level, users can only drill down from that level in the hierarchy. They cannot drill upwards above the level you select in the chart.
You can drill in reports that you are viewing, but you cannot drill in reports while you edit them. Active data stops and then restarts when drilling.
5.3.1 Drilling Down
Drilling down means to display data one level down the drill path and display it in the same view type in the current report. Drilling down is an option when intermediate
levels exist in the drill path and the next level down is not the last level in the drill path. If the next level down is the last level in the drill path, it is only possible to drill
through. In some cases, drill through is also not an option because report designers can disable the drill through to detail option.
The drilling areas include bars or labels on horizontal axis in bar charts, and segments or legends in pie charts. You can also drill down into a collapsed list on a row of data.
Right-click to view the drill options.

5.3.2 Drilling Up

5.3.3 Drilling Through
Drilling through means to display data at the lowest level of the drill path and display it in an Updating Ordered List, Collapsed List, or Action List view. Drilling through
