Hi @Anonymous 
In Power BI, the drillthrough functionality typically works with measures rather than categories. However, there's an important exception: in table visuals, there is no distinction between categories and measures when it comes to enabling drillthrough. This means that in tables, you can trigger drillthrough actions from both categories and measures, unlike in other visual types where only measures are typically used for this purpose.
