MicroStrategy ONE
Filter and Drill in Your Heat Map Visualization
You can filter and drill on data in a single visualization, without affecting the data displayed in any other visualization. Drilling allows you to examine your data at different levels of detail.
If you are examining sales data at a regional level, you can choose to drill down to view the same data at the level of individual franchise locations.
Each visualization type provides different options for manipulating and exploring data. This section assumes you are analyzing data in a heat map. See Analyze Data for information about analyzing data in other types of visualizations.
