I would like to know is it possible to use the power Bi report drill through using the Javascript API. I had gone through the power javascript playground(https://microsoft.github.io/PowerBI-JavaScript/demo/v2-demo/index.html) but didn't find any information. If yes can anyone provide any reference links or any alternatives for the same?
Hi @tarunitron ,
Do you want to achieve Drill through in the custom visual or do you want to achieve Drill through through buttons?
Custom visual:
You need to create selection IDs so that Power BI can signal the correct context to other visuals.

The menu displays this option by binding the context menu to an element with a valid selection ID that matches the measure or field set to drill.

Drill through buttons:

Best Regards,
Liang
