Drilling on charts
You can drill on:
• chart body – drills to the next dimension up or down and displays the values for the
drilled dimension on the X-axis. The measures displayed on the chart body are
re-calculated according to the drilled dimension.
• pie chart legends – this 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. Also, when a result is low, the segment of the pie can be too
small to drill.
To drill down on a chart
1. Verify you are working in Drill mode.
The Start Drill Mode button is pressed in when you are in Drill mode.
2. Right click or rest your pointer on the chart bar or marker on which you want to drill
down.
A contextual menu or ToolTip indicates the next dimension(s) in each related drill path.
3. Click the option in the Drill menu or click the chart bar, line, or marker directly.
The drilled results appear in the chart.
A filter for each related dimension value appears as a list box in the Drill toolbar. These
filters represent the dimension values that you replaced by your drill action.
