Cross report drillthrough back button not working

[po]

Hi,

Have 2 reports (.pbix files) and have set up crossreport drillthrough and works in that can drill from report a to report b on product name.

However, when drill from report a and try and select the back arrow button which is created when set up cross report drillthorugh nothing happens even though action on button is back.

Does back only work within the same .pbix file?

Was expecting the back button on report b to go back to report a when selected.

Thanks

Hi @po,

please have a look at the documentation of Cross report drillthrough.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/create-reports/desktop-cross-report-drill-through
At point 5 it says:
If you're using the page for cross-report drillthrough only, delete the Back button that's automatically added to the canvas. The Back button only works for navigation within a report.

Hi @po ,

The back button only works on different pages of the same report.

Maybe you can submit an idea .
