    Hi manojk_pbi 

    You can do this in Power BI with the Drillthrough feature. Here’s how it works step-by-step:

    1. Create a summary chart

    • Build a column chart on your main page with Year >> Month >> Bug_Type as the hierarchy on the X-axis.
    • Use a measure like:
    • Bug Count = COUNTROWS(Bugs)

    so you get counts of bugs per month/type.

    2. Create a Drillthrough page

    • Add a new page and rename it (e.g. Bug Detail).
    • Insert a Table visual with fields like WorkItemID, SnapDate, Bug_Type, Severity, State, Priority.
    • In the Visualizations pane, go to Drillthrough filters and drag in the fields you want to pass from the chart (for example Month, Year, or even Bug_Type).
    • Turn ON Keep all filters.
    • Add a Back button (Insert >> Buttons >> Back) so users can navigate back.

    3. Test the Drillthrough

    • On the main chart page, right-click any bar (e.g. March - Active3).
    • Select Drillthrough >> Bug Detail.
    • This takes you to the Drillthrough page and shows only the detailed bug rows for that month/type.

    End result:

    • Page 1 = summary chart (bug counts).
    • Page 2 = detail table (only the filtered rows from your selection).

    This is why, in my screenshot, when I clicked March >> Active3, the second page showed only those 3 bug records.
