Aid User In Drill Down

I am wondering if there is a way in Power BI to help the user maintain a sense of context while they are drilling down on a bar chart.

 

My specific bar chart has an axis with three levels - fiscal quarter, product type and product family. When I drill down into the product type breakdown for a specific fiscal quarter, there is no graphical indication of which specific quarter I am looking at the product type breakdown for.

 

Does anybody know of a way to make this series of clicks less confusing for the end user?

 

Thank you.

Use the "branching" drilldown (furthest right) instead of the double arrows drilldown?
