  1. Hi Anil,

    I have been reading your precious articles. They are very informative.

    I will be very thankful to you if you could give a quick solution in my scenario.

    User have to select a label from a combo box and on the filtered rows got to build a Bar chart. This much is done. Now further i need to drill down on the bar chart and show the respective detailed excel sheet data of the corresponding bars. So its a two level kind of drilling. combo box-> bar chart -> detailed excel sheet over one bar.

    The problem I am facing is bar chart drill will always return data pertaiinig to one single row which this particular bar corresponds to. But my requirement is to click a bar, and get the detailed data of that category, which lies below this row in the next multiple rows.

    How can I do the second step drill down for detailed multiple rows data.

    I shall be thankful for your advice.

    Best Regards,
    Nirmit

  5. Hi Anil

    Thank you for showing us the drill down features. I have a problem. The .xlf file you attached here, when I first time drill down in preview, it works fine. Then I go back to the first chart and try to drill the first chart. But all the chart opens up right away. It should be one by one click drill down. Again when I run your .swf file, it is working fine. My question how you fix that problem in the .xlf file. Appreciate it

  6. I have the same problem that Ray mentioned. I have created a dashboard with couple of drill down features and when I first time open the .xlf file in preview, the drill down is working fine. But the problem arises when I go back to the first chart and try to drill down again it opens up all the charts at once. How can I resolve this issue? Any idea?

  9. I see the same issue with the sample mentioned above.

    click on either of the Regions under Zone A, B or C
    and then further drill down by clicking Region 1 for Corn. click Back and try to select a different region.

    You will be able to see the previous selection.

    Here, as well the previous memory selection is not released.

    This behavior is by design. :(
