About drilling to detail

You drill to detail to analyze a particular folder in a business area or to see what values make up a particular summarized or aggregated value. Discoverer displays the detail data in a new worksheet. Drill to detail is set up by the Discoverer manager. For example, you might drill from Department in a sales worksheet to display information on all departments in a new worksheet.

In the example below, you want to analyze the component values that make up the Region summary values. You select the Region item then display the drill dialog and select Products list.
