Data item value is the one which is render in a prompt or container retrieved from per-generated values. ex combo box, list values, which has data item values and may show different display values.

Pass parameter value is usually is one which are entered by the user, like a text prompt where user enters the value to retrieve the report. ex. entering a customer number, or order number manually.

Pass Data item means, in a drill through reports if we passing Column values(ex: ?Column_Name?), it is called passing data item value.

Pass parameter means, In drill through reports is we passing parameters(ex: ?parameter_Name?), it is called passing parameter.

While defining a drillthrough for certain measure based on the data it is retrieving for we have to pass data item value/parameter value
ex: if you have Geo field in row/column you are referring to which has multiple values in it then you have to pass data item value......whereas pass parameter is used when the field is not used in the layout and there is a prompt available for user to select.

Please correct me if I am wrong
