The DataWarehouse Explorer supports a multitude of features for analyzing your
business information, including:
|
Drill-Down and Roll-Up
|
|
Drilling down is the process of zooming in on data at lower level, thus seeing the
members that make up the current value. E.g., when viewing your company’s gross
profit per product, you can drill-down on a product category to see the profit per
subcategory or product. Rolling-up is the inverse of drilling-down, thus rolling-up
on a subcategory will provide the values per product category.

Drilling-down and rolling-up is made simple within the DWE: when it is possible
to drill-down a plus sign '+' will appear next to the item. By clicking
this sign you will drill-down on the results. When a roll-up is possible, a minus
‘-‘ sign will appear next to the item. This is analogous to a folder tree in the
windows explorer.
