The drill through operation allows one to move from data at the bottom level in a cube to data in the operational systems from which the cube was derived. The drill down operation performs the operation opposite to the roll-up operation, i.e., it moves from a more general level to a detailed level in a hierarchy, thus presenting more detailed measures. |
