Drilling on measures in charts
You can drill on the measures displayed on the following types of chart:
• bart charts – by drilling on the bars
• line and radar line charts – by drilling on the data markers
• pie chart – by drilling on the segments
When you drill on measures, Web Intelligence performs the drill action on each dimension
displayed on the chart axes. The new measure calculations displayed on the bars or data
markers on the drilled chart, correspond to the lower- or higher-level dimensions to which
you drilled. The chart axis labels display the names of the drilled dimensions.
Example: Analyze detailed information for the sales revenue measure on a chart
For example, this 3D bar chart displays values for the [State] dimension on the X-Axis and
displays values for the [Lines] dimension on the Z-Axis. This means that the chart bars
display values for sales revenue per state per line.
As the example below shows, when you drill down on the bar for “City Trousers” in
“California” you also drill down from [State] to [City] on the X-Axis and from [Lines] to
[Category] on the Y-Axis.
