Well, maybe. If you could tell us what your problem is, how your reports were written, how the drillthrough definitions were coded, whether it works but returns the wrong result, or returns an error, or does nothing, or...?

no one can answer your question unless you describe it in detail.

In the first report, i created a cross tab with product line as rows, year as columns and revenue as measures.
I created a second report(simple list) as target for first one.
I used drill through definitions on year with option run the report using dynamic filtering and format as pdf.
It works fine.
Then i created a third report(bar chart) as target report for second report.
I tried dril through for second report with format as pdf.
It displays internal explorer cannot display this web page.

Hi,

How is your drill through definition defined from the second report to the third? Can you be more specific about the error you are getting - "internal explorer cannot display this web page" does not look like a message coming from Cognos.

I just tried your scenario in my local instance of 10.2 and it works fine.
