Hi v-venuppu
If on my destination page I have just generic info that applies to all 18 measures, and the measure doesn't need to exist on the destination tablix, is there a way to do this?
In my testing the drillthrough works fine when a measure exists in the tablix, but I didn't know if it was possible to just drill through and at page level.
E.G If i had a phonecall count sales measure and a social media count sales measure and this was going through to a generic sales tablix, can this just show the sales on the tablix that exist in the context of a social media sale? E.G 8 social media sales so the tablix has 8 rows with generic sales info?
Thanks

Hi lherbert501 ,
Yes, what you are describing can be achieved, and it's a common pattern when you want to use contextual drillthrough without showing the measure itself on the destination page.
Here's some steps to achieve it:
- You do not need to place the actual measure in the destination tablix for the drillthrough to work. Instead, what matters is the context passed through the drillthrough filter.
- The key is to use categorical fields (dimensions) or filter-friendly fields that are associated with those measures (e.g., Channel, Sale Type, etc.).
- The context (via dimensions like SalesChannel) enables the page-level filters and makes the visual respond correctly.
- This allows you to create a generic destination page that dynamically adapts based on the selected measure’s context.
Here's an example for your reference:
- If you have a SalesChannel field with values like "Phone Call" or "Social Media", and your matrix uses that to split measures, you can drag SalesChannel into the drillthrough filter pane on the destination page.
- When users drill from "Social Media Sales", the page filters to just "Social Media" sales, and the tablix shows all 8 relevant rows.

Hi lherbert501 ,
I order to drill-through a particular field, you need to give that particular field in drill-through filter.
In this case , Sale type.
No need to give all 18 measures in drill-through filter.

Hi PijushRoy
This works great, but you have to use the sale name in the row of the matrix.
I have something similar to below, where the sales type isnt specified on the home page.
Is this possible like in the attached, exactly with that layout?
