Drill mode

Hi,

 

I have a Bar-Chart that shows revenue for the following hierachie: Sales Area > Sales Team > Sales Rep > Customer

 

Within the Desktop App and the PowerBI Website I can activate the Drillmode in the top right corner. This way, if I select the Bar of "Area 1" it does not use this selection as a filter for other visualizations - but rather shows me the revenue of all sales team ONLY within the "Area 1" (as expected).

 

However when using the iPhone App I seem to be lacking this functionality (or I haven't found how to enable it). When opening this Bar Chart in the iPhone App I can use the drill down mode: unfortunaltly this is going to show me the revenue of ALL the Sales Teams of ALL Areas.

 

What I would like to do in the App is selecting one of the bars of the bar chart and only drill down within this single bar!

Is there a way to do this?

 

Thanks a lot!

Chris

HI @Anonymous,

 

Based on test, current drill feature still works on my side.

Notice: current drill feature only works on phone report, you can find the drill options at focus mode.

 

Can you share more detailed information about this issue?

Hello @Anonymous

 

thanks for your reply!

 

According to your screenshots: if you tap the button "show next level" I assume you would see the next level in the hierarchy BUT for all 4 Quarters and for the years 2015 to 2017, right?

 

What I would like to do is (in your example) to highlight Q1/2015 and then drill down - ONLY for this selection. This would be equivalent to clicking the button in the top right corner in the desktop app and then clicking the Q1/2015 bar:

Thanks for your help!

Hi @Anonymous,

 

No, I found it only drill all records to next level. Perhaps you can post this request to ideas to improve the drill feature.
