Missing Drill Through

My Drill THrough option is missing. Only the "tooltip" function is available in the reports. Would you know the reason it's happening? It's a new version.

I had to create another report and for the new PBI, the Drill-Through was available.
Thank you very much!

I was having this same problem and was able to resolve by turning off the "Allow use as tooltip" option in the Canvas > Format Page > Page Information section.

With the toggle "on" it shows tooltip options and with it toggled "off" it shows Drill-through options.  Its a bit non-intuitive that a tooltip setting would change drill-through options, but toggling that off allowed me to set drill-through fields in my report.

This was exactly it! I felt so confused because I had another drill through table in this dashboard that still worked fine but felt crazy trying to find where they moved this to. Thank you!

Same thing happened to me. I'm assuming it's just a glitch I guess. I just created a new page and copied all the visuals over to it as well. That fixed it. Strange!!

@Anonymous I see that if a report page already exist, I dont see place to add drill thorugh fields, but if I copy all the visuals on a new blank page, place to add drill through fields become available (as soon as new page created). So it works this way.

even if we duplicate page, drill through field option is not seen, so as @Akil_oliveira  says, we need to create a new page. Is it a bug or is it by design, I am not sure! I am using Feb-2024 version and report was originally made 1 year ago or so.

Hi hi.

I followed the steps, still cannot get the option.
