Drill-Down

  • 2 minutes to read

The built-in drill-down capability allows end-users to change the detail level of data displayed in dashboard items on the fly. To learn more, see Drill-Down.

The Chart dashboard item supports drill-down on argument or series values.

Drill Down on Arguments

When drill-down on arguments is enabled, an end-user can click a series point to view a detail chart for the corresponding argument value.

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDownOnArguments

Drill-down on arguments requires that the Arguments section contains several data items, from the least detailed to the most detailed item.

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDownOnArguments_DataItems

Note

In OLAP mode, you can perform drill-down for either a hierarchy data item or several dimension attributes.

To enable drill-down on arguments, click the Drill Down button in the Data Ribbon tab of the Chart Tools contextual tab set (or the Chart_Interactivity_DrillDown_Toolbar button if you are using the toolbar menu)…

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDown_Ribbon

…and the Arguments button (or the Chart_Interactivity_FilterByArguments_Toolbar button if you are using the toolbar menu).

Drill-Down on Series

When drill-down on series is enabled, an end-user can click a series point to view a detail chart for the corresponding series.

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDownOnSeries

Drill-down on series requires that the Series section contains several data items, from the least detailed to the most detailed item.

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDownOnSeries_DataItems

Note

In OLAP mode, you can perform drill-down for either a hierarchy data item or several dimension attributes.

To enable drill-down on series, click the Drill Down button in the Data Ribbon tab (or the Chart_Interactivity_DrillDown_Toolbar button if you are using the toolbar menu)…

Chart_Interactivity_DrillDown_Ribbon

…and the Series button (or the Chart_Interactivity_FilterBySeries_Toolbar button if you are using the toolbar menu).

Drill Up

To return to the previous detail level (drill up), use the Drill Up button within the Chart caption or in the context menu.

Chart_Interactivity_DrillUp

Enable Drill-Down in Code

Use the ChartDashboardItemBase.InteractivityOptions property to access interactivity settings. This property returns the ChartInteractivityOptions object.

To enable drill-down, set the DashboardItemInteractivityOptions.IsDrillDownEnabled property to true. Use the ChartInteractivityOptions.TargetDimensions property to specify whether to drill down on arguments or series.
