If you mean, to split a calculation into it’s components… No.

Drilling in general doesn’t make sense on measures. You drill on dimensions. Drilling is about hierarchies of dimensions.

thank you mr Krandel for your reply,

thats correct it does not make sense, but lets say we have a MEASURE by the name COUNT(of customers ), wat if we want to see the names of customers whose count is this… using drill mode???

Lets say you have count of customers in a particular region. Then you might want to drill on region to show the customers associated with a particular region instead of trying to drill on the count.

Hope this makes sense.

You should be looking at the OpenDocument function, see this topic for starters
