Answer / nameer

Drilling Through :
When you are drilling on a heirarchy,you may need to drill
further than the scope of analysis allows.Rather than
setting up the scope of analysis back in the query
panel,you can use a short cut that lets you add more
drillable dimensions from the other heirarchy. This process
of appending more dimensions on-the-fly is called drilling
through.

Drilling Across:
The process of selecting the level of analysis directly in
the heirarchy is known as drilling across. That means we
can set some navigation path which will help us to navigate
directly to the target for drilling.
