One Click Drill Through

The Drill Through functionality in Power BI is available on Right Click. Is there an option or work around available to invoke it on a one click i.e. click the column value and it then navigates to the detail page, rather than, doing a right click and select drill through. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this answers the question., but to bypass the need to right-click and see the option to drill down, up, or through by hovering over a point you can enable "Modern Visual Tooltips". 

 

Go to Options > Preview Features > click the box next to "Modern Visual Tooltips", save, and restart power bi desktop.

We took a different route. Used a hyperlink and gave the functionality on a click.

Hi, Please could you tell what and how you implemented hyperlink. And how the functionality behaved? When you click on the hyperlink where does the content open? Regards, Girish

@adeshpa4 Bro can you brief on how you did it ? I have multiple filters to carry to the destination page for drill through. 

I can anticipate that deep link would become messy in my case.

Can you please explain how did you accomplish this functionality using hyperlink? Thanks!

Hi,

 

I found this online using Hyperlink as dynamic filtering.

adeshpa4, I'm trying to build the same functionality... you were able to use a hyperlink to drill through from a graph to another report? If so, would you mind elaborating?

Hi @athpl,

Based on my research, I am afraid you could not achieve this feature currently, you could vote for this idea:
