| I'm setting up a linked report. The main report has several values that I want to send to the sub-report. So, I define an Action on a column, add the parameter mappings and run the report. however, when I click on the column to link to the sub-report, none of the parameters are populated with the data from the main report.I tried just typing some text in the parameter mapping and THAT data WAS passed to the subreport. So I'm guessing that SSRS is finding nulls in the data I want to pass down.Note that the column with the action defined is an Aggregate column (a count function). Would this mean that the other columns would not be available to me? |

When clicking on aggregated column what are the value you want to sent us parameters. ideally you'll sent that set of values based on which you did the aggregation in main report so that linked report result exactly matches the detail of aggregated value displayed.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |

Yes indeed. I chose the parameters based on the set of values based on which i did the aggregation in main report . If I set this up on the aggregation column itself, the parameters passed to the linked report are all null. If I use exactly the same set up on the least significant of the set of values based on which i did the aggregation in main report, all the values are there. |

| Hmm..I've done similar requirements and in all cases what I did was adding navigation action (jump to report/url ) in textbox containing aggregated value and passing other fields in the dataset (based on which grouping was applied) values as parameter values and it worked for me.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------SQL Server MVPhttp://visakhm.blogspot.com/https://www.facebook.com/VmBlogs |
