Cannot see drill-through button action option

Hi there,

 

When I add a button to any page of my report (using Power BI Desktop), the only Action > Types listed are Back, Bookmark, Q&A and Web URL. I cannot see a Drill-through option. Any ideas please?

 

Note: I have confirmed drill-through works accurately when right-clicking on an item in the table, then selecting a page via Drillthrough, however we want to increase report user-friendliness.

 

I would add a screenshot, but I don't have permission to upload images.

 

Thanks,

Carla

Hi @Anonymous 

 

You can’t find the ‘Drill through’ option under ‘Action’?
