Hi @Venu_Sunkara ,
According to my understanding, all type of chart essentially works like a matrix. "Legend" and "Axis" is like a row group, and "Details" is just like the column group, dividing "Legend" or "Axis" into different Series. Different visualizations present different forms of expression.
Tooltips and drillthrough are two great tools to help create reports. The default tooltip displays the data point's value and category, you can also customize tooltips or create tooltips based on report pages. With drillthrough in Power BI Desktop, you can create a page in your report that focuses on a specific entity, you can also use cross-report drillthrough.
I think the best way to understand these concepts is to keep using it. Here is a demo, please try it:
