paginated report - drilldown, drill down, drill-down functionality setup

Posting for future reference.  Found the information hard to find and search hits intermixed with drill-through functionality.
Hence the title of this post "drilldown, drill down, drill-down" to help folks with a direct search hit.
In short found this youtube video the most usefull,  drilldown report in paginated report builder 

The microsoft official pages referenced throughout the forums points to:

Drilldown action in a paginated report (Power BI Report Builder)    which points to 

Tables in paginated reports (Report Builder)    which points to 
Add an expand or collapse action to a Report Builder paginated report   
Now the key help here is the term ToggleItem which is found only in the 3rd child link above.  Also do not make the mistake like I did of looking at Textbox cells.  We are wanting to work our way up the children of the multi level group hierarchy.
Each child group references its parent group.  Set Hidden (Visibility) to True to set the initial toggle state to unexpanded (+)

Hi @garythomannCoGC ,
Thanks for sharing this in Microsoft Fabric Community and for adding the helpful links.

This is useful information, and the way you explained the group hierarchy and the use of the parent group as the ToggleItem will assist others working on drilldown in paginated reports.

 

If you are open to it, this could also be a good post for the Power BI Community Blog so more users can benefit from it: Power BI Community Blog - Microsoft Fabric Community
