Many times users have further questions about data, questions that are beyond the scope of a given report or set of reports.
They need the ability to Slice and Dice the data as if they were working with Pivot in Excel, but without Excel.
Please add the ability to directly analyze the data in directly in Web by slicing and dicing
Thank you

'Actually, this is possible currently by doing the following:
- ask a question about the data
- you'll be presented with all available fields for slice/dice (ad hoc) reporting
- select any dimension/measure by either (a) changing the question or (b) check or uncheck from the available fields
- finally choose / change the visual (matrix for a pivot or chart etc.)
