  • All levels
  • Last level and history
  • 1, 2, or 3 levels

All existing dimension values remain visible, allowing you to see the full structure while drilling deeper. No data is collapsed when a new drill is applied.

Drill All Levels

Focuses only on the active drill path. This is the default drill behavior.

When drilling, all other dimensions are collapsed and only the selected element and its parent hierarchy remain visible. This helps reduce noise and keeps the report focused on the selected drill structure.

Drill Last Level and history

These options control how many levels in the drill path are expanded.

  • 3 levels

Opens three levels in the drill path. In this case, it produces the same result as All levels, showing all three available levels.

  • 2 levels

Skips the top level and hides the Company dimension, showing only two levels in the report.

  • 1 level

Skips the two top levels and hides both the Company and Business Area dimensions, showing only the lowest level.
