[SOLVED] how to drilldown on an across field that is variable
I'm working on a report that drills down from a term graph to another graph that displays application statuses for that term.
From this new Application Status graph I would like to drill down to different reports depending on the status selected.

For example: clicking on the 'admitted status' would run a report on weather the person has enrolled in classes yet and clicking on the 'prospect status' would run a report on what correspondence has been sent / received.

The problem is, not every term has every possible status(it varies from 5 to 14 values), and I need a 'general strategy' to check each column in the report to see what value it holds and set the drill down procedures based on that column's value.

Is this possible? has anyone done anything similar?

I would set the same drill-down procedure for all terms, passing a variable that determines which fex should actually run, then, in the drill-down procedure, include the appropriate fex.
