Hi @Anonymous ,

As @jdbuchanan71  mentioned, you need to create a new page to enable drillthrough, put the [ID] column in the drill-through fields filter, set it as 'Used as category', then you can return to your home page, right click ID field in the table visual to use drillthrough to get the corresponding information in the drillthrough page.

Interesting @amitchandak I guess you could do it with a SWITCH() in the destination measure using the SELECTEDVALUE of the ID column.  That would still require a page for every ID which seems less than ideal if you are showing the same view for each ID though.

That's not really how drillthrough works.  You only need one drillthrough target page, not one for each ID.  Then when you right click on a single ID and drillthrough that ID is used as a filter on the drillthrough page.
