Creating reports and dashboards | Stimulsoft community forum

Hi everyone, I’m Skyler and new to the forum. I’ve been using Stimulsoft Reports.PHP for about two months and I’m really impressed with how powerful the interactive features are, especially the ability to build drill-down reports and dynamically switch data sources right from PHP. But I’ve run into a strange problem: when I set up a report that lets the user drill down from a yearly summary into monthly and daily details, everything works perfectly in the viewer, but as soon as I export to Excel or PDF, the hierarchy gets flattened - meaning only the expanded level at the time of export shows, while the other levels are either missing or not accessible. I was expecting the export to preserve the full drill-down structure, or at least give me an option to choose which levels to include, but I can’t find a clear setting for that. I’ve tried tweaking the report’s interaction settings and even experimented with the “Request from User” parameters, but the result is the same. Has anyone here dealt with exporting interactive reports like this while keeping the hierarchy intact? Any best practices or workarounds would be a huge help.

Hello,

Interactions are working in the viewer only, not in the exports.

Thank you.
