The drill-down functionality is wonderful, but (imo) it doesn't work correctly with respect to exporting the data. I want my users to be able to export exactly what they are looking at (WYSIWYG). Instead, what they get, is, regardless of the level of drill-down, the lowest level of detail. This is not useful!
If I have a sales chart with the following drill-downs:
- Region
- State
- County
- Customer
and I'm viewing it at the highest level, Region, I can right-click and See Data, at which point I will be looking at the same summary data as is visualized, i.e., (for example) a small table with 4 regions and their respective sales data. Unfortunately, I cannot in any way select or grab those numbers. If I then try to get that same data by using Export Data, what I get is the hundreds or thousands of rows of customer-level data.
This leaves me having to waste real estate by duplicating the same visual once for each level of drill-down that my users need to access.
Would love to hear from others on this issue, and know if there's already a suggestion to address this issue on the ideas forum (I've searched on the subject, but been unable to find anything along these lines.
Cheers!
