I've been looking for this for a while so thought I'd ask.
I use a matrix with ah Date hierarchy field to drill down in to lower levels (Year/Quarter/Month).
However, when I drill down you don't see what previous level you were on
e.g. if you drill down in to 2018 - Q1 - January you only see that you are in January and need to know what year you went in to.
Is there a quick way/option I'm missing to turn on to show the full "path" on the label/row? (without building a custom hierarchy where you add calculated columns and build it yourself)
Thanks!

@Anonymous Can't believe I missed that one. I use it all the time when using multiple fields so they are stepped but it didn't occur to me that it would do the same for a Date hierarchy!
Thanks!
