Saving drilled results and ending Drill mode

save the drilled results and end your drill session.

You can then continue your drill analysis on a duplicate report and keep snapshots of
different anlayses you perform on the same results.
(For information on duplicating reports, see ”To duplicate a report” on page 77.)
• save the drilled report in drilled mode – enables you to save the results you drilled to
and keep the report drillable for further analysis during another session
• end drill mode – enables you to save the drilled results in a static format. If you drilled
on the original report you lose the results displayed prior to your drill session. If you
drilled on a duplicate report, you retain the results prior to you drill session on the
original report and keep a copy of the drilled results in static format on the duplicate
report.
