View the Detail Data Behind the Values in a Crosstabulation Table

Multidimensional data sources sometimes enable users to see the detail data behind a specific aggregated value or behind the aggregated values in an entire row or column. The data is displayed in a separate dialog box. You can export the data to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. Your data administrator determines whether detail data is available. If detail data is available, the aggregated values in the crosstabulation table will be underlined if they are linked. If report linking and drill-to-detail are enabled, then the aggregated values that are linked will not be underlined. You can right-click a cell value and then select either Click to view linked content or View Detail.

To view detail data, complete these steps:

Perform one of these tasks to open the View Detail dialog box:
- To see the detail data behind an aggregated value in the crosstabulation table, click the value (which is underlined).
- To see the detail data behind a row or a column in the crosstabulation table, right-click the row or column heading in the innermost level of the innermost hierarchy in the row or column, and then select Show Detail Data.
