The current version of Power BI visualsation framework does not support access to the previous levels in a drill-down. I.e. you only get access to the current level when rendering. That makes it very hard to develop visualizations such as pivot tables or breakdown trees. Make this possible and I would gladly submit a stable version of my Breakdown Trees :).

- Hi everyone. We've made the new matrix/table generally available so I'm closing this idea. There are still some features that we're considering and you can go add your votes to help prioritize those too: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/9207006-matrix-collapse-expand-buttons https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/17339728-more-flexible-conditional-formatting-in-tables-and https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/13808061-matrix-sort-columns-by-value https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/9508416-formatting-of-text-in-grid-and-matrix https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/19124698-vertical-column-labels-in-table-and-matrix
- Actually in powerBi Tables are not so useful: you can't interact with them. They only update when you slice or drill another report. All others BI software i know permit to use table in the same way of others graph controls. i make it simple: when i select a bar in a histogram all other graph and tables are updated to reflect the data filtered by the selected bar, What if i click a row in a table: now nothing, and why not get the same interaction of the bar? (slice or filter)
- I am looking for the same functionality. I have a few "Top 10" tables and the dashboard's functionality would be greatly improved if the user could click on one of the items/rows in the top 10 table, and have the rest of the page dynamically sliced based on what was clicked. Possible bonus feature, would be multi-select within the table for slicing.

This is killing me right now. I need tables to have basic excel functionality. Red negatives and drill down would be huge. - Currently we can edit interactions so that we can filter/highlight other visuals based on a segment in a treemap or bar on a bar chart and so on. But we can't yet use the table or matrix as a filter source. This would be a very useful addition - we may have a matrix of sales per region (rows) and product (column) and a line chart shows sales during the year and would like to show that line chart filtered by selected region or product.
- Absolutely essential. We should be able to set ever visualization as filters or slicers to other visualisations using Edit Interaction.
- Allow manually filters in a table by cliking on one specific field(s)
- Can't understand why such an essential function has been ignored.
- Allow the ability to highlight a row in Table / Matrix view by clicking on it. This can be done in Excel via some hacking of the conditional formatting function, and though I see that CF is already being worked on, don't think the row-highlight CF 'hack' would work in Power BI.
- This is a definitely a basic feature, all other vizualisation tools have. I currently cannot say to the client not this is not possible, in the "great tool" Power BI
