I’ve a summary report with 3 metrics which have different filters
1) Total Sales
2) Total Sales Filtered by Region=APAC
3) Total Sales Filtered by Order_category=Web
There are filters applied like Year is prompted , Product Category is prompted

The count of detail matches with the Summarized reports Total Sales.
2) When I click on APAC Sales metric the Filter of Region =’APAC’ is not passing to the detail report & I still get the total count when I Navigate to detail report.
To overcome this I’ve used a go url in the Interaction
I’ve defined parameters as below ,
Path – report Path
Action – Navigate
P0 – 1
P1 – eq
P2 – “Supplier Sales”.” Region”
P3—APAC
This works fine to filter the region, but the product category column in Summary Report is not getting applied to the Detail report even after the prompt scope is set to dashboard level ,as we once click on metric & it is URL it creates a new session and the filters of the summary are not carried forward to detail .
I tried passing presentation variable to GO URL by adding few more parameters as P4,p5,p6 but it was not working .
