Drill through on a single cell and issue with pie chart

Hey guys, I am bit new here and with Power BI. I was trying to make some drill through pages but I have encountered 2 problems.

The 1st is when I made the drill through for all the columns in a matrix table then the outcome in the drill through page was all of the affected categories in the row selected, although I just needed the outcome of the cell in the table. 

 

Then I made a simple pie chart of the categories there but then it would not give me the drill through option when I right click the category in the same file. I can still do the drill through on the tables though with the same issue as above. Do you guys have any thoughts on this?

Hi jimmybi ,

 

Drill through is depend on the column not the value in a column. You can not drill through from a cell. For more details, please refer to:

Hi Jimmy,

 

Thanks for the reply. I actually did not understand the problem well. After playin around with it I realized that the only time I can have the drillthrough option is when the filter categories are selected as summarized. If I leave them selected as category, they won't show up as a drillthrough optiion at all. So when I have them as summarized, then it will show me all of the values, the ones that are 0 and 1 in this situation, instead of only the ones that are 0 or 1. Maybe now its clearer and you can help me?
