Solving Business Problems with SQL Server 2005 Analysis Services: Microsoft TechNet SQL Server TechCenter: "One of the most powerful features of analytics applications is the ability to drill down into data. This allows users to perform the iterative process of examining the data, forming a hypothesis, and then investigating the data further. By giving all users the ability to drill down through the data, organizations have opened up the data for any user to examine the data and answer their own questions about what underlies the numbers they are seeing.
