When drilling from a chart to a category using the Drill to Category Chart Type, all the Category Object filters will be passed to the destination category in the same way that a normal drill down works.
...
The destination category must have Category Objects enabled, the passed filters (from the source category) are then used to fill in these Category Objects.
Any extra filters from the source category will be ignored in the destination category, for example if you’ve filtered the chart on the source category by using a ‘Top’ filter
If the destination Category has a default value set for a Category Object it will be overridden if the Category Object on the source Category is a different value when Drill to Category is used
If the source Category has a default value ‘All’ set for a Category Object it , the destination category will also be overridden, filtered to ‘All’ when Drill to Category is used, if the Category Object on the source Category is a different value
When drilling from a chart to a category using the Drill to Category feature, now all the filters are passed to the destination category, just like how a normal drill down works to carry all the filters. This requires the destination category to have Category Objects, and the passed filters are used to fill in these Category Objects. The extra filters from the chart are ignored (because the configuration is not available in the destination).
**Further explanation about excluding filters:**
(Source category: CatA, target category: CatB):
CatA Category Object can untick "Filter", doing so won't pass this category object as a filter to CatB
CatA chart can select "Manually apply category filters", doing so won't pass any category objects to CatB
CatA chart Dimensions can untick "enable drill down filter", doing so won't pass a dimension to CatB. This also applies if the destination category has a default value set.
The following information relates to how filters are excluded:
If the ‘Filter’ box has been unticked for the Category Object filter on the source category, the Category Object filter on the destination category will not be changed when Drill to Category is used
If ‘Manually apply category filters’ is selected on the source category, the Category Object filter on the destination category will not be changed when Drill to Category is used
If the Dimension ‘Enable drill down filter’ is unticked on the source Category, the destination category will not be changed when Drill to Category is used
CatA chart Measures won't be passed to CatB
**Further explanation about Category Object default values:**
```
If CatA has Region Category Object,
And Region has "North" selected
CatB Region is set to "North" regardless if it has default values
If CatA has Region Category Object,
And Region has "All" selected
CatB Region is set to "All" regardless if it has default values
...
- not sure on this one
**Further explanation about Operators:**
Operators: Filters can have different operators, while each category object type only supports one operator.
So if the filter (the source) is using an operator that the category object (target) accepts, the value is kept
Otherwise the filter is ignored
Current supported Operators of each category object type, and the filter operators that can be used to set these category objects:
SELECT - EQUAL_TO - (accepts: EQUAL_TO)
SEARCH - IN - (accepts: IN, EQUAL_TO)
CHECKBOXES - IN - (accepts: IN, EQUAL_TO)
IMAGES - IN - (accepts: IN, EQUAL_TO)
NUM_PICKER - EQUAL_TO - (accepts: EQUAL_TO)
SLIDER - BETWEEN - (accepts: BETWEEN)
FREE_TEXT - LIKE - (accepts: LIKE, EQUAL_TO)
SINGLE_DATE_PICKER - EQUAL_TO - (accepts: EQUAL_TO)
DATE_PICKER - BETWEEN - (accepts: BETWEEN)
