Drill-down state callback to OData data source

Is there a way for a data source to get information about the drill down state of a visualization?


We are trying to implement a scenario where our data source does not have the possibility to get all data at once because of its complexity. Can a data source be called with the drill down state as a parameter?


We are using an OData data source and it seems like OData functions are the right way for us. Power BI just needs to fill out the function parameters.

Hi @odatauser 

Based on my experience, it seems the feature "a data source can be called with the drill down state as a parameter" doesn't support in Power BI currently.

If you have information in several data sources, you could connect to several data sources within one Power BI file, if you have connected these tables correctly, then you could use the data from several tables within one visual (like "drill down" in one visual)

If you have any problem, please let me know.

 

Best Regards

Maggie
