Different Titles for Different Levels Of Drill Down

I think it would be really powerful and insightful if you were able to add different titles to different levels of a chart as you drill down through it.

Yes Jake! That's a feature that would be very useful. Good thinking

'Yes - I agree. I'm not sure if this is exactly what Jake is thinking but I need a way to see where I drilled FROM. Example: When I drill through a date hierarchy and I get down to the day, the default title reads "Sales by Day and Region" and the bar graph labels are 1, 2, 3, 4... - but what month is that? And what year? There is no indication of the higher levels in the hierarchy from whence I came? Possible solutions: - Breadcrumbs in the graph title - A way to build dynamic graph titles using tokens that represent the drill hierarchy - Have the graph labels retain the drill hierarchy. Instead of the labels drilling as "2016" --> "June" --> "1" they drill as "2016" --> "June, 2016" --> "June 1, 2016" - Stack up the axis titles as we drill (first line is current level, 2nd line is the level above that, etc.) so my title would be: Day June 2016 and now the bar graph labels (1, 2, 3, ...) make sense Something ...

There are other registered ideas that are almost the same as this one. This uncontrolled idea submitting option is not efficient. I think this is a really important feature but because of the inefficient registration does not get the votes it deserves (now its fragmented).

Definitely needed. Without it I have no idea about the current drill down context.
