Dynamic Drill Through?
We have a report with a dozen pages. Each page has a grid with a differently summarized view of the same data. Would it be possible to provide a dropdown on each of the pages that provides the end user with a list of fields and let them select what to drill by?
Example use case:
1) User views data by county
2) User selects "View Next By: " of "Age Group" and clicks one of the county rows
3) User is taken to the "By Age Group" page filtered for that selected county.
4) User selects "View Next By: " of "Gender" and clicks one of the age group rows
5) User is taken to the "By Gender" page filtered for the county and age group they have chosen

Hi jrichview
You may have a look at below articles about drill through. It seems impossible to do that but maybe i misunderstand it. So it's better you could share some data which could reproduce your scenario and your desired output.

Yes, I've read all this and it revolves around a pre-defined drill-through. What we need is to permit the end user to choose from a list which type of drill through they want.
Our report is published to web and hosted in an iframe so we're not talking about a user with a Power BI license.
I'm wondering if it's possible to create a custom PBI control that would present a dropdown list and modify the appropriate drill fields on the associated table so that when the user clicks a row it drills through the way they requested.

Hi jrichview
It seems you may try to use HierarchySlicer. Here is the sample report for your reference.
