Good afternoon,

I have searched through the documentation and the forum and I don't see an answer here. I am trying to open a COGNOS report when a user clicks on a piece of a pie chart and pass the name of the piece (functionMLT) to the COGNOS URL. Could you please tell me how to do this?

I have tried a bunch of variations with no success. Thanks!

Beth,

This may not answer your question because I'm not familiar with COGNOS reports. When I build a drill down chart I always pass a parameter in the following way:

Name: Produce_Type
Value: FIRST(Fields!ProduceType)

For some reason when you click on a component within a chart it automatically narrows the array down to the "clicked" type. This means that all array components are now equal to "Bananas" and "FIRST" will always return that value. So, if I click on "Bananas" in my bar chart suddenly the "FIRST(Fields!ProduceType)" is equal to "Bananas" even if Bananas resides in the second index spot in the array (so the array looks like {Apples, Bananas, Oranges})

I hope this helps...
