In Tableau Desktop, you want users to drill from Region down to Sub-Region with the (+) icon. Which single action creates the required hierarchy most directly, without using any Data-pane menus?
Change the data role of Sub-Region to Geographic > Area so it nests inside Region
Drag Sub-Region onto Region in the Data pane until a dashed outline appears, then release
Select Region and Sub-Region, then choose Data menu > Create Parameter
Right-click Region on the Rows shelf and choose Create > Calculated Field
Dragging one dimension directly onto another in the Data pane creates a new hierarchy containing the two fields. Tableau immediately opens a small dialog that lets you accept or change the automatically generated name, which defaults to the two field names separated by a comma (for example, "Region, Sub-Region"). None of the other actions generate a hierarchy: creating a calculated field makes a new field, creating a parameter builds an independent control, and changing the geographic role only reclassifies a field's data type.
