Passing filter values between parent & child reports.

Mukta shared this question ago

Answered

I have a parent report say 'Summary_Report' which has a filter called 'Show Zero Balance'.This filter contains values as 'Yes' & 'No'.Now, when I am drilling through to a child report say 'Detail_Report', I want to pass the value of filter 'Show Zero Balance' to child report only when its value in parent report is 'No'.When the filter's value is 'Yes' in parent report, I do not want it to be passed from parent to child report.Any suggestions/thoughts on this?

Hi Mukta,

Glad you got it sorted, though I've also managed to get it working using an OR filter on the child report, with a hard coded value also.

In my case (using Ski Team data) I've got a gender filter on the child report, and have Gender = Male OR Gender = <user prompt>

This way when you link to the parent report, and click on 'Female', it passes that along, and the report will already have 'Male' selected also.

If you click on 'Male', then it will be applying 'Male' & 'Male', so no Female results.

See screens below along with export against Ski Team.
