Drill-down with charts

Not only is charting a means of presenting data—it is also an analysis tool.
Move your cursor over a section of the group chart on the Preview tab, so
that the pointer becomes a Drill-down cursor, then double-click to view the
underlying details for that section of the chart.

Drill-down with legends

If the chart consists of one or more group fields, you can use the chart legend
to drill down on individual groups. Double-click the drill-down cursor on the
markers and text in the legend to view the details about that section of the
chart.

Creating charts

When you insert a chart in a report, you may see one of the following options:

A chart object frame in the Report Header.

Once you have placed the chart frame, the Chart Expert dialog box
appears. For more information on where to place a chart in the report,
see

Where to place a chart

.

A chart automatically inserted in the Report Header.

In some situations, such as when there is at least one group and one
summarized field in your report, a chart is automatically added to the
Report Header, and the Chart Expert dialog box does not appear. This
usually happens when you chart on Cross-Tab summaries or when you
chart on an OLAP cube, but it may also happen when you chart on
summary or subtotal fields.
