Drillthrough Reports

  • I have created a report (report1) that I can then drill into report2 (Action > Go to Report) - On report1, I specify name of report2 and give it the parameter report2 needs.

    Test this out and all works fine - I can click on my "hyperlink" on report1 and it will take me to report2 and execute the datasets for report2.

    What I need to do now is be able to get back to report 1 from report2 without having the datasets execute for report1. I want to only have the datasets on report1 execute if the "view report" button is selected. How can I make sure the datasets won't execute when going from report2 back to original report1?

  • Use the back button that appears near the paging buttons on both Data Tools and Report Manager

  • ssrs_back

    The last button is the back button - which will return you to the parent report without refreshing the data.

  • thank you

  • Jeffrey - I don't have that last "back" button that you do

    My browser header area looks like the following

    We are running SQL Server 2014

    with Reporting Services version:

    server

  • Is that your drill to or drill from report in the screenshot? that button will only appear on the report you drill to when you've gotten there from the drill from report.

  • The screen shot was from my drill to report...

    I can use the "back button" on the URL, but I'm not a fan of using that, so was hoping for an option within SSRS to use instead.

    What is the button technically called? I can research it, might be something not available in the version we are using.

  • Just another note - I can see and use the "Back to Parent" button if I'm in Visual Studio > Preview...just not when viewing on a web broswer.  Tried Chrome; IE; Firefox

  • How are you getting to the parent report?  If you are linking to that report from another source - then that link can be configured to disable the navigation buttons.  If you are getting to the sub-report using a link with ..\ReportServer\.. instead of ..\Reports\.. that will also disable/remove the back button.

  • Jeffrey,

    In Visual Studio on my parent report, I go to my textbox properties > Action > Go To Report  ---> specify my child report and the parameters that are needed for that report.

    I go to the following URL:  http:\\svrname:8080\Reports_XXXXX/Pages/Folder.aspx  ---> select the folder I want to upload and view/run my reports.

    I hope this is what you were referring to??
