Why drill through option is not available on power bi?

Hello all,

I wanted to have a simple drill through on one of my power vi visual to the details page however I am not seeing the page type 'Drill through' in the power bi desktop. Am I missing something?

Hi @pthapa 

 

@sergej_og , thanks for your reply. Please allow me to provide another insight:

 

I created two pages and drill through page1 to page 2, here is my test procedure.

 

Page1:

Page2:

Place the fields you want to drill through into Page2 as shown here. This field needs to be a field used in Page1.

According to my test, if you turn on the following options, then the Page type option appears.

Hello Yulia Xu,

Appreciate your help.
