In Power BI Embedded, can I hide the drill down buttons on the left (not the toggle)?

[Jaxidian]

We're using Power BI Embedded and we want to leverage the capability to drill down into data as you click on it. We love the filter/drill-down toggle in the top-right corner of the visualization but we hate the two drill-down buttons on the left side as it creates a confusing and slow UI for the user. Is it possible to hide the "Go to the next level in the hierarchy" and "Expand all down one level in the hierarchy" buttons but leave the "Click to turn on Drill Down" button? We have discovered how to suppress the Navigation and Filter bars but I can't find out how to hide these buttons.

As far as I know, it is not possible. You can submit an idea at Power BI Ideas and vote it up.

Thank you for the response. Is there *any* way to control/manipulate these buttons at the top programatically?

Those drill-down buttons are for different levels, for me, I won't hide any of them.

As to your question, the answer is no, there's no way to hide any of them, you can submit an idea at the site in my previous post.

Thanks for the answer. I have already posted a suggestion in that other site.

For me, the reason I want to suppress those buttons is because my drill-down hierarchy is date-related so everything is aggregated by the Month, then Day, then Hour. If they drill down by click on a month, they see 30 days. If they then drill-down by clicking on a day, they see 24 hours. However, if they drill-down using those buttons from month, they then see 12*30=360 days. And if they click on it again, they then see 360*24=8,640 hours. While I understand Power BI pages and doesn't load all of this data immediately, it's still quite sluggish and the Visualization becomes quite confusing and unuseful, and it's not clear what is going on.

My whole reason for wanting to hide those drill-down buttons was because I was trying to keep the user from running into this bad user experience. (I still need the drill-up button, obvously.)
