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?
Solved! Go to Solution.
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
