Note: You cannot drill on measures in 3D surface charts.

Drilling on axis legends

You can drill on charts via the chart legend whenever the legend lists the dimensions

displayed on the chart. When the chart legend lists the measures displayed on the chart,

drilling on the legend is not possible. The example, below, shows drilling on California,

which is one of the values on the [State] dimension listed in the legend.

Drilling on a legend is useful, if you are working with a pie chart, because the axis labels,

which display the names of the dimensions represented by each pie segment, are not often

displayed. (To find out how to display the axis labels on pie charts, see ”Showing/hiding

axis labels on pie charts” on page 189). Also, when a result is low, the segment of the pie

can be too small to drill.

Note: You can only Drill by on a chart legend, if there is a single dimension on the axis.

Drilling on an axis legend

1. Verify you are in Drill mode.

The Drill button is pressed in when you are working in Drill mode.

2. Place your pointer over the value on which you want to drill.

3. The next step depends on the direction in which you want to drill:
