Bug or expected behavior when using a drill hierarhcy
I have a date hierarhcy that goes:
year
quarter
month
week (based on a monday start date, so 9/19, 9/26, etc.
When i drill from month into week on a bar graph, data for the 9/26 week gets split into two columns: September/October because the hierarhcy wants to include the next level up as part of the filter. Is there a way to turn this behavior off and simply drill down a level?
I get th ebehavior using the level drill down as well as drilling into a single bar's value using the top right corner drill functionality.

Hi @TheGreatUnwashd,
Based on my test, I'm not able to reproduce the issue in my environment ( Power BI Desktop version: 2.38.4491.642). I have created a Date Hierarchy contains Year, Quarter, Month, WeekNum, date. When I turn on the drill down by clicking right top button, then click on the column from 2016->Qtr 3->September->40, it will display date from 2016.9.26-2016.9.30.
In your scenario, please take a look at attached .pbix file and update the desktop to the same version like ours. If issue persist, please share detail information for us to reproduce the issue.
Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

I was able to replicate the behavior using the double arrow drill down, but not the single arrow drill down.
