Drill up and down generally refers to moving up and down a hierarchy.

consider a time dimension having levels as year->month->day.

Now if we use this dimn. in our report.


Initially all year will be dispalyed say for ex  - 2006,2007 and 2008.

Now if u click 2006 then all the months of that particular year will be displayed and then if click any month , all the days within that month will be displayed.

In this way we moved down in a hierarchy of a time dimension.

And I m not sure whetheer drill up works in report studio.
But in cubes both drill up and down works ..
