Drill through doesnt work when fields are selected with a slicer

[CL7777]

Drill through buttons do not appear to work if the field that is selected and chosen for the drill through comes from a slicer.. For example... I would like to choose a customer name from standard slicer as follows:

When I select this customer name, I have a drill through button that is supposed to become active when I select the customer name field.. it is does not become active, meaning it does not recognize that I have selected a customer name.

If, however, I instead select the customer name from a table:

The drill through button now becomes active and I can use it to drill through to the drill through page on that customer.

Why doesnt a slicer selection activate the drill through button, but the list selection does? Can I make the slicer activate the button?

Hi all,

I have same issue, except that i use a date slicer. When nothing is selected on the date slicer the drillthrough works perfectly well. I aslo see that it drillthroughs on all other years except for year 2023. What is the cause of this and how can it be fixed?

No, that's not how slicers work. They are already a filter. 

What you can do (and what you are basically doing) is have a table visual that is controlled by the slicer, and then drill through on the table visual once you have made your slicer selection.
