Drilldown by clicking on cell in Table visual

I want to be able to click a cell in Table visual and see details for that cell. For example, if the Table contains # of customers who purchased umberalla and pen in U.S. cities (cities in rows and umerlla and pen in columns), I want to see list of customer names in Los Angles who bought pen, if user clicks on that cell.

Is this possible?

Currently, it's not supported to drillthrough on cell level or edit cell within table visual like Reporting Service. Please submit a feature request on: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas. You can also vote this idea.

Unfortuately that is not possible at this point, you need to add slicer for each column on which you want to slice the data.
