Graph report. The Grid/Graph report does not become a selector, but
performs in a manner similar to a selector. A panel stack, rather than another

Drilling into related data on grids and graphs
Drilling allows you to view document data at levels other than that displayed
in the document. (To understand levels, and for a basic introduction to
drilling, see the MicroStrategy Basic Reporting Guide.) You can investigate
the data in your document quickly and easily with the help of drilling.
Drilling automatically executes another document based on the original
document to get more detailed or supplemental information. It allows you to
retrieve more information after the document has been executed.
In a document, you can drill on a grid or a graph, if the document designer
has enabled drilling. You can drill on a grid or graph in Interactive Mode,
Editable Mode, and Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web.
For example, a document contains the Year and Region attributes, as well as
the Revenue metric. When you execute the document in Interactive Mode,
Year and Region are underlined, indicating that drilling is available for each
attribute. Right-click 2005, select Drill, and then select Time. Notice that you
can drill from Year down to Quarter, Month, Day, and Month of Year.
