How do I drill down in Power BI Desktop ?
Hi,
How do I drill down from one chart to another ?
For instance, If I click on one field in Chart 1, it should only show the data for the selected field in Chart 2.
Also, how do I link Chart/Table in Page 1 and Chart/Table in Page 2. For Instance, If I select the one particular series in Page 1 and it should show the data only the selected field in the chart in Page 2.
Thanks,
Siva
We had to make a few difficult trade-offs to get the visualization framework to a place where it was truly mobile friendly, open for 3rd party custom visualizations and API extensions moving forward. The visualization framework is now completed and should not change again. One of the trade-offs was temporary loss of drill down that you see right now. Our team is working rapidly to get drill down back and implemented in an enhanced manner as soon as possible. In our user studies, we learned few people actually knew that drill down even existed. We want to improve the discoverability, user experience, and capability.
We do have monthly releases. Please make sure that you keep Power BI Desktop updated. There are a lot of fantastic features coming soon.

Drill down is temporarily not supported, please follow this link for details. It's supposed to be back soon though
Hi Siva,
as andre said it is not supported, but you may want to try use feature like custom links on dashboard parts. I described it in following thread: http://community.powerbi.com/t5/Service/Can-a-dashboard-refer-to-another-dashboard/m-p/1714#M462
