# Date Drill

The date Drill feature allows you to view your dashboard tiles at the same level of date. With a click, you can go from seeing monthly data to say quarterly or yearly data on your dashboard. In addition to the [Drill feature on individual tiles](https://docs.sprinkledata.com/product/analysing-your-data/reports/build-using-tables/advanced-features/drill-hierarchical-and-date), the Date Drill feature enables you to understand your data and trends at different granularity at the dashboard level.
