Drillthrough issues - doesn't work with date slicer

Hi all, 

 

I am currently experimenting with drill throughs, and can make them work mostly - but have an issue that I will try to explain. 

 

My dataset is simply: user, country, datearrived, dateleft set-up in a matrix - I have linked the date fields to the date table (one active, one inactive and using USERELATIONSHIP as appropriate for date logic sums). I then have a slicer for dates so I can quickly view arrivals/depatures in a month (my date table has a MM-YYYY column that I utilised for this slicer). 

 

However, when I set up the drill through in Power BI the country works in producing a drill through, but the date fields do not produce any filtering in the final version after the slicer has been applied - they will provide a top level amount as if the date slicer had not been used, but will not filter things down further than that. 

 

Is there a beginners guide to drillthroughs that I can look at to assist with the process and make sure I've ticked off everything I am supposed to have done?

Hi @twofingertyper 

 

The drilling method is not applicable to the slicer.

 

The purpose of the slicer is to sift through the data. Rather than presenting the data by drilling down.

You can drill down through a category and then filter using the slicer.
