Drill down in Power BI Desktop

[bebeto]

Hello,

How can I drill down in a component to show the detail? I want to define a basic Dashboard but I can't get this functionality...

Thanks!

@bebeto There isn't any drill down functionality yet that will, for example, start at a bar chart and let you drill down to a table to give you row level detail.

You could sort of mimic this behavior by pinning a graph/visual to the dashboard, and then changing the visual to a table. Or just including the detail table/matrix next to the pinned visual on the report page.

This will "drilldown" from the dashboard tile to the report page. That is the only way I've been able to work around this for the moment.

Thanks for the approximation @Seth_C_Bauer. I hope this functionality will be enable soon, as I think is a basic in a Dashboard design...

@bebeto just thought i'd add some commentary for the future. This feature is called Drill to details for Power BI as opposed to Drill Down. Drill Down is the concept of drilling down heirarchies by interacting with a chart. It just got enabled last month as part of the 44 feature update.

Here's the suggestion for Drill to details though so do throw your votes on it!
