This function is only available if you have chosen a hierarchy for at least one characteristic. You can choose a hierarchy using the function Extras ® Choose hierarchy in the report definition or Edit ® Hierarchy ® Choose from the report list.

The function Expand to level expands the hierarchy down to a certain level and hides all the levels above it. This function is especially useful when you want to give structure to a hard-to-read report.

If the cursor is positioned on one row of the report, the system only expands that row and the ones which lie below it.
