Drill Path Unavailable
A drill option is missing or greyed out — no drillable dimensions on the node, a tile with no domain, or a drill path that isn't defined

Part of Celiq's semantic layer platform. Connect your warehouse, model your data once, query it everywhere.
Note
You clicked a data point to drill in, but the dimension you wanted is missing, greyed out, or the drill returns nothing.
Symptoms
- The drill sidebar shows "No other dimensions".
- The dimension you expected isn't in the Drill into… list.
- View rows shows "No data", or the result area shows "Query failed".
- The inline drill menu never opens when you click a point.
Causes & fixes
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| Sidebar shows "No other dimensions" | The tile's node has no additional drillable dimensions beyond the one you clicked, or the domain's drill dimensions haven't loaded | Pick View rows or Explain (Orion) instead, or model more attributes on the node in Forge. |
| The dimension you want is missing from the list | Drill dimensions are scoped to the tile's own node — fields from other nodes don't appear (e.g. a spend field on an orders tile) | Use a dimension on the same node, or model the field onto that node. Numeric/metric fields are never drill targets. |
| View rows shows "No data" | The clicked value has no matching rows, or a raw timestamp was matched exactly on a grain tile | For time tiles the range is expanded automatically; if it still returns nothing, confirm the date field and clicked period contain data. |
| Result area shows "Query failed" | The breakdown or rows query errored | Re-open the drill, confirm the tile has a valid domain and reveal, and check the warehouse connection via Data health. |
| Inline menu never opens on click | The click couldn't resolve a field and value (e.g. a chart with no dimension configured) | Make sure the tile has a dimension/attribute configured so the clicked point maps to a field = value. |
| Drilling won't run at all on a tile | The tile has no domain linked | Link a domain and reveal to the tile so it can run a drill query. |
Still stuck?
A governed, ordered drill sequence (for example country → region → city) is a drill path, authored in Context Studio. If a path you expect isn't offered, confirm it exists and points at fields that really live on the node — a path stores whatever names were typed, so a typo or stale field name simply won't match. Creating drill paths requires the Weaver or Luminary role.
