Drill-through report is to link two reports containing related information. You can thenaccess related or more detailed information in one report by selecting a value in another report.Drill down report allows the reader to drill down to lower level data sets and drill up report allows to drill up to higher-level data sets, provided you are using a dimensionally modeled data source. This will allow you to rerun the report for a different dataset without having to regenerate the report.An example of a dimensional hierarchy might be:Years - Year - Quarter - MonthDrilling up and down allows you to view more general or more detailed information on your datawithin such a predefined dimensional hierarchy, without having to create different reports.

Drill down is like in time dimension from year to qtr to month to week etc., In drill through you cannot only drill down in a single dimension but you can go to the next dimension as well.
EG take 3 dimension tables as time, product, region. Now in drill through you can get the details like January month, abc product detail in xyz country.
