drillthrough is not working

Hi

 

I can't seem to figure out why Drillthrough is not working, I have tried directconnect and importing a dataset, starting a new report, but the drillthrough filter is nowhere to be find, the filter options where you decide what the drillthrough should filter on.

I already did look at the article, and several others.

 

I just tried putting a value in the drillthrough pane, I can then drillthrough to the page I put this value in, but I can't use the "keep all filters" option for some reason, and there is no troubleshooting information or information about limitations on this option.

 

I am going to update the drillthrough page because it does not explain that the new drillthrough pane works like the old one, the new one makes it seem like you can just make a drillthrough to the page if you turn it on, but you still need to put in the filters you want to drillthrough to.

@AndersMadsen @Anonymous, 

What version of Power BI Desktop do you use? I can use drill through filter in Power BI Desktop June release.

I'm using the latest

 

And i have the "keep all filters" turned on, but for some reason no matter which visual I put drillthrough on, I can't rightclick and select "drillthrough to page", the option simply isn't there.

@AndersMadsen,

It seems that you haven't create proper report using the drillthrough filter. Please check the example in this article.

If you still have questions about the filter,please share me a PBIX file with dummy data, you can share PBIX file through online service such as OneDrive.

Lydia
