Trigger Drill through functionality by clicking on attribute not on value

Hi, 

I would like to have the possibility to trigger the drill through function when clicking directly on the attribute I would like to drill through.

Here the drill through option is not listed: 

I would like to have these options when I click directly on the attribute and not only on the value:

Is there any way to configure it that way? Or is it planned to enable it this way?

 

Thanks in advance!

Best regards, 
Katharina

    File-> Options and Settings -> options 

    and then use this interface to activate modern visual tooltip option and restart power bi desktop

     

    After that,  activate the Modern Visual tooltip

    Once done you will get the drill thru option directly on hover of mouse like below:

      Thank you for your message. This is really good to know, but does not solve my problem 😞

      The hover box only appears when hovering over the values and not over the categories / y-axis in the bar chart.

  • kathaSch ha! that's strange, I guess that is how it works.  Maybe use button for drill thru, in that case (I guess) once value on x-axis is selected, it will allow to drill thru, although I know it is not directly answer to your question but just an option/

      Thank you parry2k ! 

      I will make this suggestion to the endusers of the report.

      A column, the same column the bar chart shows in the y-axis. And a value from this column or y-axis I would like to select and filter the drill through page by.

       

  • kathaSch this is strange, can you convert your visual to a table/matrix visual, and see if it allows drill thru on the column from table/matrix visual?

      parry2k  this works fine with a table or a matrix. In the bar chart it is only possible when clicking on the values (x-axis) but not when clicking in the y-axis area.
