Drill through not working in Power BI mobile apps

I added a drill through feature to a table in Power BI Desktop and it works in Desktop and in Service. I am having difficulties when trying to get this feature to work in the mobile app. I click on a record within the table that has the drill through feature applied, but nothing pops up when I click to take me to a new page.

 

Do I need to interact with the table in a certain way? i.e. press and hold to see the drill through option?

 

Is drill through in mobile apps not supported for a table?

Hey @Anonymous,

 

July release of Power BI Desktop has now tooltip for Table and Matrix visuals (https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-july-2018-feature-summary/). With that, drill up/down/through in mobile is enabled for these visuals.

Make sure you enable tooltips in desktop for those visuals (there is a new toggle option to enable/disable tooltip).

 

Thanks Maya

I agree - Nov  update seems to have broken the drill-through page feature. 

Hi @tejasvaria-kpmg,

Thank you for reporting, we were unable to reproduce the issue.

Can you please specify which device you are using iOS/Android, Phone/Tablet?

And from which visuals you have been try to use the drill options?

Thanks,

Michal
