Exploring Your Data with Visual Insight Analyses Report Services Document Analysis Guide
You can drill on data in the following ways:
• Drilling on a scatter or bubble graph displays only the data for the graph
elements that you choose, then breaks the data by a selected attribute.
For example, a scatter graph contains profit data across several regions. If
you select the bubbles for the Northeast and Central regions, then drill to
Call Center, profit data for each call center in the Northeast and Central
regions is displayed.
• Drilling on a vertical line graph, a vertical bar graph, or grid displays data
only for the graph elements that you choose. The data is displayed in a
separate graph column for each attribute element on the horizontal axis.
For example, a vertical bar graph contains profit margin data across
several years. If you select the bars for 2010 and 2011, then drill to
Category, profit margin data for each Category is displayed, and a graph
is displayed in a separate column for 2010 and 2011.
• Drilling on a horizontal line graph or a horizontal bar graph displays data
only for the graph elements that you choose. The data is displayed in a
separate graph row for each attribute element on the vertical axis.
For example, a horizontal bar graph contains profit margin data across
several years. If you select the bars for 2010 and 2011, then drill to
Category, profit margin data for each Category is displayed, and a graph
is displayed in a separate row for 2010 and 2011.
For complete instructions to drill on or filter data in a Graph Matrix
visualization, see the MicroStrategy Web Help.
