What is the difference between drill down and drill through?

Answer Posted / karthik

Drill DOWN means a way to filter the results to a more
detailed level from the Parent Level.
Drill UP on the other hand means to go up to a Higher
(Parent) Level from a Lower (Child) level.
There is a another term for this : SLICING & DICING (Multi
Dimesion Analysis)

Drill Through on the other hand means to drill into (get
into ) another report for getting more details. The values
from the Parent(Main) report are passed to the Child
(Detailed Report) for filter conditions.
