    Currently, it's not supported to put entire hierarchy into a line chart axis so that we can't drill down in line chart as Nhallquist mentioned. It can't resolve a continuous line when drilling down to different level data. So to use drill down, I suggest you use column chart.

Hi Nhallquist

 

If I choose just Date, not Date Hierarchy, I get all dates. I wanted to be able to drill down the data per Quarter or Month.

See image below.

Anonymous I would recommend you add a date table so that you can use any time period you want. This blog is a quick way to create a calculated date table. And this blog outlines how to do it with "M". The value of always having a date lookup/dimension table is that you can easily parse your data by any time period in that date table.
