Hi Narendra,

 

No. We are not able to perform drill down action in a table or matrix visual.

 

The drill down feature needs hierarchies between fields. Because of the rendering mechanism of a table or matrix visual, those hierarchies can display completely when we drag those fields to a table or matrix. So we needn't to perform drill down action to see detail data.

 

If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

 

Best Regards,
Qiuyun Yu

hello,

i think that the person that posted the original question is referring to the "show levels" options in power view, which allow you to drill down on row and column matrix tables.

 

i looked for this functionality in power bi desktop, but could not find it either.

hopefully, this is being worked on, as an update in the near future, as matrix tables are popular.
