDF report for that store?

I have done this many times before from PDF to PDF but never from XLSX to PDF.

When I set it up the way I have in the past (see example below) and I click the hyperlink, I get "No query information to decode".
EXAMPLE:
 TYPE=DATA,COLUMN=N4,BACKCOLOR='NONE',FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/incident/std_reports/lpreportsom4/SAS_30_STORE/si_sas_30_store_dashboard.fex(\STORE_NUMBER=N4 \FMONTH=2 \FYEAR=2017 \),$


Any help would be appreciated!

The code generated by IA doesn't have the \ separators. Try:

FOCEXEC=IBFS:/WFC/Repository/incident/std_reports/lpreportsom4/SAS_30_STORE/si_sas_30_store_dashboard.fex(STORE_NUMBER=N4 FMONTH=2 FYEAR=2017),$


You should be able to drill from XLSX to whatever format you want.
