Drilling Down into a Chart

When a chart axis displays a date field or a cube dimension, the chart automatically provides the user with the ability to drill down to finer levels of resolution of the date or dimension.

To drill down into a date or cube dimension on a chart axis, follow these steps:

The '+' symbol is only visible when you hover over the axis.

1. Hover the mouse over the chart axis that you want to display at greater resolution. For axes that represent date or cube dimension data, this will display a '+' symbol at the left side of the axis.

 

2. Click the '+' symbol to drill down to the next level of the date or dimension.

3. Repeat the above steps to drill down to deeper levels of the hierarchy.

 

4. To drill up to a higher level of the date or dimension hierarchy, hover the mouse over the chart axis that you want to display at reduced resolution. This displays a '–' symbol at the left side of the axis.

 

5. Click the '–' symbol to drill up to the higher level of the date or dimension hierarchy.

To disable the drilling feature for a particular chart, deselect the 'Enable Drilling' option in the Advanced tab of the 'Chart Properties' dialog box. To specify a custom drill hierarchy, see Chart Properties: Hierarchy Tab.
