Improvements to crosstab and table formatting
The formatting for crosstabs and tables was enhanced to improve usability.
Display members in the data tree
You can expand hierarchies to display the members in the data tree. In the Selected sources panel, members are organized into a data tree structure, with parent and child members. Now you can show or hide all levels of the hierarchy, including the child members.
Drill through from a dashboard to another dashboard
You can define drill-through definitions from a dashboard to another dashboard. The values you select to drill through from are passed as global filters to the target dashboard.
