Power Bi Java Script Api for Report Drill through

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.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-nz/power-bi/developer/visuals/context-menu 

 

Drill through buttons:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-drill-through-buttons 

 

Best Regards,
Liang
