Testing this custom drill through action top rep s.

http://emea.windowsitpro.com/SQLServ...328/45328.html

One thing that I cannot get to work is when i have the dimension as a page
field and select a record - it ignores this selection
in th URL sentence for reporting services but when putting the dimension as
a row field it works.

That isn't what I want however - want it to work with selectins in page
field as well.

Tried making a calc member that shows level.ordinal for the project
dimension and this actually shows the correct value when using the page
field so i don't understand why it isnt put in the url.

This is the MDX url sentence:

Listing 3: URL Action
"http://localhost/ReportServer?/Drillthrough/Drillthrough" +
iif(Measures.Currentmember IS Measures.CompCount,"&Meas=comp","&Meas=bid") +
iif([Project].currentmember.level.ordinal<>0,"&Proj=" +
[Project].currentmember.properties("key"),
iif([Date].currentmember.level.ordinal<>0,"&Year=" +
[Date].currentmember.properties("key"),""))
+
"&rc:Parameters=false"

Anyone ?

In my opinion the use of action as drillthrough to reporting services is
greately reduced if this is true ?

I think there's something wrong with the cell level action and filter
fields.

Tried putting this into an cell level (url) action...just to see what result
it would give me

[DAte].currentmember.properties("key")
....but the action is ONLY visible when having the date dimension on row ...
not when date is a filter field.

That must be an error - in a normal drillthrough it selects the whole tupple
regardless of choice in filter, row or column fields...?

What is the client tool that invokes the action - and is it using a
calculated member for multi-select filter?

Hi

For the time being I'm actually just trying to get it to work in cube
browser....but I tried using the excel add in as well.

No calc members.

Try putting this into sales in foodmart as a cell level url action

"http://search.msn.com/results.asp?q?="+[Customers].currentmember.name

Then try selecting USA in customer as a filter filed and something else such
as promotions as rows....

The URL as a result of this says:

http://search.msn.com/results.asp?q?=All%20Customers

If I put customers into rows and remove promotions and choose to activate
action on the USA member it says

http://search.msn.com/results.asp?q?=USA

Therefore I interpret this as AS disregarding my filtering fields when using
cell level action ?

Actually this is a known bug in the cube browser.
If you had written an app (or used a front-end tool which exposes cell-level
actions, e.g. I think the new Proclarity version now in beta does) to look
at the action it would have been rendered properly.
