Drillthrough Filters not there

I am trying to create a drillthrough filter for the first time and following the instructions I seem to have an area missing. Under the filter section on the details page, there is no 'Drilldown Filters' section. I am therefore unable to say what fields I want to drill down on.

 

Am I missing something?

    Hi andrew_hardwick,

     

    I have the same problem following the same LINK you provided. and I am on Dec 2018 version. 

    By the look of it this has been changed (I can confirm it is not in Aug 2018 update) and as you can see there is DRILLTHROUGH section at the end of Visualisations panel (Refer to your screenshot).

    I have tested this and it does the same thing as the one which was under FILTERS section.

    Microsoft need to update their page and screenshots to avoid confusion.

    Hope this helps.

     

    Regards,

      Hi Reza,

       

      I think the instructions have been updated since I had this issue, or the make more sense now! Anyway I think the problem I had was I thought the drillthorough filters were applied on the tab you are drilling from. Actually they need to be on the tab you are drilling too. Once you have added them, your other pages using those fields will then have a menu option when you right click on a visualisation which will say 'Drillthrough' and allow you to drill to that page.
