Not able to drill Through a visual made from measures

Hey everyone,

 

I'm tryingt to drill through (right click: Drill through) on a visual that is based on a measure, which is the distinct count of an ID. I have come across other posts that have quuestions but did not find a solution.

 

Explanation of the requirement. 

 

The Data is as follows. The table G shows the column: month, ID, source 1, source 2 and the last column is a calculated column that is 1 or 0 based on if the source between 1 and 2 have changed for that ID. If it is 1 that means source 2 is different from source 1

Table: G     
Month IDSource 1Source 2Change in source
January1AA0
January1AB1
January1BC1
January1CC0
January1DE1
January2FG1
January2TI1
January3RR0
January4AA0
January4BB0
January4CC0

 

I then wanted to calculate the distinct count of IDs that had a change. In the case above, my distinct count is 2 since only ID 1 and  ID 2 have changes in source and the disctinct count for both of them are 2

 

I made a visual based on year and month of the distinct count of ID. the total number of distinct IDs is ~ 1500. This is what the visual looks like

Based on the example in the table above when I right click on Drill through in a specific month bar chart in the visual, It would be great if I could see all the IDs in that month that had a change. The drill through should look like this. The distinct count is 2 but I should still be able to see all the IDs that have a change. It's more like all the transactions for that ID

Month IDSource 1Source 2Change in source
January1AB1
January1BC1
January1DE1
January2FG1
January2TI1

 

But at the moment I'm seeing all the 1500 IDs that have a change in the year and not specifically in that month

 

Is there anyway that I can see only the distinct IDs that have a change of source = 1 in that month and not the whole year when I drill though?

@rischav - Whatever Filter you have used in your measure, try implementing that filter condition on page level filter of the drill through page and see if that helps.

@rischav - Have you applied any filter function in your measure which you are displaying in visual?

If yes, then please note that, drill through doesn't work for filtered measures.

 

Workaround in that case can be- Apply page level filter on drill through page.

@Anonymous Yes, I have. I have used calculate(distintcount, filter) to calculate the distinct count of ID where Change of source = 1. 

 

When I do the drill Through, how do I get all the IDs ( not distinct) using page filters? It would be great if I could drill through on the distinct count visual but have all the IDs in the drill through for that month that had a change of source.
