Greetings all,
Hoping you can help with a problem I'm trying to tackle.
My data looks like this:
Data
And I need to develop a chart like this
Chart
I need the chart elements to drill through to detailed data that matches the ID (Name, etc).
Currently the chart is using measures to count the instance of the 6 categories, but that does not help with building the drill through.
Can anyone help with the best way forward?

Hi @AFinster
Since the drill needs to receive filter context, it cannot work with measures the way you have defined them.
You need to transform your pivot table into a flat, vertical table.
(This will also help with other analyses.)
Then, the drill will work as expected.
I attached the pbix you can follow my steps in PQ+ check the drill :
