    Hi Shruthi96,

     

    It’s by design. When your report readers right-click a data point in other source report pages, they drill through to the target page to get details that are filtered to that context. And currently, no official statement that Drill through is only applied to specific report page. Set up drillthrough in Power BI reports - Power BI | Microsoft Docs

     

    When you enable Drill through in Power BI Desktop or in Edit mode in Power BI service, you can use Drill through feature by a left click. This setting is for report editors but not for report viewers and this setting won’t be kept as a report level setting.

     

     

    In Desktop, if you close your report and reopen it, you will find Drill through become unselected again. Similarly, if you come back to the report from other reports after a while in Power BI service, you will see Drill through is off too.

     

    To change the design of Drill through, you may consider submitting your idea or voting for similar ideas in Power BI Ideas: Search (powerbi.com).
