Drill through from matrix not working correctly when row or column is first selected

[DKfromtheBay]

I have a matrix visual with fields in both the rows and columns.  When I drill through via clicking on a cell, it works fine.  However, if I click the row or column header (i.e. to cross highlight other visuals), then drill through via one of the cells in the highlighted row/column, the drill through filter only honors the row/column level filter, not the cell level filter context.

Hi @DKfromtheBay 

By default, drilling won't filter other visuals in a report. However, the report designer can change this default behavior. As you drill, look to see if the other visuals on the page are cross-filtering or cross-highlighting. Please refer to:Drill down and drill up in a visual - Power BI | Microsoft Learn

As you described, did you want to filter other visuals when you drill down?

You can create a bridge table for the mutual column, made a relationship with the other two tables and used it in the two tables.   similiar solution

Hi @v-yadongf-msft 

I was referring specifically to DRILL THROUGH not drill down.

I have a separate drill through page set up in my report, and if you right click -> drill through on a matrix value, it works fine.  However, if you first LEFT click on the matrix on a value or row/column header, this highlights that row/column and cross filters other visuals.  Then, drill through on a cell in the matrix does not pass through the correct drill through filters; it only passes through the filter associated with the row or column that was previously clicked on, but not the corresponding row/column filter for the specific cell in the matrix.

For example, I have a matrix with 5 rows (a, b, c, d ,e) and 5 columns (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).  The total value for column 2 is 50, with the values of 10 in each row.  I want to drill through on cell A2 to see the underlying details for the 10 items in the cell.  This works fine unless I first click on the column header for column 2.  Then if I drill through on cell A2, I see all 50 items, not the 10 in cell A2.
