Navigating in Ad-hoc reports
In an Ad-hoc report, you can vary the data displayed by selecting different slice elements and by expanding and collapsing the dimensions which form the columns and rows of the report.
See Choosing slice elements in Formula and Ad-hoc reports.
Changes to the element selection in a report are reflected in the Structure Selection pane of the List Designer. And, changes you make in the List Designer affect the data displayed in a report.
See List Designer.
Drill down/expand
When a dimension is used to form the columns or rows of a report, its top-level element (for example, All Products or All Years) is displayed. Elements with a plus sign (+) can be expanded or drilled-down to reveal further elements.
Expanding maintains the hierarchical view of the dimension. As you display elements at lower levels, the elements at the higher levels remain visible.
Drilling down displays all the elements at the next level down, without displaying the parents.
You can drill down and expand in charts.
