Cross Report Setup Instructions for Dummies

Can someone suggest a video or webpage that provides simple, step by step insructions for setting up a cross report? The MS instructions are confusing and seemingly conflicted. I've followed them as best I can but I never get the reults or options they show. 

 

I am looking for:

 

Source Report

1. Go here

2. Click that

3. Set this.

 

Tasrget report 

1. Go there

2. Click this

3. Set that

 

Power Bi Service

1. On Source Report set these options

2. On Target report set these options.

 

Thanks

Not sure if this is a solution, but going in and turning on the "On Object Interaction" preview exposed the Page Type and other drill tyhrough features that were not visible before.

 

Hey Microsoft, you may want to mention that in your article on how to do Cross Report drill through.

Hi, I would recommend you follow this video from Power BI/Query guru @ChandeepChhabra  🙂 not on top of those youtube videos when you search 'Drill through' on youtube, but the instruction is very clear and informative. 

How to Set Up a Drillthrough in Power BI

While very clear, it was not about Cross Report Drill through. 😞

Oh sorry, cross report! then we may vote and ask Chandeep to make a new video about this topic @ChandeepChhabra  😉

Here is an example of the kind of things I am running into.

From a video only a month old showing how to set up cross report drill through:
