What is drill across ? can anybody explain me in detail?
Answer Posted / vikram
Drilling across:
When you drill down and up you move through the levels of
the same hierarchy. However, if you cannot find the answer
to a question by analyzing data in its current hierarchy,
you can move to another hierarchy to analyze other data.
Example: Move from analyzing Resort to Sales.Your report
displays data for Resort, which belongs to the Resort
hierarchy.
The report also contains Year, which belongs to the Sales
hierarchy, but the data for Year is not currently
displayed. If you drill across from Resort to Year,
you can then drill down on the next dimension in the Sales
hierarchy. You can also drill across to other hierarchies,
or back to the hierarchy you were originally working in.
Drilling across opens up new paths that you can follow
when analyzing data.
Before you can drill across, your report must contain
dimensions from more than one hierarchy. If this is not the
case, you can:
• Retrieve data for dimensions from more than one hierarchy
by expanding
your scope of analysis, or
• Create new hierarchies inside the report.
Thanks,
Vikram

Regarding Hyperlinking in Business Objects. We have a few reports in QA environment where a number of hyperlinks are employed using OpenDoc function.In some of the reports,hyperlink is used to move to another tab within the same report.The formula used include "DocID" and ReportName="tab name".This works fine but now,for the PROD move,this will not work as the Doc Ids are subject to change. Is there a way to overcome this?Without DocID,how will move to a particular tab? Thanks in advance
