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.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-nz/power-bi/developer/visuals/selection-api
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
