I have the below matrix with 3 levels of row drilling, PBU, Entity and Plant location.
It works fine in power bi desktop, but when I publish to Power BI Service, I can only see the second level of the drill down, and when I click the + sign to see the thrid level, nothing happens.
Anyone have any idea why this may occur?

Hi @Anonymous ,
New format pane is still a preview feature.

I have 6 levels. Everything works fine in PBI Desktop. But in PBI Service, drilling down from 5th level to 6th level does not work. Specifically, I click the plus sign, it turns into minus sign, but no drilling down happen.
Hi, I have the same issue. In my case it works in the Service Workspace but cannot expand in the published app.
Hi @Anonymous ,
Did you enable the "New format pane"?

I did and the drill down still shows - signs next to the second level of the hierarchy when I publish to the power bi service and exapand the entire level.

Dear Jay,

Any solution to this? I've facing the same issue in January 2023...
likewise, 1/9/2024. + icon drills down in desktop but not in web once i publish (+ does nothing after second level drill down but still works in desktop copy as mentioned)
same issue in june 2024, the + button changes to - and does not show anything, while it works fine in the desktop
Is this issue solved? I have the same problem. After publishing the report, last level isn't showed up.
Before Published
After Publised
I'm facing exactly this problem today. Has this been solved and how? Many thanks.
Hello @Anonymous
You will have to expand the matrix by clicking on "+" icon near "baltimore"
Did I answer your question? Mark my post as a solution!
That is the issue. When I click the + sign, nothing happens.
