Controlling drill-through to specific visuals

I have a detail page in my report. I wish to allow users to right-click a column on the Profit chart on the Profit page and have the user drill-through to the detail page for whichever month column was right-clicked.

The Profit column chart uses dimCalendar[Month] as the axis. I have added dimCalendar[Month] as a Drill-through field of detail page. This has the desired effect - a can right-click on the column in the chart and select drill-though to the detail page.

 

So far so good.

 

But I notice that this same drill-through option is available on every other chart in my report! For example, the Absences chart on the Absences page also has columns with dimCalendar[Month] as the axis, and so the option to drill-through to the Profit detail page appears. I do not want this.

 

How can I enable or disable the drill-through pop-up menu option on the desired visuals and chart series?

Hi @Anonymous ,

Please have a try.

Created a duplicate column and used that in the visual.

 

Or you can vote here

Disable drillthrough with right-click on visuals .

As of now there is no way to disable the drillthrough with right-click option on a visual that uses a column used for drillthrough on its axis

There was a workaround to it (creating a new identical column and using it as axis) but with the new button drillthrough functionalities it can no longer be used (and it was not a proper method anyway)

Now you are forced to leave active an option that might show wrong data to the user as not even the workaround is available
