Hi, i have a couple of pie charts one has one dimension and the other has 4, the things is this:
One of them, the one with more dimensions, when i click in one of its slices, it does a drill down on its data, if I click again, nothing happens.
The other, the one with only one dimmension, then i click one of the slices, it does a drill down, but i I click again, it dows a "drill up".
What makes this behaviour to happen? i would like both my pie charts to go down, and then come up, if the user keeps clicking.
I compared both charts, but couldnt tell any difference, so I bet is depending on how are the dimmensions defined or so.
Any Suggestions?
Regards

When you click you're doing a selection, if you click something that is selected this will cause QV to remove the selection.
To do a drill up you have to click the Up Arrow on the chart references.

That's cool. Daniel mentioned and recommended Stephen Few. I'll second that recommendation.
The only other comment I wanted to add is that if in a 4 dimension drill-down you select a value at the top (1st) level and that value at the 2nd and 3rd level are 100% of the pie, the drill-down will skip those levels and show you the 4th level. Then you click on the up arrow as Daniel says.

Thanks everyone, i figured out, thanks to Daniel's comments that the selection in the Pie chart that was not "drilling up", it was becase the selection is being made in 2 dimensions at the time, and the one that worked, it is just selecting 1, so this means that i can remove with one click only one filter, not 2.
Thanks a lot for your help, and by the way, great reference to Stephen Few's article.
