navigation on subtotal

I have a matrix and a subtotal footer summing up a group of numbers. Each row has a primary key. I use the primary key to drill-through another report through "Navigation".

Unfortunately, the generated subtotal column also have a link but it has a primary key of whatever the first row is, which shouldn't have a primary key. So I can drill-through the subtotal but it returns the wrong result.

I have not been able to override the subtotal to specify a new link with different paramters.

Anybody can help would be great!

Thanks.

In the place where you define the drillthrough action with its parameters, you have to use the InScope(...) function to determine if your are in a subtotal or not.

Please check the MSDN documentation about the InScope function:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/RSCREATE/htm/rcr_creating_expressions_v1_0jmt.asp

With InScope you can determine the current scope of a matrix cell. Note: a matrix cell is "in scope" of column and row groupings, so you need at least two InScope function calls in the case where you have one dynamic row and one dynamic column grouping. E.g.
=iif(InScope("ColumnGroup1"), iif(InScope("RowGroup1"), "In Cell", "In Subtotal of RowGroup1"), iif(InScope("RowGroup1"), "In Subtotal of ColumnGroup1", "In Subtotal of entire matrix"))

|||Thanks for the suggestion. But I have two dynamic rows, one for SubTotal and one for Grand Total.

<DynamicRows>
<Grouping Name="GrandTotal">
....
<DynamicRows>
<Grouping Name="SubTotal">
...

I am having a hard time to link it to a correct report as it appears that GrandTotal is in scope of SubTotal. I am not sure to put that in the omit node as well.

If you can give me some instructions that would be great.

Thanks.

|||there are two subtotals, one is the rightmost column and the other is the bottom row. How can I disable the navigation for these two subtotals and still have navigation "In Cell"? Thanks if you can help or point out some resouces that I can go check.|||

Use the InScope function as described earlier in this thread.

For the cells, you would generate the desired hyperlink or drillthrough link. For subtotal scope you would just return Nothing (i.e. VB equivalent of null) in the IIF arguments. If a hyperlink expression evaluates to Nothing for a particular cell, the hyperlink action will be removed entirely.

Hi, Robert,

The problem is still not solved. I still want the subtotal number shows on rightmost column and bottom row. The way that you told me, I will get empty column and row on the end. Let me try an example here:

co1 col2 col3 subtotal

row1 3 5 7 15

row2 1 2 3 6

subtotal 4 7 10 21

3, 5, 7, 1, 2, and 3, will have a hyperlink to jump to another report show detailed page, but I wanto 4, 7, 10, 15, 6, and 21 to show the number but disable the hyplerlinks.

Thanks!

Yes, that should work fine.

For the matrix cell, you use an expression that shows calculates the value (e.g. =Sum(Fields!A.Value)).

Then, on that textbox add a navigation action. Only for the hyperlink expression you would use the complex expression using IIF calls and InScope calls.

Hope this clarifies it.

Hi, Robert,

It works now. Thanks!

The key point: "sum(fields!a.value)" in Matrix cell and complex expression using iif and inscope in navigation action.
