Setting up documents for drill analysis370

You can only drill up on a dimension value if:

• you have previously drilled down to that dimension

• you have defined the appropriate drill path in the scope of analysis.

For more information on setting the scope of analysis, see ”Setting levels of analysis”

on page 41.

Drilling up on a dimension value

To drill up on a dimension value:

1. Verify you are in Drill mode.

The Drill button is pressed in when you are working in Drill mode and the drillable

values display on the report as hyperlinks.

2. On a table or section cell, right-click the dimension value on which you want to drill up,

then on the shortcut menu click Drill up.

Click the Drill Up icon next to the dimension value you want to drill up.

NOTE: If the table is a crosstab without headers that display the names of the

dimensions on the table, then the Drill Up icon appears next to each value from

which you can drill up.

The report now displays data one dimension level up. The filters that filtered the value

you drilled up from, are removed from the

Drill toolbar.

Drilling by

When you drill down or up, you move through a hierarchy one dimension at a time.

However, you can get another view of the data by slicing it in a different way, and then

look at the data in other hierarchies. To do this, you drill by the other dimensions that

interest you.

Example: Drilling by the Products hierarchy to slice sales revenue results by product

The Drill Up icon appears next to the name of

each dimension from which you can drill up.
