Drilldown not working by default

Hi

 

 I have a map report as shown below and it has 2 levels of drilldown.

 

In desktop version, when i click on the below highlighted arrows, the drilldown is happening. 

When i publish the same report, in the service the drilldown option is not defaulted selected.

So with this user need to click on Arrow every time.

 

Would like to know if there is any default option we can set in the Service / Desktop so that user no need to click on the Arrow every time for drilldown.

 

Please suggest.

Hi @nagaraj ,

Based on my test, when we enable drill down in power bi desktop and then publish to service, it will show the same result in power bi service as same as power bi desktop. Only difference is the drill down option is not shown as enable status in power bi service although it shows the same status as power bi desktop.

enable drill down in power bi desktopenable drill down in power bi desktopthe same drill status in power bi service with drill down option disabledthe same drill status in power bi service with drill down option disabled

So my conclusion is that we can keep the drill status after publishing to service, but if we want to have further action, it should be finished in power bi service. As for the default option about drill down in desktop and option, Im afraid there is no option about this, you can refer this idea to help us improve power bi: https://ideas.powerbi.com/forums/265200-power-bi-ideas/suggestions/11718786-drill-mode-by-default

Hi @v-yingjl 

 

 Thanks for addressing, in Power BI Service to enable the drilldown at present user need to enable it manually every time. 

 It will not be a good practice for user as they are not technical.

 

Voted the idea on the link provided.
