    Hi arhantjain ,

     

    When using drillthrough, detailed data is required to filter the second page. So we need to click twice, first select the data to be drilled, and then drill. Clicking in Power BI has many other modes of interaction, such as cross-filtering and cross-highlighting. So this is by design to prevent confusion and false touches.

     

    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).

      Thanks Gao for replying..!!

       

      I have tried to solve the issue by using URL filter string parameters.

      I have created a 'custom table by example' in which all filter URLs are filled and web link created in table in dashboard.

       

      But still there are some issues, if you could help in solving those...

      1. by clicking on link, it is opening a seperate window. (Though the data is filtered as required), but can it be open in same window.?

      2. Can we place a button in each row, which opens the child page of that corresponding value..?

       

      Thanks in Advance.

       

      Regards

        Hi arhantjain ,

         

        I believe that all the links for new windows has the "_blank" as part of it and so a new window will always open.  That said, there may be some sort of html or javascript (which I do not know) that might be able to overwrite that option.

    Hello, I'm looking to implement this same functionality of a user only clicking once. Did you happen to figure out a workaround for this?

    Thanks
