    Thanks for posting to the Community!

    We don't support navigation paths in visualizations in reporting. It is a high priority and you should see it in a near future release. As of now, reporting supports navigation paths on non-visualizations like lists.

    Thank you, ​

    Thanks for the response and the picture!

    Navigation paths are available for Data modules. Drill up and drill down are available for packages such as the one you showed.
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSEP7J_11.0.0/com.ibm.swg.ba.cognos.ug_cr_rptstd.doc/t_cr_rptstd_modrep_create_drill_up_drill_down_report.html

    Navigation paths do allow for non-straightforward heirarchy such as Product Line -- Loyalty Status) If you would like to see this added to packages, please log an RFE at the site below:

    Thanks for the response!

    I tested this briefly on my end and it seems to be working fine. The picture attached shows a data module with a navigation path that connects Loyalty ID, First Name and Last Name. 

    Please log a support ticket so we can troubleshoot this further for you.

    Hello, I am having the same issues. I have created the data module with a navigation path. In a dashboard, the functionality works as expected, however, the report (using a list or crosstab) throws the same error as you have posted:

    'One member must be selected before you can perform this operation'

    I have played around with some settings other people have used:

    Report -> properties -> run with full interactivity = No. Then under Advanced Drill Behavior, checking Allow Drill-Up and Drill-Down.

    In this case,  the drill-down behavior when running the report in html does not work at all. Clicking does nothing, and their is no quickbar to access the drill down commands.
