For example, you may want to drill into a large report that covers a long time period: you can view a particular short period by selecting the relevant portion.

For some chart types, you can stack multiple values (multiple result columns) in the same chart. These appear as multiple lines in a line chart, or a stack of different colors in a bar, each color-coded and labeled. |
