HI, I am coming from spotfire where drill down is a nice looking slider to get to each level of data you are wanting to look at. The drill down buttons on Power BI are samll and will be a learning curve for executives who use reports we are building. I would like to create a button or two to make drilling down more intuitive and obvious. Is the possible?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Yes, you could create bookmarks and add a "bookmark navigator" to the page, which will display as buttons.
Hi @MeyertCCU ,
I understand that you would like to create a more intuitive and obvious way for drilling down in Power BI, similar to the nice-looking slider in Spotfire. While Power BI does not have a built-in slider feature for drill-down, you can create drill-through buttons to enhance the discoverability of important drill-through scenarios in your reports. These buttons can be customized to show different text or formatting based on certain conditions.
To create a drill-through button in Power BI, you can refer to
