Greetings,
I followed the Poweer Bi tutorial to create a Drill Down page and tool.
When I select the INSERT tab and select button, I don't see a Data or Drill Down button option??
I tried a Blank button, still no Data or DrillDown option??
I would appreciate any pointers to resolve this.
Regards,
Clive

Hi @Anonymous ,
Drill down is not a default button,so you cant directly find it in "buttons",try to import a similar visual online:
Then check below reference to link the button the related page:

Hi,
Thanks for your reply, unfortuanetly that doesn't help.
I have a MS Spreadsheet in Power BI Report. The Report has 15 Categories, and each category has a number of sub-categories.
I want a button for the main category eg LAND, then another button for each sub-category that can be toggled on and off.
The image illustrates what I am trying to do when the user clicks the Category and sub-cateogry button/s, the filtered data fills a table.

I think you can also try to create bookmarks for each category/sub-category views, then call this on different buttons, and this will lead to that point of view.
Hope this makes sense.
