Accessing Drill-Through Reports from the Spreadsheet
Using Spreadsheet Add-in, you can access detail-level drill-through reports that are based on
the member intersections of Essbase data cells in the sheet.
Each drill-through report has been predefined by an administrator at your organization; that is,
each drill-through report is already set up to retrieve specific columns from the relational source
and to sort and filter data in these columns in specific ways. Using the Drill-Through Wizard,
you can customize these predefined drill-through reports to retrieve only the data that you want,
displayed in a specific way.
To access the predefined drill-through report, double-click a drill-through cell in the spreadsheet
(or select a range of cells and select Essbase > Linked Objects). You can set styles for cells tagged
as “drill-through” to help identify which cells in the sheet are associated with drill-through
reports.
When you double-click a drill-through cell, Essbase displays the Linked Objects Browser dialog
box, which displays a drill-through report entry. A single cell can be associated with multiple
reports. The Linked Objects Browser dialog box also displays entries for linked partitions and
other linked object types, such as cell notes, URLs, and application files.
After you view or customize the drill-through report, Integration Services retrieves data from
the relational source and displays the results in a new spreadsheet.
➤ Before starting the drill-through tutorial, perform the following tasks:
1 Open the sample Essdt.xls file.
The sample spreadsheet file contains the appropriate member intersections from the sample
database for the drill-through report. This file is provided as part of the default Essbase
installation.
2 Set a style for data cells that are associated with drill-through reports.
