:raised_hands: INTRODUCTION

Drill down and break down give your team instant analytical depth without leaving the dashboard. These powerful interactions transform static charts into exploratory tools - click any data point to understand what’s driving the numbers.

Break down lets you split a metric by any dimension you choose - product, region, customer segment, and more. While viewing a chart, you can add or change breakdowns at will to see different perspectives of the same number.

Drill down is a filtered breakdown applied to a specific data point. When you click a value, the chart filters to that item and then shows its breakdown based on your selected dimension. Each click takes you one level deeper in the hierarchy.

Supported visualizations:

  • Line, column, bar, area and combination charts
  • Pie, donut, pyramid and funnel charts
  • Pivot table
  • Conversion funnel chart (only Break Down available)

[New update] Customize the Dimension List :partying_face:

When a user clicks “drill down” or “break down,” the default dimension list displays all available dimensions from the dataset. Holistics allows you to customize this dimension list to enhance your users’ experience.

For example, you can highlight the most relevant dimensions and organize them into groups such as locations, products, and user demographics as shown in the video below.

You can configure the dimension list at either the dataset level or the visualization level. This customization will apply to all metrics within the selected dataset or visualization.

[New update] Disable the Drill Down & Break Down Features at Your Discretion

In Development, you can disable the Drill Down & Break Down features for an entire dataset or a specific visualization as follows:

Dataset ecommerce {

  models: [...]
  
  relationships: [...]

  metric {...}

  settings {
    analysis_interactions {
      breakdown {
        enabled: false
      }
    }
  }
}

Note that the most restrictive configuration applies. In other words, for “Drill down” and “Break down” to be available in a visualization, it must be enabled at both the dataset and visualization levels.
