Hi @kulapjit,

Based on your description, you want to use the drill down option to view data following date time hierarchy, right? If that the case, firstly, drill down feature is not supported in line chart, this is by design. Currently the drill down feature is only available in the following visualizations.

Bar Chart
Column Chart
Clustered Bar Chart
Clustered Column Chart
100% Stacked Bar Chart
100% Stacked Column Chart
Line and Stacked Column Chart
Line and Clustered Column Chart
Waterfall Chart
Scatter Chart
Pie Chart
Treemap
Map
Filled Map
Funnel
Donut Chart

Secondly, you can choose bar chars or column charts to display your data and use drill down feature. And please note that Power BI automatically adds a time hierarchy that includes Year, Quarter, Month and Day. As you need to view hour data, you will need to include time column into your table and drag Date/Datetime column along with time column in the Axis field bucket, here is an example for your reference.
