Xcelsius Graph Drilldown

When using the chart drill down capability inside of Xcelsius, there is a limitation prohibiting the configuration of a multi-series chart to insert into the same range. In other words… Xcelsius will not allow a user to click on bars from 2 different series to trigger 1 action, which can be a problem.

To invoke this problem, enable drilldown, select an insert-in cell, change the series dropdown, and select the same insert in cell. You will get an error message that reads the following:

“Insert In Range overlaps with other series’ Insert In Rage/ Please select non-overlapping Ranges for each series.” There is a workaround to get this working using the “Insert Series In:” option. By capturing the series that is currently selected, we can perform a lookup to retrieve the correct data.
