Pattern Decisions This Source Supports

Pattern Supported decision Required contract Claim note
Chart drilldown Choose Chart drilldown when a visible chart mark represents an aggregate with a direct child series that answers the next analytic question. A drillable mark can only reveal data that is a child of that mark under the current filters, metric, unit, time range, aggregation, and permission scope. Tableau documents drilling up or down within a hierarchy by adding or removing levels of detail.
