Drill Down Menu Disappears when Published

Hello - I have looked all through Google and ChatGPT and can't find the answer, which probably means the answer is so simple I just don't know how to ask the question. Anyway, when I am on my desktop I can see the drill down/ drill through menu (1st screenshot below). But, when I publish to the server, the drill down menu won't show up (2nd screenshot). Is there anything I can do to get this to show once the report is published?

Well, that was frustrating, but I figured it out. Go to File Menu > Options and Settings > Options > Report Setting. Uncheck "Hide the visual header in reading view." I thought I was going insane.

Hi @m1ngle ,

Regarding your question, please make sure the 'header icon' option is turned on.

I've seen similar. Try right clicking on a data point and see if the drill options are available.
