Drill Down on Matrix Wont Show When I Publish to Power BI Service

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.

Hello @Anonymous 

 You will have to expand the matrix by clicking on "+" icon near "baltimore"
