2. Create a new slice.
(In the example, a slice was created out of the Future Year Model cube)
3. To illustrate the new drilldown functionality, rearrange the Slice as shown below, by selecting World for Region dimension and Total Year for Months dimension.
Tip
Aside from configuring the specific row and column members to display from the Edit Slice dialog box you can also do the ff: click on the specifc row/column member that you want to display/delete, right-click and select Keep Selected Members or Delete Selected Members (if you select only a single member then the option will display the specific name of that member).
